Resolution 435 (ihc
Namibian independence
plan adopted by (he UN
Security Councill can be
implemented," said
Mozambican' Foreign
Minister Joaquim
Chissano.
"I don't understand
why the problems bet
ween the United States
of America and Angola
should be causing this
delav, since the United
States has told us the two
issues are not linked."
Chissano also said that
his talks with Shall had
opened the way for
"much better" relations
between .Mozambique
and the U.S. This wil.
enable the two govern
ments to discuss the
Namibian issue produc
tively, he added.
The pressure on ilu
administration has also
come from Capitol Hil'
in the form of a letter ot
concern about Namibia
from the 30-membcr
conservative. Republican
Steering Group iii the
Senate. One of a scries of
foreign policy prv
nouncemcnts by
group, which are sent to
senior officials marked
"secret", the letter ex
pressed concern about
the future of the
Angolan dissident move-
' mcnt UNITA should the1
U.S. reach an agreement
with Angola and
recognize the .Marxist
government there.
The letter also took
issud with reported
statements by ad
ministration officials ex
pressing optimism about
a Namibian settlement'
when it has been unable
to deliver.
Dr. Michael Pillsbtirv.
an, aide to Senator Orin
Hatch, foreign policy
coordinator for the
group, visited Namibia
in June and has main
tained contact with
various leaders there
sinjec. In a telephone in
terview, Pillsbury refus
ed to discuss the contents
of the letter, saying "It's
so secret. 1 am surprised
you found out about it."
But he said the group'
maintained a keen in
terest in the fate of
UNITA, whose leader
Jonas Savimbi was
hosted at a. luncheon by
the Steering Group
chairman , Senator Jesse
Helms, when Savimbi
visited Washington lasi
December.
These pressures arc
just one aspect of the dif
ficulties facing the ad
ministration. In the case
of South Africa, for ex
ample, regional security
concerns go beyond the
issues of Namibian in
dependence and Cuban
troop presence to the in
filtration through
"neighboring states of
..anti-government guer
rillas from the African
National Congress, the
outlawed political movc
1 menl that enjoys wide
support among blacks.
In exchange for a clc
escalation of attacks or
other states in the region
South Africa is believed
to be pressuring for an
end to the ANC military
presence in these coun
tries. A report filed last
week by John Matisonn,
Washington correspond
dent for the Rund jhuilv
Mail in Johannesburg
says this topic was an
item under discussion
during Casey's trip. But
State Department
sources disputed i lie
report; saying the U.S.
was not ready to
"touch" that issue at
this critical juncture in
the Namibian ,a.nd

Koontz told the audience

workshop entitled,
"Scholastic , Excellence r

Dr. Koontz, former
director of the Women's
Bureau of the : U.S.
Department of Labor
and president of the Na
tional Education
Association in 1968, was
the featured speaker at a
seminar for high school
students sponsored by
the , Home Economics
Department at North
Carolina Central Univer
sity, and Kappa Omicron
Phi. the national home
economics honor society-
'Community
resources are important.
They have been cut,"
Dr. Koontz said. "I
predict that this (the
Reagan) administration,
like all other administra
tions, will attempt in the
next year to put a seal on
some new programs that
will do most of the things

major from Charlotte, is
one of only a few Central
students not struggling,
one way or the other,
with money. Her educa
tion is being financed by
her family and her owr
savings.
This year, Central has
about 5,000 students,
many of whom are col
lege transfers, as well as
quite a number of
foreign students.
"Over the past five or
six years, more students
have been transferring
from the community col
leges in their home towns
to four year schools,"
said Mrs. Nancy
Rowland, Central's
director of
undergraduate admis
sions. "I am sure that
the economic situation is
the reason for this."
these old programs did,
but we will hurt by the
time it gets done."
Home economics was
one pr6gram that suf
fered major cuts due to
an image of "stirring
and . stitching", Dr.
Koontz said. Although
the ! image of home
economics has started to
change, Dr.! Koontz ex
plained V that home
economics; still has not
achieved an image as a
leader in rrfodern ap
pliances and technology.
Home economics of
fers solutions to pro
blems that we are all con
cerned with, Dr. Koontz
said, including eating,
fashion, the environ
ment, v and health
hazards. She emphasized
that people who have a
specialty in finding or of
fering - solutions must
become political to get
these solutions accepted.
Dr. Koontz noted thai
people need to know
more than ever knew
before because of the
changes occurring in
technology. Students
should be aware that the
population is growing
older and living longer
which is a challenge for
those looking at the
elements which affect all
people. "While the baby
boom is over, the same
statistics prevail." She
added that, these
statistics indicate that the
problems are still visible.
"We must still strive to
function as human be
ings." Students must realize
that there is too much to
learn and it cannot alf
come from the
classroom. "In home
economics, the whole
business , 6 survival is
going down the drain in
too many places many
people who have never
learned how to ; survive
are the losers," Dr.
Koontz stated.
Dr. Koontz believes
that preparation and
knowing in advance
what is important arc
kevs to changing the
groundwork in - home
economics, to improving
the value system. t'Start
.where you can succeed
.and' achieve,"- she told
the students., i; : ;
- In "her t closing
remarks, Dr. Koontz
asked the students to ac
cept some of the respon
sibility for improving
society :- through con
tributions to home
economics. ; ?,7
; "So why don't you ac
cept a responsibility for
improving this society of
which you are a part,
and will be a part, by
looking seriously at, the
whole , arena . of
economics which is much
more than home
economics, and decide
-this is where , you will
make your contribution,
not only to your; race",
not only to your people. '
but to people wherever
, you live, because j it's
transferable from pne
continent to another."
