They had been released Sunday, August 19, it appeared to the Washington Free Press, an that he would be seated with an underground paper, on an USSPA 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.

Kennedy said that these "legal restraints on the University are alarming," and added that SACUA will confer with University Presi-j Underground Viet Student Movement Increases Confusion on Political Scene A few of the legislative provi- sions raise questions of constitu- tionality and represent "problems the Legislature dumped on us." 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 be considered in the same cate- 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- tee have not yet been appointed by Student Government Council and Graduate Assembly. By WALLACE IMMEN 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.
