Mideast Symposium . . .

While this may be easiest, Aspaturian said, it may not
be the most accurate.
He said Soviet policy should be viewed as opportunis
tic because it will make moves based on where the coun
try thinks it will succeed.
"The Soviets are taking advantage of opportunities
as they arise," said Aspaturian.
Thus, the ebb and flow of Soviet movements reflect
the ebb and flow of opportunities in a given region, he
said.
He said the Soviets were weakest in the Third World
where they lack the satellites they possess in eastern
Europe.
Aspaturian said Soviet domestic imperatives can in
fluence Soviet foreign policy just as in the U.S.
He said that politics in the U.S. and the Soviet Union
are not very different-even though they operate in
different spheres and degrees of freedom.
Gilberg, of Pennsylvania State University and West
Point Academy, said the eastern European satellites sup
port Soviet policies for many reasons including "sheer
economic necessity."
The implications of these policies are a denial of the
area to the West, he said.
Students awarded
engineering honors
The UNL College of Engineering has presented all of its
scholarships and awards for 1980-81, some given during
recent E-Week activities and others presented last fall. All
were awarded by Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honorary.
Edward J. Taylor won the Dean O.J. Ferguson Award
as the outstanding senior in the college. He has a GPAof
3.964 with 139 credit hours and is working for a
bachelor's degree in industrial engineering.
Daniel R. Lipps received the Dean O.J. Ferguson Out
standing Sophomore Award. Lipps was chosen as the
sophomore who, as a freshman, had the highest CPA in
that class, based on at least 25 hours of classes.
Eleven students were honored for maintaining a 4.0
average through their first two years of engineering.
They are: Michael R. Anient, Bradley T. Binder, Leslie A.
Grundman, David E. James, Joel D. Lamb, Daniel R.
Lipps, David J. Megel, Robert D. Neve, Thomas J. Thomp
son, Gerald L. Ullman and Myloan Thi Vu.
Last fall, Thomas J. Wiemann won $300 through the
Ronald L. Hazard Memorial Scholarship. The following
students won $200 each last fall in the form of Sigma Tau
scholarships: John D. Cox, Michael R. Gilmore, David J.
Hild. James A. Limb. Michael S. Linn and Wendy S.
Thompson.
Answering questions from the audience, Aspaturian
said the Soviet Union supports some terrorist groups
directly but most are supported indirectly.
He also said he would not characterize the Palestine
Liberation Organization as soley a terrorist group. He said
the PLO also is a political movement.
Rubenstein urged the Reagan Administration to build
up conventional forces in the region. He said the media
has led the country to believe the United States is stronger
than it actually is.
"The rapid deployment force is not rapid, but deploy
able and it's not a force," Rubenstein said.
The U.S. needs to determine what its priorities are in
the Middle East, he said.
Rubenstein said it was wrong to push allies for military
bases in the Middle East because cooperation with the
U.S. can often bring internal conflicts to the country.
He also said there is no purpose in selling arms to the
Saudi Arabian government, despite the U.S. need for
oil.
"The Saudi Army would have a hard time fighting its
way out of Lincoln, Nebraska," he said.

Corporations expand
student financial aid
President Reagan's proposed $9.2 billion slash in
federal student loans and grants during the next five
years will at least in part be offset by increased support
from the private sector, according to D'miel J. Cassidy,
president of the California based National Scholarship
Research Service.
Cassidy said corporate support to education last year
approached $1 billion, more than double the $450 million
figure in 1975.
Estimating that corporate donations in 1981 will in
crease by 15 per cent, or about $150 million, Cassidy said
this will leave many middle-income families who previous
ly relied on the Guaranteed Student Loan and other feder
al grant programs "stranded and looking for help."
"Competition for existing scholarship funds, as a re
sult, will increase substantially in coming months,"
Cassidy noted, adding that the trend is already becoming
clearly apparent at the organization he heads.
NSRS, which specializes in providing computer-generated
lists of scholarships, fellowships, grants and loans
that best meet the educational and occupational goals of
applicants, has experienced a two-fold increase in inquiries
since Reagan's proposed budget cuts were announced, he
said.
Noting that last year more than $130 million in avail
able educational funds went unclaimed, Cassidy conclud
ed that generous education grants will still be available
for needy students and even many middle- and upper
income applicants who "do their homework and know
where to look."
