State college may strikeoi

Grand Valley State College in Allen-
dale will have a piece of equipment on
campus no other state school can boast
- an oil derrick.
College administrators were ap-
proached last May by a Michigan-based
COLLEGES'
oil company that wanted to test drill on
part of the school's 1100-acre campus.
Administrators didn't take up the
company's offer, but they had second
thoughts when a Texas firm made a
similar offer a month later.
Turning the matter over to the
college's attorneys, the school drew up
a lease agreement and made plans to
open bidding on their land Sept. 26.
The college could reap the benefits if
a company does indeed strike oil, but
college officials aren't counting on a
budget surplus, said spokesman Jock
Bliss.
"There's no way of knowing (how
much money we'll make)," Bliss said.
"We don't even know if there's oil."
The school's administrators are
currently working on an environmental
and safety control agreement which the
winning company must sign, to protect,

the safety of the students and the
beauty of the campus, Bliss said.

OSU football ticket sales
blue
The stands at Ohio State University
will be emptier this year - ticket sales
for Buckeye football games have hit an
all-time low.
Bob Ries, assistant athletic director,
said student ticket sales are off by 25
percent, and none of the home games
are sold out.
Ries blames the slow sales on OSU's
unattractive home schedule - most of
the Buckeye's important matches are
away games - and a combination of
the tight economy and student apathy.
Six Big Ten schools - Michigan,
Michigan State, Indiana, North-
western, Iowa, and Illinois - reported
increases in ticket sales.
In May, OSU's ticket office reported
that advance ticket sales were down by
more than 50 percent. T

The KAL plane was hundreds of miles
off course and flew over the Kamchatka
Peninsula, site of a major Soviet naval
base and highly concentrated with
Soviet strategic missles. It also flew
over Sakhalin Island, where the
Soviets, over the past several years,
have been building up their military
forces.
Mendel said the Soviet military
strategy is obeying the rules handed
down by superiors without taking any
initiative.
"THEY SHOOT from the hip,
responding with gut reactions," he
said. "Because they do respond in this
rigid inflexible way and since that kind
of response reflects an extreme
paranoia, we have to be extremely
cautious and careful to avoid any
nuclear accidents and uncertainties for
obvious reasons."
The director of the University's Cen-
ter for Russian and East European
Studies, Prof. William Rosenberg, said
global issues shouldn't depend on in-
cidents like the Soviet's gross inep-
titude but are being affected at present.
Rosenberg said accusing top political
leaders for downing the South Korean
airliner is almost irresponsible
speculation and that he would be ex-
tremely surprised if that was the case.
Nevertheless, he said he would feel
safer if it had been a higher-level
political decision because "at least it
would show (Soviet President Yuri An-
dropov) had control of his people."
"WOULDN'T YOU feel worse if a
lieutenant ordered the destruction of a
commercial airliner,"' Rosenberg said.
But Mendel disagreed: "If this were
a high-level political decision rather
than a local district military decision, it
would be even more frightening."
Faced with the present nuclear arms
race, the professors said they hoped it
would lead the Russians to a little
rethinking, slower responses, and more
political consideration.
"WHAT IS important is putting the
politics back into military decision,"
Mendel said suggesting that the Soviet
military has the upper hand over its
political leaders.
Mendel emphasizes that the real
lesson to be learned is to move towards
reconciliation and moderating the
Soviet's fear instead of provoking it.
"The direction we should follow is

Rosenberg said, logically some
liberal arms control enthusiasts may be
having second thoughts. President
Reagan's defense budget may be reen-
forced and opposition to the controver-
sial MX missile will decline as will sup-
port for the nuclear freeze.
Despite sanctions being imposed by
Reagan on the Soviets in retaliation for
the attack, Rosenberg said the Univer-
sity's student exchange program with
the Soviet Union has not been affected
nor does he expect any problems.
