RUDOLF KIRCHSCHLAGER
World needs cooperation, president of Austria says
By Catalina Camia

Rudolf Kirchschlager, federal president of Austria, said Monday that this generation can only live with the knowledge to make nuclear arms if the world becomes more peace loving.
Speaking before a near capacity crowd of 200 in the auditorium of the Annenberg School of Communications, Kirchschlager addressed pertinent issues concerning the Central European country, including nuclear arms, neutrality and economics.
“Just as Eve took the apple from the tree of knowledge and then was unable to put it back, we cannot put our knowledge of nuclear fission back on the tree," he said.
Kirchschlager said the task of becoming a more peace-loving world is the indispensable goal of this era and of the coming nations.
He contends that disarmament will not occur until a "confidence is built on a realistic basis."
The role of smaller countries, such as Austria, is
to contribute to what Kirchschlager calls "confidence building measures" with military alliances and with officials in Washington, D.C. and Moscow.
"One responsibility small countries have to bear is to engage in constant dialogue aimed at eliminating foreign tension an diverting conflicts from the past," he said
Kirchschlager said Austria has become an international place of encounter and conciliation within the heart of Europe, but warned that the neutrality of his country must not be an ideological stance.
"Never have we considered neutrality as a constant excuse for inactivity in international organizations," he said. "We are always convinced that our neutrality constitutes an obligation for us to contribute actively to building a more peaceful world."
Kirchschlager briefly addressed the issue of Austria's decision to grant political asylum to Soviet Jews by saying it in no way infringes upon Aus-

Automated teller stays open

The Wells Fargo Express Stop on the side of the Financial Services Building will remain open despite earlier plans to close the express station on Feb. 29 because of a dispute between the bank and the university over the terms of the lease, said Lyn Hutton, university treasurer.
Hutton said the problems associated with the lease, which expired on Jan. 1, have now been resolved and the lease has been renewed until 1986.
Karen Zendelbach, vice president and division manager of express service at Wells Fargo, said the original lease was open-ended, which meant that neither party had to renew the lease.
She added that while the new lease has been agreed to in principle, it has not been signed. She said the lease would probably be signed in this month
when Wells Fargo begins paving rent for the facility.
"USC decided that they wanted to renew the lease. When terms could not be reached, Wells Fargo was going to leave the university. Later USC wrote and asked Wells Fargo if they would like to remain on the campus under certain conditions," Zendelbach said.
A new automatic teller machine (ATM) from the USC Credit Union will be installed this summer next to the First Interstate and Wells Fargo ATMs, Hutton said.
The university estimates that the credit union has 5,500 members while the Wells Fargo Express Stop has only 500 accounts.
She said Wells Fargo is satisfied with the terms of the lease and pleased to be staying at the university.
One of the terms that caused confusion was the rent that
Wells Fargo was supposed to pay to the university.
The $100-a-month rent had not been paid in a year, Hutton said.
However, Zendelbach said Wells Fargo has now paid all back rent and has agreed to pay
SI	50 a month in rent — a figure decided on by the university.
Another reason Wells Fargo had trouble renewing the lease was the confusion brought on by the second ATM which was to be built on the Health Sciences Campus.
"The original lease stated that Wells Fargo would build two ATM machines on the university campus. However, the Health Sciences Campus and Wells Fargo could not fold a site acceptable to both groups," Zendelbach said.
"Wells Fargo decided to write a few amendments to improve the original lease. One of the (Continued on page 11)

Journalists discuss minorities, foreign affairs
Tritia Toyota focuses on awareness, issues

Tritia Toyota, news anchorwoman for KNBC Channel 4 during the past seven years, said people need to stay informed about current events, and challenged the media to provide a more active role for minorities in a speech to an audience of about 150 people Monday in Hancock Auditorium.
"If we do not find out what is going on, we cannot be a functioning democracy," Toyota said.
Toyota's speaking engagement on the role of minorities in the media and the importance of activism in the Asian community began the university's two-week-long Asian Pacific Heritage Festival.
Although the audience consisted mostly of university students, Toyota said the students were not unlike the rest of the adult world in terms of being informed, and presented statistics which characterized a lack of interest for current events among adults.
She said 68 percent of all adults read a newspaper every day, about 50 percent watch one television newscast and only
18	percent listen to news radio.
Toyota, a journalist for the past 12 years, also warned the audience against relying only on television newscasts for information on current events.
"Television news is a headline service. If you want to know more, you should go to other news programs and read extensively," she said. "You don't have to watch any particular (channel), but keep yourself informed."
Toyota, who directed much of her speech toward the large group of Asian American students in the audience, praised her heritage as an Asian Pacific American.
She called the festival a reflection of the growing awareness that Asian Pacific American students have of themselves and of their community, something she said began in the 1970s while she was a college student.
However, due to the changing demographics of Los Angeles and the recent emergence of cable television, Toyota called on Asian Pacific Americans, as well as other minorities, to play an even larger role in their communities and in the media.
She noted that minorities now comprise more than 50 percent of the popula-(Continued on page 13)
Penny Lernoux talks about Latin America
By Jennifer Cray

Penny Lemoux, a graduate of the School of Journalism with more than 20 years of experience as an investigative reporter in Latin America, spoke Monday night about the current problems of Central and South America, particularly U.S. government involvement in El Salvador and Nicaragua, and South American countries' massive debts to American banks, in the Davis Auditorium of the Andrus Gerontology Center.
The best way for the United States government to improve social, political and economic conditions in Central America, Lemoux said, is not massive economic aid, as recommended by the Kissinger Commission. Instead, help from community group’s in this country and private international aid programs would be a more effective way to aid Central American countries, she said.
In countries such as El Salvador and Nicaragua, U.S. government aid "rarely trickles down to the local level," Lemoux said.
People need to go to Central America to show there is an alternative to the position of the Reagan Administration, Lernoux said. Americans need to show not everyone agrees with the CIA's war against Nicaragua's Sandinista government, she said.
Lemoux was asked to speak at the university by A.J. Langguth, an associate journalism professor and head of the print sequence, as part of the 1984 edition of the Theodore Kruglak Lecture Series. The lecture series is hosted annually by the School of Journalism in honor of its director from 1964 to 1970.
She related her personal observations of improved conditions in Nicaragua since the revolution that overthrew the Somoza regime.
With the new Sandinista government, villages got electricity, plumbing, stores, transportation and many other physical improvements. The Nicaraguan people also have more pride, and considerably few children die each year because of a lack of medical attention, she said.
"None of this is to say Nicaragua is a utopia," Lemoux said.
However, the Sandinista government is organizing democratic elections to be held two days before ours in November.
