the government.

sideration are Sigma Phi Epsalon, a
Christian fraternity, and Phi Cappa
Alfa. # fk 3. i | J

Mike Vincent, one of the student
organizers, said that the chosen frater-
nity must be "non-discriminatory" and
must have "good? representation
thoughout the country. IV

seems like its out to do some good for the community and

Getting A Piece Of Technology
The EAST vs. The WEST
. By Naomi Romanchok
David Norman Miller, Chief
of the Foreign Policy Controls
Division In the Office of East-
W e s t T r a d e , Bureau of
Economic- and Business Af-
fairs, spent three days last
week in the city of Erie speak-
ing to civic groups, corporate
leaders, four Mercy hurst
classes and the Good Morn-
ing, World breakfast lecture
He was brought to nor-
thwestern Pennsylvania
through the World Affairs
Council of Pittsburgh and the
U.S. State Department.
Miller explained the reason-
ing behind the Public'Affairs
Bureau of the State Depart-
ment encouraging such visits,
"It gives the citizens a one-on-
one f e e l i n g of how
Washington thinks these
days."* ; MUX
| Miller's main topic concern-
ed Technology Transfers to
East". As he stated,£The
faster the technology moves
to the Soviet Union, the faster
we have to develop newer
intelligence."
He explained, */We don't
want to keep them from*get-
ting . t h e technology per-
manently, we want to delay it.
If we maintain a delay, our
weapons can stay" ahead of
their weapons. Since Western
security is based on our
weapons being more
technologically advanced, we
have to maintain that delay."
Miller detailed the activities
of COCOM, the abbreviation of
the Coordinating Committee.
COCOM is a secret organiza-
tion of NATO allies (excluding
Spain and Iceland) and Japan.
COCOM controls and ap-
proves the amounts and kinds
of goods and technology go-
ing to certain Eastern coun-
tries. Miller named those'na-
tions as being: the Soviet
Union, the Warsaw Pact na-
tions, Albania, the Republic of
China and other communist
countries in Asia. COCOM
also controls international
trade relations with Cuba.
| COCOM * is 'essentially a
" g e n t l e m a n ' s agreement"
among the Western nations
with no legal binding interna-
tional force, Miller stated, it
was started in 1949 in Paris
during the European war
reconstruction talks, "ft is
p a r a l l e l to NATO, but
unrelated, MIlTer^fefendsTh
w o r k s o n t h e b a s i s of
unanimity, jt * g l *
| COCOM takes a product by
product, sale by sale took at
the goods to be sold to the
| East. The group collectively
decides if the goods or
technology have security
threatening military or civilian
implications. Miller labels
these as being "dual* use"
products. I
If a threads perceived, the
sale is "banned", i |
Miller says that there have
been no p r o b l e m s w i t h
Western countries selling
"banned" goods to the East.
COCOM basically deals
with electronic and industrial
goods, and more recently with
r o b o t i c s and personal
computers.
As Miller emphasizes, "The
idea is for the West to main-
tain the technological lead
over the Soviet Union, to avoid
technological surprise and
avoid war. The objective," he
continues, " i s to delay the
technological transfer to the
East and increase costs for
them." j £ ?£ f*
There is, according to
Miller, an emphasis in the
Reagan administration to ap-
pear miIitarily strong. ^ a "market economy".
Miller acknowledges that
the East sometimes resorts to
!''stealing" Western
technology; even going as far
as reproducing a Western
c o m p a n y name on the
counterfeit part. "They steal
things piece by piece, but they
d o n ' t have t h e overall
technology," he explained. m
Eastern countries who do
this are stealing pieces of
technology that frequently
aren't adaptable to their own
outdated technology.
Miller has represented the
David Miller speaking to the Public Affairs Reporting Class this
week.

nual trade talks with com-
munist countries.
He was the first U.S. Com-
mercial Attache in Budapest
and he has also been the Head
of East-West trade in the the
Bureau of European Affairs.
He was the Economic Officer
for Poland, Hungary, Albania
and Bulgaria in the 1970's.
He explains that there were
many economic trade issues

tries because they don't have

economic terms, to trade with

"Bulgaria is the most loyal
country to the Soviet Union
among all the Warsaw Pact na-
tions," concludes Miller.
Albania has stuck to its
policy of isolationism. The
U.S. owns property in Albania

to establishing relations as

event for both the Men and
Women's Crew teams this
pest weekend.

Varsity eight, the race came
right down to the wire with
Mercyhurst pulling the win out
in the last few strokes of the
race. They finished just ahead
of Duke University with a time
of 6:12 to Duke's 6:13.23
followed by Cincinatti, Mariet-
ta and 3 the University of
Charleston. Thus, Mercyhurst
was the recipient of the 1985

;A not so surprising victory
came from the Mercyhurst
men's Freshmen eight winn-
ing their event with a time of
6:12 fo I lowed far behind by se-
cond place finisher Cincinatti.
Another pleasant but sur-
prising win came in the open
pair with Mercy hurst's own
Dan Kelly and Joe Svitek tak-
ing the gold from Charleston

cinatti f University of North
Carolina, Marietta University

category, Mercyhurst finished
third and in the men's Novice
four action, Mercyhurst placed
second only to Marietta.
Mercyhurst Women gave a
good showing in their events
with the Novice eight stroking
to a gold with a time of 6:56,
followed by Duke, Marietta,
Mercyhurst " B " ? and £ West

women's Novice four suffered
a crushing defeat in the last
few strokes watching Mariet-
ta, Duke, Tennessee and Cin-
cinatti pass them as they tried
to recover from a rowing error.
In Varsity action, the Varsity
four suffered a heartbreaking
loss to Marietta, relinquishing
their title to a winning time of
