THE NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION was accused last
night of "lying to the staff" about severing its ties with the
Central Intelligence Agency by Larry Rubin, 23, who told the
Associated Press that he is quitting as educational affairs di-
rector of the NSA.
Rubin, who said he plans to return to his studies at Antioch
College in Ohio, challenged the statement by NSA officers last
month that financial ties with the CIA had ended last July. He
said the CIA still holds the lease on the association's headquarters
building, and he declared the NSA shows "little inclination" to
make a break that would cause it to "lose government funds
and favors."_

A resolution opposing negotia-
tions to end the war in Vietnam
and condemning any pullout by
the United States will be spon-
sored by a 26-man delegation from;
the University College Republican
Club at a state convention of the
Michigan Federation of College
Republicans being held in Grand
Rapids today and tomorrow.
The delegates will also attempt
to block any resolution endorsing
Gov. George Romney as a presi-
dential candidate for 1968, accord
ing to Michael Renner, '69, leader
of the University's .delegation to
the convention.
"Negotiations would only worsen
the condition of the war," Renner

table."

such rules, regulations and or-
ders...
Because the University has de-
fense' and other government agen-
cy contracts, it is bound to these
provisions. The University News
Service in announcing the recom-
mendations erroneously stated that
the authority for the review was
given under Title VII (equal em-
ployment opportunity),of the, 1984
Civil Rights Act. Contacted last
night, Greene said the survey "has
nothing to do with Title VII."
Greene said further that the
survey of employment practices is
"a normal function" of his office
and that while such studies have
in the past been primarily confin-
ed to corporations, Michigan State
University, Marquette' University,
University of Wisconsin, and the
University of Detroit have all un-
dergone similar investigations In
this area.
Using statistics compiled in
February and March of 1966 and
including 16 departments of the
University, the survey found min-
ority group employment to be 16
per cent, with Negroes making up
10 per cent of the total. Minority
groups compose 10 per cent of
Michigan's population. However,
minority employment at the Uni-
versity was generally in' lower job
classifications.
In addition to the recommen-
dation concerning employment
practices in the engineering
school, the report called for re-
cruitment of "non-white employes
for the position of resident direc-
tor and resident advisor under the
Office of University Housing;" es-
tablishment within academic de-
partments of means for contacting
and encoraging minority group
students to train for all levels of
employment at the University;
and "a centralized effort" to con-
tact Negro colleges, national and
local leaders, minority group fra-
ternities, sororities and profession-
al societies, to express the con-
cern of the Universityin its search
for minority group academic per-
sonnel."
University Executive Vice-Pres-
ident Marvin Niehuss explained
that release of the recommenda-
tions was made by the University
with Green's permission and not
by the Defense Department rep-
resentatives themselves in an ef-
fort to avoid confusion similar to

"I find it difficult to understand
how so many 'accidents' keep hap-

new seems to attract American
bombing."
She was particularly impressed
with some bomb frgments which
were later identified by the Pen-
tagon. "There is very extensive use
of a kind of weapon called the
anti-personnel bomb," she stated.
"These are fragmentary bombs
useless against buildings, but spe-
cifically designed to kill and maim
people."
In addition to visiting bomb
sites, Mrs. Griffith interviewed
over 60 civilian casualties and sev-
eral government officials, includ-
ing Ho Chi Minh.

ence is what they are fighting for.
