Ramparts Reveals GIA Control;
Students And Government Talk
The United States Cen
tral Intelligence Agency
(CIA) was described Wed
nesday by Ramparts mag
azine, as exerting so much
control over the National
Student Association (NSA)
"that it treated NSA as an
arm of United States for
eign policy."
The NSA has 1.300,000
members on 300 affiliated
campuses. There has been
some talk of the ASUN
joining the organization but
no action has been taken.
Ramparts magazine
stated that for ten years
the CIA had used the NSA
as an organization to gath
er anti-Communist intell
igence. It was charged by S a m
Brown, a Harvard divinity
student who is chairman
of the NSA's national super
visory board, that NSA of
ficials were put under
"fantastic pressures" not
to reveal the association's
CIA link.
However, past presidents
of the NSA said Saturday
that association officials
were not "trapped" into
working for the CIA.
One former president
said "It is preposterous to
say we were coerced into
taking the money. Most
people thought it was a
good idea, because it gave
us the ability to carry out
the goals of the organiza
tion." W. Dennis Shaul, pres
ident of NSA in 1962-63,
said that the revulsion felt
by NSA officers towards
the CIA link resulted from
diminished Cold War ten
sions. Other factors named by
Shaul were the disclosures
of the CIA's secret activ
ities and the increasing op
position of college students
to the Federal government
and its institutions.

'Morrison and Tiemann that
ithe University "could begin

The Chancellor also com

University tuition should be
"kept at as low a level as

People To People Cuts Number
Of Committees, Outlines Activities
A streamlined organiza
tion and more informal ac
tivities were among the
changes formulated at the
People-to-People board
meeting Sunday, according
to Pam Kot, the new presi
dent. "This year we hope to in
corporate more students
than ever into the pro
gram," she said. "The pur
pose of People - to - People
(PTP) is to help foreign
students adjust to the uni
versity environment but we
would like to see more
American students involv
ed also."
"The program cannot be
effective without meaning
ful interrelation
ships between foreign and
American students," she
added.
"In order to make PTP
more efficient we have
made it more compact,"
Miss Kot continued. "There
will only be three commit
tees this semester social,
publicity, and student-to-student."
"Also, we've added inter
national g t u d e n t s to the
PTB Board as co-chairmen
of two committees," she
added. "The co-chairman of
th.e social committee will be
Juan Bidart and the co
chairman of the Student-to-Student
committee will be
Robbie Maniktala."
Miss Kot noted that the
main event of PTP this se
mester will be the Interna
March issue of Ramparts
magazine in Tuesday's
New York Times and
Washington Post.
The author of the article,
which claimed to disclose
CIA infiltration of student
g r o u p s is Michael Wood,
who was fired as an NSA
staff member last Septem
ber. In a statement Tuesday
afternoon, NSA confirmed
a financial connection with
the CIA, and the State
Department admitted the
twelve-year association at
a press conference.
Ramparts magazine
stated that NSA staff mem
bers would report to t h e
CIA on international stu
dent leaders that they met
abroad.
This helped the CIA in
evaluating the political ten
dencies of prospective pol
itical leaders in critical
areas of the w o r 1 d," ac
cording to Ramparts.
For this information, the
CIA was reported to have
contributed hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year
to the NSA and provided
draft deferments for its
staff members.
In the CPS release the
NSA's statement regard
ing the relationship was:
"The relationship appar
ently originiated because
the CIA believed that a
strong American national
union of students acting in
ternationally was in the na
tional interest.
"The funds from the CIA
supported a number of pro
jects, assisting student
groups abroad and par
tially supporting the staff
necessary to maintain con
tinuing contact with student
organizations in other
countries."
The statement continued,
by saying that in 1965 the
officers of NSA were "intol
erable, and inconsistent
with the ideal of an open,
democratic student organi
zation." The statement concluded
To State
sents a 91.48 per cent in
crease over the 1965-67 ap
proriation. The University has been
forced to ask the Legislature
for a supplemental appropri
ation to make up for low
funds this biennium. The bill
dealing with the request,
LB440, is pending in the Uni
cameral. In announcing the budget
figures, Greenburg asserted
the University "has reached
a moment of truth and crisis."
The Regents cited burgeon
ing enrollments, doubled in
the past seven years, in
creased competition for qual
itv faculty and increased
needs of the state as primary
reasons for the funds asked.
Part of the University's
budget proposal outlined the
tional Buffet to be held
April 16. "It will be simi
lar to the one held last
fall." she said.
"Sometime this semester
we will begin a survey into
the possibilities of housing
foreign students from other
countries in fraternities and
sororities as guests." Miss
Kot continued.

The Government's ex

According to Mrs. Margo

Mrs. Williams stated that

Petitions,
Rising Costs of Education
Increased tuition and dor

number of universities as
students continued to pro
test the rising cost of higher
education.
More than 1,500 Univer

signed a petition circulated
by the Committee on Uni

in-state and out-of-state tui

Pass-Fail Mistakes
Due To Restrictions
Only a few students who
registered for courses un
der the new pass-fail sys
tem have not received them
with the pass-fail privileges,
according to Tom Van Vel

analyst.
"If a student knows he
hasn't received the class
under the pass-fail system
and it was marked pass
fail on his worksheet, he
should come to room 111,
Administration Building and
see someone on the regis
tration staff," Van Vel
son said.
"We will make the nec
essary alterations so that
it's right," he said.
Although exact figures
weren't available, he said
the small number of errors
was due to the restrictions
that limit pass-fail enroll
ment. Only students who have
attained junior standing are
eligible to take certain pass
fail courses that are not in
the student's major or mi
nor field. The class can not
count toward group require
ments. If a student who signed
up for the pass-fail privi

instructor as having those
privileges, one of three

The student could have
either failed to indicate on
his registration worksheet
that he was taking the class
under the new system or he
could have failed to mark

The error also could have
occured if the registration
personnel failed to place the
P-F symbol on the student's
class punch card.
"Many times, the cards
of students registered un

although the tuition state
