Robert Theobold proposed a
“negative income tax” and a
guaranteed annual income to put
an end to America's poverty, in
Ins Poverty Conference speech
1'r.d. y
ll<’ also *-sailed views of the
three other Povcrt; Conference
.* penkers.
Theobald criticized Robert
l.ainpman’s remarks because, lie
said, the income of the poor
was not being sulistantially in
creased, as l.ampman had said
Remarks Attacked
Arthur i’earl’s remarks also
fell under attack, as Theobald
criticised Pearl’s desire to Ret
more poor people trained in hu
man service careers
"Pearl grossly underestimates
the shift in human attitudes
which is going to be required
when we get the poor to take
up service careers,” Theobald
said
Pearl had advocated, as did
Theobald, the use of many pres
ently unemployed people in areas
of service to other people, such
as social work.
"On the whole, people do not
like to do things to or for other
human beings,” he explained
Must Have Income
The guaranteed income is there
fore a pre condition for getting
people to take up such careers.
Theobald also shot a few barbs
at Saul Minsky's Thursday re
marks.
Though he agreed with Alin
sk>'s statement that the poverty
program was not accomplishing
its purpose, the speaker said he
did not go along with Alinsky's
opinion that conflict is inevitable,
either on a world scale or in try
ing to conquer |«nerty.
The prime technique of con
diet today is the distortion of in
formation . . in short, lies, lie
said
Much of today's news is dis
torted into what will manipulate
public opinion in the way the
government wants it manipulated,
lie claimed.
“The question is really not the
ending of poverty— it is how to
build a decent society in an auto
mated, not natural, environment,"
Theobald said.
Four basic groups must bo at
tended to in this struggle against
poverty and increasing cyberna
tion, according to Theobald.
• The young must he put into
an education system which does
not try to make them “cogs in a
wheel" or carbon copies.” as the
present system tends to do.
• College students must be
freed from a system, such as the
present one, where “the present
.process of education in univer
sities is to get’em in and get’em
out."
“The university which makes
people take five courses in a se
mester is an anachronism,” he
said, because the students haven’t
enough time to really learn. They

• The group of people whe
want to toil for eight hours a day
must find other things to do, sc
that they will not feel that they
are wasting their lives by no1

• "We must realize that there

defeated,” he gave as the fourth
group, ‘ and they should be help

"This program will lead to a
society that is so much better
than our own that we can't even
talk rationally about it,” Theo

Let's talk about a career at Boeing...
50-year leader in aerospace technology
Campus Interviews, Tuesday, February 15
The most effective way to evaluate a com
pany in terms of its potential for dynamic
career growth is to examine its past rec
ord, its current status, and its prospects
and planning for the future, together with
the professional climate it offers for the
development of your individual capabilities.
Boeing, which in 1966 completes 50 years
of unmatched aircraft innovation and pro
duction, offers you career opportunities as
diverse as its extensive and varied back
log. Whether your interests lie in the field
of commercial jet airliners of the future or
in space-flight technology, you can find at
Boeing an opening which combines profes
sional challenge and long-range stability.
The men of Boeing are today pioneering
evolutionary advances in both civilian and
military aircraft, as well as in space pro
grams of such historic importance as
America's first moon landing. Missiles,
space vehicles, gas turbine engines, trans
port helicopters, marine vehicles and basic
research are other areas of Boeing activity.
There's a spot where your talents can
mature and grow at Boeing, in research,
design, test, manufacturing or administra
tion. The company's position as world
leader in jet transportation provides a
measure of the calibre of people with
whom you would work. In addition, Boeing
people work in small groups, where initia
tive and ability get maximum exposure.
Boeing encourages participation in the
company-paid Graduate Study Program at
leading colleges and universities near
company installations.
We’re looking forward to meeting engi
neering, mathematics and science seniors
and graduate students during our visit to
your campus. Make an appointment now
at your placement office. Boeing is an
equal opportunity employer.
