CIA Retreats from Campuses
Near Regional Recruiting Offices
WASHINGTON (CPS) — In
the interest of "maintaining a
peaceful academic atmosphere,”
the Central Intelligence Agency
has decided not to recruit on
campuses that lie near one of
the agency's regional recruiting
offices.
A CIA spokesman today con
firmed that college and uni
sity placement bureaus affected
are being notified of the de
cision, but did not say where
the agency’s regional offices are
located. He estimated that
there arc “ten or twelve” of
them, however, presumably in
the major cities.
The spokesman also noted
that in some cases interviews
would he conducted in a down
town area of cities that do not
have CIA offices. He mention
ed Boston as an example, ex
plaining that interviews would
be conducted in the federal
building there rather than on
campuses in the area.
The CIA has met with pro
tests, some of them obstructive
and others not, on several cam
puses this fall. Among them are
the Universities of Colorado,
Maryland, Iowa and California
at Berkeley.
According to the CIA spokes
man, the agency normally re
cruits at 100 campuses around
the country. He added that “at
many of them we've had no trou
ble."
He indicated that the dis
ruption of CIA recruiting
has been concentrated in cer
tain areas of the country, main

ly the East and West coasts. He
said the agency has had almost
no trouble on campuses in the
Middle West and South.
Placement officials on cam
puses'in the Washington area
have already been notified that
the CIA will do its recruiting in
its downtown office. Only one
Washington area university —
the University of Maryland —
has had a protest against CIA
recruiting.
The CIA spokesman denied
that the agency was succumb
ing to pressure from students
who have protested CIA re
cruiting.
"We don't view it in that
light," he said. He added "one
of the young men who called
here said SDS was calling it a
victory,” but denied that the
change was likely to affect the
agency recruiting efTorts.
The SDS national office in
Chicago has not commented offi
cially of the CIA’s decision, but
one of the SDS officers there
said that it should probably not
be regarded as a victory. “We
want to stop CIA recruiting.”
he explained.
The CIA may well attempt to
reinstate on-campus recruiting
on the campuses where it is be
ing halted, according to the
spokesman. He said that if the
protests died down, “I’m sure
we would look at it again, to
see if we could return to the
campus.”

New Committee Investigates
Campus Discrimination Problem
By LES BLUMENTHAL
Of the Emerald
The ASUO Committee on Housing
Discrimination was established this year
with the purpose of making the Uni
versity community, “aware and sensi
tive to the problems of discrimination,”
according to a report from the commit
tee issued Monday.
The report explained the committee’s
job is to investigate charges of discrim
ination and to make recommendations to
President Flemming on the basis of their
findings.
In the case of off-campus discrimina
tion the committee will make recom
mendations to the city courts, following
their investigations.
The first official action taken by the
committee this year was to commend
Sigma Chi in their compliance to Uni
versity policy towards housing dis
crimination.
The second major step taken by the
committee was the sending of letters
to three Greek organizations that had
not signed the anti-discrimination and
local autonomy statement.
The organizations were urged to com
ply or state reasons why they couldn’t.
While it isn’t the stated goal of the
committee to “get the Greeks,” the im
mediate goal of the committee is to see
that each house has local autonomy in
the selection of its members.
According to the report, “the root
of discrimination lies in the national
organizations' dictates on membership
selection procedures.”
The report went on to elaborate on
tools used by the Greek organizations to
discriminate.
Three of the tools are the blackball
system, required recommendations from
local alumni and alumni holds.
The committee report said the elimi
nation of these tools will cause fraterni
ties and sororities to improve them
selves.
The main problem of the committee,
according to the report, is not finding
cases of discrimination, but the loose
ness of the direction of the committee.
One member said, ", . . it seems like
we are going around in circles.”
The main problem to be faced is
the committee members not knowing
where they stand in the ASUO structure.
One member said, “As a committee,
our power of recommendation is not
clearly defined, nor is our power to
hear a case or know what line of com
munication to follow in regard to hav
ing the ruling carried out.”
The prevalent feeling on tne commit
tee is hearings should be held when cases
are questionable.
The report stated that through these
hearings and reports, the courts would
have a clearer view of the intricacies
of the selection procedure, and in what
areas the potentialities for discrimina
tion lie.
The committee is impatient. They
want to act, but they don’t hold any
real power. Members say they feel too
much time is being wasted, and dis
crimination will continue on campus
even after the Greeks comply with Uni
versity policy.
They say they feel the tools of dis
crimination should be exposed and the
energy of the committee could best be
used in the uncovering and making pub
lic these tools. ,
One committee member added, 'If
we’re going to function in an official
capacity, lets do it fairly and hear
from all sides . . . let’s start doing some
thing constructive.”
The report concluded, "While the com
mittee has not produced great quanti
ties of decisions or recommendations,
the real importance of the committee
lies in its existence.”
