Kraus Says Social Crises Are AWARE's Concern By KITTY McCASKILL Staff Writer "AWARE is made up of students concerned with certain social crises in the U. S. and in the world," according to ad viser, Dr. Jon Kraus Kraus, in his second year in Carolina's international studies department, is a specialist in African politics. This fall AWARE asked him to be their adviser. "They're a fairly laudable student group. They feel they're basically trying to fulfill America's ideals," he said. "The demands of various student groups for changes are contagious. Some of these are kinds of demands it's very difficult for an academic institution to accommodate," Kraus continued. "An institution like the University with vested interests is bulky and tends to move very slowly. This makes young people who don't have vested interests impatient. "Of course because first these students are young and second because they haven't had to make compromises, they find the compromises older people have to make hypo critical," he said. Concerning the letter which the administration asked AWARE to write stating its intentions to follow regulations, Kraus said, "The leaders had said they would go by the regulations of the students affairs committee. "The main problem with AVARE on campus is that they've been outspoken that certain regulations weren't necessary. But it's one thing to challenge regulations and another to avoid them," he said. According to Kraus, "The ground rules of democratic be havior are useful and a good thing in themselves. The prob lem as students see it is that these ground rules are rarely implemental on the University. "The problem of student organizations is how to stimu late others and draw them int:) student participation and i,ot use means which will get them opprcssed," he said. WOMEN ... GOLD AND FIGHTING!

"Given Chinese ambitions and super-power pretentions, it is un likely that we can look forward to anything other than a con tinuing state of unholy deadlock in our relations with a country which still pretends it is the center of the world," he said.

Their contempt for the West is limit less and is equalled only by their ignorance of the outside world. "Our policy over tne 19-year period of existence of the Chin ese Peo; le's Republic. though obviously not designed in heaven, has nevertheleis been successful," Walker said in a past lecture. "We have, displayed a growing understanding in our policies for an area of the world for which we had little preparation," he said. "Today the weakness of main land China, despite its atomic capability, is apparent as never before. The country is rent and torn by factionalism approaching civil war proportions; the intellec tual community is utter disarray, and the educational system frag mented; in world affairs the Chinese are isolated and at odds with their fellow communists," he said. "The Mao regime has failed to produce a meaningful answer to the question of China's role in world affairs. China's weakness and disarray are unlikely to be overcome in the near future. "Contrary to what the all too frequent critics of U. S. policy in the Far East have asserted, America has played a constructive and balanced role in dealing wi.h China both as a major power in the Far East and as an area of weakness," Walker said. "All too frequently our delu sions of the power of China and our fixations about its self-im posed isolation has caused us to overlook developments which may be far more important in the long run," he said.
