The Soviet Union's recent rejection of
President Carter's nuclear arms reduc
tion proposals is no cause for alarm and
will not affect relations betwen the United
States and Russia, according to two UNL
professors.
William Avery, assistant professor of
political science, said Carter's proposal to
reduce nuclear weapons was extremely
different than any proposals given to the
Russians before.
"I wasnt too surprised about it," Avery
said. "It was a very radical proposal and
both sides need time to study the proposal
before talks resume in May."
Avery said the United States started
with the best possible plan they had first
and is willing to compromise and negotiate
to agreeable terms with the Soviets.
Peter Maslowski, assistant professor who
teaches a military history class, said much
of what goes on at the talks will be behind
the scenes.
"The talks are dealing with matters of
national survival and it is only proper and
expected that the two nations will move
slowly on an agreement," Maslowski said.
He said the talks are complex because
the Soviet Union and the United States
have two very different weapon systems
that serve different purposes.
"The talks are very difficult because
the Soviet Union wants superiority on
nuclear weaponry and the United States
likes the idea that the nuclear weapons
should never have to be used -an idea the
Soviets don't accept," Maslowski said.
Avery said there was no link to the
human rights controversy and the Soviet
rejection of arms limitations. The United
States has protested Soviet treatments of
Jews.
"For years the Soviet Union and other
communist nations have been criticizing the
United States on its treatment of
minorities; and now, with the human rights
issue, the U.S. is taking the initiative to
put the Soviets on the defensive," Avery
said.
Maslowski said there was no way to
judge if the human rights issue had any
effect on the Soviet decision, because it is
hard to know what is going on in Russia.
Maslowski said the Strategic Arms
Limitation Talks (SALT 1) put limits on
nuclear weapon expansion and now Carter
wants to reduce the number of weapons.
"Both nations want to emerge from this
as the winner," Maslowski said. "Even if
the number of arms are reduced, how will
it be decided which ones are going to be
reduced? And then there is no way to
verify if the weapons have been reduced."
Avery said he did not see any effect on
U.S.-Soviet relations because there was no
way the Soviets would have accepted
1 Carter's current proposals.
"Both nations are fighting because'we
have the technology, we should build it'
ideas," Avery said. "(Soviet Party Leader
Leonid) Brezhnev expects another proposal
from Carter that differs from the present
one."
Maslowski said he thinks the Soviets do
not believe in detente, and nuclear war is
a possibility in the future.

Avery said an increase in the arms race
between Russia and the United States is
a possibility and Carter has even suggested
this.
Maslowski said the arms race has never
halted, and it is going strong.
It is absurd to think we are not in one
right now," he said. The arms race is con
tinuing in those areas not limited in SALT
1 talks, and it has been channeled into
different areas of nuclear weapon
expansion."
