Bush says allies united on nuclear arms policy
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Vice President George Bush returned from a 12-day tour of Europe yesterday, saying his discussions with allied leaders have "lowered the level of mis-understanding" about President Reagan's commitment to nuclear arms reduction.
Arriving at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland from London, Bush told reporters his trip to seven countries and the Vatican as Reagan's emissary was "an exhausting but extremely gratifying journey."
Bush said he would tell Reagan at a meeting Friday that "his 'quest' for peace, for nuclear arms reductions and bedrock commitment to defending our democratic values are strongly shared by our friends in Europe."
SECRETARY OF STATE George Shultz also flew home to Washington yesterday from Tokyo, and will report on his mission to China with Kyryl Sorota.
The vice president declared the Western alliance "strongly united" and reaffirmed NATO's resolve to defend its allies. The Allies were Pershing II and cruise missiles in
Europe in December, if there is no agreement with the Russians on an arms control treaty.
"In this," he said, "we are united and firm."
Reagan sent Bush to Western Europe to strengthen allied support for his arms policies, especially his "zero option" for eliminating intermediarange missiles from Europe, as well as to blunt a Soviet propaganda blitz aimed at Europe's active peace movement.
FOLLOWING HIS DISCUSSIONS with political leaders, including some from opposition parties, in West Germany, the Netherlands, Brussels, Switzerland, Italy, France and England. Mr. Bush has met Russian negotiators in Geneva, Bush said;
"I hope there's more understanding about our commitment to the arms reduction side," he hopes. "We have to understand that may have existed before the trip."
"I think we did some good in that regard," he said.
'I insisting that Reagan has seized "the high moral ground" in proposing the zero option, Bush said. 'We are submitted as anybody to arms reduction'
Director says KJHK to serve all students
Blacks in Communications alleges bias
The program director of KJJK yesterday denied allegations that the station did not play enough minority music.
By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
Earlier this week in Student Senate hearings, officials from Blacks in communications had said the station was biased against blacks.
Earlier this week, Joe Lewis Jr., president of Blacks in Communications, told a Senate Finance and Auditing Committee that KJHK did not adequately serve the needs of black students because it did not play enough music. The committee was considering KJHK during budget hearings.
But Kim Bue, the director, said kJIBu did a good job serving the needs of our community.
LEWIS, EAST ST. LOUIS, III., junior, said his group had applied for special programming on KJHK last
"We play jazz, blues and reggae music as well as progressive rock," she
A commercial radio station picks a format and bases its programming on that format, he said, and KJHJ is just another radio station in that respect.
November but had been denied a show.
Only three of the station's 168 hours of
programming each week are oriented
toward black music, he said.
Bui said the station played soul music throughout the week in addition to a three-hour soul show every Sunday.
Dale Gadd, KJHK's faculty adviser,
said the station was a training laboratory
and the product of the training was
to serve the student community.
Most black record companies open in the same way, she said.
BUE SAID TONY SMALLS, vice president of Blacks in Communications, submitted a request last November for special programming for the group on the back of his application to be a disco jockey at the station.
"We're really talking about taste," she said. "Your taste happens to be pairable."
GADD SAID KJIKB provided better service to the public than most radio stations in the area because although the station's format is progressive
KJIK is a student radio station trying to play music for all students while maintaining some semblance of format, she said.
November but had been denied a show
rock, its weekend programming tries to satisfy other tastes.
Earlier this week, Lewis had said the station did not subscribe to any black record labels so it was forced to buy music if it wanted to play blaxk music.
Record companies send the station albums that the music director requests or that they think the station will play, she said.
She said she told him she didn't know now fair it would be to give a program to her.
Bue said KJHK did not subscribe to any record labels.
"We have begged Motown for years to service us, but they're on a tight budget and can't afford to service college radio stations," she said.
The group will work with the Senate to work into the possibility of bias at KJHK.
Lewis said the group was trying to set up a meeting with Buie and Gadd to discuss the possibility of increasing black programming this semester.
"But if they were unhappy about our decision not to give them special programming, they should have talked to Dr. Gadd right away," she said. "It's not fair that they've waited so long to bring it up."
Gadd said KJHK aired a black news
GADD SAID, "FM for a Blacks in Communications program. If they had talked to me, they probably would have learned that, and there wouldn't be any problem."
and events show two years ago, but the
show was discontinued because there were
not enough students interested in
producing it.
Blaie said if she had known of the previous program, she might have seen it.
Tom Berger, graduate student student,
said he was trying to get a variety
of people together to hear what Lewis
had to say before taking further action.
