ANNOUNCING SPEEDY'S
NEW COPY CENTER

b

WASHINGTON (AP) - The State
Department said yesterday political
repression around the world continued
on a broad scale in 1982, with a number
of nondemocratic governments - both
friendly and unfriendly - routinely
denying the most fundamental human
freedoms.
In its annual report on the state of
human rights, the department assessed
162 countries in 1,323 pages and con-
cluded there was little or no change in
most countries.
AT ONE extreme, the report found
that democratic Costa Rica "remains
one of the most committed nations in
protecting human rights" while at the
other, communist North Korea "is one
of the most highly regimented and con-
trolled countries in the world."

In general, the report indicated that
politically motivated killings were
more likely to occur in rightist dictator-
ships than in Communist countries.
Under questioning at a press briefing,,
Ellitt Abrams, the assistant secretary
for human rights and humanitarian af-
fairs, refused to say whether there was
any easing of political repression in
1982.
IN ITS 15-page section on the Soviet
Union, the report said it "continues to
fall far short of accepted international
standards."
"Although capital punishment is im-
posed only infrequently, the regime's
standard response to dissent is the in-
carceration of dissidents in prison or
labor camps," the report said.
It concluded that there was an

escalation in 1982 in the anti-dissedent
campaign. Moscow's goal, it said, is to
sever contacts between Soviet dissiden-
ts and foreigners.
In Afghanistan, the report said, the
inability of Soviet and Afghan forces to
crush the resistence movement has led
them "increasingly to target and kill,
the civilian populace" in areas of high
rebel activity.

only to gain media exposure.
The group's right to rally will be in-
sured, Peterson said, but he added that
"we certainly don't welcome them.''
"IF THERE were any way we could
legally prevent (the rally), we would do
so," said councilmember E. Edward
Hood (R-Fourth Ward).
Councilmember Leslie Morris (D-
Second Ward), who also said she
believed the group wrote the council

only in the hope of drawing opposition,
said group members she talked to last
year were "shocked" to find they didn't
need a permit from city council to
demonstrate.
City Police Chief William Corbett
said yesterday he will again take
whatever steps he deems necessary to
safeguard against violence at the rally
next month, adding that he plans to
meet with group members in the next
few days to gather details.

Profs study arms control

(Continued from Page 1)
Miroslav Nincic, the Office's second co-
director, believes the organizationnever
could have been created without the
moral support of University President
Harold Shapiro. Nincic said the office
is the solution to Shapiro's questions
about what role the University should
take in the national arms control
debate.
Shapiro, however, refuses to take
credit for organizing the group. "I
would stop short of saying I was influen-
tial," he said. "(But) I've tried the best
I could to improve this area."
So far, the office's efforts have had
some significant impact on the Univer-
sity.
SEMINAR participant Prof. Martin
Einhorn is presently teaching a Univer-
sity Course called "Nuclear Weapons
and Nuclear Wars" which the office
originally organized as a mini-course.
"We cover a variety of topics. Its
goal is to introduce students to issues
and the language of the topics,"
Einhorn said. He said the class aims at
clarifying some of the root dilemmas
surrounding arms control.
"There is a question of what should
be done (as opposed to) what can be
done," he said.
EINHORN SAID the process of con-
verting the class from a mini-course to
a full semester was eased by the help of
other seminar members who frequently
guest lecture to the class.
The course was the office's first
major activity. But now the office is
trying to organize the study of nuclear
crises on a larger scale by staging a
symposium on crisis stability and
nuclear conflict.
According to Nincic, the symposium
would stress ways of preventing the
escalation of a crisis into a nuclear con-
frontation.
"It's not a particularly political type
of thing," Nincic said. Instead of
focusing on methods of arms reduction
or advocating nuclear freezes, he said
the conference would concentrate on
how to prevent a crisis between the
United States and the Soviet Union
from becoming an all-out nuclear
disaster.
ACCORDING to Nincic, com-
munication is the key to preventing such
a disaster.
To provide such communication,
Jacobson said the symposium would
serve as a forum for scientific research
by social and natural scientists about
the onset, escalation and spread of
crises in the globe's politically volatile
areas.
Combined with papers analyzing
military and diplomatic policy which

could be used to control such crises,
Jacobson hopes the symposium could
produce a comprehensive book ex-
ploring the entire nuclear arms issue.
But before any of this can happen,
Jacobson said, "we've got to get the
thing funded."
NINCIC AND Jacobson have been
trying to find an organization to sponsor
the symposium, which is tentatively
scheduled for this fall.
According to Jacobson, the office has
applied for grants from the Department
of Defense, the Ford Foundation and
the Rockefeller Foundation. Nincic said
the Rockefeller Foundation has ex-
pressed some interest in funding the
event but financial commitments are
not expected until sometime this
spring.
"The public has realized the way
we're trying to manage our relations
with the Soviet Union," Tsipis at MIT
said, and they are "alarmed." But he
and other higher education faculty
across the nation are concerned the
sudden surge of interest in arms control
is little more than a political fad.
Michael Moodie, an arms control
program coordinator at Georgetown
University, echoed Tsipis' concern.
"I think institutions are responding to
what they see as a growing minority in
the public at large," he said. "In some
cases, it is a fad."
