Podlecki Applies Classics To Modern U.S. Problems By MARYANN BUCKNUM Collegian Staff Writer Anthony Podlecki, of the University’s classics depart ment, spoke yesterday in the Hetzel Union Building lounge on “what makes reading clas sical literature an important pastime.” Under the sponsorship of the Liberal Arts student council, the informal discussion cen tered on “The Vitality of the Classics” as represented by the writings of Thucydides, a Greek author of the late sth century B.C. Podlecki explained to a small gathering of students that Thu cydides wrote on the Pelopon-| nesian War, which was fought I for 27 years by the Greek city-j states of Athens and Sparta. He remarked that parallels can be drawn between the pre sent situation of the United States and the Greek dilemma presented by Thucydides in his | works. This idea of history re-.

Podlecki noted that “the Greeks put their finger on cer tain aspects of human nature.” They had reached a perfection of form in most of their liter ary and philosophical endea vors. According to Podlecki, Thu cydides broke through a bar rier in Western civilization up to that time by writing of war in unemotional language, just as a modern historian does. The war was a confrontation between the two great powers of the time. It was a battle CAMPUS AMUSEMENT CENTER Drinks only 10c Nexl to HERLOCHER'S 1968 tne DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK’, PENNSYLVANIA of ideals; the Spartan world believed in a militaristic, al most communistic society, while the Athenian city-state professed to be a pure demo cracy. Podlecki traced the decline of Athens to the moral dis- integration of the society and the decay which set in, dir ectly ascribable . to lack of leadership.” At the outset of the war, the Athenians under Pericles felt that they pos sessed “a unique way of life worth fighting for.” ! Mr. We have corresponded in the past few months about issues within the business community itself such as the training of blue-collar workers in the factory and the profit motive. It seems time to project into the role of business in American society. Previously business seems to have assumed almost solely the role of an employer of “X” workers. However, recently business has made significant strides toward a more active role in the social structure of the locality in which the business operates. Specifically, there hag recently evolved in Detroit the “Nfiw Detroit Committee.” This committee, composed of management from the Detroit Auto Manufacturers, sociologists, and ghetto community leaders, has attempted to provide jobs for previously “unemployable” indr ' important, this committee seeks to ’ people on the job once they are e; The actions of this committee, business community of Detroi extremely commendable but also' necessary in the wake of Detroit riot In five months of existence, the New Detroit Committee has succeeded in placing 43,000 unskilled workers, and 10,000 of thes? were classified as hard-core “unemployables.” There seems'to be much work ahead if a socially conscious and determined business world is to contribute to the structure of the society which it employs.

Mike Ahelson Nell Robb Marc Fisher Chuck Rosen Dave Glussman Dave Rosenberg Joe Goldblum Les Ross Joel Hoffman Jim Schwartz Alan Liftman Mark Schwartzwald Alan Marcus Irv Silverberg Rick Milgrub Bob Singer Rick Sokoloff Dear Miss Caulfield: For many years business has been accused of insularity—aloofness from social problems. And the accusations are not eiitirely without foundation. Recently, however, business has been talcing a new look at itself and at the world around it, and the New Detroit Committee is a good example of the kind of action businessmen are taking to help right some of society's wrongs where unemployables are concerned. No riots have occurred in its area, yet General Telephone of Florida has long operated a program of free courses for Negroes and. Cuban immigrants unable to pass normal hiring tests. Some 85% pass the tests after taking General Tel’s course and are then hired. Lockheed, in California, helps solve the problem of “unemployables” by training and employing those considered'not only uhemployable but also “untrainable.” lusiness Council, composed of over 100 leading corporation mtives who advise the federal government on issues of mcern to businessmen, is active in various projects to help deviate poverty. The Council's chairman, Mobil Oil's Albert L, fickerson, is urging the government to adopt a negative income ix system that would benefit the unemployed and low-income amilies. The system would replace the present Welfare system with its vast bureaucracy and maze of confusing ’egulations. One Council member, Litton Industries’ Board ihairman Charles B. Thornton, is amember of President i ohnson’s Commission on Civil Disorders, and is instrumental in programs designed to provide employment for those unable ifradjobs. 'hoenix, Arizona, where Motdrola is the largest employer, a inessman’s committee has for some time carried on a program ;ooperation with school officials to help combat the school ipout problem through training of student mechanics. auto industry lias, since 1949, operated a nationwide igram to provide mechanical training for school dropouts for mechanically talented youngsters, and at the same time, ip alleviate the shortage of trained mechanics. ively few people outside Philadelphia know about its irtunities Industrialization Center. G. E. contributed money, a iquippedmachine shop, drafting room equipment, and ional specialists to advise on curricula to help and unskilled persons qualifyfor jobs in industry. igo businessmen are definitely hot waiting for disaster to strike :e taking action. Sol Polk, president of the world’s largest retail appliance and furniture business, has issued instructions that Polk's large Chicago facility for repair find reconditioning of trade-in appliances hire only‘‘unemployables." Chicago's business-sponsored project Jobs Now, works to find jobs for youngsters unable to pass normal hiring tests.'Many Chicago industries have loosened hiring standards to provide for hiring untrained WOrkfirs. It is my conviction that the greatest contribution to be made to “unemployables" is to help them riach for a paycheck, not a welfare check, Businessmen are doingmuch more than one normally bears about, but considering the magnitude of the problem, efforts made so far amount to mere drops in the bucket. But more drops are falling and at i faster rate, and hopefully one day all the bucket’s emptiness will he gone. Sincerely, Robert W. Galvin THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8,196!
