Church panel agrees nuclear
arms limitation prospects dim
By David Steinmetz *
Of th« Emerald
The prospects for limiting nuclear arms
are not good, according to Charles Schleicher,
University political science professor.
Schleicher and three other University pro
fessors addressed international efforts at arms
control during a panel discussion Saturday at
the First Congregational Church.
After briefly outlining the history of disar
mament efforts, Schleicher concluded that
future efforts have little chance of success.
‘‘The whole history is not one that would
give great confidence to the question: ‘Is arms
control viable?’ ”
The United Nations charter assumes arms
are necessary for security and seems to be
“more concerned with saving money than
limiting arms,” Schleicher said.
Although the United Nations is supposed
to prevent outbreaks with a collective security
system, it has been ineffective, according to
Schleicher.
“I don’t think anyone has ever been deter
red because he thought he would be bitten by
the U.N.”
As long as the current sovereign state
system continues, states must maintain arms
to compete for power, he said.
“States seek a preponderance of power,
not a balance of power, because they feel
secure only with a preponderance of power,”
Schleicher said.
In fact, it may be equally dangerous to
abolish all nuclear arms as to continue building
them because states could still produce and be
the sole possessor of them, he said.
Arthur Hanhardt, political science pro
fessor, discussed the Third World’s penchant
for nuclear arms.
They perceive that benefits, such as im
proved world status and pre-eminience among
Third World states, can be attained by possess
ing nuclear arms, he said.
Nations see nuclear arms as a deterrent
against attacks and as a way to reap social,
psychological or religious benefits, Hanhardt
said.
Third World nations also may believe
nuclear arms possession is a tool in achieving
internal political goals since their possession
makes “nationalistic hearts beat a little
higher,” he said.
Since Third World nations often do see
nuclear arms as an asset, and their develop
ment is not very difficult, Hanhardt said a par
tial solution would be to put better controls on
the export of nuclear-related technology.
IFC continues cutting funds
By Richard Burr

The Incidental Fee Committee continued
its trend of cutting the Forensics program dur
ing Friday budget hearings.
The IFC allocated the speech squad
$3,642, a 32 percent decrease from this year’s
$5,344 budget. The committee last year cut the
program's budget 42 percent from $9,177
because of resolutions prohibiting the funding
of food and lodging.
Travel expenses were the sole area cut.
The committee approved $3,243, a 35 percent
decrease from this year’s $5,000 allocation and
less than the ASUO Executive’s recommenda
tion for $4,230.
Club sports do not receive as much fun
ding for travel as Forensics, said committee
member Bart Hill. Club sports members pay
much of their expenses from personal funds,
added Jeff Nudelman, IFC vice chairer.
Forensics always is going to be requesting
more money because of inflation, ana “we
don't have that kind of money," Kill said.
The committee also cut the Undergraduate
Economics Association budget to $190, a 49
percent cut from this year's $371 budget.
The ASUO Executive decided to recom
mend $150 for speakers instead of funding a
telephone.
The group has not sponsored a speaker
this year that it had to pay, program Director
Jacquelyn Faludi said. But the money could be
used to attract higher quality speakers, pro
gram member Dan Cohen said.
The IFC did not vote on funding speakers.
The IFC was more generous to the Muslim
Student Association, approving a 53 percent in
crease from this year’s $900 budget. The group
was allocated $1,375, which was allotted for
new items such as a telephone and art and
book exhibits.
The committee also approved an increase
for the YWCA, which sponsors an Exceptional
Friendship program that recruits student
volunteers to visit disabled youths. The pro
gram was allocated $2,947, a 4.7 percent in
crease from this year’s $2,815 budget.
Telephone expenses caused the increase.
The committee also approved $3,879 for
the Tool Library, a decrease from this year’s
$4,075 budget.
