Chicago Maroon MIDWEEKEDITION75th Anniversary YearVol. 75-No. 40 The University of Chicago February 21, 1967Fiske Committee HoldsOpen Session on Rankby Michael KraussAnticipating that the Council of the University FacultySenate might make its decision on ranking as early as thisafternoon, the Fiske Committee held an open meeting Satur¬day morning to give students and faculty a final opportunityto express theiragainst being physically coerced,”he declared.To abolish ranking, Novick con¬tended, would not be an un-neutralact, as those who support rankinghave maintained. The University ispresently in a position of cooperat¬ing with the Selective Service Sys¬tem, and to abolish ranking wouldreturn the University to a positionof “independence, autonomy andtrue neutrality.”Novick was not impressed by ar¬guments that an end to ranking in¬terferes with a student rights.Ranking, he claimed is not a prop¬er function of the University and“students have no more a right todemand male rank from the Uni-(Continued on Page Eight)views.The meeting was called at therequest of the Committee of theCouncil and was the first openhearing the Fiske Committee hasscheduled. Only about 40 peoplewere on hand in Mandel Hall forthe reading of brief prepared state¬ments and the open discussionsthat followed. It was announcedlast week that students and facultymembers might present such state¬ments.IN THE OPENING speech, PeterNovick. assistant professor of histo¬ry, charged both sides in the con¬troversy with dragging in irrele-vancies and frequently talking non¬sense. The actual impact of ranking at UC is wildly exaggerated, hesaid. The fact that 99 percent of UCundergraduates pass the II-S deferment test makes ranking a symbol¬ic and not a practical issue."Intellectually Coerced"Novick complained that manymembers of the faculty and admin¬istration oppose abolition of therank solely because they equate theact with submission to studentpressure. “They are being intellec¬tually coerced by their reactionSAR Sit-in PossibleIf Rank Continuedby Michael Seidman Seeking New SupportNSA Rids Self of CIA;Now Looking to Futureby David L. AikenWASHINGTON—Now that the U.S. National Student Association (NSA) has purged itselfof all ties with the Central Intelligence Agency, it is mounting a campaign to attract new sup¬port for a more open organization.It has also announced that records relating to its CIA dealings will be turned over to theSenate foreign relations committee.After meeting for three soliddays last week, the association’spolicy-making National SupervisoryBoard issued a statement detail¬ing the association’s 14-year rela¬tion with the CIA, which had beenrevealed in an article in the Marchissue of Ramparts Magazine.THE BOARD then had a fewdrinks, let the tensions of the weekslip away, but then began meetingagain to plan tactics for the future.NSA representatives will soon bevisiting member and non-membercolleges, asking for their supportand ideas on changes in the asso¬ciation’s structure and procedures. Former National Supervisory 1966.Board (NSB) members currently atUC will begin their contact, with anopen meeting tomorrow at 7:30 inIda Noyes.The NSB meeting was called hur¬riedly, after advertisements byRamparts in last Tuesday’s NewYork Times and Washington Postannounced the impending publica¬tion of the article. The details ofthe NSA-CIA relationship were re¬ported to the board by past andpresent officers of the association.They revealed that “front founda¬tions” channeled money from theCIA into NSA between 1952 and At various times, CIA-connected money provided fromabout 40 to 80 percent of the asso¬ciation’s budget.At the start, the main purpose ofsupport for NSA was to enable it tosend representatives to internation¬al meetings of students, such as theInternational Student Conference(ISC).The first ISC was held in 1950 asalternative to the Communist-Journalist Blasts Ky Regimeby Howard Moffett andominated International Union ofStudents (IUS).CIA FrontsIn the wake of revelations aboutNSA's support from the CIA, it wasalso revealed that up to 95 percentof the ISC’s annual expenses areprovided by the same CIA “front”which channeled most of the CIAmoney into NSA. This front is theFoundation for Youth and StudentSAIGON (CPS)—Trang, which is not his real name, came to see me this morning.

The terms of the reso¬lution are still in effect.SAR has also announced plansfor a demonstration to be held to¬day outside Business East whilethe Council of the Faculty Senate isdiscussing the ranking question.SAR is making the following de¬mands:• That the Council turn over thedecision to the “students and facul¬ty of the College;”• That students be allowed to at¬tend the Council meeting; and• That three SAR delegates be al¬lowed to attend and address thenieeting.SAR has indicated that the dem¬onstrators will respect Universityrules. tion Cedar Falls, Ky, the assem¬bly, the price of rice, the prospectsfor civilian government. What hehud to say wouldn’t have made Mr.Johnson any happier. For example:Item: American soldiers will nev¬er beat the Vietcong.We had been talking about theU.S. attempt to raze the Vietcongjungle stronghold known as the IronTriangle, 30 miles north of Saigon.“Americans can’t defeat the Viet¬cong; only the Vietnamese can dothat,” he said. But Trang, I pro¬tested, the ARVN sure isn’t doing itnow. (The Army of the Republic ofVietnam, except for a few com¬manders and a handful of units, isnotorious for low morale, inflexibil¬ity, sluggishness and devastatingpublic relations.)“Don’t blame the ARVIN,” he re¬plied. “They are good soldiers, butthey must be led. They must havesomething to fight for. They mustbe animated by a good example.”ARVN soldiers get fed on 20 centsa day. Most of them have little con¬ception of what they are defending(presumably the Vietnamese na¬tion). Most of their officers are stillFrench-trained fat cat hacks.Item: Prime Minister Ky's credi¬bility gap is almost as wide asPresident Johnson's.“Nobody believes him,” Trangsaid. “One day he announces thatpress censorship will be lifted, thenext days the papers are full ofwhite spaces. (This is true. It hap¬pened just last week.) He shouldn’tsay things that he knows will neverbe done.” “The same thing with prices. Hesays he will do everything to keepprices down. Last month firstgrade rice was 2100 piastres perhundred kilos. Now it’s 3300.(Prices traditionally go up for Tet,the Vietnamese New Year, but a 50percent rise cannot be explainedthat way.) Just a couple of monthsago the Economy Minister an¬nounced that imported USAID ricewould be sold at 900 p’s. It’s 1600now.” And going up.Item: When the people think ofthe government, they think of twothings— American influence andcorruption.I had asked him what kind ofgovernment might expect to winthe support of the people. “Therewill be no solution that is not anationalist solution,” Trang said.(Is that so hard to understand, Mr.Johnson, Mr. Rusk, Mr. McNa¬mara?)He was not optimistic about thechances of Ky and the militarystepping aside to allow a transfer of power to a constitutionally elect¬ed civilian government: “If Kywants to stay in power, there is noreason for the Americans to allowanyone else to replace him. He’seasy to handle. He has no training,no education, no independent char¬acter. His government is full of cor¬ruption.” But Trang, I said, I havenever heard any of his critics callhim personally corrupt.“He has his own kind of corrup¬tion. One of his Air Force pilotsjust came back from the Phillip-pines and Hong Kong with 600 tran¬sistor radios. Do you think hedoesn’t know about that? Have youever been in the houses of thearmy staff?

In the 19th century, hesaid, the courts were much less tol¬erant of such movements than theyare today. Then, he said, once apractice was considered non¬religious by the majority of thepopulation,’’ the courts didn’t mindstepping on the toes of minor reli¬gions who used such a practice.”THIS ATTITUDE has softenedmore recently though. The courtsnow say that the state can inhibit a religious practice only if there is acompelling reason to do so, and ifthere is no alternative measure.“The courts make a special excep¬tion for religious objectors, “Galan¬ter said,” and the governmentmust respect the religious use ofpeyote (a hallucinogenic drug)more than peyote used just forkicks, and the government mustrespect the Seventh Day Adventist(whose religion forbids him to workon Saturday) more than the Satur¬day golfer.”But, Galanter continued, this newattitude presented the problem ofhow do you legally define religion?In 1948, he said, the Supreme Courtdefined religion as something thatwas “sincere, meaningful, and par¬amount in the lives of the peoplewho believed it.Defining Religion“Thus, “Galanter said,” thecourt really made no attempt to de¬ fine religion except in terms of pchic function.”This view, however, created a di-lemna in the case of conscientiousobjectors, he noted. The govern¬ment, according to Galanter. said-that a person could be granted conscientious objector status only, if hobased his anti-war feelings on thebelief in a supreme being. The Su¬preme Court, Galanter continued,believing that this was unfair o,non-religious persons, interpreted"‘supreme being,’ as anything which“occupies a place in the perso i smind equivalent to an orthodoxperson’s belief in God.”GALANTER SAID that this d •nition was “all right” until he;very recent phenomemon ofpie requesting conscientious objcitor status, “not because tho> ob¬jected to war in any form, but because they were against a particular w-ar.” He said that the Court isstill deciding how to classify .suchpersons, but that they would proba¬bly “eventually use some kind offancy statutory interpretation to inelude very sincere particular obi* <•tors under the conscientious oltor clause.”THE AMISH POSE a similarkind of legal problem, he pointed:out, “These people, reject worldiness in all forms ineluding etlvica- ;tion as we know it. Awl theyfri fu-cto send their children to school beyond the 8th grade.” He noted thatthe Court was still in the processof deciding what to do in this case:t People who claim to use USD asa part of their religious observ¬ance, also fall into this category,according to Galanv.famous LSD religion is, he sadDr. Timothy Leary’s League lorSpiritual Discovery.

Kahnspoke Sunday night at BreastedHallFive to ten years ago, Kahn com¬mented, most people believed thatthe bombing of any major citywould result in all out nuclear war¬fare Today, he continued attitudeshave significantly changed. Mostpeople believe that we could sur¬vive such a catastrophe.IF THE RUSSIANS did something as extravagantly provocativeas bombing an American city, saidKahn. America would be facedwith both external and internalpressures to retaliate. Internally,there would be a cry for revengeand externally there would be lossof faith. America would have toprove that it could defend both it¬self and its allies, claimed Kahn.In a situation such as this, ac¬cording to Kahn, America wouldhave to retaliate without over-retaliating and causing a thermo¬nuclear that would destroy theworld. To solve this problem, aninternational law of retaliation thatwould even the account and stopthe violence could be used.Under the rule of lex talionis,Kahn claimed, there would be aclear distinction between tit for tatand escalation. According to Kahn,if lex talionis is put into effect un¬der the auspicies of an internation¬al organization, nuclear weaponscould not be used for intimidationpurposes.Peaceful BombsKahn criticized American encour¬agement of the peaceful use of nu¬clear power. Any country workingon a nuclear reactor program can have nuclear weapons within tenyears, according to Kahn.At present Israel, India, and Ja¬pan can have nuclear weaponsimmediately, said Kahn. In tenyears, twenty more countries willbe interested in possessing nuclearweapons and in twenty years therewill be fifty nations which will beseriously considering acquiring nu¬clear weapons.According to Kahn, the presentnuclear non-proliferation treaty isnot going to solve the problem. It issimply making governments ask ofthemselves agonizing questions thatwould be better if they were de¬layed. A country which signs thetreaty must assign itself to a posi¬tion of permanent inferiority, saidKahn.KAHN ALSO offered two otherobjections to the treaty: • A government can withdrawfrom the treaty during a crisis.• The treaty tries to canonize theresults of World War II. The fivevictors of World War II who sit inthe Security Council as permanentmembers are the only nations al¬lowed to have nuclear weapons.A new nuclear policy should haveatomic weapons looking both use¬less and unusable, said Kahn. Un¬der a new policy, the only reasonfor having nuclear weapons is tonegate other nuclear weapons.The European position which as¬serts that nuclear weapons arepreventing the invasion of main¬land Europe, according to Kahn, iswrong. It is possible to fight a con¬ventional war without using nuclear weapons, Kahn continued.Also the boundaries of all Euro¬pean nations with the exception ofGermany are firm and thereforethere is no need for war in Europe.

For most, of course, their position was distressing in theextreme—to be unable to tell their constituents the full factfor fear of prosecution. This does not, however, excuse fromcensure those who actively cooperated with the CIA.NSA OFFICERS of this and last year appear in a pretty goodlight, now that the facts are known. Eugene Groves, this year’spresident, was fortunately able to avoid personal entangle¬ments, since he did not sign any security oath, and made agood start in pulling his association away from the CIA.Whether the revelation will do irreperable harm to the asso¬ciation remains to be seen, but at present it appears that theincident may eventually help NSA more than it will hurt it.For one thing, officers are no longer keeping secrets from themember schools, and no lorger feel restricted in their actionsby the necessity to keep in touch with the spy agency.Because of the greater openness within the association, thereis new hope that its proceedings may be more truly democraticthan in the past. Presumably, officers with CIA links will nolonger feel the need to try to influence the association’s standon sensitive foreign issues as they did in the past.The changes in atmosphere are of great importance, andcould have very beneficial consequences. They are not enough,however, to completely change the face of the association.NSA IS not now and has never been a truly representative,broadly based national union of students. It has not been effec¬tive in stirring changes on local campuses which need it most,campuses off the main stream of student activism. NSA’s effecton most campuses, and its worth for most students, have beenminor at best, more often non-existent.Some of its programs at least sound good. NSA was presentat the founding of SNCC and has lent its assistance to civilrights efforts through its Fast for Freedom and Books forEqual Education programs. Its Tutorial Assistance Center hasbeen of great help to students forming new tutorial projectsfor disadvantaged children. NSA has performed valuable edu¬cational functions with its conferences on student stress, andits annual congresses. No doubt, a number of student govern¬ments have benefited by its materials, advice, and assistance,and many students have taken advantage of its travel services,insurance plans, and discount card. Many student govern¬ments, however, have not felt that the benefits of membershipwere great enough to warrant the expenses.Nevertheless, we feel that it would be a tragic mistake towithdraw support from the association at this point, just as itsleadership is embarking on a fresh course. It is quite possiblethat the international activities of the association will be drop¬ped. They would not be missed. Too many officers in pas|years spent too much time on overseas activities—presumablyincluding sleuthing—and neglected programs of more concreteinterests to member schools.There has been a movement toward incr^fised domestic ac¬tivity in recent years, however, and this should be strength¬ened. This is not really what can be called an isolationist view¬point, but rather a recognition of what a national union ofstudents should be doing for its members before it embarks onforeign adventures.In any case, NSA appears to be alive and fairly healthy, nowthat the skeletons in the closet have been kicked out. m mm .4'Letters to the Editormmmm t it C &.#■.• WChicago MaroonEditor-in-Chief ..David A.

Gumpert regarding theRangers’ restaurant. He wouldhave us believe that the Rangersare the “least prepared to pioneerBlack Power,” that one “doesn’tchange from a street brawler andmugger to a responsible business¬man overnight,” and even if onedid, it “is not of momentous im¬portance.” Furthermore he bringsup the “question” of “encourag¬ing them to remain a gang.”I don’t think that anybody inthe University community willdispute that (a) the Rangers areblack, and (b) they have power.So Mr. Gumpert must have some¬thing else in mind when he writesof Black Power — I will not ven¬ture to guess what. If he possess¬es documented evidence thatthose Rangers who are eager tobecome responsible businessmenare all proven “street brawlers”and “Muggers” then he should letus in on it— otherwise he shouldnot damn the whole organizationbecause of rumors of the activi¬ties of certain members of it.But what I most disagree withis the contention that the restau¬rant is not of momentous impor¬tance. I can’t think of anythingmore important to the “averageBlackstone Ranger” or anybodyelse who lives in a ghetto than acooperative business venture runby and for members of his owngroup of friends. The restaurantis a symbol of the constructivepotential of every single memberof the Rangers. Even if an indi¬vidual Ranger doesn’t see a centof the profits, he will carry in hisheart the feeling of “we did it,”which is infinitely more impor¬tant. After the restaurant is suc¬cessful— and it will be — manymore economically importantventures will follow.Finally, I think it is quite clearthat the Rangers will remain a“gang” (I prefer the term “orga¬nization”) whether or not theyare encouraged by Mr. Gumpert.J. D. LEAVITTProject Merits SupportTO THE EDITOR:This letter is in reply to Mr.Gumpert’s column of (Maroon,February 17) in which he at¬tacked the Blackstone Rangers’.^restaurant plan. Mr. Gumpert im¬plies that the past failures by po¬lice and other government offi¬cials to bring the Rangers undercontrol are attributable solely tothe n#tq^e*>f the g£ng, especiallytheir need “to assert their mascu¬linity. . . through violence.”First, it should be made clearthat the Rangers live under acode where one of the most im¬portant concepts is “keepingone’s word.” The police were notentirely blameless in their han¬dling of the weapons turn-in oflast year. Their seems to havebeen a breach of promise on theirpart which caused the Rangers toreconsider the pact.Second, the job project was atoo simple, single-factor approachto a multi-factor, complex situa¬tion which has been developingfor many years, and which willnot be solved by a single-prongedapproach. The problem of ourrestless, urban youth is not indig¬enous to Chicago, but one that isfaced by every urban area in ourcountry.Third, young people involved inthe Rangers have been facedtime-and-again with the powerstructure’s attempts to bringthem back into the mainstream ofsociety. The myth of the “Ameri¬can dream?/ is all t<«r clears the Rangers’ leaders. Society hasmade many promises to them inthe past which it couldn’t ke’ep.Finally, the First PresbyterianChurch’s attempts to channel thecreative energies of the Rangersinto a positive, socially-aceeptabledirection are noted by Mr. Gum¬pert as “interesting.” They couldbetter be termed “revolutionary.”Granted, the answers to the al¬most insoluble problems of oururban areas lie in a radicalchange of many of our institutionswhich today are essentially rein¬forcing and perpetuating the ex¬isting inequalities. Drasticchanges are necessary in theschool systems, the churches, thebusiness community (especiallyin real estate), and in the politicalstructure of our communities.Massive Federal and state expend¬itures are needed for housing;health centers; schools; parksand other recreation facilities, in¬cluding community centers;transportation; and job-trainingand job-creating projects if theproblems are ever to be methead-on.The First Presbyterian Churchrealizes that these changes willnot be made in the near future, ifever, and its approach has beento work from the opposite end ofthe spectrum—self-help projectsutilizing the existing communityresources (the Blackstone Rang¬ers are a human resource of thecommunity). The idea of self-helpis obviously the underlying ration¬ale for the Rangers’ restaurantventure.If the venture fails, it will notbe because it wasn’t tried. If itsucceeds, even though only asmall minority of the Rangerscan participate, it could serve asan example of what can be donewith local initiative coupled witha dash of entrepreneurship in theAmerican tradition. What betterway for the Rangers to “asserttheir masculinity,” as Mr. Gum¬pert puts it.Don’t say that it will fail be¬cause it is an effort in Black Pow¬er, or because it will not help allthe Rangers. Rather, let’s givethem all the encouragement andsupport possible, including ourpatronage.LEN OLIVER"Spurious Defense"TO THE EDITOR: JU jDavid Aiken’s spurious defenseof the National Student Associa¬tion (The New York Times, Feb¬ruary 16) is that the money camefrom “as good a source as anyother.” I wonder if Mr. Aikenwould defend Charles VanDoren’s acceptance of a lesseramount for deceiving nothingmore than the television publicand his academic calling.The basic tenets of this callingare openess, honesty, service, andintegrity. This code applies equal¬ly to professors and students.Transgressions of this code can¬not be excused by expediency,confession or contrition. Noamount of money is more valu¬able than the integrity of the or¬ganization and its members. Theplea that the NSA opposed apar¬theid and other social evils is nojustification. To oppose murdergives no one the right to commitrape.The actions of the Central Intel¬ligence Agency suprise nobody.They have only shown themselvesto be dumber and more inclinedto policy making than we thought.The onus for their existence restson the voting public and especial¬ly our morally and politicallyblind legislators. The actions ofNSA and its leaders are our re¬ sponsibility. Good causes and or¬ganizations to promote them arenot dififcult to find and found. In¬tegrity is something gained onlywith difficulty and easily lost for-ever.I can only hope that the Univer¬sity of Chicago and other schoolswill show the same prompt recog¬nition of the inescapable moralchoice that was shown by Colum¬bia University when they prompt¬ly terminated their relationshipwith Mr. Van Doren.MARK BOSTWICKMENLO PARK, CALIF(Editor's note: According to Mr.Aiken, "At least this goes to showthat the Maroon is not the onlynewspaper which misquotes people.Any remark I may have made aboutthe CIA being as good a source ofmoney as any, was certainly notslated the way it came out in TheTimes. I am not now, nor have Iever been, a CIA fink, nor do Ithink NSA was all morally defensi¬ble in tying itself to the CIA tothe extent that it did")Aldermanic Aid AppealTO THE EDITOR:Clark Kissinger’s campaign foralderman in the 47th ward pre¬sents an opportunity for those opposed to the war in Viet Nam toexpress their dissatisfaction in aconcrete and constructive form.Mr. Kissinger is the only candi¬date in this election whose plat¬form includes vigorous oppositionto the war, and his candidacy rep¬resents a thoughful analysis ofthe conditions which make bothslums and the war possible.Kissinger’s position is thatthese conditions can only bechanged by building an organiza¬tion at the grass-roots level. Hehopes to weld present discontentinto an effective political basis.His approach seems to hold morepromise than any individual orcollective attempts at “moralsuasion.” It is not very likely thatMr. Kissinger will win this timearound— but it is crucial that or¬ganization begin now, and that itcontinue when the election isover.Running as an Independentagainst entrenched political or¬ganizations, Mr. Kissinger is atan obvious disadvantage andmust rely on volunteers to helpcover a large (96 precincts) area.'Workers are needed urgently asthe February 28th Election Dayapproaches, especially for:• Door to door canvassing, any¬time, but particularly on theweekend preceding the election.• Posting handbills on telephonepoles, and replacing them as theyare torn down by the regulardemocratic and republican organ¬izations.• Pollwatching on election day(registered Illinois voters are pre¬ferred).• Working sound trucks.• Leafleting “L” stops.Kissinger campaign headquar¬ters is located in the 47th ward, at1236 W. Devon, (which is abouta block from the Loyola-Sheridan“L” stop) and the phone numberis 338-5872.It’s the eighth week of the quar¬ter, and “spare time” is scarce.But if you’re really bugged bywhat’s going on in Viet Nam, dosomething concrete: “spare”some time this week to help ClarkKissinger.

No NSA campusco-ordinators, student body presi¬dents, or regional officers knew thedetails of the relationship, nor didmembers of the chief policy¬making board of the NSA until lastAugust.Security ChecksWhen an officer passed the secu¬rity check, a CIA agent or, in somecases, a former NSA officer, ap¬proached the officer, telling himihe government would allow himaccess to classified informationwhich would be helpful to him inhis foreign contacts. He was thenasked to sign a government securi¬ty oath. This read, in part, “inten¬tional or negligent violation of thissecrecy agreement may subject meto prosecution under the espionagelaws of the United States of Ameri¬ca.’’ Penalty for violation could beup to 20 years in prison.According to Brown, after the of¬ficer signed the oath, he was toldthe full details of involvement withthe CIA, and instructed to keep intouch with CIA agents during tripsabroad to report on their contacts.AFTER THEY HAD signed theoath, Brown commented, “theywere trapped. They couldn’t tellanyone of the relationship. This isthe part I find to be most disgust¬ing—that people were duped into arelation which they could not di¬vulge. This is the real horror ofthe involvement,” Brown said.He noted that the informationpassed on to the CIA was gathered"in the normal business of the as¬sociation. We didn’t try to find in¬formation about numbers of air¬planes or their design.”Reports from NSA representa¬tives who had no knowledge of the jthe CIA or “front” foundations, andted to the CIA by “witty” officersbefore they were inserted in NSA’sfiles, Brown said.According to NSA sources, reallydeep involvement of NSA in trans¬mitting information developed onlyduring the late fifties, around 1957or 58. By that time, some formerNSA officers had been employed bythe CIA or “front” foundations, andwere presumably still able to exertsome influence in the association.In recent years, NSA officershave been trying to find alternatesources of funds, to enable the as¬sociation to gradually break awayfrom the CIA. This effort foundgreatest success last year, underNSA President Philip Sherburne, aUniversity of Oregon graduate nowstudying at Harvard Law School.CIA and Mental HealthWhile only little additional moneyhas come from private legitimatefoundations in the past year, therehas been success in arranging fi¬nancing of new domestic projects by other government departments.These have included a Tutorial As¬sistance Center, operated under acontract with the Office of Econom¬ic Opportunity, and a series of con¬ferences of student stress and men¬tal health, funded by the NationalInstitute of Mental Health.There is still great doubt aboutthe possibility of finding newsources of support for the associa¬tion’s international activities, how¬ever. Unless new, preferably pri¬vate money is secured, there issome danger that the associationwill end its international activitiesand call back its overseas repre¬sentatives. The NSB last week an¬nounced that credentials of NSAforeign representatives have al¬ready been suspended, pending adecision on what the association’soverseas activities will be.IN ADDITION to the problem offunds, there is, of course, the hand¬icap that NSA now appears to theworld as a government “front,” inits foreign dealings. A staff mem¬ber has been quoted as saying “ourcredibility is destroyed” overseas.Almost all the money donated bythe CIA went into the association’sinternational activities. For a longtime, NSA members and criticspointed out that the association’sinternational commission seemedto be operating entirely autono¬mously, with practically no effec¬tive control by the NSB or, in someyears, even by the president.In any event, Edward Schwartz,this year’s National & Affairs VicePresident and an NSB member lastyear, learned of the ties. WhenEugene Groves, current NSA Presi¬dent, returned from Oxford Univer¬sity, where he studied last yearunder a Rhodes fellowship, to runfor the presidency Schwartz in¬formed Groves.Since Groves and Schwartz werethe first officers of NSA who knewabout the arrangement before theirelection, they were able to takesteps to move away. They notifiedCIA that no more money was to betransmitted to the association, ex¬cept for a single grant of $25,000which was needed to support theactivities of Richard Stearns, theInternational Affairs Vice Presi¬dent.NONE OF the present NSA offi¬cers signed the CIA security oath.According to Groves, he has metwith CIA agents only a couple oftimes, and has not been active intransmitting any information to theagency.Wood was fired very shortly afterthe current officers took their postslast fall. He was the primarysource of information for the Ram¬parts article. The firing was for“sheer incompetence,” accordingto Groves.The following table shows how much of NSA’s incomecame from CIA “front” foundations since 1952, when thesubsidy began.

BookshesterThe Collegiate Press ServiceWASHINGTON — In thewake of the disclosure of tiesbetween the National StudentAssociation and the CentralIntelligence Agency, people are dis¬appearing.Bob, who as the director of Cov¬ert Action Division Number Fivewas the CIA’s liaison with NSA,has vanished. A few weeks ago,you could contact him by callingthe Agency for International Devel¬opment. Yesterday, AID officialssaid there was no record he hadever worked for the agency.And there is Manuel. When lastseen, Manuel was travelling be¬tween New York and California. Hewas said to be working for the Re¬gional Development Administrationof the Commerce Department. Thisweek, the Commerce Departmentsaid, had no listing for Manuel.IN THE LATE 1950's, Manuelwas NSA’s Latin American assist¬ant. It was the time of the silentgeneration, yet Manuel was an ac¬tivist. He made contact with theChristian Democratic movement inthe Americas; he met with UnitedStates international affairs groups.He also made contact with theCIA. Bob, w'ho later became theCovert Action Division’s liaisonman, was NSA’s president duringManuel’s tenure as Latin Americanassistant.Manuel left NSA and returned toschool. He spent some time on aWest Coast campus. And he devel¬ oped a reputation for being ubiqui¬tous. Manuel was seen everywhere:he was in Latin America, he at¬tended meetings of the reportedlyCIA-linked United States YouthCouncil, he visited NSA’s officesperiodically.Intercontinental ResearchThen Manuel flowered. In 1964,together with such old NSA staffersas Bob of the Covert Action Divi¬sion, he founded IntercontinentalResearch, Inc., in Washington.Located in a suite of ten offices,Intercontinental was supposed to beavailable on a consultant basis toanyone who needed “research”done. Participants in NSA’s Inter¬national Student Relations Seminarattended the cocktail party cele¬brating the opening of Interconti¬nental’s offices.This week, Intercontinentalwasn’t answering its phones. Thedoor was bolted, and there was noone looking through the peephole todetermine whether you were ad-missable.Manuel had another job in 1964.He was vice-president of the Inter¬national Development Foundation,which receives substantial portions1of its income from CIA sources.DURING 1964, International De¬velopment received $60,000 fromthe respectable Benjamin Rosen¬thal Foundation of New York. Ros¬enthal’s sources were not as re¬spectable, as the money had beenreceived from the Tower Fund($40,000) and the Edsel Fund($20,000). Both Tower and Edsel have been cited as CIA conduits.Tower and Edsel also funneledmoney to International Develop¬ment through other supposedly le¬gitimate foundations.Sitting in International Develop¬ment’s New York offices at 205 E.42nd St., Manuel administeredfunds said by his organization to beused for developing “leadership forsocial development in the emergingcountries.”Interestingly, another formerNSA international assistant, Rob¬ert, is one of the board members ofInternational Development.$300,000 Give-AwayIn his position, Manuel gavemore than $300,000 yearly to var¬ious Christian Democratic groupsin the Americas.Somehow, in its efforts to developleadership in the emerging coun¬tries, International Developmentalso found money to finance groupslike Institute for InternationalYouth Affairs in New York. The In¬stitute is best known for publicationofJthe rigidly anti-Communist mag¬azine, “Youth and Freedom.”When Mapuel left InternationalDevelopment late in 1965, supposed¬ly to work for the Commerce De¬partment, his job was taken byNancy.Nancy had formerly worked inLatin American programming forthe United States Youth Council.International Development says sheis not in the country.And the Commerce Departmentsays it never heard of Manuel.Examining produce in an open-air marketplace in Lisbon is one way to broaden one's knowl¬edge of the ways of the Portuguese people.

We can only assume that neither the actors nor the director ever tookthe time to read the script sensitively. In no other way can we explain the negligible resem¬blance of their efforts to anything O’neill wrote.A Touch of the Poet is the onlyfully completed play of O’Neill’s in¬tended cycle - “a tale of possessorsself-dispossessed.” In the cycle O’¬Neill wanted to trace out the heri¬tage of an Irish-American familyfrom their arrival here in the 1820’sto the present. If this play can beused as an example, the intentionwas to show how a “pipe dream”takes hold of the characters so thatthey are never able to know whothey are. The nature of this dreamis social and materialistic and itcan either be part of a somewhatimagined past or a hoped for fu¬ture. Yet, behind this illusion is adesire for something beautifulwhich is greater than the represen¬tation the character is able tomake of it to those around him. Itis this beauty which is referred toas the ‘‘touch of the poet.” If onlythis desire for greatness actuallycould be fulfilled, a truly heroicdrama would be created. But thisis not the case. The characters arefrustrated and thwarted so fierce antagonism throughout theplay between Con Melody and Saraas each one threatens to crush theothers dream and self-image. Yet,all the time we are aware that it istheir destiny to destroy the dreamby fighting between themselves forit.This complicated love and haterelationship between father anddaughter can only be shownthrough great acting. Neither Den¬holm Elliott, who played Melody,nor Jeanne Hepple, who playedSara, were able to scratch the sur¬face of their roles. Instead of Com¬plexity a simplistic sentimentalismreigned, reducing the play to ba¬thos. The rest of the acting was worse. Not one brogue in an Irishplay, but instead stage cockney?Nora Melody, Con’s wife, wasplayed by Priscilla Morrill whothought she was playing a soap op¬era heroine. Instead of the peasantworn down by service whichO’Neill demands in the script, weget a middle aged Ann Landers. Theonly good bit of acting in the wholeplay was Sloane Shelton’s Deborah.Although she was only on the stagefor three minutes, she had realcommand and an understanding ofwhat she was doing. This is parti¬cularly hard, for Deborah has someextremely long speeches, and itwas a pleasant surprise to wake upto them. AS FOR JACK Sydow’s directing,there war very little of it; however,it would be unfair to give all theblame to the actors who, if theyhad any sensitivity, were probablysuffering too. It is impossible inthis play to miss the author’s inten¬tions. TTie stage directions O’Neillsupplies are, if anything, too ex¬plicit. Sydow not only did not fulfillthese specific demands, but did ev¬erything possible to misrepresentthe author. As for the art Sydowdisplayed in getting an actor to cir¬cle another actor sitting in a chair, many ring masters have been moresuccessful at making tbis saaemaneuver at least interesting. Acatalogue of unmotivated stage ac¬tion in this production could fill tencolumns. Yet, all this carelessnesswould not have been quite so bad ifeven a little O’Neill had sneakedthrough. But, alas, this was not thecase and so America’s only reallygreat playwright will have to waituntil some other national repertorycompany will put in the necessaryeffort and craft to do bis plays.Andrew HarrisHELP!The Other Siefe needs your help.
