U.S. nuclear forces are adequate. Our
shortcomings are in our ability to wage
conventional warfare. Recommitment of
the United States to such projects as the B-B-l
bomber along with a general updating
of all other non-nuclear equipment can re
store the U.S.-USSR military balance.
The U.S. military does need to be
stronger. Reinstatement of registration and
the draft would certainly result in this.
However, there are alternatives of equal
benefit which need to be considered.
It should be remembered the war for
freedom is not being lost. According to
U.S. News and World Report, the past year
saw more people than ever on the list of
the "Free World". Some 1.6 billion.
America has a responsibility to protect
its allies and its interests. While this may in- ,
elude Saudi Arabian oil, it does not
commit us to the mountains of Afghani
stan. If approached intelligently, we can
protect ourselves, our allies and the rest of
the free world. (While the Republican
Party is commited to a strong national de
fense, the above views are, as always, my
own).

Must show Soviets
Having spoken with Shelley Smith on
two occasions, I can attest to her articulate
and intelligent grasp of current topics. I
believe, however, that her editorial " 'Nyet'
to Olympics act of hypocrisy" is lacking in
its breadth of vision .
Although I would agree that keeping .
politics and the Olympics separated is '
important in allowing the games to survive,
there are certain instances in which world
affairs cannot be ignored. As Miss Smith"
correctly pointed out, the games were can
celled during World War II because of the
immensity of the world crisis. Now, with,
the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, we face,
another threat to world peace and the
possibility' of WWIII. To avoid that rather'
unpleasant situation, we must show the
Soviets that the United , States and the
world will not allow them to ride rough
shod over the Afghans without severe con
sequences. An Olympic boycott might not save any
Afghan lives, but it would deal a monstrous
blow to Soviet prestige. The summer games
in Moscow will have a tremendous prop
aganda message tied to. them and If the !
United States and other nations, mainly
the People's Republic of China, boycott
the Olympics, the games will be a political
washout for. the Russians.- The Soviet
citizens, too, will be wondering where the ,'
Americans are, and the Chinese, etc. There
is nothing the Kremlin fears more than the
questioning of their system by their own
citizens. I'm sure a certain man in Gorky
would agree.

Works both ways
Being East Campus students, we would
like to respond to Steve Slogel's suggestion .
that "East Campus students should take
the bus to City Campus."
Why didn't Steve include City Campus
students i who attend classes on East '
Campus as well? We pay $35 each year for
the privilege of parking-this includes East -Campus
and City Campus lots. Those of us
who are East Campus students feel we have
the choice to ride the bus, drive or travel as
we please.
We would assume Steve has never ridden
in a bus from the statement he made. As
experienced bus riders, we have accepted
the fact of an overcrowded bus and being
packed in like sardines. So why not drive
down and take advantage of the parking
space we paid for?
From Steve's suggestion that we ride the
bus, our parking fee should be reduced and
more buses k made available during the
noon-hour rush. Just because we didn't live
pn the "main campus" shouldn't exclude
us from our rightful privileges. So Steve,
we suggest riding the noon or the 2:35 bus
to City Campus.

Director Heins receives
APA board certificate
Dr. Robert Heins, mental health director at the Univer
sity Health Center, recently received board certification
from the American Psychiatric Association.
In order to receive certification, Heins said he had to
demonstrate basic knowledge of psychiatry and neurology
in a series of oral and written examinations. He also was
judged on examination of patients and relationships with
them.
Heins said that board certification is not required for
licensed psychiatrists, however, it proves knowledge of
basic standards of psychiatry and neurology.
Heins has worked with the University Mental Health
Center for five years.
