"He wants to talk about the issues and I think he'll be more open now that he's not a candidate. I think he'll remain a strong political force." Hart, 50, dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination earlier this year after reports of his alleged affair with Donna Rice, a model, actress and pharmaceutical saleswoman from Miami. Hart represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate from 1975 until 1987, and he made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984.

"One thing we're attempting to do with IMPACT '88 is to present the is- sues not only from an American perspective but to provide for the foreign perspective as well." The issues for the 20th IMPACT symposium: Competition in the world marketplace and the role of the United States in Central America. "We've gone from being the largest creditor nation at the end of World War II to being the largest debtor," Parsi said. "Protectionism versus free trade is an issue that will carry over to the next century."

The university will retain an option to buy back the property in 12 years. Much of the university's income from the property will be tax exempt.
