Ex-CIA chief discusses U.S. foreign policy
By Jeff Suggs
Kansan staff writer
A former director of the Central Intelligence Agency said last night that the United States must rethink its current foreign policy.
Adm. Stansfield Turner, head of the CIA from 1977 to 1981 during the Carter administration, spoke on the future of U.S. foreign policy to about 200 people in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
Many U.S. assumptions about foreign policy date back to World War II and are simply outdated, Turner said. The world has changed and the United States is no longer the dominant power it once was, he said. The changes in American diplomacy with other countries its foreign policy to succeed.
"It's because of the fact that Marxism has failed." Turner said.
He said the Soviet Union's relationship with the United States and others is changing. The Soviet Union has been and could continue to be less of a threat to the United States, Turner said. But he added that the relaxation of tensions between the two superpowers was not because of the reform-minded Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev.
The major concern within the Soviet Union is to find solutions to its growing economic problems, Turner said. This may be why the Soviets are withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and pursuing nuclear reduction treaties with the United States, he said.
Despite the lessening of aggressiveness by the Soviets, Turner said, the United States should never totally trust them.
The U.S. role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should change, Turner said. In the early days of NATO, the United States was economically superior to its European partners, he said. But now the European countries share a combined gross national product greater than

that of the United States. It is time for those countries to increase their involvement both economically and militarily to protect Western Europe, he said.
"They are going to have to take a greater share of the burden of the defense of Europe," he said. "We are paying more than our share."

economically. "We are today in one economic boat," he said.
The United States should play a larger economic role in aiding Third World countries, Turner said. Economic assistance to the Third World would add to the global demand which would enable them to buy more U.S. exports.
The old notion that U.S. citizens are loved and respected throughout the world has definitely changed in an international terrorism. Turkey said.

U. S. cooperation with other countries is vital to the future of U.S. foreign policy in all areas, Turner said.
"To obtain international cooperation in all the areas, the United States is going to act differently than in the past," he said.

Protest
Sororities fraternities will revive newspaper
By Kim Lightle
Yoran staff writer
Kansan staff writer
KU fraternity and sorority members are trying to revive another greek tradition on campus.
Beginning next fall, the newspaper Greek Columns will resume publication.
Charles Wheeler, Overland Park junior, and Suzanne Parsonage, Omaha, Neb., junior, are editors of *The New Yorker*, which will focus on the greek system.
The newspaper will be co-sponsored by the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic, said Yngwir Bryan, vice president for public relations.
"It's going to be a paper that's set aside for the needs of the Greek system" Brynldissen said. "It will mean that you can't take it forward for the Kansan to fulfil."
The first issue was scheduled to come out May 2, but printing problems forced that issue to be delayed. Brynidlsen said the printer they had planned to use could not print the tabloid-style newspaper.
The newspaper will be a revival of a newspaper that existed from 1972 to 1980. During that period, the greek paper had several names including Forum, Greek Columns and the KU Greek.
Brynldssen said the newspaper would focus on issues of interest to members of the greek system. Some of the stories they have considered writing about are acquaintance or date rape and Greek alcohol policies such as dry mash. There also will be a publication of articles such as pinning and engagements.
IFC and Panellenble will pay for the initial publishing costs, which have been estimated at $1,100 to $1,200. However, the newspaper's financial eventually would be financed poly through advertisements.
The newspaper's editors said they were considering paying people to contribute articles, but no amount has been decided on yet.
Stereo company faces complaints Buyers of low-quality speakers may get their money back
Kansan staff writer
By Ric Brack
A sour stereo speaker dealer that knocked some students' pocketbooks out of tune during the past few weeks may end on a sweet note, according to officials with the Kansas attorney general's office.
Several University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents who bought stereo speakers from salesmen that Lawrence police said were representing Atlantic Airlines and the general's office. They have learned that they may have legal grounds to recover the money they paid for the speakers
Neil Weoerman, chief of staff at the attorney general's office, said the possibility existed because of the misleading sales pitch used and the possibility that the salesmen misrepresented
The salesmen of Atlantic Sound could face charges of consumer fraud or theft by deception, Woerman said. He said that it would be a few more days before these charges were honored on the chargers' charge could be filed.
Bill Phillips, who identified himself as an assistant at Atlantic Sound, said yesterday that the company was a wholesaler that provided merchandise to independent contractors. He said that the company also provided vans to salesmen who sell merchandise on consignment for the company
"If there are any problems, the contractors
themselves should be charged," Phillips said. "If the customers have any problems, we will take care of them."
According to some students who bought stereo speakers, the sales pitch from salesmen representing Atlantic Sound went like this: Two salesmen with a vault of speakers claimed that they were delivering speakers to some well-known Kansas City area bars. They had receipts to prove the bars had purchased the speakers for more than $1,500 a pair.
Spokesmen for the bars in question said last week that they had not purchased speakers and that they had never heard of Atlantic Sound.
that they had never heard of the students. The salesmen told the students that too many pairs of speakers had been accidentally loaded on their van that day, and they offered to sell the extra speakers, as stolen merchandise, at a greatly reduced price.
Jordan Aron, Wilmette, Ill., junior, said he and a friend each paid $250 a pair for the speakers. But when they got the speakers home and inspected them, they found that the speakers had low-quality components and that some components were missing.
"They were just loud. Another student, Steve Pennid, Kansas City, Katy Freshman, said he penned $500 for a pair of speakers from salesmen who used the same sales pitch.
"They were just trash." Aron said.
Aron said that about three days after he bought his speakers, he saw the same men making a sale to some neighbors at Sunrise Village apartments, Sixth and Gateway streets, where he lives, and he called the police.
pollice Police said they found that the men didn't have a permit to sell in Lawrence. They were issued a warning and told to get a permit.
Later, the two men were caught again, still selling and still without a permit. They received tickets and notices to appear in municipal court on charges of selling without a permit.
Lawrence police both men said they worked for Atlantic Sound. The van they were driving and one other van also seen selling stereo speakers in Lawrence were registered to Atlantic Sound.
Woerman said it was a violation of the consumer code to tell potential customers that the speakers were part of a load destined for the bars in Kansas City if that was not true.
Detective Don Krone of the Lenessa police department said that he went to Atlantic Sound late last week to talk to the proprietors and tell them that he had heard of complaints against their company. He said that so far, there have been no complaints filed against the company by Lenessa residents, but Krone said he didn't know whether they were attempting to sell there.
Krone said he had seen six vans at the company's Lenene facility.
Legislative session to wrap up budget
The Legislature took first adjournment two weeks ago, while conference committees worked to iron out problems in many bills, including the Board of Regents budget.
A conference committee on April 16 recommended financing 83 percent of the Margin of Excellence, the Regents three-year plan to increase budgets for its schools to 95 percent of those for its peer institutions.
