Point/Ho Counterpoint

Soviet Achilles Heel

Lately in international affairs all you keep reading is how the Soviets con­ tinually outwit us, outnegotiate us, and outbomb us. This tunnel vision has long ignored reality and the record should be set straight the Soviets do have signifi­ cant weaknesses that should be recognized.

Granted, the U.S.S.R. plays in the big leagues: 5,000 strategic nuclear warheads that could literally turn our country into rubble and Soviet forces in Eastern Europe posing a continuing threat against NATO. But. the U.S. also plays in the pros. The U.S. has approx­ imately 9,200 warheads with more than half of these on highly invulnerable sub­ marines. Loyalty of Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union could be questioned. .NATO is a strong alliance where the U.S. does not have to worry which way- its allies will point their guns in case of war. The U.S. holds a technological ad­ vantage over its adversary. It boils down to an equality of mutual overkill between the two militarily; neither na­ tion being able to effectively use nor knowing exactly how to use this awesomepower to their ad vantage.

The Soviet Union is surrounded by hostile Communist states. The .Soviets have more than half a million men

Stress Seminar Offered

Living with stress is inevitable. Lear­ ning to manage and control stress is a skill that can make you more produc­ tive and happy. An opportunity to learn this skill will be available in a two- session seminar especially arranged for this campus: March 31st and April 1st, 7-9 p.m. The seminar will cover ex­ am anxiety, sleep disturbance, fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating and the use of bio-feedback. A tape cassette will be given to each partici­ pant at no charge to teach relaxation techniques and sleep inducement.

Dan Conley. Ed.D.. Carl Mansfield, Ph.D. and Stewart Hallyer Ph.D. from the Adaptive Stress Center, will con­ duct the seminar. Fee will be $7.00. class limited to 38 students. Applica­ tions are available at the Health Center, post office and Coffee Shop. Deadline for applications and checks is March 25th

Religion is challenging Moscow's authority. John Paul's election served to strengthen the Catholic Church in Poland, and a religious revival is in full swing in East Germany. Both are highly successful counter weights to the Communists.

The U.S.S.R. has client states that are among the most impoverished countries in the world .; Afghanistan. Angola. Cuba, Ethiopia, and South Yemen). All of them drain Soviet resources. Communist parties in

President Douglass called on Bruce Wilcox to report on the current status of the faculty evaluations. Bruce announc­ ed that the logistics of the program have basically been worked out, and he is waiting for the final version of the faculty agreement with the ASLC. He stated the evaluation will be ad­ ministered the week of the 14th of April, and that he is in need of volunteers to help assemble packets and administer the evaluations during that week. He is currently in the process of soliciting students to administer the evaluations. Alan Badanes requested that the ASLC reps submit a copy of their class schedule in an attempt to utilize ASLC membership in the administration of the evaluations. Mr. Wilcox will report again in the near future on the status of the project.

The Vice President informed the

ASLC members of the results of the survey made regarding what ASLC members are really interested in see­ ing accomplished by the ASLC this semester and the first item was the faculty evaluation project. The next two items were to see that ofteampus lockers and sports equipment be obtain­ ed for the students. Volunteers were asked to form committees to check into the lockers and sports equipment and Joe Howell, Gerrit Van Huisstede, and Mary Schmitt will be working on the lockers and Brian Molin, Andre Gazal, Gerrit Van Huisstede, and Mary Schmitt will work on the Athletic Com­ mittee. Dean Beaver related to the ASLC that once the new classroom building is completed the Pub will ex­ tend its space to cover the entire section on that side of the hanger and the

Happy Trails Failsby Gaetan Lion

Last week the Phoenix Col­ iseum staged the Rodeo of Rodeo's, the world's greatest indoor rodeo. From the 12th to the 16th of March some of the greatest names in the sport such as Joan McDonald, Tom Miller and Ken Kelley con­ fronted each other in different events such as bareback bron­ co riding, saddle bronco riding, calf roping, steer wrestling and bull riding.

Friday the 14th was a rather dull night as the cowboys were often unable to rope or wrestle down steers or calfs and they did not last too long on the back of either broncs or bulls.

Contest announcer Bob Tallman called it: "The night the animals won." Fortunate­ ly on Saturday evening the 15th the cowboys made up for their previous mediocre per­ formance. Their flamboyance was such that they made "The Electric Horseman" look like a wooden horse rider.

Later the crowd got shell- shocked when Mel Coleman was trailing upside down behind his horse as his left ankle was caught in a stirrup. A few seconds later he was ly­ ing motionless on the ground. Fortunately with some help Mel got up, he was all right. Bob Tallman in order to

Detour at Dog Track RoadConsidering the recent

weather in Phoenix, It's tart to believe that good skiing can still be found only Vft boors north in Flagstaff

A party of T-Binls headed north-ward on Hi$rway 17 in the pre-dawn hours one day last week. On first arriving in Flagstaff, a breakfast stop was made at Demy's. A skier's type breakfast two eggs, sausage, bacon and pan­ cakes can be had for $1.99.

Arizona's Snow Bowl is located on Mt. Agassiz in the San Francisco peaks. It's about 30 minutes down Highway 180 from Flagstaff and signs mark the way. Fif­ teen of those minutes are spent in climbing a pitted and pot-holed road to reach the base lodge. If you'd rather not drive the road, you can park at the beginning and take the shuttle bus up for $2 00 round trip.

Lift tickets are KM on weekdays, $10.00 on weekends and rental equipment is priced the same. Intermediate and advanced skiers can choose between a double chairlift or the Poma lift Beginners are serviced by three rope tows. There was a 10-15 minute wait for the chair by mid- afternoon. Rumor has it that the wait is double that on weekends.

The area, which has 2100 feet of vertical, doesn't really offer great variety in its runs due in great part to their limited number but there was enough to keep these skiers happy all day. Small, hard marbles softened up-as the day progressed without ever reaching the slush stage.

Flagstaff offers every con­ ceivable fast food outlet for dinner on the way home so Jast Keep your eyes open as you pass down the strip. Most of the ski areas will be dosing mid-April (weather permit­ ting) so better make plans for that one last trip now and be sure to remember to include

VA Benefits ExemptedPHOENIX-Veterans

benefits generally are exempt from federal income taxation, advises Gordon Lyons, direc­ tor of the Veterans Ad­ ministration regional office in Phoenix.

Toe major tax-exempt VA benefits are compensation, pension, and educational assistance, including sub­ sistence payments to voca­ tional rehabilitation trainees. Lyons said.

Also exempt are VA grants to military service-disabled veterans for specially adapted homes and motor vehicles as well as clothing allowances

paid to service-disabled, veterans whose use of pro­ sthetic or orthopedic ap­ pliances results in undue wear and tear on clothing.

Lyons said dividends and proceeds from government life insurance policies are ex­ empt from federal income tax. Bat toe proceeds are subject to federal estate taxes.

He also noted that interest accrued on government life in­ surance dividends left on deposit or credit with the VA isn't exempt and most be reported on federal income tax returns.

To the Editor:AGSIM's Greatest MysteryTo many Iranians be is a

great mystery. Some say be is Iranian. Others feel he Is American. Still others suggest he worked for SAVAK as an to- former. Most agree he is a good writer. I say be is none of toe above.

He suffers from a relatively rare disease known as identity crisis. Medical doctors might can it amnesia. He professes himself to be an Iranian. What kind of an Iranian? His too- fluently written article on Iran (March 7, Das Tor issue), un­ questionably an expression of Jealous rage, shattered hopes and frustrations, is well known to most AGSIM Ira­ nians.

He is also an authority on American politics. He actively campaigns for Senator Ken­ nedy, writing articles and run- ning a campaign head­ quarters ta the AGSIM Post Office on the Senator's behalf. Ironically, Kennedy is the one presidential candidate not publicly condemning Kno- meini. When this man is ter­ ribly bored, he stands there alone and solicits votes as though he himself were runn­ ing for the presidency. Presumably be would vote for Senator Kennedy himself, but by law he can't.

WHO is this mystery man? Is be Just another part of the AGSIM mystique?

Ahmad Djadall To My Fellow Students:

As students, we are for­ tunate to have such a sym­ biotic relationship as we do with many local businesses. Generally, local merchants try to provide us with good products and services and, in turn, we continue to supply them with our business patronage. As a matter of fact, the relationships that have been established bet­ ween AGSIM students and many local merchants are so strong that such services as credit extension, "no hassle" check acceptance, and free pick-up and delivery are quite commonly offered to us T- Birds. Without even leaving the campus we are able to order a phone for our rooms, open up checking accounts, order clothing and Jewelry, and order resumes. It is the duty of all of us to make sure that this unique student- merchant relationship which we all enjoy is not threatened by participants on either side of the equation. I feel that part of this responsibility involves exposing those merchants who nave betrayed or abused the trust and goodwill placed in them by our student body.

The merchant this letter refers to is the "Paper Moun­ tain Composition" resume and secretarial service. I have had the unpleasant experiences of being stood up, lied to, and over-charged by Paper Moun­ tain Composition. Pam Heck, the proprietor of Paper Moun­ tain Composition, has been allowed to operate in the AGSIM post office on a one day per week basis to the ostensible mutual benefit of both herself and the students of AGSIM.

Unfortunately, experiences like mine have been com­ monplace with students who have recently used the ser­ vices of Paper Mountain Com­ position. The following com­ ments are directly quoted from some of the many AGSIM students who have had problems with Paper Moun­ tain. All of these comments

are printed with the express permission of the students in­ volved. Many other comments were unfit to be printed fa this newspaper.

Melanie Hackett - On numerous occasions promises were made that resumes would be ready on a specific day. On at least 8 different oc­ casions, the resumes were not completed as promised. Also, in order to speed things up, I offered to drive down to her home to pick up the resumes or paper < upon Pam Heck's in­ structions as to a specific time to come), only to find that nobody was home. It is understandable that promises cannot always be kept and that emergencies do arise, but unfortunately that is not the case with Paper Mountain Composition too many students have had too many aggravating experiences to blame this problem on "emergencies."

Rick Guriey I had several problems with Pam Heck, her mother, Mrs. Warden, and Paper Mountain; wrong paper, wrong addresses, wrong times, wrong charges, etc. My major complaint, however, is that it took over a month to get my resume and cover letters. I needed them and was assured that I would get them much sooner. When I confronted Mrs. Heck with my complaint, she indignantly in­ formed me that I would no longer be allowed to do business with Paper Moun­ tain, rather like quitting a job for reasons of being fired. The problem with Mrs. Heck's business is that she takes on more work than she can do. I would hate to see her put out of business, but 1 would like to see Paper Mountain cut down

to a molehill which Mrs. Heck can handle.

John Leach I have recent­ ly experienced costly delays with Paper Mountain over a Job that could not have takes over 15 minutes to typeset and a day to print up, which resulted to only too much dissatisfaction on my part. On Feb. 2$. I handed Pam Heck a short job that consisted of printing five or six short job objectives with two minor changes in the body of my resume and was promised that I could proofread it on the evening of the Sth, and have the printed form back March 4 at latest. It is now March 17. and after countless promises and what appeared to me to be excuses, I still nave no printed resumes. Furthermore, I have been unable to contact Pam any hour of the day. Although I have been pleased with the quality of work by Paper Mountain in the past, it seems that Pam Heck has taken on more work than she can han­ dle, which has resulted to her inability to follow through on her promises.

BJ. Jacques - My first negative experience with Paper Mountain occurred when my resume proof was delivered one week late. The next time 1 dealt with Paper Mountain, 1 decided to forego waiting for on-campus delivery and make a trip to Pam Heck's house myself. After calling to ascertain that someone would be home, I drove 9 miles to pick up the writing paper which I had ordered. Upon arriving, 1 found no one at home; nor were the materials left out­ side. When I later called Pam to discover the cause of this mix-up, Pam simply stated that "she was sorry she just forgot." Perhaps Pam Heck also forgot that by not deliver­ ing resumes and cover letters

J. Kevta Sandt - Why Paper Mountain Resume ob­ viously takes on more work than they can handle is beyond my comprehension. My per­ sonal experience with them in­ volved meeting necessary time constraints. On at least three occasions I was inconve­ nienced driving twenty mile

* excursions in order to insure my cover letters being mailed within an accepted time frame. As it ended up. I never got to proofread or even see the finished copy but bad to take for granted the fact that they had been mailed for me a week and a half later than bad been promised, and that my signature had been transposed on the letters.

There will be many students reading this letter who will be disappointed that they did not get a chance to include their complaints against Paper Mountain in this letter. Un­ fortunately, I could not in­ clude everybody's complaints due to the limitations on time and space. My own ex­ periences with Paper Moun­ tain echo the sentiments ex­ pressed above. I believe that until Paper Mountain discon­ tinues their practice of mak­ ing paper promises to AGSIM students, they should not be supported by our paper money.

The film's climax is a bicycle race which Is their last

MOVIE: CHAPTER TWO

Don't worry. Chapter Two is not about school. It's Noil Simon's latest screenplay which analyzes two painful situations; one is being a divorcee and the other, being a widower. He is 42 and she is 34. They both face the same problem: being middle-aged and single. Their friends ar­ range tbe most incredible mismatches before they are forced to meet each other.

Surprisingly, it's love at first sight but happiness does not come that easily as now they are faced with their real problem - their pasts. In this case the widower (James Caan) has a harder time of it due to tbe great impressions left on him by bis dead wife. With bis sensitive portrayal of tbe widower in Chapter Two, James Caan demonstrates that he is more than just a pair of broad shoulders.

Western Europe virtually without exception no longer take orders from Moscow. The wanning of U.S.-Chinese rela­ tions has brought complaints of "encirclement"; this reflects Soviet anxiety rather than self- confidence.

Economically, the Soviet Union is dependent upon the West for grain and modern technology. Chronic shortages of even the simplest needs sap the Soviet Union's ability to pro­ ject its power abroad.

Politically, the Soviet system has not lived up to its promise. The have-nots through out the world are no better off than

its standing as role model.We must use common sense

Not too late for snow camping

By Kerry DragerNational News Bureau

Many wilderness travelers backpack during summer and cross-country ski in winter. Few. though, combine the two activities.

But for those who do, winter can be the best backpacking season of all. Pesky insects disappear and the snow fron­ tier expands far beyong the summer boundaries of trails, streams and even lakes. It is the solitude, though, that makes camping in the winter backcountry a true wilderness experience.

To most warm-weather backpackers, snow camping means chilled misery. But an experienced winter traveler will seldom be uncomfortably cold. With proper preparation, anyone can make a successful and safe transition to cold-weather backpacking.

However, before taking off into the white wilderness, you must be prepared. Get ready for your first overnighter with day outings to allow you to become accustomed to snowshoes or cross-country skis. And learn to use all your other gear as well.

Plan your initial snow cam­ ping trip with experienced friends, a mountain school or an outdoors group. It's easier and safer than trial and error. A good teacher can supply in- the-field tips, from melting snow for water to bow to set up a tent in the snow. '

It's not imperative that you go with an established group. Just remember that relatively minor summer mishaps can be deadly in winter. Never travel alone. A party cf at least three is ideal, permitting one person to stay with a vic­ tim while the other goes for help.

Make your initial outing 3 short one so that a quick retreat to your car or to civilization can be made.

Check the weatherdeparture and tell a

responsible person whereyou're going, when you're due

. and who to contact if yoofail to return.

Other measures to insure a safe trip include taking, with your other gear, essen­ tials: topographic map, com­ pass, emergency food and clothing, flashlight, emergen­ cy shelter, knife, matches, firestarter, first aid kit and equipment repair kit.

Remember to take sunglasses and sunscreen (glacier cream) as well. Skin burns quickly at high altitudes, especially when the sun reflects from snow. And snow blindness can be serious.

A successful snow outing also requires proper apparel. In fact, cold feet are often a signal that body warmth is be­ ing lost elsewhere, usually from the head.
