Hill said. “But it also depends on
how much breathing room we
give them.”
Hard-line rhetoric from the
United States only will encour
age a continued build-up of
arms by the Soviet Union, he
said.
“We must make the first
move (toward cooperation),”
Hill said.
Robertson said he believes
the Soviets already have demon
strated a softening of their fore
ign policy position through the
recent release of Polish Solidar
ity leader Lech Walesa.
Unterberger agreed that
Walesa’s release was significant
in terms of a new Soviet policy
direction. She said it was “highly
unlikely” that the timing of
Walesa’s release was coinci
dence. Unterberger said she also
was encouraged by the more
cooperative attitude demons
trated by Andropov.
“He’s indicated a more liberal
outlook toward negotiations
with the West,” she said. “He’s
even mentioned detente.”
Unterberger and Robertson
agreed with Hill that it is im
perative for the United States to
demonstrate a willingness to
compromise and negotiate with
the Soviet Union.
How likely is a redirection of
foreign policy at the top levels of
U.S. government? All the pro
fessors agreed that such a
change would be difficult.

sharp criticism of his new tac
tics,” Hill said. “That’s why any
overtures toward the Soviet Un
ion should be made quietly, with
little fanfare.”
The y.S. government should
move toward a system of milit
ary disengagement and re
newed cultural and scientific ex
changes, Hill said.
Reagan and Secretary of State
George Shultz “have an oppor
tunity to make a bold move,”
given the growing sentiment
favoring nuclear arms limita
tions, he said.
“There is a desire here and
abroad for peace, not just the
absence of war,” Hill said.
Unterberger said an astute
politician could use the growing
grass-roots support for arms
limitation to his advantage.
“I feel there is a desire for a
softening of our position here in
the U.S. and Reagan should
keep that in mind,” Unterberger^
said.
Reagan should listen to the
people in his administration
who have the expertise to help
him negotiate with the Soviets,
she said.
“Reagan should also realize
and remember that no one gets
100 percent of what they want in
any negotiaion,” she said. “He
must be willing to make some
real compromises.”
Robertson said the Soviet Un
ion is moving toward a more
subtle, sophisticated foreign
policy, one to which United
States is not accustomed.
“The biggest problem for the
U.S. lies with our NATO allies,”
he said. “If our leaders can’t deal
safisfactorily with the Soviet Un
ion, the western alliance will
likely be fragmented.”
Reagan’s recent lifting of
Soviet pipeline sanctions is seen
as an encouraging sign, but
many Western European lead
ers doubt Reagan’s willingness
to negotiate the issues behind
the sanctions, Robertson said.

Smallpox vaccine being used
for everything but smallpox
United Press International
ATLANTA — A vaccine eli
minated smallpox from the
world in October 1977. Five
years later, to the dismay of pub
lic health officials, the vaccine is
still being used — not against
smallpox but ailments for which
it was not intended.
The national Center for Dis
ease Control has been conduct
ing a campaign for several years
to educate physicians against the
use of the smallpox vaccine. But
some doctors continue to give it
to their patients, primarily for
the treatment of herpes, said Dr.
Stanley Foster of the CDC.
“The big concern (with the
inappropriate use of the vac
cine) is herpes,” Foster said.
“Most of it is used for the recur
rent cold sores on the lip. Some
people (doctors) have been us
ing it for years. But there is no
evidence it is effective.”
He said that occasionally pa
rents, who remember getting
vaccinated against smallpox, in
sist that their children also have
the right to be inoculated.
“There’s no proof it is effec
tive against anything but small
pox. We strongly recommend it
not be used at all.”
People inoculated with the
vaccine that have a defect in
their immune system could be
come severely ill or even die,
Foster said.
Dr. Allan Hinman, director of
CDC’s immunization division,
said the vaccine continues to be
used by the U.S. military and
that it is still recommended for
laboratory workers who may
come in contact with the small
pox virus.
The armed forces inoculates
its personnel against smallpox
because of its concern about
biological warfare and the fact
that the Soviet Union continues
to give smallpox vaccine to its
troops.
