TO CHANGE
THE
WORLD
Not everyone is cut out to change the world. After all,
it takes education, skills and a spare two years.
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. Pre
sently, Peace Corps n is an URGENT NEED for Volun
teers with majors, col rework, or experience in

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

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

“Never before has Soviet foreign
policy been so closely related to tit
challenges of renewing our society
he said.
