Carter loses tennis match
U. S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
said here Saturday that he will use any
diplomatic means necessary to promote
human rights at home and abroad.
For his first major address to the
American public since taking office,
Vance told about 500 persons assembled
in the University Coliseum for Law Day
ceremonies that "We intend to let other
countries know where we stand" on the
issue of human rights.
Vance outlined a tough approach to
international human rights abuses, and
he threatened that the United States will
continue to cut off aid to countries which
deny citizens basic human rights.
The United States will promote an
international human rights policy
through tactics ranging from “quiet
diplomacy in its many forms, through
public pronouncements and withholding
of assistance.” Vance said.
“We recently announced cuts in milita
ry aid to several governments...and our
strong support will go to countries which
are trying to further human rights." he
said.
Vance said the Carter Administration
has placed the human rights issue high
on its priority list, and he added that this
issue will form the core of future U. S.
foreign policy.
The goal of the administration is not to
make human rights "a common cause,
but a common condition," Vance said.
"There may be disagreement on the
priorities these rights deserve.” Vance
said. "But I believe they can be comple
mentary and reinforcing ”
Vance said the United States will
assume a hard-nosed stance on human
rights when dealing with other nations,
but foreign policy will remain flexible
enough to be realistic.
“A doctrinaire plan of action can be as
dangerous as indifference." he said

In contrast to the presidential family’s
usual winning style. Jack Carter, son of
the President, was defeated in the
Student-Alumni tennis match here at the
University.
The event, the first one of its kind at
the University, was sponsored by the
Alumni Association.
Carter outlined his strategy before the
match, saying it depended more on his
partner than his own ability. "I'm not
winning on ability but native intelligence.
1 picked a good playing partner and plan
to win." Carter said. Carter’s playing
partner, Pierre Howard, is one of
Georgia’s youngest state senators.
The winning team was comprised of
Andy Johnson of the New England
Patriots and Erk Russell, assistant
football coach at the University
In the dorm and organization division.
Russell Hall placed first.
In semifinals Russel Hall played the
SGA team of Rob Hancock and Glenn
Vey. Wearing T-shirts printed "The
Party is Over," Hancock gave his opinion
of the match before they played. ‘‘It’ll be
a cinch," Hancock said. After the match
Hancock commented, "W’e decided to
give them a break." They lost.
In the fraternity division Kappa Sigma
defeated Chi Psi
In sorority finals Chi Omega defeated
Zeta Tau Alpha to take top honors in that
division.
Crowds were sparse during the tourna
ment with no more than 50 spectators in
the stand at any one time.
Despite the small attendance all pla
yers seems in good spirits during the
all-day tournament.
Andy Johnson, showing his winning
style, drank water out of a tennis can
during the match. His partner, Erk
Russell gave his opinion of the match by
yelling "Oh nuts" when he missed a ball.
A lot of the spectators found the Secret
Service men who accompanied Carter
interesting. While Carter played, a Secret
Service man explained to questioners the
requirements for entering the Secret
Service division of the government.
Trophies were given to the winners in
each division. Coordinators of the event
were Carolyn W’ildes, press secretary for
the Student Advisory Board, and Rick
Jordan, president of the Student Alumni
Association.
HE SET forth three major target areas
for human rights revison:
— The abolition of torture, cruel or
inhuman imprisonment or treatment,
arbitrary arrest or invasion of the home.
—Providing adequate food, shelter,
health care services and education.
—Extending civil and political liberties,
such as freedom of thought, religion,
speech and assembly, in addition to free
movement within one’s own country and
the freedom to participate in govern
ment.
WHILE MAINTAINING that the nation
must be aware of "the limits of our
power and our wisdom" when shaping
human rights policy. Vance implied that
he will be tough and decisive when
dealing with human rights offenders
"It is our purpose to shape our policies
in accord with our beliefs, and to state
them without stridency or apology, when
we think it is desirable to do so." he said
As for domestic policy in regard to the
human rights issue, Vance said foreign
travel restrictions on American citizens
recently have been lifted by the Carter
Administration. In addition, the admini
stration is attempting to push legislation
through Congress which would expand
refugee and asylum policies, he said
"All of these initiatives for human
rights would have a hollow ring if we
neglect human rights at home,” Vance
said.
"We seek these goals because they are
right and because we. too, will benefit,"
he added "We always risk paying a
serious price when we become identified
with repression.”
Vance also announced a proposed 20
per cent increase in foreign aid during
the next fiscal year, and he stressed the
administration’s willingness to cooperate
with the United Nations in foreign
affairs

Miller urges support

The state must encourage small busi
nesses. since they constitute a large part
of the economy, according to Lt. Gov.
Zell Miller.
Miller's remarks came at dedication
ceremonies for the University's new
Business Development Center here on
Saturday. The center is one of eight in
the nation, and is designed to provide
small businesses with management deve
lopment assistance, technical information
and domestic and international market
development.
vital importance of big
our economy cannot be
"While the
industry to
overlooked, we must remember that
approximately half of the jobs in this
country are provided by small busines
ses,” Miller said. “We can ill afford to
overlook this sector of our economy any
longer."
The center is part of a pilot project
under the sponsorship of the Small
Business Administration (SBA) to exa
mine the problems of small businesses
William Flewellen, dean of the College of
Business Administration, said "93 per
cent of all business failures are due to
managerial problems," and the Universi
ty is trying to produce a program what
will serve these small businesses.
The University will provide the man
power and the state and federal govern
ments will supply funding to increase
productivity of those businesses. Flewellen
added. The center “will provide small
businesspersons a place to turn to resolve
day to day problems of their businesses.”
Legislation to increase funding of the
two-year pilot program is now being
considered in Congress. Sen. Sam Nunn
ID-Ga ) is one of the co-sponsors of the
bill which would increase funding of the
program from $350,000 to $20 million
Nunn stressed the .mportance of assis
ting small businessowners “Small busi
nesses are the very heartbeat of our free
enterprise system...They generate 43 per
rent of the Gross National Product
"Their future and that of our country
are inseparable, and to the degree that
Congress can assist their preservation
and development, we can help in the
building of a better future for all
Americans," Nunn added
The senator cautioned those at the
dedication about the criticism the pro
gram has received "We have those who
say that this is going to be another ivory
tower project with university people
dreaming up theories while the small
businessman must continue to struggle
on his own in the real world, (hutI I am
confident that the University of Georgia's
program can meet this challenge "
No private commitments were made
during a conference session between
President Jimmy Carter and King Hus
sein of Jordan last week, Hussein said at
an Atlanta press conference Saturday.
Hussein praised Carter for his "Cour
age. farsightedness and determination to
do all possible” to resolve the conflict,
and said he would do all he could to settle
the Middle East problem
The form the representation of the
Palestinians would take at Geneva is
unclear at this time, he said, but several
possibilities have been considered
"It is true it appears now a solution
could come with a Palestinian state on
Jordan's West Bank, and assuming other
minor problems could be worked out,”
Hussein said
should not be held unless there was a
good possibility for success.
In a possible reference to Israel's
refusal to give up the occupied West
Bank. Hussein said the problems in the
Middle East are no longer actual but
rather psychological The Israeli’s have
stated they want the West Bank as a
buffer-zone against attack
Several times during the news confer
ence, Hussein stated it would be bene
ficial for all sides to define the actual
points of disagreement. He said this
could be very helpful to the negotiating
process and may in the end produce an
agreement satisfactory to all concerned.
According to Flewellen. the center will
benefit the businessmen as well as
University students and faculty. Students
will have the opportunity to work with
real businesses in solving their problems,
and faculty will be able to take the
expertise they gain from working with
the businesses into the classroom
"Benefits will accrue to all persons in
the program," Flewellen said
HE SAID there is a danger in building
up hopes of people involved in the Middle
East situation, and he feels despair could
set in if a settlement does not result from
renewed Geneva talks, as Carter had
suggested
Hussein said there are "Realities which
I felt it my duty to point out." to Carter
during their discussions
At the conclusion of the Carter-Hussein
talks. Carter stated he felt the Geneva
conference, scheduled for later this year.
HUSSEIN WAS in Atlanta to address a
private reception at the Atlanta Histori
cal Society
According to one of the guests at the
gathering. Hussein said the Palestinians
must have self-determination, but he
stated the Palestinian Liberation Organi
zation (PLO) does not really represent
the Palestinians in his opinion
HE FURTHER stated it would be
unproductive to comment on Palestinian
human rights
"I am in no position, nor is my
government, to comment on Palestinian
rights," he said "To ask me to do so
would be a disaster, I think ”
Years ago, Hussein had allowed refu
gee Palestinians to settle in Jordan, but
in September, 1970 war erupted between
the Jordanian Army, commanded by
Hussein, and the pLo. led by Yassir
Arafat
During that conflict the PLO suffered
severe losses and was driven out of
Jordan Recently, though, Arafat and
Hussein held their first meeting in six
years, and relations between the two are
reportedly improving
Hussein left Atlanta Saturday to spend
the remainder of the weekend at Sea
Island on the Georgia Coast. From there
he was scheduled to travel to Houston.

Earlier Saturday Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance said an emphasis on human
rights could be inappropriate in some
cases, and Hussein agreed
“I suppose it's true that sometimes to
say too much could trigger adverse
reactions." he said
