Dr. Longin Pastusiak, deputy director of the Research Institute on Contemporary Capitalism in Warsaw, was scheduled to speak on the origins, nature and impact of the Polish crisis Friday at 8:30 a.m. in Rudder Theater. Marcin Sar, a Polish scholar who has been in the United States at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York City since December, will replace Pastusiak. The 27th Student Conference on National Affairs begins today with a keynote address by Richard Allen, former U.S. national security advis er, at 2:45 p.m. in Rudder Auditorium. Becker heard Tuesday through the Soviet Embassy in Washington that Pastusiak had been denied visa clearance by the U.S. Department of State. Becker then phoned the Office for Eastern European Affairs in Washington and verified Pas- tusiak’s visa denial. She was told the decision had been an “upper- level one” — the reason being one of reciprocity inasmuch as the Polish government is not allowing American citizens to travel around and speak freely (in Poland); therefore, the U.S. state department will not allow a Polish lecturer to come from abroad and speak in America on Soviet topics. The Battalion was unable to reach state depart ment officials for comment late Tuesday. Terry Quirk, SCONA committee chairman, said she called Congressman Phil Gramm’s office and spoke with his administrative assistant to find out what Texas A&M’s chances are of appealing the state department’s decision. Quirk said Gramm’s office told her it would be nearly impossible. “The most upsetting thing about it is that we were suffering from idealism because we were attempting to get Pastusiak here to present his country’s perspective and our own state depart ment has stifled that attempt,” Quirk said. “It appears that we’re powerless to do anything about it.” Allen will present the first of five keynote addres ses, focusing on the Western perspective of Soviet foreign policy. Pavelo Pavlov, will present the Soviet perspective on Soviet foreign policy Thursday at 8:30 a.m. in Rudder Theater. He is the first secretary of the Soviet embassy in Washington D.C. Pavlov replaces Vadim Kuznetsov, who was ori ginally scheduled to speak. Kuznetsov, first secret ary of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, has been recalled to Moscow. Ear’s will be the third keynote address. The fourth keynote address will be given by Dr. Roger E. Kanet, professor of political science at the University of Illinois, Friday at 1:30 p.m. in Rudder Theater. Kanet will discuss Soviet policy in Africa and Latin America. The dosing address will be given by Peter Osnos, foreign editor of the Washington Post, Saturday at 1 1 a.m. He will discuss Soviet-American relations in the 1980s and the “new cold war.” SCONA, held for the first time in 1955, is de signed to bring students together to present their respective views on topics of international import ance and interest, said Christy Hanby, SCONA vice chairman for publicity. Student delegates from Mexico, Canada, Guate mala, West Germany and the Dominican Republic are among the international conference partici pants. High school students from around Texas and 19 Texas A&M students also will participate as delegates. See related editorial page 2 After each keynote address, delegates will parti cipate in round table discussions in the Memorial Student Center and in Rudder Tower. During round table sessions, delegates will voice their views on topics discussed in the keynote addresses but won’t try to reach any conclusions, Hanby said. Round table discussions, as well as the keynote addresses, will be open to the public; however, observers at the round tables will not be permitted to participate in the delegates’ discussions. Hanby said the SCONA committee encourages the student body to get involved in SCONA. SCONA schedule of events Reagan blames inflation on Fed United Press International mtem WASHINGTON — President ial6S appKf Reagan today blamed the recession Hi can HlJtlipd Other economic ills partly on the Federal Reserve and urged the agen cy to control the money supply more evenly. In his annual economic message to .ongress, Reagan urged the inde- ndent Fed to follow “a policy of [tadual and less volatile reduction in he growth of the money supply.” Said Reagan: “Unfortunately, the je Of '••"Tliigh and volatile money growth of the ipetitiV6S<;j»ast, and the high inflation and high jrofit-Sl®! interest rates which accompanied it, ilable - ' vere instrumental in bringing about . n i4 pie poor and highly uneven economic f ' an pife-feifonnance of 1980 and 1981, cul- 6 re an ] Ininaung j n a sharp fall in output and a rise in unemployent in the latter months of 1981.” Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers, in an accompanying report, i&uggested several ways to improve .3monetary policy, including setting loney supply targets by law or consti tutional amendment. The president said deficits pro jected in 1983 budget he sent Con gress this week are undesirably high but they “will not jeopardize the eco nomic recovery.” Fie said his economic policies “are the appropriate response to our cur rent difficulties and will provide the basis for a vigorous economic recov ery this year.” Reagan’s message came the same day Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker was reporting to Congress the Fed’s money targets for this year. In contrast to Reagan, Volcker has said deficits approaching $100 billion could slow recovery. The administra tion projects a 1983 deficit of $91.5 billion. The report made clear the admi nistration supports the Fed’s policy of slow money growth to fight inflation. In fact, this is a main part of Reagan’s plan. But it criticized the Fed for allowing the money supply to fluctu ate too much from the targets. It called for more cooperation be tween the administration, Congress and the Fed.

Dr. Charles E. McCandless, for mer associate vice president for academic affairs, is acting as interim for new vice president vice president for academic affairs. A committee created by Texas A&M President Frank E. Vandiver is conducting the initial search to find a candidate to fill the vacancy. Student Body President Ken John son, a member of the search commit tee, said: “There are various things the search committee is looking for including a wide range of abilities and experiences, excellent administrative skills and knowledge of what a land grant university is. “The candidate should also be a recognized academician and have the ability to relate to students, faculty and people outside the University.” The jobof vice president for acade mic affairs is probably the most far- reaching job on campus, Johnson said. He or she should be directly available to anyone concerned with Texas A&M — students, faculty, administration and people outside the University. Committee Chairman Clinton A. Phillips, dean of faculties, said the University placed advertisements for the position in the Chronicle of High er Education. In addition, letters de scribing the position were sent to the presidents of every major university See McCANDLESS page 20 Cardinal Cody to retire from Chicago archdiocese site 8° 5 StatW 6-4771 United Press International CHICAGO — Cardinal John P. Cody, under federal investigation to determine if he diverted more than Si million in church funds to a woman friend, will resign as head of the 2.5 million-member Roman Catholic archdiocese Dec. 24, his office announced. The Rev. Msgr. Francis A. Brack- | en, Vicar General of the archdiocese, Tuesday told 80 diosesan senators of | Cody’s plan to retire on his 75th birth day, the press secretary for the reli- ! gious body said. Marion O’Neill said Cody, who has | a history of diabetes and heart trouble and recently was released from a hos pital, will submit his resignation to PopeJohn Paul II, who must accept it. Canon law urges prelates to resign by the time they reach 75. Cody was named archbishop of Chicago June 16, 1965, by Pope Paul VI. The U.S. Attorney’s office has been investigating the cardinal’s financial dealings to determine if he diverted more than $1 million in tax-exempt church funds to Helen Dolan Wilson, a long-time friend. Wilson, 74, is related to Cody, who has been hospitalized six times in a little over a year, by marriage only. A federal grand jury in January 1981 subpoenaed both Cody’s and Wilson’s personal records. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Cody had arranged jobs for Wil son in the St. Louis and Chicago dio ceses, named her beneficiary of his $100,000 insurance policy and gave her a $100,000 home in Boca Raton, Fla. Haig says NATO united against Polish military rule United Press International MADRID, Spain — Secretary of State Alexander Haig praised a “very dear and full Western unity” today and said the NATO allies were never more united than they are against military rule in Poland. At an airport news conference be fore leaving for Portugal and subse quently Morocco and Romania, Haig denied there are differences within the Western alliance over the Polish situation and sanctions against War saw and Moscow. At Tuesday’s resumption of the Madrid conference on European Security and Cooperation, Haig led the western attack on Poland’s martial law rulers, warning there will be no business as usual while repression continues. Haig told reporters the United States views with great concern West European natural gas imports from the Soviet Union because it does not want to see its Western partners be come dependent on energy supplies from the East. “We hope our European partners will cancel or scale down the project,” he said at the press conference. During a 4-and-a-half-hour assault Tuesday on Poland’s military rulers, Haig said, “A forcible suppression of the Polish search for dignity in the workplace, for freedom and for self determination is under way. “The generals of this war against the Polish people are none other than the Polish regime itself, acting under the instigations and coercion of the Soviet Union,” he said. Haig accused Poland’s delegate of using his position as chairman to de lay the western attack by juggling the speaking order and cutting short the meeting. In reply to a question, he agreed there is a connection between the negotiations on use of military bases in Spain and the U.S. aid program for Spain shortly to be presented to Con gress. He said he expects negotations on the bases to be concluded in May. Haig said he had extremely pro ductive discussions with Spanish lead ers on bilateral issues. “I emphasize that the United States is committed to the democratic process in Spain,” he said. inside Classified 12 Local 3 Local/State 4 National 14 Opinions 2 Sports 17 State 5 State/National 12 What’s Up 20 forecast Today’s forecast: Mostly cloudly and breezy; high in the low-50s, low tonight near 30.
