All too often that administrative power has favored technocrats. No collection of technocrats (no matter how well balanced as to content-focus) can serve as the faculty of an effective liberal arts college helping real students through their developmental stages to a helpful adult life. Technocrats may, however, through personal violence train additional technocrats to maintain our technocratic society. Through the operation of that feed- back loop we make progress in the intensification of our technocratic society with its improved techniques and exponential growth curves of goods, wastes, and pollution; and the corresponding decline in quality of life and meeting. It is not possible through the techniques of rules, regulations, and curriculum to escape the enslavement of the state of consciousness of technocrats. So long as technocrats hold the balance of power in academia, so long will the education of the leaders of tomorrow be dominated by the technocratic state of consciousness. Those leaders who were trained by technocrats will consult technocrats for advice and select from among only technical solutions. The pattern may be seen in man inner cities, in our transportation non-system, in the military-industrial conglomerate, in Vietnam, and in "Watergate" with all that it suggests. An element in the way out of this vicious cycle is for college administrators to cooperate with real students in the articulation of the job descriptions for science faculty openings. Then the students, faculty, and administrators interviewing applicants could be asked to help by evaluating candidates only in terms of the explicit job description. In this way it may be possible to bring into academia attractive scientists who have the power to lead the way out of our technocratic society. Such attractive scientists will continue in academia only if there are corresponding changes in practices pertaining to promotion and tenure. The basic issues pertain to ensymbolment vs incarnation.
