Affair:
The
CIA
Comes
to
Campus
By STEVE NISSEN
First of a Two-Part Series
Some time ago a "transient scientist"
from a country which "does not main-
tain normal diplomatic relations with
the United States" came to see Stanley
Seashore, Assistant Director of the In-
stitute for Social Research.
The visitor was clearly of interest to
the United States government.
For shortly before the visit the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency dropped by to
see Seashore and asked him to find out
whether the scientist "was doing any-
thing that might arouse interest." In
addition they asked Seashore to evalu-
ate the visitor's capabilities and attempt
to determine in what areas he was do-
ing research.
Did Seashore oblige?
"Citizens have an obligation to be of
help to government agencies if they are
asked," he explains. When the CIA
agents came back to find out about the
"transient scientist". Seashore talked
with them.
But because he "didn't really have any-
thing useful to tell them," there was no
significant interchange of information.
Although Seashore declines to tell
who his visitor was, when he came, or
what he was doing, he does concede that
he has been contacted for various forms
of information by the CIA three times
in the past five years.
He is not alone. A Daily investigation
shows that:
i Th'ere have been at least six con-
tacts between CIA agents and four ISR
personnel in recent years,- several result-
ing in "some interchange of informa-
tion."
* CIA activity in the ISR is becoming
a significant problem, and the institute's
executive committee is considering plac-
ing restrictions on contacts between ISR}
personnel and the CIA.
" Four University professors met with
six CIA agents during 1966 to discuss the
possibility of using University faculty
members and facilities to train CIA
agents.
CIA activity in the ISR has been well
documented by The Daily's investigation.
One high ISR official has admitted that
several contacts were productive for the
CIA but says that the significance of in-
formation provided was minimal.
"Many of the -contacts were never
consummated," that is they involved
personnel who rebuffed the CIA or re-
fused to meet with a CIA agent, explains
Prof. Arnold Tannebaum of the psychol-
ogy department, who is a program di-
rector in the ISR's Survey Research
Center.
"I have not made a careful study of
CIA contacts in the ISR, but I know of
six such contacts. I assume there have
been more." Tannebaum said.
All these contacts were initiated di-
rectly by agents of the CIA. The infor-
mation requested of ISR personnel falls
into four main categories, according to
Tannebaum:
-Obtaining information from re-
searchers concerning their observations
abroad.
--Obtaining information about foreign
visitors to the ISR.
-Eliciting cooperation to observe and
report in the future about a particular
foreign visitor.
--Obtaining information about former
ISR employes.
But what specific kind of information
can ISR personnel provide the CIA? An
example cited by an ISR official in-
volved the junta in Greece which over-
threw Prime Minister George Papandreou
last year. The military take-over was al-
legedly aided by the CIA, he explained.
Papandreou is a former economics pro-
fessor at the University of California and
many academic personnel in the United
States knew him. Their knowledge would
be invaluable to the CIA in planning a
coup, he explained.
"These contacts are potentially harm-
ful to the ISR," Tannebaum explains. "I
think that we should carefully think
through a policy designed to minimize if
vnot eliminate these contacts," he said.
The policy ought not to be anti-CIA.
he explained, but "it ought to recognize
the danger to the institute of becoming
an instrument of the CIA."
"This danger is likely to increase as
our international contacts grow and as
our international activities become more
organized and salient," he explained.

from student organizations made
plans for continued rent strikes
against the firm last night.

'U' To Aid
Bomb Hunt
By SHARON KORMAN
w Naval officials yesterday denied
a report that the University's Wil-
low Run Labs were equipping a
four-engine Lockheed Constella-
tion to aid in the search for four
U.S. hydrogen bombs lost in
Greenland.
According to the Associated
#Press, the University is outfitting
the plane with special sensing
equipment to facilitate the search
for the missing bombs. University
officials refused to confirm the
AP story.
George Zissis, director of Willow
Run-Infrared Physics Lab, said
a Constellation was undergoing
modifications at Willow Run but
suggested that the Navy be con-
tacted for information on the
airplane's mission.
James Sweeney, public affairs
officer of the Naval Oceanagraph-
ic Office, said the plane is to be
used to study ice flows coming
from the Antarctic. Willow Run
currently has a research team
working in the Antarctic.
Sweeney said the plane's mis-
sion was unclassified.
Charles Olson, research asso-
ciate in the Infrared Physics Lab
said of the plane, "I do not know
where it came from nor am I at
liberty to indicate what its pre-
sumed mission will be.
"It is my impression that the
resentatives from the group, which
include "interested" students as
well as Apartments Ltd. tenants,
will canvass the firm's buildings
this week to organize strikes.
The group will circulate peti-
tions among tenahts asking that
rentsbe withheld in escrow by

The plan to strike against
Apartments Ltd. was precipitated
when students in two Hill Street

Tuesday that they would with-
hold rents from the landlord be-
cause of 'poor service" at the re-
quest of the Student Housing As-
sociation.
