Point of view

I welcome the opportunity to address the members of the Computer Society in COMPUTER — particularly since I was not given the opportunity to do this in SPECTRUM. When I learned that the Regional Directors had been asked to make a statement on the referendum in the September issue of SPECTRUM I felt that the cards were being stacked somewhat by the anti-referendum forces. Therefore, I requested space for a message as the Director of Division 5 but was told that it was past the deadline — despite the fact that statements were still being accepted from Regional Directors.
