NATO
honors
Bertsch
By MAGALI CORNIER
University political sci
ence professor Gary K
Bertsch is one of only three
Americans this year to
receive a NATO research
fellowship award
The award was based on
his study entitled "Multilat
eral Export Controls. East-
West Technology Transfer
and the Atlantic Alliance
Each year. NATO awards
15 such fellowships to
scholars from its member
countries to promote studies
and publications that deal
with problems NATO faces
Bertsch said his objective
is "to examine the problems
and prospects of establish
ing a more coordinated and
common East-West trade
policy among allied coun
tries ."
Today, according to the
professor, the western coun
tries are only guided by an
informal 1949 agreement of
strategic goods and technol
ogy This agreement is not
only fuzzy in nature, but is

also ignored on occasion by
some of the countries
involved, he said.
Bertsch's work focuses on
the communist nations. He
has lived in Yugoslavia and
been to Russia several
times.
On his last trip to Moscow
in 1979. he learned from his
interviews the Russians are
extremely interested in
acquiring western technol
ogy and they are working
closely within the Warsaw
Pact framework in order to
secure the technology they
need Bertsch said he
believes "there are certain
challenges that eastern
countries pose to the West"

and they often "accuse the
United States of being too
fearful of communist na

Bertsch will attempt to
find out what the interests
of the West as a whole are
and whether or not the West
is willing to work together
to satisfy these common
interests.
Bertsch will present his
results, based on these
interviews as well as on
past work, in a book to be
published next summer.
He hopes the results of his
study will serve to "inform

Polls show Carter
lead in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK (UPI)--Polls in Arkansas show President
Jimmy Carter with a solid 6 to 9 percent lead over
Republican nominee Ronald Reagan.
Forget that, says Reagan-Bush state field coordinator
J.J. Vigneault
"I honestly don't feel we're that far down I mean that,”
Vigneault said. “I’ll tell you why.
"I do my polling by getting out in the coffee shops and
service stations of the state and talking to people about the
election without letting them know I’m working for
Reagan." Vigneault said "And I can tell you, from my
personal experience, we re making progress with
Democrats and independents in Arkansas."
Reagan people have been taking their message to the
grass roots of Arkansas for almost a month, hitting hard at
what they perceive to be a soft rural vote and general
dissatisfaction with the Carter record
Nevertheless, the latest public opinion poll taken in
Arkansas by the Doubleday Co. showed Carter-Mondale
leading Reagan-Bush by an unyielding 45-36 margin
Independent candidate John Anderson has been stalled at a
6 percent share for six weeks.
Pollster David Martin says Carter leads in virtually
every category, including a substantial 71-13 majority
among black voters.
Carter, who carried Arkansas with 60 percent of the
popular vote four years ago, depended heavily on black
support in 1976 and will need it again this year Most black
groups have endorsed him, but a poor turnout could
damage his showing.
The Rev. Lamar Keels, the state NAACP chairman, said
getting blacks to go to the polls will be his group's biggest
challenge.
"The black vote this year is mostly one against Ronald
Reagan instead of one for Jimmy Carter," he said. “For
that reason, the enthusiasm is missing If we can’t combat
the apathy, Ronald Reagan could win by default,” Keels
said.
T.E. Patterson, chairman of the Arkansas Black Caucus,
said Carter can count on almost unanimous support from
blacks-but that won't mean much if they don’t vote The
caucus has organized voter-registration campaigns and
"Operation Big Vote” to generate black votes on Nov. 4.
"It's kind of discouraging if you're out there and trying
to push it," he said.
Blacks and labor in Arkansas are tying a different angle
to stir up interest among largely quiescent voters this
year: emphasis on a hotly contested campaign for a new
state constitution and two controversial amendments on
property taxes and interest rates.
"If we can stimulate the local people in local issues,
they'll turn out for the national races,” Patterson said.

like the idea of someone
coming and saying you will

to do with air conditioning

School Board President
Robert Bowen responded,
saying the ten years of
records was searched as
quickly as possible, and it
couldn't have been complet
ed in a brief span of time.
Also at the meeting, the
board announced that Timo
thy Road Elementary
School received a $7,000
grant for the 1980-31 school
year from the state de
partment of education to
improve basic skills for
students in reading, writing
and studying.
Bowen said a bond
referendum may be neces
sary to meet the district's
future needs
Bowen listed replacement
of temporary classrooms,
installment of air condition
ing in a number of schools
and the renovation of at
least two cafeterias and
probably the library and
bandroom at Clarke Central
High School as the district's
current needs
“In the near term, we will
need to construct a new
elementary school, and
possibly two on the east end
within the next two years
and one on the west end
within the next several
years.” Bowen said.
Bowen added long-term
needs could include con
struction of a new high
school and a new middle
school, and renovation of
athletic facilities
