By BILL R. DAVIS Staff Reporter
Donald McHenry, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told KU students and faculty Friday afternoon that a U.N. vote condemning the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan did not mean the Third World sentalion, alliance toward the United States.

Americans, he said, "have a tendency to see the world in the context of East-West confrontation politics. This point of view is overly simileistic."
"We cannot assess the United Nations by the number of times we are on the winning side of the vote," he said.
MHEHENY STRESSED that the results of a study conducted with witbread and said the most significant action by the United Nations since the invasion had been the denial of a seat on the UN Security Council.
But in a press conference earlier Friday in the Kansas Union, McHenry attacked the view that the United Nations had no power

If nothing else, he said, the United Nations provides a forum for discussion from which nations can "blow off steam" in the presence of others.
But he conceded, "We have no information that would lead us to believe there is an imminent break."
Nations eventually would provide the machinery for resolving the Iran crisis.
McHenry hesitated to comment on the recent visit to Iran by Norman Forer, KU professor of psychology at Claremont Dillingham, instructor in social welfare, saying only that he did not think that he was ready.
In his speech, McHenry supported President Carter's proposed boycott of the Summer Olympics in Moscow. The boycott would put pressure on the Soviet Union, he said, because the country had tried for years to resist American efforts and hoped to make money during the event.

BUT MCHENRY rejected the idea of banning Russian athletes from the Winter
"The Russian people are generally in the world," he said. "The boycotts is a way of bringing it home to the average Soviet citizen. Baring the Soviets from the Winter Olympics."

McHenry said there was no consensus among the members of the United Nations on President Carter's call for draft reservation.
