Disarm or face nuclear war, author warns
By KARFN OLSON
"The one thing you cannot do
with mobilized bayonets is to
sit on them."
That statement by Napoleon
Bonaparte characterizes the
dangers of a modern-day arms
race between the United States
and the Soviet Union, accord
ing to Dr J. David Singer, a
University of Michigan politi
cal science professor who
spoke here recently.
Singer, author of several
books on international affairs
and arms control, sees the
ultimate result of an arms race
to be nuclear war.
"SALT II is a step toward
disarmament," Singer said,
adding the present balance of
arms between the United
States and the Soviet Union is
a deterrent to war
Singer explained the danger
of losing this balance a
country’s deterrence is mea
sured by the number of
nuclear weapons and the
threat these weapons impose on
its opposition But as conven
tional (nonnuclear) weapons
are improved and become
more destructive and as
nuclear weapons become more
diverse, he said, it is becoming
impossible to predict the
military capabilities of oppon
ents.
It is at the peak of the
resulting insecurity and ten
sion that war will start, Singer
said.
Could the U S. make the first
move to disarm, without
endangering national security?
According to Singer, to
maintain enough of a threat on
the Soviet Union to deter their
attack, it is not necessary to
keep an equal balance of
weapons with the U S S R.
"To make their initial
threats ineffective, all we need
are enough weapons to ride
out a first attack, and show
that we will retaliate." he said,
adding the U.S. could be as
far behind as three to one in
arms and still maintain an
effective threat
"Foreign policy makers
must realize that the nuclear
arms threat can no longer be
used to influence the politics of
other nations, because of the
danger of mutual destruction
these threats impose." said
Singer
He predicted if disarmament
does not begin we will be faced
with nuclear war within the
next 20 to 40 years.
The professor, a member of
the mental health research
department at the University
of Michingan, said we need
more research in the area of
human and group behavior and
its relation to international
conflicts.
"The scientific methodology
used in the physiological and
biological sciences needs to be
applied to the socio political
sciences so that reliable
informaiton can be compiled
and used as a basis for making

foreign policy and to accurate- tions of Wars project which he

Singer told of the Corolla- more than 2000 international
socio political scholars By
dividing 90 major power
disputes into those that were
accompanied by arms races
and those that were not. they
found an 83 percent likelihood
that confrontations involving
arms races lead to war
Too often. Singer said,
decisions on international poli
cy are based on not much
more than the opinions of the
domestic coalitions who keep
politicians in power
He also suggested the
decision makers of this country
show very little willingness to
compromise
Several years ago. Singer
said, when the SALT agree
ments were just beginning to
be formulated, he served on a
consultory committee of politi
cal and historical researchers
for the Department of Defense
According to Singer, the
typical question asked of the
committee by the department
was: ‘How can we get out of
the arms race without giving
up anything at alP"
Resume one of most important steps to
entering business world, says official
By LISA SUE MESSING
Finding a job is uppermost in the minds of many prospective
University graduates each spring quarter and one of the most
important steps to entering the business world is writing the
resume, according to John Cox of Career Planning and
Placement
A resume is the medium through which you advertise yourself
to prospective employers. It is a sheet of neatly typed, tersely
docketed information representing the summation of all your
education and employment experiences as well as your interests
and goals
This singular sheet must make you stand out as a full-fledged
individual from the stack of resumes on an employer's desk. Cox
said.
There are several methods of approaching resume writing but
there are general rules which should be followed. Cox said.
Begin by typing your full name, address and telephone number
at the head of the page Keeping in mind that employers do not
read resumes but skim them, use a wide left-hand margin to title
the sections of your resume.
The first section heading should be entitled Job Objective.
However, if you are uncertain about career goals, you may wish
to avoid this statement A summary of educational experience
should comprise the second section and here you may include
your grade point average if it is to your advantage, Cox said.
The third section should cover work experience and the next
section on background is "the umbrella over the whole resume,”
Cox said. This section gives you an opportunity to humanize your
resume with accounts of triumphs in non-school activities and
interests
Cox suggests that before you conclude this personal area
coverage, include a personal section on birthdate. marital status,
a statement of health and other information an employer is
forbidden by law to ask.
The last section is the references section Most advisors prefer
that students keep a file at the Placement Office and refer
employers to this file with a "references furnished upon request’
statement under this section.
Cox suggests students remember that resumes are single page
reports and should be written in phrases instead of complete
sentences Action words should be utilized and use of negative
words should be avoided Be positive and capitalize on your
strengths because this is an advertisement selling you. Cox said
Each student must tailor his resume to his own particular
experiences and to assist in this task, the Placement Center
conducts resume writing sections each quarter in Clarke-Howell
Information on job interviewing and government work may also
be obtained at the center.
