I wonder over this affinity that the Policy,,press look away in Soviet COHEN from Page 4 the New York Times relegated it to inside pages once Medvid was returned to his ship. Like the Pentagon's fierc est hawk, Richard Perle, the Washing ton Times adheres to the conviction that no agreement with the Soviets is worth a damn. They lie, they cheat and they're out to get us. Still, a truth exists here independ ent of politics. Summit or no summit, a Soviet sailor attempted to defect and was stopped from doing so. Either that, or U.S. authorities so mishandled the situation that the poor seaman, con fused and scared, thought better of his plans and decided to remain a Soviet citizen. The ultra-right, so wrong so often on so much, is right on this one. on campus, The Central American Response Team lauds this effort as it does any endeavor toward peace in Central America and the world. The methods and objectives of the CIA, especially in Central America, should be questioned. NU Board of Regents has for buildings. Buildings don't make a university great, quality education does. When one thinks of Harvard Univer sity, does one think of great buildings? No, one thinks of quality education. Medvid was shanghaied in reverse. As apparent as all of that is, only a few right-wing ideologues are willing to say it. Contrast the present situation with the attempted defection of a Lithuanian seaman off Martha's Vine yard in 1970. After the seaman was forcibly returned to his ship, a chorus of Bronx cheers reigned down on the Nixon administration with Demo crats booing the loudest With Medvid, though, both political parties and the press largely have chosen to look the other way. War is hell even cold ones. But there was never an either-or pro position in Medvid's case never a choice between doing the right thing by a sailor or going to the summit.

The defection of a sailor could only scuttle a summit as a pretext, and in that case almost ever ything could do including, of course, the now-you-see-it, now-you-don't defec tion of a key KGB official. The fact remains that either by "incompetence or indifference or a lethal combination of both the Uni ted States has sent a sailor steaming home to an uncertain fate. Medvid may be forgiven for thinking that in the end his choice did not matter. The Soviet Union is not the kind of a country that cares about a single sailor.

N. Bruce Hazen, 88, and partner, Marvin Robinson, designed the Admin istration Building, the Nelle Cochrane Woods Art Building, Westbrook Music Building and Kimball Recital Hall. John Benson, a UNL associate pro fessor of architecture, said the work of the Hazen & Robinson firm was clean and functional. "I think the firm's strongest work on campus is the Westbrook-Kimball com plex," Benson said. The buildings are very useful and designed well, he said. "A lot of research went into the acoustics for the buildings and acous tically the buildings are very effective," he said. David Fowler, Kimball director when the hall opened and faculty liaison with the architecture firm during the building's construction, said the designs Police Report O UNL police arrested a person early Sunday morning for allegedly driving while intoxicated near 16th and Vine streets. The person also was fhartfpd with rnnrrihntintf tn thp Page 5 architect of Kimball and Westbrook were very far-seeing. Kimball was designed as a recital building, but it has worked for theatrical works as well, he "We have always felt it was an out standing facility compared to music buildings on other campuses," Fowler said. "I think one of the strongest statements I can make about the build ings' designs is that in my opinion we wouldn't change anything if we had it to do over again." Benson said he thinks Hazen's firm was amazing because it took on big projects for a small firm. Besides UNL buildings, Hazen also designed the Bennett Martin Library, the First Federal Lincoln office build ing on Cotner Boulevard and several Lincoln schools. Hazen specialized in residential architecture, Benson said. He designed many of the first homes in the Pied mont division. Throughout his career, Hazen designed or remodeled about 500 Lincoln homes. the vehicle. ; ; 0 Two vehicles were reported van dalized. One was in Parking Area 3 near Harper Hall.
