letterhead. It was charged that the
notes should not have been releas-
ed on Bloom's word alone as they
undermined the NSA and injured
the chances of Ed Schwartz in
his bid for president of NSA.
Schwartz had been elected, and
since the delegates did not have
any more information, the Con-
gress overruled the NEB and gave
Bloom a vote of confidence for
the duration of the convention,
while holding the option to make
another recommendation at a la-
ter session.
In the meantime, the second
contingent, led by Rita Dershow-
itz, of Sarah Lawrence University,
convinced David Peterson to an-
nounce his candidacy for general
secretary. In the meantime, a pa-
per was being circulated which
attacked Bloom's political, finan-
cial and personal responsibility
and charged that he intended to
dictate USSPA policy.
By Friday afternoon, the issue
had been brought to a fever pitch
and following a brief debate be-
tween Peterson and Bloom, the
Congress recommended that the
NEB elect Peterson as general sec-
retary, rather than Bloom.
The vote was 41-32 and that
night a meeting of the dissenting
Bloom supporters decided in an
extended session to establish the
New Press Project, headed by
Bloom and Mungo, which evolved
into an alternative to the com-
mercial news wire services after
having first 'been envisioned as a
completely independent student
press association.

that the study should be expand-

tions, such as some provisions of
the legislative act appropriating

A few of the legislative provi-

according to Kennedy.
These provisions say that:'
-No new or expanded programs.
including any which might be fi-
nanced by gift or federal money,
may be established without legis-
lative approval.
-The University cannot sign
contracts for self-liquidating proj-
ects without legislative approval.
-There cannot be more than
a five per cent increase in non-
resident enrollment, and there can
be no increase if current non-
resident enrollment exceeds 20 per
cent of total enrollment.
-All overhead expense allow-
ances, regardless of source, shall

gory as fees or other income and
treated as a reduction from the
gross appropriation.
Kennedy said that the Assem-
bly presently has no firm basis
for judging the faculty opinion
on the trimester, although the in-
formal poll conducted this sum-
mer by the literary college indicat-
ed that the majority of the fac-
ulty opposed the trimester system.
No other school had conducted a
similar poll.
The Educational Policy Com-
mittee will study the trimester
question this year and incorpor-
ate the literary college poll data.
The Communications Media
Committee hopes to begin its
study of the communications me-
dia within the University soon
after Labor Day, although the two-
student members of the commit-

by Student Government Council
and Graduate Assembly.

A student underground is the
real force on the Vietnamese cam-
puses, according to Alex Jack, a
student reporter from Oberlin
College who spent several months
among the students and civilians
of South Vietnam.
He said in a panel discussion at
the recent United States Student
Press Association convention that
most of the student organizers
have been paid off by the Na-
tional Liberation Front (NLF) and
are ordered to deliberately change
their views every few weeks to
create a chaotic picture of Viet-
namese youth movements.
Two other members of the panel
were Bob Browe, a correspondent
for the New Republic and Howie
Moffett, who recently covered'
Vietnamese politics for the Col-
legiate Press Service. They agreed'
that most commercial reporting
spends too much time covering the
tangible action of bombs and
deaths and avoid the war's in-
tangible effects on the Vietnam-
ese people.
_. _.
Browe said that more than half,
of the estimated 200 activists now
organizing Vietnamese students
will probably be assassinated by
the NLF in the coming year. "A
number have said they don't think
the cause is worth dying for,"
Browe explained, "and they are
now leaving the campuses out of
fear 'in order to hide in the vil-
lages.
"The people are fighting a war
against strangers," Moffet ob-
served. "When they see the force
being used by the Americans and
the Army of the Republic of Viet-
nam (ARVN) they are anxious
to get the protection of the NLF."
He said that those he had inter-
viewed found the Viet Cong "much
more polite" than the Americans.
Alex Jack, the only American
to talk to Thich Tri Quang, the
Buddhist non-violent leader, said
that the Buddhists are the leaders
of the underground and although
their demonstrations receive little
coverage in this country, they
have had a great impact in Viet-
nam. They have actually been the
only stable force in the country in
his estimation.
