Thinking
By LISA DOHNER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The United States is making it very
easy for countries to buy arms, a
member of the Coalition for a New
Foreign and Military Policy said
yesterday.
Arms manufacturers are "pushing
them, bribing them to buy," Erica
Foldey said. She spoke as part of the
'Thinking About War?" program
yesterday in the HUB. She said the
United States' arms exports have risen
tts percent from 1978 to 1980.
Since the invasion of Afghanistan,
Foldey she said, President Carter has
,:tilled for a restriction on arms. But the
nvasion has sent arms sales
skyrocketing, she said. "We're arming
India because they're upset that we're
arming Pakistan "
Foldey was featured from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m. in a discussion on human rights.
She spoke after a showing of a 1978 ABC
documentary, "The Politics of Torture."
The documentary showed citizens
imprisoned without trial, police
brutalities and torture victims ex
reme human rights violations practiced
in the last decade in the Phillippines,
Chile and Iran. The documentary also'
showed how the United States supported
hese governments through military and
economic aid.
The documentary depicted Carter in
December 1978, introducing the shah of
Iran and his wife to a crowd on the White
!louse Lawn as "longtime friends of our
country," while feuding anti-shah and
pro-shah demonstrators were being tear
gassed less than a block away.
The film also showed Carter in
December 1978, saying that "human
rights is the soul of our foreign
policy."Foldey then gave an update on
'z the film. In 1973, she said, Congress
f : passed a bill which denied foreign and
military aid to nations who "grossly
• violated" human rights.
Foldey said that since the restrictions
were imposed, the United States has
•
continued to support such countries. The
United States has used national security

. sales provide as the arguments for its

Atomic arms called world threat
By SCOTT HILEMAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The greatest task facing the United
States today is scaling down the threat of
a nuclear war, a U.S. delegate to the
United Nations Committee on Ar
maments said yesterday.
Betty Lall, speaking as part of the
"Thinking About War?" program in the
HUB, said the world faces an uncertain
future if the United States attempts to
match the Soviet Union arms for arms.
Lall said the United States should

"We need to talk and negotiate with

reduce the arms race, the United States
stop the production and testing of

"The United States sets the

said. "We don't have to race along as

Lall said the United States must take
additional measures to strengthen its
present security. This would involve
three steps, she said.
Initially, Lall proposed, the United
States should negotiate a non
intervention treaty with the Soviets that
would prohibit a state from using armed
forces to protect the government of a
sympathetic ally.
"This would eliminate situations such

Panel discusses views of draft
By DAWN BEEN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A representative from the Coalition
For a New Foreign and Military Policy
spoke out yesterday afternoon against
draft registration and the draft.
"There's never been a registration
without a draft," said Thomas Lehman,
"and there's never been a draft without
a war."
Lehman was on a four-member panel
which discussed aspects of the draft as
part of "Thinking About War?," an
eight-hour presentation in the HUB
Lounge
"The draft is unnecessary," Lehman
said. "We have our largest military and
military budget ever, and more peace
time forces all over the world than ever
before."
Lehman said President Carter wants
to register 19- and 20-year-olds because
they are the most easily trained for war,
don't have families or political clout and
are too young to remember Vietnam.
Lehman also said that instead of
reinstating the draft, President Carter
should consider making volunteer
service more attractive by bringing pay
and allowances up to minimum wage.
"If you're against the draft," Lehman
said, "get in touch with Congress. This
is an election year: We don't have to sit
back and take this."
The opposite side of the issue was
taken by panelist Robert O'Connor,
asssociate professor of political science.

said.
Lall also talked about the economic
implications of arms production,
denying the suggestion that high-leyel
arms production is necessary foi-•' a
stable economy.
Lall also spoke briefly on the Salt II
treaty. She described Carter's decision
not to push .the treaty as a "dreaded
mistake." The positive effects of the
treaty would outweigh the negative ours,
she said.
"We need a large army," O'Connor
said. "But all volunteer has

O'Connor said the United States needs

being the severely handicapped.
"I want to be sure the sons and the
daughters of our Rilitary elite are also

simple justice and the responsibility of
an individual to America."
Zena Beth McGlashan, assistant
professor of journalism, gave her
opinion on women and the draft.
"Both men and women should be
subject to the draft," McGlashan said,
"or women will once again be the
second-class system. The capacitylis
there and the necessity to maintain
equity."
The fourth panel member was
Reverend Robert Boyer from the United
Ministry at Penn State. Boyer discussed
a list of 13. alternative responses to the
draft.
The list included such suggestions as
cooperation with the Selective Service
and joining Reserve Officers Training
Corps to become an military officer.
Alternatives range from failing the
physical to going to prison, Boyer said. •

Professor knocks nuclear policy
By STEVE HOLBROOK
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Because of the Carter ad
ministration's present international
policy, the probability that the nor
theastern United States will be
destroyed by an atomic war within 20
years is 1 million times greater than that
a pf a nuclear reactor meltdown occuring,
a University professor said yesterday
during a debate in the HUB lounge.
"The Carter budget is a straight line to
technological suicide," said Rustum
Roy, chairman of the science,
technology and society program.
The debate, which concerned the ef-
IFfectiveness of President Carter's
nuclear arms policy, was part of an
eight-hour program entitled "Thinking
About War?" and was sponsored by the
Office of Religious Affairs and the
United Ministry at Penn State.
David J. Myers, associate professor of
Apolitical science who presented the pro-
Carter argument, said the decision
against building the B 1 bomber or ad
ditional nuclear aircraft carriers
exemplifies Carter's commitment to
peace.
"If there was ever a president who
attempted to reach an accommodation
with the Soviet Union, it is Mr. Carter,"
Myers said.
. Carter's decisions to build the MX
missile and deploy the Pershing 2
• missile in Europe were only necessary
• responses to Soviet actions and will open
,the door to military equality by telling
. the Soviets they can't achieve
superiority, Myers said.
Roy argued that the misconception
that more missiles are needed is one
example of the partial truths based on
semi-quantitative argument which

Glenn Kidder, one of three singers at the "Thinking About War?" program
yesterday, aroused audience feelings with anti-draft songs like, "Find the Cost
of Freedom."
"The motto of our culture is
`everything but the whole truth,' " he
said.
"Increasing nuclear weaponry on

is destabilizing in the extreme. Every

Myers, on the other hand, stressed the
importance of the MX missile as a major
stabilizing factor.
"The Carter position is rational and it
represents the best hope that we have in
the closing decades of this century to
avoid a nuclear war," he said.

Armed forces below standards,
University war veterans say
By MAIA FISCHLER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Despite President Carter's
assertion that his call for resumption
of military registration is not linked
to any shortfalls in today's all
volunteer army, many University
veterans say the state of America's
forces is far below standard.
Since military service became
optional in 1973, the caliber, as well as
the number of recruits, has dropped
substantially, veterans both for and
against reinstitution of the draft said.
"When the draft ended, the quality
of the guys went right down," said
Tom Morgan (12th-general arts and
sciences), who finished his, military
service five years ago. "Apparently it
hasn't gotteh better."
Mike Walsh (Bth- agricultural
business management), a veteran
from the post-draft era, said many of
the volunteers he worked with were
incompetent
"When a person doesn't do his job
right, it makes it harder for everyone
else," he said. "Often times you have
to rely on that guy for your life."
William O'Connell (7th-nursing)
said there would be no need to resume
the draft if the Department of
Defense would try harder to make the
all-volunteer service work. He said
approximately 40 percent of all
recruits don't finish their first
enlistment period.
• It takes a servicemanthree years
to workup to a salary equal to that of
a civilian working 40 hours a weekat
minimum wage, he said. O'Connell

said since retirement requirements
were changed from 30 to 20 years, all
increases in personnel funds have
gone toward pensions.
Ralph Hetrick (13th-marketing)
said if benefits were increased,
recruitment would rise. He said then
it wouldn't be necessary to reinstitute
the draft.
"It's not fair to expect someone to
serve his country when he's not
making enough money to live on," he
said.
Hetrick and other veterans said
recent changes in the GI Bill have
also devalued incentive to volunteer
for military service.
The bill, which affects those who
entered the service after January,
1976, requires veterans to pay a
monthly stipend during their years in
the service and yields $220 a month
for four years of schooling.
In addition to confronting its severe
man power shortage, this country
must realize that its military
equipment is old and in a state of
disrepair, said David Panko (13th
agricultural business management),
who served in an Army armory unit.
"I was always impressed with the
state of the equipment and the overall
state of readiness of the Russians,"
he said; "they don't fool around.
"It scares me to think of a con
frontation with them . . When you start
adding it all up, we don't have
superiority anymore," Panko said.
Hetrick said the government has
not put enough effort into developing
the weaponry necessary for the
The Daily Collegian Thursday, March 20,1980-1
United States to win a war
"They have handicapped the U.S.
military against potential enemies by
not allowing them to fight an all-out
war and get it over with," he said.
"They're willing to sacrifice
American lives rather than fight with
the correct military procedure."
Hetrick said if he had the
decision to make again he wuld still
go into the service, but added, "With
things the way they are, I wouldn't
blame anyone for going to Canada or
doing anything to get out of being
drafted."
James Sullivan (10th-division of
undergraduate studies), who was
drafted in 1970, said the government
should learn from the mistakes of the
Vietnam drafting era and institute
some changes in the selective service
system.
He said a future draft should in
clude women and should "more
actively deploy conscientious ob
jectors, thus removing the stigma of
lack of patriotism that they have had
to suffer.
"Also, conscription should be
equitably developed so there won't be
a repetition of the Vietnam draft
where the rich bought their sons
free," he said.
The country needs the draft, said
Dominic Carullo (3rd-agriculture), a
civilian' since July, and although
some people, including himself, do
not enjoy military service, almost
anyone should be able to function in
the service should it become
necessary.
