By WALLACE IMMEN
The Committee on Institu-
cional Cooperation approved an
energetic list 'of plans for the
coming year at its tenth anni-
versary conference at the Uni-
versary Monday and yesterday.
Among new research suggest-
ions is a proposal for joint studies
'of ocean tides and biology using
surplus facilities associated with
the Kindley Air Force Base on
the island of Bermuda.
Because the base's buildings
were not designed for educational,
uses, a team of specialists, in-
cluding Prof. James T. Wilsorn
of the Institute of Science and
Technology, will make an evalu-
ation tour next week and report,
to a conference group on Ocean

The committee is composed of
one representative from each of
the Big Ten universities plus the
University of Chicago, but only;
nine were able to attend the an-
nual meeting. It was still "highly;
successful," according to Admin-
istrative Dean Robert Williams,;
who is the University's repre-
sentative to the CIC.
Originally established to de-
velop educational programs which
are larger than any one of the

non-member schools.
In the academic realm, two'
representatives from the Univer-
sity were also approved at the
meeting for a committee to con-
sider a unique cooperative edu-
cation program in Polar Studies.
Profs. William Benninghof, cura-
tor of the Botanical Gardens, and
William Farrand, of the geology
and minerology department were
approved to work with the study
group, whose goal would be a

program for specialized instruc-
tion in polar geography, geology
and climate.
A report by Prof. Charles
Hucker, director of the 1967 CIC
Far Eastern Language Institute,
noted that the program is receiv-
ing a record number of applica-
tions and has a very low drop-
out rate, which was attributed to
selective admissions.
The summer sessions will be
divided into an undergraduate
and a graduate program in the
future to handle more than its
204 capacity this year.
Slavic Conference
The continuation of a Slavic
language and area study Insti-
tute was also approved unani-
mously and will handle about
300 students at next summer's
conference at the University. En-
rollment in this program is open
to students from any university
and from foreign institutions.
Advanced training programs are
also being stressed this year. Prof.
Robert E. Doerr of the dental
school has prepared a study of
post-graduate dental research
training which could extend to
all of the schools.
Supported in principle was the
Poland Project, a $9.5 million de-
velopment plan for improving
training in Poland. Three CIC
representatives visited Poland re-
cently, but no pledges of money
to make up the more than $4
million addition to the fund were
made by the CIC at this time
because of other commitments.
The $9.5 million is being supplied
through United States govern-
ment gold holding in Poland.

Busch says American anti-
Communism is not "a religion,
more like an anti-religion or a
j creed. To be perfectly frank, I
would say for many years Com-
munism was a creed, not a politi-
cal opinion, in the Soviet Union.
But Communism is supposedly;
I based on science.
"America has such an emotional
reaction to Communism that she
hasn't a chance of understanding.

did not differ from the reaction
in Europe. But after World War
II, anti-Communism in Europe
developed in a classical way. But
not in the United States," he
stated.
Fear Unrealistic
How do East Europeans feel'
about China? "The American fear
is not a realistic assessment of
China," Busch says. "For fifty
years you have been poisoned by
prejudice (against the Soviet
Union).
"When the menace proves to be
not as expected, you find another
fear. Here people are upset about
China, but not frightened.
"I believe that if America has
normal contact with China, she
couldn't do what she is doing.

the two blocs to cooperate in
helping the third world. "We
must get together and develop a
program. The Chinese have a pro-
gram for the world. We don't,"
Busch stated.
Meanwhile in Czechoslovakia,
young people are demanding more
freedom and are looking to the
West for new models. Tension
between militant young people
and moderate party members like
Egon Busch is increasing. With
loosened restrictions on travel,
young East Europeans are travel-
ing all over Europe, talking to
Provos in Holland and New Left-
ists in England. One thing, in any
event, is certain: not much can
remain the same for long in
Eastern Europe.

As Busch sees the world, the
essential division is, as the Chi-
nese assert, between rich nations
and poor, between citified nations
and agrarian nations. But he does
not agree with the Chinese that
the way to eliminate the differ-
ence is through violence. "The es-
sence of revolution is change, not
violence," he emphasized.
Unfortunately the distance be-
tween the rich and poor is in-
creasing. He believes the best way

MOSCOW ()')-In an apparent
dry run of a Soviet spacecraft in-
tended for cosmonauts, the Soviet
Union brought down to a soft
landing yesterday one of two un-
manned Sputniks which had'
docked and separated in orbit un-
der computer guidance.
The successful landing could
clear the way for a second at-
tempt at a manned rendezvous
and docking aboard a Soyuz craft.
Cosmonaut Vladimir M. Kova-
rov was killed last April when his'
Soyuz 1 crashed during an at-
tempted landing after orbiting for
24 hours. A twisted parachute was
officially blamed for the tragedy.
Announcements at the time did
not say Kovarov was attempting
a linkup in orbit with another
Sputnik but this was widlely re-
garded as the purpose of his mis-
sion.
There was no immediate indi-
cation when the Soviets would
attempt to duplicate the success-
ful Cosmos 186 mission, this time
with a cosmonaut aboard. They
have yet to achieve a manned
docking.
Such a feat, possibly surpassing
the ones U.S. astronauts pioneer-
ed, could lead to the building in
Sspace of huge orbiting platforms.
These platforms are expected to
further space studies and provide
bases for such long flights as a
trip to the moon.
A moon rocket, assembled on
a space platform, would require
less thrust to overcome Earth's
gravity.
Evidence that Cosmos 186 was
an unmanned test of a Soyuz
came from their similar orbits,
similar radio signals, and the So-
viet insistence on landing it, us-
ually not done with an ordinary
unmanned satellite.
Launched Friday
The unmanned Cosmos craft,
which was launched Friday, land-
ed at an undisclosed location at
11:20 a.m. Moscow time - 3:20
a.m. EST-on its 65th orbit upon
command from a ground station.
The other Sputnik, Cosmos 188
launched Monday, continued the
new orbit it went into after the
two separated some 20 hours ear-

186 performed all missions suc-
cessfully.
All systems on board, it said,
have demonstrated "a high level
of reliability in solving tasks rad-
ically new to cosmonautics." It
did not identify these new tasks.
The "automatic" rendezvous and
docking of the two Suptniks, guid-
ed by their computers, was his-
tory's first such unmanned ma-
neuver.
Two weeks ago a Soviet unman-
ned spaceship parachuted an in-
strument package through the at-
mosphere of Venus. It radioed in-
formation on the planet to Earth.
Soviet television showed the

two ships locked together with#
the rotating Earth in the .back-
ground, then showed Cosmos 188
as it slowly separated and floated
off into space.
The bomb-shaped Cosmos ships
were equipped with wing-like so-
lar batteries.
The commentator said Cosmos
186 was the "active'" partner and
sought out 188, the passive ship.
The linkup occurred on the first
orbit of 188 and the 46th orbit of
186.
The two craft locked together
head on, then separated on com-
mand from an Earth control
station.
