Profes
sor: SALT XI good f or U.S.
By Kathy Sjulin
Ratification of SALT II is in the best interest of the
American people, according to the chairman of a political
scienee department in India who is lecturing at UNL this
week.
Tarun Bose, who is spending a year at Harvard Univer
sity researching arms treaties, will lecture on SALT II, the
Middle East" and Indian and Soviet foreign policies in
several UNL political science classes. Bose teaches at
Dibrugarah University in India.
Ratification of SALT II is unlikely at the moment,
Bose said, because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan!
The situation between the United States and the Soviet
Union has grown so tense that the treaty has little chance
of being considered by the Senate in the near future, he
said.
Because SALT II is controversial, further considera
tion may fe pushed to 1981 -after the U.S. elections,
he said. . ,
Bose said the possibility of a new president in the
White House could create "a different situation" for
SALT II.
He said he isn't sure SALT II would prevent escalation
of the arms race between the United States and the So-
Reed's music . . .
Continued from page 8
The song, which graphically details elements of the gay
sub-culture, must have come as a surprise to those attuned
to the normal drive of AM radio. Also worthy are "Satel
lite of Love" and a delightful reading of "Good Night
Ladies."
Berlin, the quintessential rock novel is a hard album
to find, but one worthy of seeking out. It has been ranked
alternatively as the most depressing album of all time,
and one of the worst. It details the marriage, breakl
up and suicide of a woman through the eyes of her loser
husband. v
Not for squeamish ,
Although not exactly the album to start a party with,
its lush production and raking catharsis makes it one of
the most effective albums of all time. Not for the squea
mish, it contains the real cries 'of two children as their
mother is being taken away. The sounds were recorded
by accident, and served as the basis for the album.
Reed's last two studio albums, Street Hassle, and
; The Bells are effective marriages of hiiardoruc humor
and biting commentary. . .
Street Hassle contains enough four-letter words to keep
it off the radio but it was one of the best albums of 1978.
It contains the 11 -minute mini-opera "Street Hassle", a
street life , tour-de-force about what William Burroughs
called "the algebra of heed" in his novel Naked Lunch. ' r
It is about sex and drugs, and the practicality of sur
vival. The album also contains "I Want To Be Black,"
an anthem for screwed-up middle-class college students.
The album also contains its share of tongue-in -cheek
humor.
Logical follow-up
The Bells is the logical follow-up to Street Hassle.
It is eminently playable Von the - radio, (though it
wasn't). .It contains churning rhythm and blues and strong'
songwriting. "Stupid Man," "Boogie With You" and the
apocalyptic title track all move with an urgency that is
refreshing.
The Bells also contains the tongue-in-cheek "Disco
Mystic." The song is a danceable tune with drone lyrics
that simply repeat, "Disco, Disco Mystic ,...'" Good
stuff.-
A quieter primer to Lou Reed might be the older and
more personal, Coney Island Baby album. It features soft
rhythm and blues, and is not as focused as his last two .
albums but entirely listenable. -

viet Union, but escalation would be assured without
rauucauon.
Technological lead
In June, 1972, at the time of SALT I, the United
States had a technological lead over the Soviet Union,
according to Bose. During the last eight years, however,
the United States has lost its lead and the two countries
are now thought to be equal , he said .
The goal of SALT II is parity, or overall equality
between the two countries, Bose said.
American fears that the Soviet Union would not com
ply with the terms of SALT II are unnecessary, Bose
said. The United States could monitor Soviet action with
ships, satellites, aircraft and powerful radar.
. Bose said he believes the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
could have resulted from Soviet leaders fears of the re
vival of Islam in the Middle East as illustrated by
Ayatollah Khomeini's regime.
The Soviets next step may be Pakistan , he said , because
"they may want to get the Afghan rebels out of
Pakistan." .
Soviets have oil
A Soviet invasion into Iran for oil isn't likely, Bose
said because the Soviets "have enough oil?' '
Bose refused to comment on the American hostages
in Iran, except to say he hopes the crisis will be resolved.
He said America's future depends on its ability to de
velop a substitute for oil, which will eliminate dependency
on foreign countries. He cited developments in synthetic
oil production as an example of progress.
President Carter should be commended for the key role
he played in bringing Israel and Egypt together, Bose
said. Even so, he said he believes tension in the Middle
East will continue until a homeland is found for the
Palestinians. Because Israel sees such a homeland as a
possible threat to her security, the situation is very
difficult, he added.
Bose said he will discuss India's position on the 1968
non-proliferation treaty in several political science classes
this week. The treaty prevents countries that signed it
from using nuclear power for peaceful purposes, he said.
India feels this is unfair and has refused to sign the treaty,
he added.
Peaceful purposes
Countries, like the United States, that had nuclear
weapons before the 1968 treaty are still able to use theii
power for peaceful, energy -generating ; purposes, he
said. Countries that were without nuclear power before
1968, however, are prevented .from doing so under the
terms of the treaty, he said.
Bose called the treaty "unfair to the poor countries
in Jhe Third World" because it prevents them from using
nuclear power to harness electricity, fracture deeply
buried mineral deposits and stimulate recovery of na
tural gas.
Nuclear weapons now exist in five countries, he said
These are the United States, the Soviet Union, China.
