Few countries have had so many economic obstacles dropped in their paths. Rhodesia's oil im- ports have been embargoed, its foreign assets seized, its trade out- lets blocked and its currency spurned abroad. Its best customers, Britain and Zambia, have turned against Rho- desia and the whole world has withheld diplomatic recognition.

According to Radock, his office tries to reply to all sincere com- munications by expressing appre- ciation for their concern and by explaining what the University is, that all of the students are not involved in these activities, that the University is assuming a neu- tral position in current events. a'u- Two Broad Functions This job and others fall to the office because of its broad func- tions: to provide various servicesQ to members of the University, and to maintain the University's rela- tions with the public. The first includes giving direct service tosindividuals, faculty and staff, and academic and research centers of the University. Editorial and graphic assistance, publica- tion, public relations counselling, Internal communication ,and par- ticipation in broad administrative and future planning activities are some of the endeavors undertaken in rendering this service.

Ti Knock on the Do To maintain and generate the - level of support this institution requires, Radock believes that "the various publics must understand and appreciate the unique nature of the University." As an example, it was pointed out that although the University is a state school, only about a third of its financial support comes fro, state appropriations. How- ever, this is the most important fraction, because it provides the basic support for instructional purposes, for faculty and staff sal- aries, instructional equipment, and a myriad of other items. -0 5 5 ' "It must be recognized," Radock7 contends, "that Michigan's excel- lence as an educational institu- tion of national and international i nevitabie wnen the economy de- clines and the worst sufferers will be the Africans, whose future is the cause of the conflict between:I Britain and Rhodesia.
