four part series by a team of Daily reporters
on military research at the University.

You walk through the door of the
non-descript, converted Army building
marked "Director's Office."
Just inside the entrance a uniformed
security officer asks you to state your
business. The party you've come to see
is paged on the intercom and when your
story checks out you sign into a register
and are issued a numbered badge reading
"Visitor-Escort Required."
While awaiting the arrival of your
escort, you glance at the posters on the
lobby wall: "Security, too, depends on
teamwork" and "Don't discuss classified
material over the telephone."
Although more reminiscent of a spy
movie than Angell Hall, this is the scene
at the University's Willow Run Labora-
tories at Ypsilanti.
Located at a former Nike missile site,
amidst cornfields and woods on the
eastern edge of Willow Run Airport, WRL
is the heart of a campus security story
that spreads onto the University campus
10 miles away.
In recent years WRL's classified work
has expanded to the Gas Dynamics and
Aeronautical Engineering Laboratories
and the IST building on North Campus.
Classified work is also done at the Cooley
Laboratories on North Campus and the
Radiation Laboratory on Catherine St.
About $9 million of WRL's $11 million
1967-68 budget is classified work sup-
ported by the Defense Department. Evald-
son said. According to director Thomas

urity scene.

Classified work also involves closed
courses, seminars, and conferences, classi-
fied and unclassified versions of some
publications, widespread confusion and
some complaining.
Generally the University is not opposed
to doing secret work: Explains Vice-Pres-
ident for Research A. Geoffrey Norman,
"Some fields are totally classified, if you
want to play the game, you have to play
by the rules."

George Zissis, head of the WRL infra-
red physics laboratory added, "We hard-
ly ever turn down government money for
a classified project when it remotely fits
into any of the programs we're working
on."
The impact of the security measures
extends from the electrical engineering
department classroom to the highest
echelons of the administration.
For .example, last year the Army de-
cided that it wanted 10 of its officers to
"be aware of the latest talent and tech-
niques in electronic warfare," explained
electrical engineering department chair-
man Hansford W. Farris.
So for $23,000 the University set up a
special semester long course during the
fall term last year. The men took a spe-
cial classified course in jamming and
penetration aids according to Farris.
In this course they studied techniques
for jamming radar and looked at such
questions as whether they should use FM
or AM radio signals to jam. In addition
the officers also took three unclassified
engineering school classes in antennas
and radiation. systems analysis and com-
puters.
"After the course was over the officers
split up. Some went to Vietnam others
went to Berlin and elsewhere," said Far-
ris.
"We put the course on because the
Army wanted the package," he added.
"But in the future I think we'll discour-
age this kind of thing. They can do it
at their own schools more cheaply."
Radar is one of the fields in which vir-

tually all frontier work has military ap-
plications and radar research at the Uni-
versity, therefore, is almost entirely clas-
sified. Other fields in which University
researchers work, such as infrared remote
sensing and holography, the science of
lenseless, three-dimensional photography,
are also heavily classified.
Because most frontier research in radar
is classifed the engineering school's 10
day summer conference on "Principles of
Synthetic Aperture Radar" was secret.
About 95 participants paid $300 to learn
how radar can be used to resolve objects
at great distances from the earth. The
project was sponsored by the Air Force.
Similarly the national "Radar Sym-
posium" which the University has con-
ducted for the past 13 years is classified.
This year about 500 representatives of
government, industrial and educational
institutions attended the three day clas-
sified meeting devoted entirely to ad-
vanced radar techniques. It wad held in
Seattle in June.
Security also presents, some difficulties
with students. Although students can and
do work on classified projects, all these
and dissertations must be public, that is,
unclassified. According to Cooley's Butler,
this may :esult in a student preparing two
versions of his dissertation research re-
port, a public one for his degree and a
classified one for his government sponsor.
Nelson W. Navarre, assistant director
of Cooley says a majority of the doctoral
students working on their dissertations

State Democratic Chairman Says
Johnson Could Hurt Party Ticket
LANSING (R) - An unpopular Lyndon Johnson heading the
Democratic ticket next year could mean trouble for the whole ticket,
State Party Chairman Zolton Ferency said yesterday.
In a statement released by the Democratic State Central Com-
mittee, Ferency expressed unhappiness with what he described as
attempts by national party leaders to prevent counter-insurgency in
party ranks.
"It has now become obvious that the White House is in no mood
to tolerate differences or dissent from administration policy," he
said. "And there will be no friendly gestures in the direction of the
uneasy and unhappy liberals, in-
tellectuals and 'peace' Demo-
crats."
"Apparently, t h o s e currently
holding national Democratic party
.--.--..reins have already decided that
they will name the ticket and
write the platform, and every-
bodyshad better become be-
lievers."
Power Structure
Y; Ferency warned that if the
"Washington Democratic power
structure continues down the
'shape-up-or-ship-out' path it has
chosen, the 1968 Democratic na-
tional convention will either be a
donnybrook or a dud."
"Which it will be," he said, "de-

Petition On
Research
By AVIVA KEMPNER
Voice Political Party-Students
for a Democratic Society voted
last night to circulate a campus
petition on the issue of war re-
search at the University.
The petition will express op-I
position to secret research and
urge all the members of the aca-
demic community not to engage
in any military studies. The peti-
tion will be circulated beginning
later this week after Voice's war
research committee composes the
final draft.
Voice has been reviewm.ng the,
presence of military research at

Student's Tell
Antioch 'End
War Work"
By JIM HECK
-Special To The Daily
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio - In
a mass meeting held last night,
students at Antioch College is-
sued an ultimatum to the ad-
ministration to stop immediately
all war research currently being
carried on at the college.
Student Leader Eric Stand
told over half of Antioch's 900
campus student body at a meeting
yesterday, "If they don't stop re-
search by, next Wednesday, stu-
dents will enter the buildings to
stop it."
Antioch has been carrying on
war research with the Air Force
since the end of World War II.

000 in research has centered on
