Soviet expert sees regression
Rv Carol B. Shinev
Kansan staff writer
The Soviet Union could succeed with its economic and social transformations, but some regression is likely, a KU professor said last night.
"There are some very dangerous things afoot, as well as some hopeful," said Leslie Dienes professor of geography and Soviet and East European studies.
"I came not to bury perestroika, but I did not come to praise it either," Dienes said. "There is a long road ahead and there will be many reversals."
Dienes spoke to about 60 people at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., on economic and social change in the Soviet Union. His lecture was the second in a three-part program of public talks on world political changes sponsored by the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and other Lawrence organizations.
Dienes said that in 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost, or openness, and perestroika, or restructuring, became a force. Gorbachev introduced a set of gradual economic changes including switching industry to a wholesale system and converting enterprises to a self-financing basis.
One result of the changes was that the consumer goods industry began shifting to high-priced goods, Dienes said.
"The consumers began to be frustrated, which was enhanced by the explosive growth of the Black

Market." he said.
Dissatisfaction with the changes led to *a* return to the former economic system last December, Dienes said.
He said another reason he was not optimistic about the short-term chances for perestroika was because of internal nationality strifes.
During commentary after Dienes' lecture, Fran McNellis, teacher at Lawrence High School, said all of the economic policies before Gorbachev had failed.
Chinese lead foreign enrollment stats
Dienes said Gorbachev, who was born and raised in Russia, had not handled the conflicts very well and would have to pay for that in the future.

Special to the Kansan
For the second consecutive semester, Chinese students make up the largest segment of foreign students at the University of Kansas.
Of the 1,831 foreign students, 203, or about 11 percent, are from the people's Republic of China, according to the Office of Foreign Student Services. Students from countries in the Far East, including China, Japan, and South Korea, make up 33 percent of the foreign students.
Clark Coan, director of the office,
said Friday that a large number of
students were from the Far East
because the most populated countries
in the world were in the Far East. The educational institutions in
those countries were unable to accommodate all of those wanting to get a degree, he said.
Although a student may have a large university in his city, that university may not offer a degree in computer science, so that the student wants, Coan said.
Xue Chang Li, Shanghai, China, junior said, "I came to the United States to study English and engineering because the educational level was higher."
Li is part of the growing population of Chinese students at KU. The number has more than doubled since 1986 when there were 97 Chinese students.
"That could change very quickly if their government decides to react against our support of the students in Tiananmen Square last summer."
Coan said. "They could cut off the supply very quickly, or they could put some limitations such as they have been threatening to do."
Li said he thought that the Chinese government would place limitations on students who wanted to leave China to study.
Coan has been working with KU's foreign students since 1957 and is reluctant to predict trends.
Coan said that every situation was different, and things could change at any time.
"At one time during the 1970s, we had 275 Iranian students," he said. "But then we broke off diplomatic relations with them and the numbers dropped."
KU now has 63 Iranian students.
Greek houses nearing fire code compliance
By Sandra Moran
Kansan staff writer
Charges for violations of fire codes against two KU fraternities and one sorority were dismissed Friday, the city prosecutor said.
Tom Porter, Lawrence city prosecutor, said the charges against fraternities Theta Chi, 1011 Missouri St.; Alpha Kappa Lambda, 2021 Stewart Ave.; and sorority Sigma Kappa, 1325 West Campus Rd., were dismissed because the houses completed changes needed for compliance with city fire codes.
Eight houses were charged in November 1989 after fire code violations were discovered by Lawrence Fire Department officials.
Court dates for three other houses have been rescheduled. The new date for Phi Kappa Theta, 1941 Stewart Ave., is April 5. The date for Acacia, 1000 Indiana St., and Phi Kappa Psi, 1602 West 15th St., is April 27.
"At that time, we'll be putting in sprinkler systems," Blonguez said. "At that time, we'll be in full compliance."
Jon Bleongwicz, corporation board president for Phi Kappa Psi, said the fraternity planned to close the house during the summer for renovation.
He said the fraternity's corporation board applied for a continuance in order to give it more time to comply with the regulations.
Porter said defendants usually
he said the fire marshal would reinspect the houses before the cases would be dropped.
were given a continuance if they applied. If the fraternities comply with the codes, the cases against them will be dropped.
Members of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, 1116 Indiana Place, failed to appear for their court date Friday. Porter said. Though a warrant usually is issued for missed trial dates, he said no warrant would be issued for Alpha Epsilon Pi.
He said that there was probably a good reason for the missed date and that efforts were being made to contact the fraternity to set a new court date.
