Computer Role Discussed At University Assembly Bv ALLEN BAILEY Assistant News Editor “Men and Systems as Proces sors of Fallible Information” wa;. the topic of a lecture given at a University Assembly Tuesday night by Ward Edwards, director of the Engineering Psychology Laboratory at the University of Michigan. The lecture covered recent de velopments in “man machine sy» teins for diagnostic problems." A diagnostic problem would be sim ilar to that encountered by a doc tor, who must first decide what a patient's illness is. then pre scribe a remedy or cure High-level military decision , making is the primary area of Ed ward’s work at present, and he described a new process by which military leaders may arrive at their decisions, The system would consist of gathering all possible informa tion on a major decision to be made, then breaking the problem down into smaller decisions. The decisions reached on the smaller problems would then he given an official who would de cide, on the basis of the answers to the smaller problems, what the major decision should be.

Robert Kingsbury, director of Wesley Foundation, has joined the rapidly growing list of sponsors of the all night protest against war in Viet Nam which is planned for April 23. A total of 101 faculty and staff members have added their names to the list of sponsors. Steve Goldschmidt, candidate for ASl’O President, is one of the many students who has re cently added their support to the all night protest Student spon sorship includes 15<i students, a largo percentage of whom are graduate students and teaching assistants.

At least, the computers would figure out the probabilities of a decision’s being right. To illustrate the effectiveness of this type of decision making, Edwards cited a California court case in which two people had been accused of a crime; however, the evidence against them was only circumstantial The evidence was then broken down into small problems and the probability of each was cal culated. After that, they were all put together and the probability against the circumstances being merely a coincidence, was calcu lated It was 12 million to 1, and the couple was convicted of the crime by the jury.
