BEJIING — Chinese officials yesterday asked Defense Secretary Frank C. Carliucci to press the Reagan administration to allow United States forces to space aboard its missiles
Carlucci, who is visiting China for the first time, met for more than three hours yesterday with National Defense Minister Qin Jiwan. He also met with the president of Premier Li Peng and Vice President Wu Xueqiang. A Senior Defense Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Carlucci said he will discuss about Chinese arms sales to nations in the Middle East - a sore point in Sino-American relations.
The Reagan Administration is considering whether to grant licenses to export U.S.-made satellites to China, where they would be launched aboard the so-called Long March boosters.
Hughes satellites, said Don O'Neal, director of communications for the Hughes Space and Comms Lab at NASA.

"There are rumors (the launches from China) might be as much as 30 percent cheaper" than the French company "shuttle programs, O'Neal said. He said that he expects a speculate on the exact costs of Chinese launches.
The U.S. shuttle program was sidelined by the Iraqi military challenge in Jan. 26, 1986 in which all seven people killed by a bomb.
O'Neal said Hughes was applying for a license for two of the telecommunications satellites bought by the Australian company Aussat. He said the satellites were owned by Hughes until they were launched under a "delivery in orbit" contract with the Australian company.

No present student in personnel administration will be denied an opportunity to receive their degree." Carothers said.

Dryure predicted that most of the students who are now unable to become personnel administration staff are placed in the four participating departments.
"There will be an appreciable number of majors who will have to be accommodated somewhere," Drury said.
David Smith, an Overland Park senior who is majoring in personnel administration said that it was a need for change that could see a need for some changes.
Expanding the programs within each department is a possibility, Carothers said.
"I think they should offer something like it," Smith said. "There's more to it than a general liberal arts major, but (they) need to come up with some more core classes. There are too many choices."
