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

"We started planning this rally three weeks ago

He attacked the Pentagon's proposed plans for
setting up 300-500 communication centers that
could survive a limited nuclear war, saying "it
would add 300-500 more military targets" to the
world.
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

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

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.

tougher progression and retention standards, and

be a winner ... 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."

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."

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.
