.S., Soviet ideals
onflict over detente

The differences in what the Soviet
Jnion and the United States each
■peris from detente have limited
; success of disarmament efforts

a said Friday. Hansen spoke at a
armament seminar sponsored by
; Center for Strategic Technology
Rudder Tower.
llhe United States has tried to
lake detente “a real relaxing of ten
sions,’ Hansen said, while the
oviet concept of detente “is to sup-

To the Soviets, detente is just one

were no longer concerned with the
fate of the SALT II treaty, the
Soviets were free to protect their
hold on Afghanistan, he said.
Hansen predicted that the
U.S.S.R. will consolidate its posi
tion and not make any more aggres
sive moves for a while.
“They underestimated the world
opposition to their moves, and as
trite as it may seem to you and I, the
Olympics in Moscow is a very im
portant thing to them,” Hansen
said.
The SALT II treaty is not the only
area where there has been difficulty
in anns limitation talks between the
United States and the Soviet Union,
he said. Hansen is personally in
volved with the Mutual Balanced
Force Reduction talks, or MBFR.
He will be leaving Tuesday to par
ticipate in talks in Vienna.
The major difficulty in MBFR is
the idea of “balanced” forces, Han
sen said. To achieve parity in
Europe, the Soviets wovdd have to
withdraw more troops than the
United States, because they have
more troops there to begin with,
Hansen said.
The Soviets have not agreed to
this idea. Another problem in the
talks is technical: the way the
United States and the Soviets count
troops give them different totals.
iVorld champ at mall

World champion free-throw shoo-
r Ted St. Martin challenged
lassersby to compete with him at
lanor East Mall Friday and Satur-
lay.
St. Martin competed against any-
me wishing to shoot. Those beating
it. Martin earned either a basket-
lall or shirt; those tying him won a
:ap as part of a promotion for the
nail.
St. Martin lost two matches early
?riday, one to a Bryan High School
lasketball player, Jeff Garrett.
St. Martin, 44, holds the world
record for consecutive free throws at
1,036 in four hours.
His other records include 117
goals in five minutes and 238 goals
in 10 minutes.
He began shooting baskets for
enjoyment around age 9. “I would
shovel snow away from the goal to
shoot,” he said.
St. Martin said he began shooting
professionally, for promotions,
alxrut eight years ago. He said that
he chose free-throw shooting for
demonstration because all basket
ball players must shoot free throws.
St. Martin said he watches the
back of the rim and visualizes the
arc of the ball.
“I put just a little backspin on the
ball,” he said, “Backspin gives a soft
touch. I can tell the second it leaves
my hands whether it is good or not.
Concentration is the most important
thing.
Kids earn money for Rehab Center
By JANA SIMS
City Reporter
There will be some fourth
through 12th graders on the Aggie
bench at the Texas A&M-Rice game
on February 9. But don’t worry —
basketball coach Shelby Metcalf
hasn’t changed his recruiting
guidelines. The kids are winners of
the Basketball Shoot-Out sponsored
by the Bryan-College Station Eve
ning Optimist Club.
Held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
January 19, the Shoot-Out was one
of many statewide contests planned
by Easter Seals. The profits made at
the local Shoot-Out will go to the
Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Cen
ter.
Students in Brazos Valley schools
were allowed to participate. They
gathered pledges from citizens for
money to be given for each basket
made at the Shoot-Out. Then
Saturday, each student went to one
of six school gyms and shot as many
baskets as possible in three minutes.
Some made as many as 70 baskets.
One of the prizes offered to the
boy, girl and school who turn in the
most money by the January 31 dead
line is a seat on the Aggie bench at
the February 9 game.
Dorothy Kinard, secretary of the
Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Cen
ter, said the Brazos Valley Shoot-
Out had to get special permission to
compete for seats at the Aggie
game.
Jim Thompson, executive direc
tor of the Rehabilitation Center,
said Coach Metcalf arranged for
winners to sit on the bench and
helped make radio and TV commer
cials for the Shoot-Out. Thompson
said Metcalf also sent letters to local
Both Kinard and Thompson were
disappointed in the small turnout of
students at the Shoot-Outs. They at
tributed it to competition with a
skate-a-thon held on the same day
and the fact that schools in sur
rounding counties can hold compe
tition during school,
schools and P. E. teachers asking for
participation.
