Women, radicals talk to businessmen
Representatives from the student protest movement and the women's liberation group exchanged views with 15 businessmen in the Executive Development Program being held at the University of Kansas June 7-26.
The dialog was fitted to the first week's topic, "Our Changing Urban and Economic Environment."
In its sixteenth year at KU, the Executive Development Program is this year divided into three one-week sessions. Most of the executives, however, have elected to attend all three of the segments.
the faculty for the first week were Richard W. Pollay and Terry L. Dennis of the School of
Survival not enough says conservationist
NEW YORK (UPI)—The prize in the current ecological sweep-stakes is not merely survival—"it is the quality of survival."
According to National Audubon Society President Dr. Elvis J. Stahr Jr., too many ecologists are shouting only that "mankind may not survive 15 years more."
They may be right, Stahr said, "But if you're going to have to live in filth and poison what's the point of surviving? Survival alone is not enough."
"It is vital," Stahr continued, that man "apply his scientific and technological skill to repairing the damage and the filth.
"But it is even more vital that there be an understanding that these things shouldn't have been done in the first place rather than just going ahead and cleaning up after ourselves."
"Man," he continued, "must use his foresight—he should have used it long ago. We can't keep polluting our water and air in the name of progress.
"Mankind will always feel a need for progress—but some say you can't have progress without

dirty water or air. And that raises questions about what is progress
Stahr, president of the 100,000 member conservation group since 1968, said, "This question of ecological survival isn't just a matter of what people would like. Nature doesn't care what people would like. She's going to exact a price for all the damage we do to her—and that price may be far higher than some of the sacrifices man now seems willing to make."
The second session, "Accounting for Management Decisions," was this week. Instructors are Glenn L. Johnson, Lawrence A. Sherrr, and John O. Tollefson, all of the School of Business. This section features the use of a time computer to aid in the financial decision making. The goal is to make the distinction between relevant and irrelevant accounting data.
Stahr, a noted educator and former secretary of the Army in the John F. Kennedy administration, says the Audubon Society's biggest role in the conservation ecology field is "environmental education."
"You must have education and you must have conservation," he said. "Through education we must change defensive action into affirmative actions. And by conservation, we must try to stop the current damage and save that which is threatened. Otherwise by the time we educate people there won't be any heritage for the education generation."
Long-range planning, vital even for smaller companies, will be the topic for the final week. Leaders will be business school faculty members Dennis, Jack E. Gaumnitz, and David P. Gustafson. Topics will be corporate strategy, manpower planning, financial planning and general planning techniques.
