social sensitivity urged for nation's colleges john russell vice provost for student affairs at the university of pennsylvania told a group here this week that universities must become more involved

faculty and administration about recent student demon strations and communication links at the philadelphia university russell said he thought students were on the right track in questioning the racist nature or society and its institutions their turning back to the universities for answers to the problems reflected he said a change in paternalism he said students were probing themselves for answers and beginning their programs for change there instead of in the ghettos what students were doing in responding to the world oat there he said was rejecting the idea of noblesse oblige which he pointed out considered the university a public relations image and a dynasty with a simple in-out social function russell who has taken on the rote of a communications medi ator at penn said the six-day sit-is a iiili-abwi day at nis school showed how a university car decide to use iis money and intelligence in response to grow ing social commitments find its corporate ethic the remarkable thing about the penn case he said wax thai such an understanding was reached between students and administrators by talking the result he said was related to the urban community around penn through an understanding to protect neighboring people from being displaced by perm's expan sion it was also tied to science by an agreement that ti r posed science center near penn would not conduct secret research domestication of man seen society's problem man and his society are in a state of continual evolution and therefore any steps taken toward a domestication of this society by man must be oriented toward this process of change man mast be able to think and plan far enough ahead to determine all tte long ranee results of his actions tms according to dr warner bloomberg of tte university of wisconsin is tte only context under which domestication of our society can be considered and it £ to exactly this contest which tea been ignored thus far in man's development of this earth defining domestication as tte adaption of nature by man to serve his bast advantages bloomberg traced tte evolution of society over " a thousand millen lums in an attempt to show that this adaptation is natural and in herent in man in this evolutionary develop ment he also pointed out how pur thinking and reasoning has gradu ally succumbed to tte prag matism of today according to bloomberg man today meets his problems or what he considers his problems to be one by one without regard to tte overall evolution of society or tte overall problem of existence on this world he blames such shortsighted thinking for such immediate problems as tte midwest dust bowl tte pollution of late erie and the population explosion responding to questions from the audience moomderg cotod give no " cut-and-dried solu tions for these problems because he feels that society is changing too quickly to allow resolution in terms of today's norms without adequate consideration for to morrow's chang ha rmknttnmh total integration of the university into the community as ose of tngjie possible changes be also feels that every living generation from tte oldest to the very young ' est most be allowed to participate la tte domestication decisions according to bloomberg no generation should be allowed to plan society with total disregard for those that have gone before and those who will come after hi said a continunity must be established in man's existence or warner bloomberg law prof examines unreston cam puses by donald palmer thomas karr pittsburgh attorney and professor of law at
