"It is easy for those of us who have lived in the Soviet Union and talked to each other and seen them, to say that the Soviets in many ways act out of insecurity," he said.
"It is very hard for those who do not know much about the Soviets, seeing all these guns being produced, to say, 'Are they insecure?' I must understand that these factors exist side by side."
The increase in Soviet military ac-complishments, he said, had made the Soviets more able to
But at the same time it has made them equally insecure, he said, because they find they have an adversary relationship with every other major power in the world.
Mikkelsen said this was because the United States always had an aggressive stance against the Communist ideology of the Soviet Union. He said that part of the Soviet military buildup was a response to the threats that Soviets perceived coming from the United States.
Except for a brief period during World War I, the United States has generally had an adverse relationship with the Soviet Union since the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
BUT INSECURITY about the United States is not the only reason for Soviets increasing their
nuclear weapons.
Mikkelson said Soviet expansionism was also involved. He said the Soviet's ambition was to expand Russia's territory and control.
But, he said, "I think, that if we made a sincere initiative to negotiate arms limitation and reduction, we would get a positive response from the Soviets."
"There is no government in the world that behaves on a high moral plane all the time, and yet those governments have to continue talking to each other, trading with each other and having contact with each other, or else they'll be at each other 'a throats.'"
"But that doesn't mean they would start all the way down how we want them to behave all the way around the world."
Saul said that even if the Soviets act in a way that would violate international law, the United States should still continue to take the United States' position.
"I think that even though things happen like Afghanistan or Poland, that tend to color or make negotiations difficult," he said, "we should not close up show diplomatically.
"I think the better alternative is to negotiate,
but I think we need to be careful and careful."
talking about the situation in Poland, the other human rights violations within the Soviet Union and the Soviet presence in other parts of the world. The Soviets expect us to do that."
"I don't think that we should back out of
Mikoyam said the Soviets were willing to neotiate.
"At present, the objective of curbing the arms race has gained special significance and urgency," he said, "because rapid and profound changes in military strategy in the development of military technology.
Qualitatively, there are new types of weapons-types of weapons that may make control over them and also agreed limitation extremely difficult if not impossible to establish.
"The Soviet Union is for even, stable relations with the United States, and if certain problems still arise when it attaches itself to the conference table, without resorting to threats or attempts to
pressure politically or militarily, especially those who arise that have a direct bearing on war and peace.
Guroff said the United States and the Soviet Union are in a good position to communicate more clearly with each other.
"The critical question now is that we could with the Soviets, not our credibility for building weapons, but our credibility for negotiating limitation," he said.
Contraceptive
"We must continually, in a very complicated world, say to ourselves every time we talk about foreign policy. 'There are real people on the other side of this fence.'
"These are not robot forces acting because they are possessed by the devil. They like to think of themselves as acting for the good of their people and acting out of their own convictions, however much we may disagree and dispute with them."

THE PACKAGE insert, a pamphlet that lists warnings and usage and is enclosed with every drug, states for Depa-Provera: "The relevance of Depa-Provera with respect to humans has not been established."
According to Jerry Levy, a Topека malpractice attorney, the package insert could be used as evidence in malpractice suits concerning the use of the drug.
After taking a Depo-Provera shot, Sarah began to gain weight and lose interest in sex. She also began to wonder why her friends did not already know about the drug.
Women often cease menstruating for several months and sometimes for more than a year
After two years on Depo-Provera, with a weight gain of 65 pounds (which she attributes to the drug) and a cessation of menstruation, she read in "MS Guide to Women's Health" about the side effects of Depo-Provera. The book said that there were studies to indicate it might be linked to cancer and that it had not been approved by the FDA.
when taking Depo-Provera. Doctors say that although this is not serious, it does often worry the patient.
Jack Scholl, a Hutchinson gynecologist, said it "might be difficult for the doctors and patient to know if there is another reason" for menstruation stopping.
Clinton has used Depo-Provera as a birth control for several years, he said.
LAST YEAR, Clinton began giving patients using Depo-Prova a letter which gives information on the drug. It includes a warning about irregular menstruation and warnings which also apply to control pills, including risks of vascular accidents and fetal deformities.
"In the very unlikely event that you do become pregnant while using Depo-Provera, the pregnancy should be terminated," one section reads.
It does not mention weight gain, depression, headaches or loss of sex drive. These also are associated with the pill, according to the package inserts for both drugs.
In the letter, Clinton states that Depo-Prova is also given an contraceptive at the University of Chicago.
Med Center, said that although "there may be extenuation circumstances" when it is used, Provera-Preva is not "a standard method of birth control," Med Center, and that no one "mottually uses it."
But Sterling Williams, a gynecologist at the
Clinton said Depo-Provera was not an experimental drug, but other doctors in Lawrence said they chose not to use it because of fear of malpractice suits, the irregular menstruation it sometimes caused and because they did believe it was experimental.
"ITS NOT REALLY a dangerous drug," stresses the nurse. "It is not an acceptable means of birth control."
R. A. Schweiger, a gynecologist at Watkins Hospital, said it was not used as a contraceptive there because the FDA has not approved it and creates a lot of menstrual prequalifications."
Clinton said it hadn't been approved because of politics. He said that birth control pill manufacturers had pressured the FDA not to approve it because the manufacturers would lose business if Depo-Provera was approved as a contraceptive.
George Kenter, FDA spokesman, said that
various organizations took opposing positions on the druid.
"Many women's groups agree with us, and many don't agree with us," he said.
ONE OF THE groups wary of the drug is the River City Women's Health Collective.
The collective, a Student Senate-funded organization that collects and distributes information on women's health issues, warned of side effects in a newsletter published last year.
Gail Boaill, a member of the collective, said that at this point the collective's position was that it "wants women to be more informed than they are" about the drug.
She said the collective was in the process of collecting information about the drug.
One Kansas City women's organization,
Women Organizing Women, is planning a demonstration May 1 in front of Ujohn's Kansas
Council. The event will be used by Depo-
Proversa in Third World countries.
More than 60 other countries have approved Depo-Provera as a contraceptive. It has been used in clinical studies in the United States since 1967.
Depo-Provera is manufactured by Upjohn's Belgian subsidiary for foreign markets, over
wich the FDA has no control. Although this concerns some consumer groups, former FDA commissioner Kennedy said that the "benefit-risk considerations may not be the same in other
According to Clinton, Depo-Provera is used in the United States than it is in for its approved use.
In a September letter to the Lawrence Journal-World, Clinton wrote, "There has never been any evidence that it is dangerous or that it is unsuitable as a contraceptive. It is, in fact, probably the best state-of-the-art contraceptive today in terms of safety and effectiveness."
Sarah still disagrees.
She said she considered taking action against Clinton, but believed it would be "too long and drawn out." She said she did not feel comfortable to bring people about the problems she exercised with.

"in certain ways I want to forget it," she said.
"I'll just make sure there were more wagers (taking action),"
"so I won't take action."
"I thought I was trusting somebody. I thought I was being careful. I should have asked a lot more questions."
