Also a willingness to work. Hard. This year 3,750 Americans will join the Peace Corps to do just that. They'll do things like build roads, plant forests and crops, teach English, develop small businesses, train com munity health workers, or even coach basketball. However, what they'll be doing isn't half as important as the fact that they'll be changing a little piece of the world.. .for the better. And when they return, these 3,750 Americans will find that experience doing hard work will have another benefit. It's exactly what their next employers are looking for. So, give the Peace Corps your next two years. And while you're out changing the world, you'll also be making a place in it for yourself. Peace Corps representatives will be on campus to talk about opportunity s fo ' ^lunteer service: BA/BS candi dates can qualify for many generalist programs.

I In an i hdean |uoted a jue the l By Alan Sembera Senior Staff Writer President Ronald Reagan has made significant strides in improv ing U.S.-Soviet relations during the past three years, the first secretary of the Soviet Union’s Washington em bassy said Friday during a visit to Texas A&M. The ambassador, Dr. Igor Khri- pounov, was invited to A&M as a guest of the College of Liberal Arts. “Over the past three years, our two countries have gained no small amount of positive experience,” said Khripounov, who is an expert on Western arms policy and arms con trol and has served as Soviet Presi dent Mikhail Gorbachev’s personal interpreter. The two countries gained this pos itive experience with the INF treaty negotiations, Khripounov said, espe cially the negotiations dealing with verification of the treaty. “We see how previously unthink able standards of openness are tak ing hold,” he said. “All requisite con ditions are there for consistent continuity in Soviet-American rela tions. “This is assured by the growth and clear support for the course we are pursuing by the Soviet and American people and by the entire international community.” The improved relations between the two superpowers already have resulted in reducing the risk of war, the Soviet ambassador said. The next steps the two countries should work toward, he said, are re ducing by half the number of both countries’ strategic offensive bombs, eliminating chemical weapons, limit ing nuclear testing, reducing con ventional forces and settling re gional conflicts. But even if a more cooperative relationship between the two coun ties is achieved, Khripounov said, it is still too early to talk about a funda mental change in U.S.-Soviet rela tions. “Competition, even rivalry, be tween our two countries is entirely forseeable,” he said. “Each of them continues to evolve in accordance with its own laws, but their paths of development inevitably intersect.” When conflicts do arise, he said, dialogue and cooperation — not force — are the best ways to resolve the problem. “Force, as such, clearly ceases to be a basis on which to build a relationship between states in the party cai |rnment “The i V- nuclear age,” Khripounov said A new way of political thinking!! neccessay for an improved Sow American relationship to last, It said. In the Soviet Union, he said this new way of looking at thinkingii being brought about through pem troika. Perestroika, the ambassador said is the new philosophical andconcep tual framework of the Soviet Union! foreign policy. This new foreign policy include initiatives to eventually eliminatenii clear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, he said, and to prevent the militarization of and promote peaceful internationi space cooperation. Also, he said, the Soviet Unioi wants the superpowers to take non offensive military postures by mat ing deep cuts in conventional fora and taking measures to preventtk possibility of surprise attack by a ther side. These changes in foreign polio are integral parts of the changestal ing place within Soviet society undo glasnost, Khripounov said. “Never before has Soviet foreign policy been so closely related to tit challenges of renewing our society he said.
