presented slides and spoke of "The Castro Connection" at the
Russell House Wednesday night.
James' presentation, sponsored by Ideas & Issues, focused
on Castro's Cuba and American feeling and policy toward
Cuba.
James argued for a restructuring of American attitudes
toward the island nation. The U.S. should recognize Castro's
right to exist and reopen trade and travel between the two
countries, he said.
Castro has reformed Cuba for the better, James has decided
after three visits., he said.
A small but attenive audience listened as James called for

where Cuba is widening its influence.
"Be on the side of the people" he told the group. "We have
failed to learn the most important lesson of Vietnam ? it is
not the quality of weapons but the quality of government that
matters most to the people," James said.
An author of two books criticizing U.S. defense and foreign
policy, James criticized President Ronald Reagan for continuing
the nuclear arms race with Russia.
If the U.S. made nuclear competition into economic competition,
the Soviets couldn't win, he said. James also argued
that Reagan should bring together sanctions against the Soviet

on the KAL jet proved the Soviets are barbaric and
"can't be trusted," James said.
The president has a golden opportunity to isolate the Russians
from the rest of the world and bring countries like Cuba
back into the U.S. sphere of influence, James said.
"NATO is falling apart;" the U.S. needs to look to its own
hemisphere and cultivate friendships in Central and South
America, not by supporting brutal regimes but by offering
economic aid with no strings attached, James said.
Orators committee invites
wide range of speakers
From Staff Reports
Frcfm spies to sex therapists, Ideas&lssuestries to bring informative
and interesting programs to USC, according to the
committee chairman.
I&I, whose efforts brought activist Abbie Hoffman and
the Rockology program to USC last year presented spy Peter
James Wednesday night.
Peter Asp, I&I chairman, is optimistic about future programs
and speakers. His committee has scheduled former profootball-linebacker
Bill Bergey to speak Oct. 5, followed by
sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer on Nov. 2.
Westheimer, who has a popular New York radio show call
ea "sexually speaking," will also autograph copies of her new
book, Aps said.
I&I has invited USC professors to give a series of "sandwich
seminars" on various topics throughout the year as well, Asp
said.
A four-member committee meets Wednesday nights to
decide which speakers and programs to sponsor. Asp would
like to see the committee expand to 10 members and urged interested
students to apply.
"It's a challenge to find a speaker who will appeal to all
students," Asp said. "We like speakers to be fun and
informative."
The committee chooses a speaker and then submits the
choice to the university for approval.
The university wasn't enthusiastic about inviting Abbie

said.
The committee's budget of $12,000 is supported by student
activities fees. Speakers' fees average $3,000, and he
negotiates with the speaker's agent regarding food, transportation
and lodging expenses, Asp said.
