China made no secret of its disappointment, the Soviets sent mixed signals and a warning on SALT and Iran said it would not affect the hostage crisis. While major allies withheld official comment beyond pro forma congratulations to the president-elect, privately their reactions were mixed and tinged with doubts over whether America would become more or less isolationist under GOP stewardship. The only nations openly greeting Reagan's election with relief were rightists in Latin America and Asia, whose regimes have been sweating under President Carter's human rights campaign. In Western Europe, hopes that Regan will infuse a new sense of leadership into the flagging alliance were tempered by fears that he understands little of East-West and economic issues and is not predisposed toward detente. In the Middle East, both Israeli and Arab officials saw Reagan's victory as being to Israel's advantage. Camp David Ronald Reagan (I PI was Carter's biggest foreign policy triumph and Egyptians photo). asked whether Reagan "would have the same interest in continuing the process.

Page 2 The Connecticut Daily Campus, Thursday, November 6,1980 LETTERS University needs integrity To the editor: A geek does disgusting acts for profit -- puts live chicken or snake heads in his mouth and bites them off, for instance, or eats live caterpillars or toads, or... but that's enough. Geeks don't exist alone; they make their profit from creeps, who will pay to see the toad eaten, the sheep buggered, the woman shamed. Every society has geeks and creeps, and every society despises them. Except at UConn. The geek has two criteria for any act: Will it make a profit? Can I get away with it? At UConn, these are also the criteria of the society. Two cases will illustrate this. First, a dormitory of creeps shows to other creeps a pornographic movie made by geeks. Does the student body express disgust? Not at all. Its voice, the student newspaper, defends the event and uses geek criteria to do so: the movie wasn't illegal and the showing made money.

This time let's see what the university's president says... and sure enough he uses the geek criteria: "I'd be doing something illegal if I stopped it," he says. But he warns that it might be unprofitable: "This type of behavior Time to get doesn't look good when I have to go before the Board of Trustees or governor to request money for the school."
