President's policy
on foreign affairs
gets mixed review
Reagan vacations
after opening
Summer Olympics
United Press International
President Reagan settled in for a summer
vacation at his ranch in Santa Barbara, Cal-if.,
Sunday, facing mixed ratings in his for-eign
policy, according to a recent poll, but
basking in the afterglow of an " absolutely
magnificent" opening ceremony of the Sum-mer
Olympics
Some work will intrude during his two
weeks at Rancho del Cielo in the mountains
above Santa Barbara, with a decision possi-ble
this week on lifting sanctions against Po-land
in the aftermath of the release of Solida-rity
political prisoners
And with Congress in session, legislation
will be flown to California for his action, par-ticularly
a bill he favors that allows me use
of public classrooms for religious meetings
and a bill he recommended to give Social Se-curity
recipients continuing costof -- living ad-justments.
A Barns Poll published in the Aug 6 issue
of Business Week showed that Reagan's
overall foreign policy rating with the Ameri-can
people has improved in recent months,
but tiie negative views on specific foreign is-sues
has risen sharply
" Only slightly more man half the public
now considers his ( foreign policy) perform-ance
to have been fair to poor, down from
two- thir- ds in a survey taken one year ago,"
the magazine reported.
When asked if the world is safer and the
danger of war diminshed as a result of Rea-gan's
policies, 61 percent said no, compared
to 33 percent who said yes
On specific areas, however, the negatives
" rose sharply," the magazine said.
For example- -
By a margin of 65 percent to 33 percent,
Americans feel Reagan is " risking another
Vietnam by interventionist policies in Cen-tral
America"
In Nicaragua, 55 percent feel " it is
wrong for the CIA to help finance the anh- SandBU- Sta
forces " Thirty- eig- ht percent fa-vor
the policy
y Two- thir- ds said Reagan mishandled the
situation in Lebanon, and 57 percent trunk
the loss of LTJS military personnel and the
ensuing retreat from Beirut damaged the
credibility of the United States
The magazine also said that more than
half of those polled said defense spending
had gotten out of hand, and almost half said
that " while it's good to have someone as
president who is firm with ( he Russians, I
worry that he night get us into another
war."
But pagaentry not polls was the topx Sat-urday
night as Reagan announced the offi-cial
opening of me Olympic Games and
viewed the ceremony in the press box where
he watched many Los Angeles Rams games
during his tenure ac California governor.
Reagan joined the nearly 100,000 specta-tors
in loudly applauding the stadium arrival
of the Romanian team, the only East Bloc
country to defy the Soviet boycott.
" Absolutely magnificent out of tins
world," he told guests in his box, including
Olympic officials, Los Angeles Mayor Tom
Bradley, Secretary of State George Shuttz
and Attorney General William French
Smith.
He also greeted world favorite, Nadia Co- man- ea,
star of the 1976 Olympics. Just as
Reagan was bang introduced for She official
opemng statement by International Olympic
Committee President Juan Antonio Sama-ranch,
who noted the record number of
teams competing, Shultz told his wife, in
earshot of reporters :
" Eat your heart out Chemenko."
Controversy
over Burford
continues
WASHINGTON ( UPI) - Former EPA
chief Anne Burford is slated to start her new
job this week as head of a government advi-sory
panel that she called " a joke," as Con-gress
debates a resolution to coademn her
return to the Reagan administration.
Burford is scheduled to take over Thurs-day
as chairwoman of the National Advisory
Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere,
when the panel will begin two days of meet-ings
in Washington.
A dump- Bur- f ord campaign, however, has
swept to the House where a floor vote is ex-pected,
possibly Tuesday, on a resolution
calling on President Reagan to withdraw

Men help each other control abusive behavior
By Anne- Mari- e Oodart
Missourian staff writer
Most men are violent and abusive toward
women because they do not know other trays
of expressing their anger, say three mem-bers
of Brothers Resolved Against Violence
and Oppression. The three also agree that vi-olence
and abuse are learned behaviors that
can be changed when men learn to deal with
their anger and rviiTimuniratfttv'lrfeeiings.

with the OoJmmhia Rape Crisis Cen-ter,
at a convention hem by a men's group in
St Louis. They realized there was no service
available to belpi violent and abusive men in
ColumjMs, so they organized BRAVO.
Although BRAVO is apt affiliated with any
other men's groups, its members keep jn

country in an effort to improve their free

" Violence is an extreme form of abuse,"
Wilson says.
BRAVO members agree that men often
are violent toward women because they
watched their ftfftrf batter their mothers
and were brought up in a perpetual climate
of violence and abusewttevemsnormal.
" Usually young boys that are victimized
' and abused at borne have so outlet for their
anger, so when they become adults they re-sort
to violence to relieve their put frustra-tions,"
says another BRAVO member. Bob
DuPibs.
DuPuis and Kula admit baying bom abu-sive
and sometimes violent to the past Tfaey
say they learned such behavior during child-hood.
They say violence and abuse are also be-haviors
perpetrated bysociety.
" There to a cultural condaoroag became
men are tsogLt that tfaey need to be to con-trol
while women are raised as followers,"
PwPyjseays.
' Generally women victims of violence and
abuse are submissive and learned to love,
honor andobey tne male," Wilson says.
He also says the victim usually does not
leave the male abuser because her family
and friends reinforce her good- wif- e behav-ior.
" Men look at women as objects or prop-erty,
which means that tfaey feel they have
the right and the privilege to batter them,"
says Kula, who has also been involved with
the local women's movement
" Society, mainly through television, con-stantly
normalizes and perpetrates violence
and women's degradation," Kula says.
" Men perceive women as second class dUr
Km and inferiors"
That normalizing of violence may esplain
why men exert their expected power and
strengh upon women.

myths about the roles ef men and women are
