At West Point
WEST POINT, NY - - A new
image of world politics is emer
ging in American Foreign Policy,
cadets at the U.S. Military
Academy were told this week by a
political science professor from the
University of North Carolina at
Asheville.
In a series of six lectures to
the Army cadets Monday and
Tuesday, UNC-A's Dr. Gene
Rainey said: "This new image
will be a fusion of the realist and
idealist views that have dominated
U.S. policy for the past 200
years.

The reason for the "new
look" at foreign policy is the
resurgence of Soviet military
strength and the development of
U.S. economic weakness, he said.
"Whether or not we accept the
view that the Soviet Union was
aggressive during the I940's and
I950's, we must now accept the
fact that the Russians are attempt
ing to match our military
position," Dr. P«*r»oy oaid.
As long as the U.S. exper
ienced weakness in its balance of
payments and was dependent on
foreign petroleum, the traditional
view that America was not
vulnerable would have to be
modified, he said, noting that
the U.S. military position relative
to the Soviet Union has worsened.
During his stay at West Point,
Dr. Rainey also conducted a
workshop on simulation for
officers teaching social studies at
the academy.
The cadets currently are read
ing a book written by the UNC-A
faculty member, "Patterns of
American Foreign Policy," as a
class text. Dr. Rainey's appear
ance was part of a regular
lecture series at the institution.
