965 I came to otre Dame convinced in conser­ vatism and fervently supporting U.S. actions in Vietnam. At that time I felt we were stopping Communism and promoting the free­ dom and self-determination of a small nation. I believed we were unleashing our power, at last pursuing a policy which would bring us victory. Better than two years have passed. As I read stories of the latest Viet Cong offensive intermingled with the same absurd Administra­ tion predictions of triumph I cannot help but reflect on the inac­ curacy of the position to which I once adhered. Like every other American who wholeheartedly supported the war, I allowed my­ selfto be deceived, deceived as to U.S. objectives and deceived as to ' the effectiveness of the application of U.S. power. A simple observation of any newspaper today shows the quan­ dry of the . We are, first of all, overcommitted. As Russia moves into the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Alliance dis­ integrates, the United States pours its forces into a small country in Southeast Asia. At the same time, it applies those forces in such a manner as to scatter them and allow a small and relatively back- ward nation to inflict devastating defeats upon us and maintajn control of large areas of South Vietnam. Thus America finds her­ self hamstrung internationally and desperately spread out and un­ able to concentrate in the region she -has sent her forces. Thus strategically the war has had a devastating effect. Overcommitment is not simply a matter of deployment. It is a matter of emphasis. As our cities explode we spend two billion dollars a year on a poverty program, two billion which is cut back and nearly strangled. Meanwhile, we spend a ballooning $29 billion on a limited war 8,000 miles from our own shores. With the money we spend on Vietnam, it costs an average of $250,000 to kill every Viet Cong soldier. At the same time, the Neighborhood Study Help Program in South Bend cannot even get a yearly grant of $80,000 renewed. The war has damaged our priorities. There is one more question, a moral one. We are waging a war of attrition in Vietnam. The Administration admits this. Yet, the enemy continues to pour in men and materials. Our strategy has failed, yet one thing is clear from viewing the ruins of Saigon and Hue after the latest battles. We are wearing down the people of Vietnam. There are already il million and a half refugees in Viet­ nam, more than 1U% of the people we are supposed to be saving. We bomb cities with napalm. Perhaps the Administration's intentions are best revealed in the comment of a U.S. officer looking over a rui.ned Delta village: "We had to destroy this village in order to save it." I look over all of the things I have cited, plus the plummeting prestige of my country, and feel that I was in error. My feelings are stren_gthened as the Fulbright hearings reveal what really went on in the Gulf of Tonkin, as I read of the increasing militancy of the Administration and determination to escalate, even to me pmnt of tactical nuclear weapons, when escalation has failed. The Viet­ nam War is hurting this nation and wounding its spirit. What should be done? What can we do? These are most com­ plex questions. I do not pretend to have answers to them.

"I wanted to work for a small company. It may sound crazy, but that's why I went with IBM!' "When I was in school, I dreaded the thought of working for some huge company where I'd be just another number," says IBM's Jim Hamil­ ton. (Jim, who has a B.S. in. Electrical Engineering, is a Systems Engineering Manager in Marketing.) "At the same time, I knew there were definite ad­ vantages in working for a large firm. So as I inter\'icwed each company, I checked into the degree of indi\'iduality I could expect there...... "One of the main reasons I picked IBM was their decentral­ ization. They've got over 300 locations throughout the country. Which to me, means a big company with a small-company atmosp here. IBM's small team concept "Actually, there's plenty of decentralization e\'en within each location. For instance, in science and engineering, they use a small team concept. It means, no matter how large the project, you work individually or as part of a small team-about four or five people. "In marketing, I was pretty much my own boss even before I became a manager. As a systems engineer, it's up tu you to find the solution to a customer's problem, and then see it's carried out in the optimum way. You work with the customer every step of the w,ay."

Sanders' sales jumped last year from 66 to over 139 million dollars. The growth came from within, from sales of new systems, programs, and equipment we designed and developed.

Behind this success story are 150 interdisciplinary teams, working on electronic, space, oceanographic, and basic research problems. You never stop learning, at work with men from other fields, at in-plant seminars and courses, at nearby universities. No technological obsolescence.
