. Page 4 = Monday, March 2,1987 • ficonn RESPONSE Continued from page 2 Collegian. Dear Dr. Cyper, Please let me, first of all, express how much' I appreciate your response. And, I must admit your arguments are persuasive. But Dr. Cypher, as far as the miniseries "Amerika" (the version shown on TV) being an attempt to nurture fears of the Soviets and bolster U.S. defense spending, you are wrong. While the idea for the series was originally suggested by a conservative columnist the outcome seen Sri TV was far different from what he imtnded. The original idea was sabotaged (and I use that word lightly) by leftist types during its writing and production. For an account of how and by whom this was done, I ask you to read a copy of the January 1987 "Accuracy in Media Report" which I am sending to you. flt is also available in the library). And again, let me say. how much I appreciate your apparent agreement with me that the Soviet state is indeed oppressive and tyrannical. Some mistaken liberals think one has to whitewash the Soviet system in order to be pro-peace. Respectfully yours, James Agustin Lujan Soviets deceitful During the past few weeks in The Daily Collegian, there have been several letters that have been misrepresenting -one position of the Soviet Union as one of a co-guarantor of world peace and a country that is committed to peaceful co-existence with the United States. When the United States held a monopoly over nuclear weapons in 1946, it offered to destroy the casings and transfer the extracted fissionable materials to a veto-free international agency under the United Nations' authority. Arkady A. Sobolev. the ranking U.S.S.R. official at the U.N.. responded to an oral preview of the proposal as follows: "The Soviet Union doesn't want equality. [It] wants complete freedom to pursue its own aims as it sees fit." That conversation took place before the U.S.S.R. had even tested its first atomic bomb. Since then, the Soviets have clearly never shared the naive belief, held by some Americans, that both sides have the same objective of military parity to be achieved through arms control. The idea of striving toward a collective security system, mutually advantageous for both East and West, contradicis the Marxist- Leninist world outlook, which allows for no lasting accommodation. Arkady N. Shevchenko. the highest ranking Soviet official ever to defect to the United States, said in his book "Breaking with Moscow," the Soviets "abhor American armed strength for what it could do, if properly and consistently directed, to frustrate Soviet expansionism. Furthermore, they understand that it is die main, if not only barrier to their plans for world domination." Shevchenko asked former Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who shaped Soviet foreign policy for three decades, what he »saw as the greatest weakness of U.S. foreign policy toward CALENDAR Barbara Carrasco, moralist and Hispanic Artist of the Year, will pre¬ sent a public lecture today at noon in Main Cafeteria 200. The Academic Senate Executive Committee will meet today at 3 p.m. in Main Cafeteria 203. The Hispanic Business Student Association will meet tonight at 6 p.m. in College Union 308. The Fresno State Bulldog Basket¬ ball Team will host UC Santa Barbara tonight in Selland Arena for a/7:30 p.m. PCAA contest. This is the final game of the regular season. John Dodson will speak about system designs Tuesday at 5 p.m. in College Union 309. Delta Upsllon will sponsor a tri-tip sandwich sale from 11 am. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Free Speech Area. Canterbury Christian Fellowship will sponsor an Ash Wednesday Service from noon to 1 p.m. in College Union 313. "Vagabond" will be shown Wed¬ nesday at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Satellite College Union. An Interview Workshop with Victor Oliveras will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Old Science 162. the Soviet Union. "They don't comprehend our final goals." he responded prompdy. It is for this reason that arms-control talks contradict the idea that the Soviet government's ideology is a threat to peace. (If so. why' sit down to talk with such people?) Talks actually establish the Soviets as the co-guarantor of world peace, when in fact they are the sole threat to it. Arms-control agreements are also based on the absurdity that our security - presumed to be weak or nonexistent in the absence of agreements -- depends on their consent Shevchenko writes, "In 1970. at a meeting of diplomats in the Foreign Ministry in Moscow. Andrei Gromyko made a statement that was a model of clear intent which has in no way changed over the years: The foundations of our foreign policy built by Lenin remain fully and totally valid today, and detente in no way has changed our ultimate objectives. But Lenin also taught us to be clever in our dealings with leaders of capitalist coun¬ tries.' " Soviet leaders have repeatedly told the West what it wanted to hear and have unfortunately lulled many into believing it Although the U.S.S.R. has consistenUy pressed the United States to seek col¬ lective security through arms-control agree-. ments, the ^Soviet commitment to military superiority has been so unmistakable that Americans who have overlooked it cannot be called victims of Soviet deception. Sincerely, T. Leroy Bamctt 'Different Moon' of uncommon caliber Those of you whose last theater experience was the National Theatre of Great Britain's production of Richard II may expect a second-rate college production of Ara Watson's A Different Moon which opened in CSUFs Arena Theatre Thursday. You may expect it — but you won't get it What you will get is a wonderful play performed by four very talented students. A Different Moon is an emotional play — disquieting, touching, frustrating, and sometimes funny. The cast's ability to evoke these and other .emotions is a tribute to their abilities, hard work and a superb director. By Tim Heine This is a story about an unwanted, illegitimate pregnancy in 1951 Arkansas, and individual's, as well as a family's, effort to cope. A young soldier, Tyler Biars, is home on leave prior to being sent to Korea. The unexpected arrival of Sarah, Tyler's pregnant girlfriend from Georgia, turns an already tense situation (Tyler's impending departure for Korea, and war) into emotional chaos.

Westenberg does a fine job showing Tyler change from blustering confidence in the opening scene to the confused, irresponsible coward who hasn't the courage to take responsibility for his own actions. Tracy Ruth Hostmycr's portrayal of Sarah is beautifully heart-rendering. The character is simple, naive and direct — to the point of sheer tactlessness. Through that naivety. Hostmycr shows a gentle, childlike girl that is extremely anxious and frightened. She handles the light comedy scenes as deftly as the dramatic, acting with her entire body and voice so completely that for two hours she is Sarah. . Lisa Lambright is at a definite disadvantage from the moment she appears on stage. She is obviously too young and pretty to be Tyler's 45-year-old mother. But it is a disadvantage that she overcomes quit* quickly and capably. Lambright is the glue that holds the show 'together with her skill in keeping the action and ' dialogue moving that is a demonstration in timing and control. Jenniffcr Miller, who plays Tyler's sister Jean, is endearing as the bouncy, teasing teenager who is forced into the realization that a loved and idolized big- brothcr has human shortcomings.
