cussions with China’s current
“Gang of Four” leaders — a sig
nificant accomplishment in
light of his longtime allegiance
to Taiwan and aversion to com
munism.
But his aim of playing a
“China card” against Moscow
backfired. China’s leaders, in
the process of seeking rap
prochement with their onetime
allies in Moscow and reluctant
to cast a cloud over the forth
coming visit of a top Soviet offi
cial, used silence to disassociate
themselves from Reagan’s at
tacks on Soviet aggression.
A bouyant Reagan spoke of
having been “impressed” with
the Chinese during his carefully
scripted and well-rehearsed
visit. While he denied any politi
cal motivation behind his trip,
he was well aware of the proba
ble political benefits.
Before the trip began, presi
dential assistant Michael Deaver
acknowledged its political plus,
but contended the president
could expect only “a blip” in the
polls, based on previous presi
dential travel abroad.
A film crew hired by the Re
publican National Committee,
however — and given prefer
ential treatment at virtually ev
ery stop — ensured the images
of the trip will not soon fade
from view.
The scenes of Reagan at the
Great Wall and meeting with
Dr. Norman Borlaug
member the hardships of those
days, he said.
“There are many who’d like
to go back to the good old days,
but they’ve never been on the
business end of the hoe,” he
said.
U.S. farmers are producing
enough food for the world pop
ulation, but even distribution of
the produce is a problem, Bor
laug said. Between 500 million
and 800 million people are un
dernourished, he said, and the
world population is increasing.
The world population in
1650 was 500 million, Borlaug
said. By 1850 the population
had doubled, totaling one bil
lion people, he said. At this
time, people learned about
communicable diseases and
women began taking better care
of their newborns, which would
decrease the infant mortality
rate, he said.
Between 1850 and 1930 the
world population doubled,
reaching two billion people,
Borlaug said. The introduction
of sulfa drugs, antibiotics and
vaccines, along with better
health care, increased lifespans,
he said, and the world popula
tion doubled again between
1930 and 1975. Currently, the
population is estimated at 4.7
billion people, Borlaug said.
The problem faced by agri
culturists today is producing
enough food to supply the
growing population, Borlaug
said. This can be accomplished
by investing money in agricultu
ral programs for underdevel
oped countries, he said. Educat-
ing students fr o m
underdeveloped countries to
help their people is another
method of aiding the countries,
he said.
“When we’re talking about
education here, we’re talking
about universities and colleges,
challenging the minds of our
young people,” Borlaug said.
“When we’re talking about the
third-world countries, we’re
talking about primary, second
ary education.”
such influential Chinese leaders
as Deng Xiaoping will be used

tended to portray Reagan not as
the rigid ideologue of 1980, but
as the globe-trotting pragmatic
statesman of 1984.
A meeting with Pope John
Paul II, set for Wednesday,
placed a final seal on the politi
cal value of a trip contrasting
with the turmoil of the Demo
cratic Party primary fight.
The trip was not without its
contentious aspects, however.
Besides turning a cold shoul
der to his harangue against the
Soviets and expressing contin
ued displeasure with his posi
tion on Taiwan, Reagan’s com
munist hosts were not happy
with his sermons on the virtues
of free enterprise and religion
or his interpretation of their re
cent economic reforms as a step
toward capitalism.

Relax, it’s dead week;
forget finals — for now
By BETH HRDLICKA
Reporter
Just because you had three
tests, two presentations, two
programs and three papers
due last week doesn’t mean
anything. You get one week
of rest — at least that’s how
the University defines dead
week -— and then the forever
dreaded finals.
If you can, take advantage
of dead week and do some
things you haven’t had time
for. Play a little tennis, go sit
in a hot tub, party with some
old friends... anything. But
don’t hit the panic button be
cause of finals.
Joseph Chmielewski, who
has counseled students
studying, says there are seve
ral ideas to remember while
studying for finals.
• Breathe calmly and
slowly to keep the body at a
slow pace so you can concen
trate on studying.
•Concentrate on pleasura
ble thoughts while taking
breaks to relieve your mind
from the books.
•Do some type of physical
activity because it relieves
stress.
•Eat good food.
•Sleep on a regu lar basis.
Sleeping irregularly can
throw the body out of kilt,
which adds unnecessary
stress.
•Take breaks as you
study. The longer you study
the more frequent the breaks
need to be.
•Pay attention to signals
from the body warning of be
ing overloaded.
•Manage your time so you
won’t have to panic.

tapes are heard over the

Klansmen inside because they
were wearing black and white
Ku Klux Klan T-shirts.
Although Oakes conceded
there was no dress code ban
ning T-shirts at the Alamo, he
still refused to allow the group
inside.
I look this (action) on my
own,” Oakes said. “To lose the
Alamo or give it to a radical
group — I just don’t see it. You
can tell Mr. Lee he can get in
the Alamo if he’ll take his T-
shirt off.”
Lee, the Klan’s Texas Grand
Dragon who has led marches in
San Antonio and Austin, called
Oakes a dictator and vowed the
matter would end up in court.
Lee said 10 to 15 Klansmen
were on duty near the Alamo
Tuesday to protect it from May
Day assaults by purported com
munists.
A communist group scaled
the Alamo walls on May Day
1980 and lowered the American
flag, and Lee said his group
would prevent a similar occur
rence.
The Klansmen remained in
Alamo Plaza after they were
denied entrance to the main
Alamo grounds, Lee said.
How to turn this coupon into $7,000.
1. Prepare to visit our brief, get-
acquainted session on the date
shown below. The topic?
Lucrative summer jobs.
2. Here’s the $7,000: Several hundred
students have worked with us each
summer for the past 10 years.
Based on that, we estimate that the
average first-year person will make
$7,000 working 16 weeks this
summer. A few don’t do that well.
A few earn much more.
3. Remind yourself that we’re not
kidding. Hundreds have had $7,000
summers. You can, too—this coming
summer.
4. Attend our introductory meeting.
No pressure. Just facts and nice
people.
