Games Aid Geographers
By TRISH BAILEY
Korean Staff Writer
One way to eliminate deceit and dishonesty in any relationship is to have a professional side, Barry Wellar, assistant professor of geography, said.
Wearl uses the game theory in his class in urban geography to promote better understanding between parties.
"The game theory is essentially that of role-playing." Wellar said. "The student is assigned a role, such as state engineer, city engineer or private contractor, then given a problem to solve."
A sample problem might be the flow of traffic on 23rd Street. Every time a new building is built, it disrupts the flow of traffic and disrupted people have to

WELLAR SAID that in his class each side would present his complaints and solutions and the players would switch roles.
"The men of tomorrow," Toffer said, "will live faster." "Future Shock," he explained, "is what happens to ordinary people in a world whelmed by change, by the premature arrival of the future."
Toffler has focused both popular and professional attention on the physical and mental aspects of teaching a subjecting man to too much change in too little time. He is now working on another book that covers colleges can be changed to meet demands for better education.
"The student must then rationalize his actions in his previous role and he must also understand his present role," said Wailer.
The object of the game was to do the best you could for your particular interest. But the end result was that you realize that you were competing with other students and that the public good, Wellar said.
"Usually, you only make a profit at someone else's expense." said Wellar.
Wellar said the business school also used the game theory to teach organization. Games are also used in education to help the learner play.
"Students are not so biased as to be dishonest," according to Wollar. "They usually don't have their own vested interest."
THE GAMES are similar to sensitivity training. They make it easier for people to understand and empathize with the opposition.
"It's easy to bring games into teaching, but much harder to get them into research." Wellar said

Project Equality (P.E.), which is an attempt to bridge the gap between preaching and practice or employment portfolios, must establish itself in Lawrence. The organization has been at work in the country for six years, chiefly with the local church churches and student groups.
One of the rationalizations for naughty is the familiar attitude that "you can't do anything," he said. Project Equality not only gave small groups leverage against positions of unassailable power in the university.
Rev. Maurice Culver, who has been associated with P.E. since its inception in Kansas City, Missouri, taught a program in a recent interview.

which commits itself to the PE program is listed on a Buyer's Guide, which in turn is sent to individual subscribers across the network and is urged to patronize the companies which have met PE standards in the hiring, training and administration of minority group personnel.

More than 17,141 people viewed the NASA Moon Rock Exhibit during the two months of a lunar visit. The samples were highlighted, the exhibit also featured the moon as a subject of scientific exploration, as a source of folklore and a form of artistic expression.

to the program. Project Equality offices in Wichita, St. Louis and Kansas City are sharing a budget of $3,000 dollars in 1971.
The program is put into operation through a series of interrelated steps which are much the same company, but also at providing the technical assistance to put an equal employment opportunity.
"WE ANTICIPATE the fact that personnel managers don't have the training to open the doors to racial equality. We help men to find a realistic personnel that will get results," we said.
In the first step, participating churches ask their congregations and related institutions for support in organizing schools, etc.) to make a commitment to the same employment standards which are being requested of business firms. Participating institutions are also urged to use the P.E. Buyer's Guide in order that they will send their money.
Despite cases like these, Culver said that most organizations were willing to cooperate, but still needed an efficient program into effect.
EACH INSTITUTION files its commitment with the local P.E. office. At that time materials are provided with which the institution can notify their suppliers of their participation in the job; and the addition of equal employment as a product specification.
One company which is openly thankful to Project Equality is the Xerox corporation, which has set up a positive step in minority hiring.
When the institution pays its bills or places orders, it asks its suppliers to join P.E. According to U.S. government regulations related organizations are second only to the U.S. government in annual spending. He stated that this buying power is usually used to investigate Project Equality.

In committing itself to the P.E. program, a committee participates in the agency's 'employment Analysis Reviews,' which are conducted by the employer.
Culver, who is director of the Kansas City Project Equality office, explained that the purpose of news is not to criticize, but to help
Culver is quick to explain that this is an extreme case, but adds that "with some people you have their backs to get them o move."
"What it amounts to is a free management consultant service," he said, "and at our expense."
THE REVIEWS are a feature of the university, apart from mandatory government programs. In comparing a government and private employer, the governor stated: "The government told us to do it; Project Equality told us how to do it."
Vichita finally subscribed when aced with the alternative of osing the $200,000 Catholic charities account, Culver, said.
Culver said he found that most of the businesses he reviewed were not consciously engaged in segregation, but were operating in a way which was insensitive to their needs. He initiated minority group personnel.
Cultiver singled out the lack of a infinite written policy concerned with the opportunity as one of the biggest problems in companies today. He stressed that a formal policy should be developed and adhered to in order that employees and prospective employees were made aware of the company's policies.
THE P.E. REVIEW also examines the hiring, placement and promotion procedures of the company. Reviewers often found themselves in a minority group hold little possibility for advancement, he

CULVER SAYS that Project Equality is growing, and that now more people are understanding what it is doing.
"We're beginning to bridge the gap between individuals and minorities," he said.
He views the system as a "power expression"—one which must be offset by equal power if it is to be changed.
The power lies with groups and individuals who are willing to commit their economic power to influence the system.

Sue Gauen, Evanston I senior, and Jean Stevenson, II junior, organized small groups of students who plan to bring business to their businesses. Though both groups are in the infant stages of development, their leaders said they were confident and enthused.
Miss Stevenson, whose group is now composed of a handful of Ellsworth Hall residents, plans to work on the project over the summer and will teach students enrolled in the summer session. The group is also distributing P.E. Buyer's Guides throughout Ellsworth in hopes that institutional support can be milted in implementing the program.
