Student body President Willie Zanders said before his suspen- sion, "This is not black power. All we want is an education and we aren't getting it. You cannot get an education now at Gram- bling." Zanders also criticized President Jones for trying to play down the significance of the student pro- tests. "In spite of the demonstra- tions being non-violent, the pres- ident of the college has pegged us as a group of 150 radicals when' we have actually had as many as 2,500 and 3,000 participants," he said. Students at the Homecoming game Saturday chanted, "Presi- dent told a lie, President told a lie," referring to a statement byI Jones that only 150 students were involved. Dean of Instruction E. L. Cole, whom Thomas describes as one of Grambling's "truly fine scho- lars," expressed doubt that the students were really concerned about "academic excellence." "They want to turn an aca- demia into a jungle," he charged. Cole further termed the ath- letics question a "whipping boy" and added that there is an over- emphasis on athletics all across the country. "Grambling doesn't emphasize athletics any more than other colleges in the South or elsewhere in the country." He said Grambling has 80 ath- letic scholarships and 80 merit scholarships, plus a few other partial, specialized stipends. Conference Denies CIA Ties 'Antiochian' Culture Mixes Folk, Fads, Feds, Freedom (Continued from Page 1) philosophical phrases, blowing glass and playing the sweet po- tato, Don's room is papered in alum- inum foil out of which peer the meshed 'cloth of stero speakers. A large tuna fish net drapes down from'the ceiling to the floor where colored lights flash on and off. One side of the room is the meet- ing place of visitors who con- gregate to talk, get high, or play their psychedelic instruments. Don is soft-spoken and seems to always be smiling. His judg- ment is considered wisdom by many and his somewhat humerous facsimile of being a wise-old peer breaks down into an odd reality when many students accept his word blindly. He is apathetic to government, administration of the school, classes and movements. His concern is the sole cultiva-, tion of his thing, and for those now at Antioch he will be remem- bered as having achieved the ulti- mate his society could afford. "We just want to live our life," Don told me. "We have every- thing we need here." As I walked through the stu- dent union for the last time I noticed the humerous quips print- ed all over the walls, doors, and w i n d o w s. Sometimes they're ignored. On the student govern- ment's blackboard was the phrase:, "Today the Edsel, tomorrow the world." I quickly jotted down every one I had time to see which included phrases from Mao, "discipline be- comes philosophy," or "the end is at Antioch." But there is only one which still remains easily remembered : Printed in small red letters just above a table in the room of Antioch's student newspaper is the phrase, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall perish."

The commission also noted that "Clearly we ex- pect that even if the foundation were a CIA front, the president and members of FYSA would say that it is not." While it let the 'ISC off scot free, the commission attacked NSA, particularly on the grounds that NSA officers only announced their intentions to sever the ties after Ramparts magazine revealed the relationship. NSA President Ed Schwartz said he had not seen the report, but said that NSA did not reveal its CIA ties sooner- because it was trying "to protect innocent peo- ple, including some of those in the ISC." The commission report also said that any CIA influence on the ISC probably came through for- mer NSA officers, such as Gar- vey. It also named former NSA and ISC officials Tom Olson and Chuck Goldmark as sources of possible CIA influence, though Goldmark. a former NSA inter- national affairs vice president, has denied that he knew .about the CIA ties. In a statement released before the ISC report, the IUS called it a "whitewash." It noted that the commissio nmembers - who are from Great Britain, Costa Rica, Ireland, Ghana, Malaya, and Bel- gium - are all from the ISC's leading group. It also accused ISC Secretary General Ram Kahkina of using his ex offcio membership on the commission "to secure 'satisfactory' results." t _A plaid.
