Military relations between the United States and the Soviet Union may be improving, and a dialogue between the nations over nuclear arms seems hopeful, said a U.S. military expert. yesterday at the Uni- versity. Jonathan Dean, a career foreign service officer and former U.S. am- bassador to the Mutual Balanced Force Reduction talks in Vienna, gave the.keynote address for the sec- ond annual Undergraduate Conference of Political Affairs titled "Arms control: American and Soviet Per- spectives," held at Rackham Am- phitheater. "It's a daring assessment I make, - but prospects to limit the strength and number of weapons are generally favorable," said Dean regarding the Bush administration. To initiate a positive change in military relations, Dean said the su- perpowers must agree to limit the number of mobile interballistic missiles and sea-launched cruise missiles, and determine the locations of missile base testing areas. The superpowers must reconsider their competing interests in the Third World before U.S.-Soviet relations will improve, .Dean said. He said the implementation of mili- tary constraints is the key to a more secure global system. "Efforts to build-down the East- West confrontation are more con- structive than building up for a pos-. sible attack," Dean said. A reduction in arms, the diplomat said, would offer a military program of less risk and less cost to the Soviets and the U.S. ..Currently, a National Arms Treaty Organization (NATO) pro- posal suggests a 5 to 10 percent re- duction in nuclear forces. Dean con- siders the program too modest, and instead advocates a 20 percent cut- back in military spending, which could save the U.S. between 5 and 7 billion dollars a year, he said. For the future, Dean advocates a 50 percent reduction in the United States' armaments and personnel in Europe. He said such action would cut the U.S. military budget by 30 percent, a savings of nearly $150 billion a year. Dean said the U.S. may not agree to reduce the number of combat air- craft in Europe because the Soviets currently have a 2 to 1 advantage in military power in this strategic area Nonetheless, Dean said the U.S. needs to work out a program to re- duce combat aircraft. Grethe Holman, a Danish writer, will speak on Scandinavian women artists tonight. Writer to speak on Scandinavian Artists IN BREF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports U.S. tells PLO to take "practical steps" to solve territory disputes TUNIS, Tunisia - U.S. diplomats told the PLO in a 4-1/2 hour meeting yesterday to take "practical steps" to ease tension in the Israeli- occupied territories, the head of the U.S. delegation said. U.S. Ambassador Robert H. Pelletreau, who headed the three-person American team, said after the meeting that there was a "new dynamic" in the Middle East "of which this dialogue is part." Pelletreau said U.S. concerns about terrorism were discussed as well as "practical steps that can be taken in the occupied territories to reduce ten- sions." Yasser Abed-Rabbo, representing the PLO side, said progress was made, but he emphasized that the only road to peace is an international conference involving the five U.N. Security Council members and all parties involved, including the PLO. The Israelis strongly oppose Washington's discussions with the PLO, which Israel considers a terrorist organization. Soviet elections spark rallies MOSCOW - Supporters of Boris Yeltsin, the former Communist Party boss of Moscow, rallied yesterday against a privileged bureaucracy and vowed to turn in their party cards if they see any cheating in the leg- islative election. Yeltsin and his supporters accuse party officials of waging a campaign to discredit him that included the formation of a commission to review whether his views disagree with party policies. At the same time, a rally against old guard candidates gave new life to the candidacy of human rights activist Andrei Sakharov and forced mem- bers of the Academy of Sciences to consider a new election. Sakharov was previously eliminated from the campaign for criticizing an election process. Authorities did not grant permission for the demonstrations in the final days of campaigning before Sunday's election of a new legislature, but the police did not try to stop it. Thin Blue Line suspect goes home HOUSTON - Former death row inmate Randall Adams said yesterday that he wants to go home to Ohio and never return to Texas, the state that imprisoned him for 12 years for a crime he says he didn't commit. .However, Adams, who was released from a Dallas prison on Tuesday, said he isn't bitter about the past and believes a new trial on charges of killing a police officer would further clear his name. Adams, who had no previous arrests, was convicted in 1977 of killing police officer Rovert Wood and was sentenced to death. He once came within three days of his execution date and the sentence was commuted to life in prison in.1980. The conviction was dismissed earlier this month, following revelations in a movie documentary about his case, Thin Blue Line. Despite being imprisoned and facing the death penalty, Adams said the Texas judicial system "in my case worked, Texas did not execute me." Gingrich elected as Republican whip WASHINGTON - House Republicans elected right-wing activist Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) to their no. 2 leadership post yesterday and charted a course for battle with the ruling Democrats. Gingrich, who filed the complaint that led to the House ethics com- mittee investigation of House Speaker Jim Wright, declared he would "build a more aggressive party." "I'm going to be the happiest when two Republicans are debating an issue on TV and there's no room for a Democrat," he said. The vote for Gingrich was widely taken as a rebuke of the low-key style of the current Republican leadership, and as reflecting a desire in the House GOP to concentrate on attacking the Democrats instead of working with them. BY ANN MAURER Scandinavian women were barred from state academies in the early 1800s and forced to find alternative means of education and support.

(AP) - Leaders of Colombia's Medellin Cartel were indicted yesterday on charges of cocaine trafficking and masterminding the slayings of the Colombian justice minister and U.S.. drug informant. The sweeping indictment alleges that both Nicaragua and the Bahamas were used as way stations for $1 billion in drug imports to the United States. Among those charged is a close associate of Bahamian Prime Minister Lynden Pindling. The case "once again shows that the United States is not going to let up our efforts to catch these individ- uals who are supplying drugs to the United States," U.S. Attorney Robert Genzman said. "We feel that the pressure has got to be kept on regardless of how many indictments come out in the United States against members of the cartel." In all, 30 people were charged in the "second wave" of indictments re- sulting from last May's conviction of Carlos Rivas, one of the leaders of the cartel, who officials say is re- sponsible for up to 80 percent of the cocaine imported into the United States. Rodriguez Gacha, Jorge Vasquez and Gonzalo Mejia. None of the cartel members has been taken into custody, although most have already been indicted in Miami. They are believed to be in Colombia, officials said. Genzman noted that it took the government six years to get Lehder to the United States. "I am confident that at some point in time we will be able to obtain custody of the oth- ers," he said. Also indicted was Jack Carlton Reed, who was Lehder's co-defendant at last year's trial. Lehder and Reed were convicted here last May 19 of conspiring to import cocaine. "The indictment traces Lender's development into a primary overseas transporter of cocaine for other Medellin Cartel members, and his continued association with these members after they developed their own transportation operations," Genzman said. The indictment accuses Escobar, Rodriguez, Mejia, Reed and the two Ochoas of running a continuing criminal enterprise punishable by a maximum life sentence and conspir- acy to import drugs. The indictment alleges that after EXTRAS Watch out, beer drinkers, here comes a drinking games manual NEW YORK - Just when you drinking game experts thought you knew it all, two magazine executives from New York City come up with a challenge. Sure, they may have graduated a few years ago, but these women understand the value of the college social scene. Sally Strok and Dede Widrow of Collegiate Enterprises recently in- vited University students to assist them in compiling a collection of hu- morous college drinking games to be published as a book by the fall of 1989. They urge students to "please include clear, concise instructions and game rule variations, including true stories and anecdotes related to the game. "We want to encourage readers nationwide to keep on partying- cre- atively!" said Widrow.
