THE DUKE fVISITS uivlAss BosroN On the afternoon following Convocation, Governor Michael S. Dukakis presented his Policy Address on The Economy of The Commonwealth before a ca- pacity crowd in the Lipke Science Auditorium. Opening the program were Chancellor Robert A. Corrigan and President David C. Knapp, making the welcome and introductory speeches respectively. l l l l l l A T The Governor's Address centered around the Mass Mlracle and future plans that would lead to econom- l lc success for all in the Bay State. Massachusetts was T pointed out as having the lowest unemployment rate ln the country as well as an increased growth of new T businesses and in personal income. Dukakis ticked off 2 the issues the Legislature is currently working on: a l strong, effective transportation system, down-town re vltallzation of cities and towns, and the modernization j of Older industries with The Cid of high tech. l l In fact, the high tech industry was the main focus of the Governor's speech. He discussed the things being done in order to promote business growth in the high tech industry, and marketing concepts to promote the State's products. He stressed the need for skilled workers in the high tech industry, and the possibility of drawing from educational resources for such workers. Wlll the current economic boom last? Yes, according to the Governor, barring some catastro phe , with teamwork and innovation. SX A.. All in all, it was a concise speech from an economic standpoint, but otherwise Boot for the Governor. The absolute lack of reference to the UMassfBoston community surely didn't get him any votes from those who were present. It remains to be seen whether the University will see any of the S540 million budget surplus that the Governor spoke ot.
