6 Tuesday, February 24, 1976 University Dally Kansan Russians try to end stereotypes By KAREN LEONARD Soviet tourists spent the weekend in desserts trying to understand American students' lives with a Live Ship. "We don't want to convert them. We just want them to look at us with open eyes and not through someone else's words." George Marnedo, a tour member and specialist in international relations at the Moscow Institute for U.S. Studies, said Sunday. Mamedov and the group's leader, Valery Sidorov, talked about their trip to the United States and commented on U.S.-Soviet relations. Mamedov, who speaks fluent English, began as an interpreter for Sidorov, but became impatient. He finally answered the questions himself with Sidorov's approval. MAMEDOV, Sidorov and 28 other Soviet tourists were in Lawrence over the weekend on the first leg of their two week tour of the United States. Mamedov said he thought the Americans he had talked with were generally surprised to find that the Soviets were as open and willing to answer questions as they were. "Unfortunately, we haven't been asked many, primitive, anti-Soviet medieval ones." But he said that he found that Americans stereotyped the Soviet Union as a "cowardly country," and courses started out with that preconceived notion. He said studies of the Soviet government were sometimes under the Course title of "A survey of totalitarian countries." Another thing Americans have the wrong idea about is wheat, Mamedov said. Americans have been led to believe that refusing to sell grain to the Soviet Union would cause great hardships in that country, he said. But the Soviets do have a reserve when the crops are poor, he said, and the corn and other grains purchased from the United States are used for cattle feed. The grain isn't a necessity but is simply useful to improve the people's food supply, and then more meat in their meals, he said. MAMEDEV said that as nuclear powers the United States and the Soviet Union "have a special responsibility to keep our planet alive and well." The Soviet government has never believed in the export of revolution, he said. "How you build socialism in your country is very, very own interest, affair." he said. The final goal of communism is happiness for all mankind or, as it is written in the Bible, for all mankind. He can even each through the happiness of all and the happiness of all through the happiness of each," Mamedov said. He said that such a future could well be accomplished through the happiness of all. If there is a conservative faction in the United States that opposes defense, there is no such faction in the Soviet Union. Numedov said. "The Soviet people still remember the 20 million Soviet士兵 that died during WW II, so we think you can never fight hard enough for peace," he said. MAMEDOV DID, however, express concern over U.S.-Red China defense He said that although he favored improved U.S.-R.D. Chinese relations, they shouldn't be used against the Soviet Union, Cuba or any other country. Some people have been critical of President Gerald R. Ford because he has not exploited the differences between the Soviet Union and Red China, Mamedov said, but actually this has been a positive step towards universal detente. Along with detente, Mamedov said, the SALT talks have demonstrated a new TONIGHT: STATE SEN. ARDN BOOTH, R-Lawrence, will speak to the College Republicans at 7 in the Council Room of the Kansas Union. The CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION will meet at 6:30 in Danforth Chapel. SHERRY KLOSS, violinist and winner of the sixteenth Sterling Staff Incampus CRUSADE at 8 in Swainshott Recital Hall. DUWRood Auditorium at 2:30, 4, 7 and 8:30. Events... Announcements . . .

Interested students contact David Darwin, assistant professor of civil engineering, in 2008 Learned Hall. degree of confidence between the Soviet Union and the United States. He said that it was the core of security between the two nations. Although the fact that the talks are being conducted is significant, Mamedov said, limiting the spread of new technology is a needed part of the final agreement. He said his government began helping the Angolan liberation movement when it first began in 1961, but it was suppressed by the Portuguese forces. Now the situation in Portugal has made a successful national liberation movement in North Africa. IF RESEARCH into new weapons isn't limited, Martesov said, then the SALT talks are underway. HE SAID that persons were chosen for the tour on the basis of their work record, education background, skills of workers, and their political activity. Whether they were responsible citizens and whether they participated in summer activities in project projects was also considered, he said. Russian studies person tab and the tourists provided their own pocket money. The oldest member of the group is 30. One All of the members of the tour group either belong to or work in the Komsomol. Some also belong to the Communist Party. Half of them are students and the others are members of various professions, Sidorov said. From page one Sidorov said the Soviet government was short of foreign currency and would like to start a tourist exchange program on a noncurrency basis. group member said he looked young, but actually wearing a toupee just to fool people. He aid that the Soviet government had tried to work out an even trade of tourists that wouldn't involve currency, but added that because the cost of living in the United States generally higher, the U.S. Tourist Agency would lose money in such an exchange.
