Arms race protc By PAULA WETHINGTON Staff writer About 60 people attended a Fight The Arms Race rally on the Horseshoe Friday, coinciding with Vice President George Bush's appearance at the Western Alliance Conference in Russell House. The USC Alliance for Peace sponsored the rally, which ran from noon to 1 p.m. and featured speakers and musical selections. The central topic was the nuclear arms race, and * U muse in aaenaance were asked to sign a nuclear freeze petition to be forwarded to Mikhail Gorbachev, general secretary of the Soviet Union, and President Reagan at the Geneva summit in November.

"We started planning this rally three weeks ago when it was announced Bush would be here," said Mendelsohn. "The whole purpose of the rally is to educate people about the arms race."

Palmer, who spoke second, is writing a thesis on the Strategic Defense Initiative plan, commonly known as "Star Wars." With a projected 90-95 percent effectiveness, he said Star Wars would increase chances for a nuclear war. "A change in attitudes, not in technology, offers the only chance for peace we have," he said. The next speaker, Prestby, a graduate assistant in the psychology department, spoke about the ethics of nuclear war. "Our thinking is rather flawed. We either deny these realities (of nuclear war) or we distort them. The term 'arms race' implies there'll Carrington. Continued from page cur. And third, to do everything that we safely can to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world." NATO and the Western world must "convince Mr. Gorbachev" that it is ready to necotiate- srror. ding to Lord Carrington. "But we have to convince him also that we will not be pressured or bounced into doing business on terms which do not respect our own security." Gorbachev will have to learn that "there is no alternative to working with Western governments across the negotiating table," Lord Carrington said. Referring to impending Geneva negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union, Lord Bush. Continued from page 1. "But on balance, what will determine progress or lack of progress is how much each side really, truly wants arms reductions and the reduced tensions that would go with bilateral agreements. "We want it to succeed not simply in American terms, but in terms of the hopes of all the people of the free world," Bush said. "We should seriously analyze, of course, the Soviet proposals in the privacy of the negotiating chambers. We should not disclose the details of each other's proposals. Tough negotiating is made even tougher if each side goes public every time one negotiator or the other makes a move." The U.S. government needs to follow this suggestion, because it also is guilty of leaking proposals, Bush said. American negotiators should ask themselves tough questions about Soviet proposals, Bush said. "Will the West be permitted to continue looking for a way to make the world safe from the threat of nuclear weapons, or will that search be stopped while the Soviets, with the world's only deployed missile defense system, continue their own massive Sk J . S Academic standards u From staff reports Columbia campus enrollment is down and system enrollment is up, reflecting a national trend of decreased attendance in larger, more popular public universities. Deborah Haynes, acting director of admissions at the Columbia campus explains the decreased attendance is a result of the phasing out of two year programs, a decline in the number of students auditing classes and the new stricter academic suspension policies. "By contrast, FTE undergraduate enrollment is up 2.2 percent, which is a hcalty sign," she said. FTE reflects the number of credit hours for which students register and is a key factor in determining state appropriations for higher education under formula funding.

I don't know who the winner is." Pearson compared the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union to the Peloponnesian War between the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta. He noted that at the end of the war, Athens had given up its philosophies that were different from Sparta, and yet Sparta eventually won. Comparing this to today, he said, "when you adopt an arms race, you have to abandon ethics. (You have) to be willing to launch a first strike ... and hit civilian targets." ? The final speaker, Hamann, encouraged the audience to "be prepared to speak out (because) nuclear war threatens us all." As for the petitions that the Alliance was asking people to sign, she said "we need to send a message to George Bush, Ronald Reagan and the whole world." 1. Carrington said, "It will be a busy autumn." America has the support of NATO, according to Lord Carrington. "The American objective, which has been clearly stated and is strongly supported by your allies, is to secure major reductions in offen- ^ sive weapons. And we won't go far wrong if that Q. objective remains ? and is seen to remain ? the basis of our approach." Lord Carrington said the Western Community is a model for the world. "I have no doubt that those with the freedom to choose will look to the Western rather than the Soviet model for the answers to the problems of tomorrow." i research program?" Bush asked. Bush said negotiators cannot seriously consider talk of a "European Zone" as a separate issue when the Soviets posess a system of highly mobile medium range missiles, the SS-20s, that "can easily be moved back and forth from the European part of the Soviet Union to the Asian part, depending on which of our allies and friends they wish to threaten at the moment." In his opening remarks. Bush said USC has reached a high level of respect among universities across the country in the study of international m affairs. "If this keeps up, America may have right here its own equivalent of Vienna or Geneva, right here in Columbia," he said. "So let us hear something concrete, let us hear it in Geneva, and let us see if they really are serious about reducing this threat to the democracies." This was not the first time Bush has visited the University of South Carolina. As a candidate in iyau and 1984, he visited the city and the campus. C p, enrollment down the phasing out of two-year programs, we are getting and retaining more serious and more academically qualified students," Haynes said."It's tougher to get into USC and tougher to stay in." On the national scene, the enrollment caps and tougher admission requirements are working just as slowly. Bert Ockerman, of the American Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers, says the plans are not doomed to failure, but are Q| certainly less than successful. "The more you put caps and requirements on enrollment, the more anxious students are to go to these institutions." Kentucky and Colorado officials whose new admission ceilings just went into effect say they are not sure whether students rejected from the top state universities are opting for smaller, less noted colleges. Washington, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Nebraska and other states plan higher requirements or limits by 1989.
