Iranians, Americans jointly
protest Westmoreland visit
Iranian and American students joint
ly participated in a protest demonstra
tion against the Shah of Iran and Gen.
William Westmoreland's appearance on
campus Friday.
About 100 people circled the
Broyhill Memorial Fountain in front of
the Nebraska Union with banners and
protest signs.
An Iranian Student Association
spokesman said that the protest by the
Iranian students was intended to coin
cide with Westmoreland's visit.
"Our motto is 'Iran is the next
Vietnam,'" he said.
One American student, who chose to
remain unidentified, was protesting
Westmoreland's visit but agreed with the
Iranian students' protest.
Most of the Iranian students were
masked to protect themselves and their
families in Iran, the Iranian spokesman
said.
"We are going to get Americans
aware of what is happening in Iran,"
another Iranian student spokesman
said.
"The shah is killing thousands of
people in Iran and we want this to come
to a stop," he added.
One Iranian observer who chose not
to participate in the protest remarked
that Americans do not know enough of
what is going on outside the United
States.
"It is a worthless attempt," he said.
An American observer of the protest
said it was "ridiculous because
Westmoreland has nothing to do with
the situation in Iran.
"I don't think there should be any
criticism as to whether Westmoreland
should come on campus. Everyone has
the right to express their views," he
said.
Several leaflets also were handed out
to students at the demonstration by the
Iranian students and the Committee for
Facts about Vietnam.
Bruce Erlich, a spokesman for the
committee, said the leaflet, "The Crimes
of William C. Westmoreland," was pre
pared by faculty and student members
who feel that the Vietnam war was too
easily forgotten.
The leaflet states that the situations
in Iran and South Africa may be new
Vietnams in the making and that Gen.
Westlmoreland knew about the war
crimes committed in Vietnam.
The leaflet also urged that "even as
William Buckley was balanced by Jane
Fonda last year, so a speaker closer to
the political, military, and human truth
of the war than Westmoreland should
be brought later this year: we suggest
Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, or
Richard Falk."

Graduates from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines may
now enter challenging career training programs with the
National Security Agency. If you are receiving a liberal arts,
business, or mathematics decree before September 1979. the
Professional Qualification Test (PQT) could be your first step
toward employment in one of these programs.
You must register by November 4. 1978 in order to take the PQT
on campus. It will not be given ag. during this school year. By
scoring well on this test, you will quo,ify for an employment
interview. During the interview, an NSA representative will
discuss the specific role you might play in furthering this
country's communications security or in producing vital foreign
intelligence information
The PQT helps to measure your potential for career areas such
as:
PROGRAMMING - Our vast communications analysis projects
could not be effectively managed without the latest computer
hardware software and people who know how to use them.
LANGUAGES - Foreign languages are valuable tools for
research, analysis, and documentation projects.
Advanced training in language (perhaps a new language) can be
expected.
COMMUNICATIONS - Scientifically devised, tested, and
managed cryptographic systems insure the maximum degree of
security in transmitting sensitive information around the globe.
Since cryptography is a unique pursuit, the training of new
employees here is extensive and esoteric.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES - A limited number of applicants will
also be selected from the PQT to enter our Information Science,
Logistics, Resource Management, Security, and Personnel fields.
PICK UP A PQT BULLETIN at your college placement office. It
contains a registration form which you must mail prior io
November 4 in order to take the test on November 18. There Is
no registration fee.
Electronic Engineering. Computer Science. Slavic. Mid-Eastern
and Asian language majors and Mathematics majors at the
Masters level may interview without taking the PQT.
U.S. Citizenship is mandatory. A thorough background
investigation and medical examination are also required.
