Test ban would be a giant step
Last of a three part series
GENEVA, Switzerland (AP)-Silen-
cing the nuclear test explosions that
thunder beneath the earth in Nevada
and Siberia would be a giant
step toward reversing the U.S.-
Soviet arms race, disarmament
advocates argue.
But many believe a comprehensive
test ban treaty, under negotiation here
on and off for 25 years, seems farther
away today than at any time.
THE PARTIAL Test Ban Treaty,
ratified in 1963 by the United States, the
Soviet Union and Britain, prohibited

He also said that it would allow the
students to maintain their status at
EMU as full-time students, and to keep
their passports valid.
IF THE students are denied financial
aid and lose their student status, they
risk having to return home, Webb said.
Webb said he respects the views of
the other colleges and universities that
rejected the request, but added he is
"concerned that (the students) keep
their status valid."
"If the school can act as a catalyst in
some way to assist (the students) to
achieve their educational goals, then it
is fine. I would like to do that," he said.
WHILE WEBB said he believed the
Iranian government's demand is a
"legitimate request," Heise and others
question the Iranian government's
motives behind the request.
"We don't believe the letter," Heise
said, adding that "even if we did, we
can't release the information."
Representatives for foreign student
affairs at Michigan State University
and Wayne State University did not
receive the request, but said they would
have denied it on the same grounds that
Heise did.
"IT COULD be legitimate, but even if
it is legitimate, there are a lot of
Iranian students here who do not agree
with the current (Iranian) gover-
nment," said August Benson, director
of MSU's Office of International
Students and Scholars.
The chances of any legal action
against EMU are slim, according to
John Robichaud, coordinator of gover-
nment relations for the National
Association for Foreign Student Af-
fairs.
The Buckley Amendment "provides a
certain degree of flexibility,"
Robichaud said. It can be used to
protect an institution's right not to
release information, but can also be
used to support those who release in-
formation.
"To some degree, (the decision) is
the perogative of the University," he
said.
nuclear explosions above ground, un-
derwater, and in space. If the ban were
extended to underground tests as well,
the superpowers' ability to develop new
warheads would be sharply curtailed.
The three governments' Geneva
negotiators reportedly were making
steady progress toward such a blanket
ban when -the new Reagan ad-
ministration suspended the talks two
years ago while it reviewed U.S.
nuclear-arms policy.
The subject is still being discussed
here in the Committee on Disar-
mament, a 40-nation United Nations
body. But those negotiations bog down
repeatedly in procedural disputes.
MEANWHILE, the American
delegation steers the committee
discussions to the issue of
verification-whether the Soviet Union
will relent in its long-standing op-
position to mandatory, on-site inspec-
tion by outside observers to ensure that
tests are not conducted secretly.
"It's filibustering," said Yugolav
delegate Miodrag Mihajlovic, who has
been involved in Geneva disarmament
negotiations for 15 years. "Whenever
you want to drag out the talks, you
bring out the verification issue."
One Western diplomat, who asked not
to be identified, said the West even-
tually may have to "work with" the
latest Soviet verification proposals,
which would provide for a system of
voluntary on-site inspections.
Victor Issraelyan, head of the Soviet
delegation on the Committee, says a
test ban can never be negotiated in
isolation.
"THE international climate is hin-
dering progress," he said.
