Unusual program

authorization route
by KAREN EMERSON
I IFF- St.iff Wrt.'i	
An industrial security
program offered through the
Institute for Personal and
Career Development did not go
through the appropriate authorization process, a School of
Graduate Studies official said.
Concern was expressed from
faculty members ahout the
program, which began in H->vS.r>.
because it is offered at other
universities in conjunction with
CMU     and     then*     are     no
on-campus equivalent courses,
said John Haeger. associate
dean of the School of Graduate
Studies.
"What is clear is that the
program was approved without
going through the normal curri-
cular process.™ he said
The course of action which was
taken in authorizing the
program is unknown. Haeger
said.
"We don't ktmw exactly how
the program  was approved." he

by LAURA PHILLIPS
t IFF*  St.iff WrtiT
A group of CMU students is helping to fill once-empty bookshelves
at a small college library in the South Pacific.
The Army ROTC at CMU raised $364 in a pop can drive this spring
for postage to mail textlxxiks to the Marshall Islands, a country
comprised of hundreds of islands halfway between Australia and
Hawaii.
The effort was coordinated by Nicole Harris, Had Axe junior. While
Harris is not in the ROTC, her father. Col. Philip R. Harris, is an Army
representative to the Marshall Islands.
Her father went through Central's ROTC program, graduated from
CMU in 1964 and served in Vietnam, .she said.

South Africa to be subject of exhibition debate
by TIM DYKEMA
LIFE St.iff Writer
Four CMU students will take
a serious look at American
foreign policy in South Africa
Wednesday night.
An "exhibition debate" will ask
"whether or not the United
States should change its foreign
policy toward South Africa," said
Director of Forensics Ed Hinck.
Hinck, assistant professor of
speech, communication, -and
• dramatic arts, said the issues
which will be discussed
Wednesday are important ones,
of which students should be
more aware.
"(South Africa) has lx.*en a
problem for U.S. foreign policy,"
he said.
"(The United States) needs
access to the strategic minerals
South Africa produces. They're
the second-largest supplier of
strategic minerals in the world.
"On the other hand," he added,
"they have the apartheid system
of government, which we abhor.
It's a sticky issue."
Hinck said the U.S. government wants to aid the black
majority in South Africa while
remaining civil to the white
government.
"It would be a problem if we
lost (South Africa) as an ally,"
Hinck said.
Hinck said the Reagan
administration made an effort to
alleviate the problems by implementing a policy called constructive engagement.
The policy involved diplomatic
dialogue between the U.S. and
South African governments, but
little progress was made using
constructive engagement, Hinck
said.
"The only other (world power*
we could turn to (lor tne
strategic minerals* would be the
Soviet Union," Hinck said.
"We don't really want to do
that. We don't want to become
dependent on the Soviet Union
at this sensitive time, when
we're changing from the Reagan
administration to the Bush
administration. It would
increase (the Soviet Union's)
bargaining power."
Students participating in
Wednesday's exhibition debate
are Gary Chubb, Midland junior;
David Hei.ss, Rochester Hills
junior, Nichelle McNabb. Ithaca
sophomore and Jody Sturtz,
Saginaw freshman.
The exhibition debate will
take place in the Moore Hall
Kiva at 8 p.m. The event is free
and open to the public.
