Shapiro: Research open to communist
By PERRY CLARK
University President Harold Shapiro yester-
day affirmed that the University will not
estrict the access of visiting scholars from
communist nations to research materials.
Shapiro made his comments yesterday
following the disclosure that two FBI agents
were on campus last week, seeking information
on the research activities of a visiting Soviet
mathematics scholar.
"IN GENERAL, my reaction is that the
University, unless legally obligated to do so,
ought to not release information about students
without their permission, or about faculty
members," Shapiro said.
Jon Heise, the director of the International
Center, the University's liaison with foreign
students, said the incident last week was the
first time he has been aware that federal agen-
ts visited the University for such a purpose.
Heise said the State Department has writ en
letters asking that the University cooperate in
the Reagan administration's efforts to restrict
the access of communist scholars to research
material. The University, however, has not
cooperated with the Washington officials,
Heise said.
"THE UNIVERSITY failed to show sym-
pathy toward restrictions of knowledge," he
said.
The agents, on campus last week, questioned
a librarian at the Engineering-Transportation
library, where the Soviet scholar studies, and,
asked for records of what materials the
professor checked out. The librarian, Maurita
Holland, reportedly refused to give the agents
information, citing a University regulation
which prohibits the release of such infor-
mation.
Shapiro said he disapproved of the FBI's
method of gathering the information and said
he would prefer they consult him before
seeking information from the University's
libraries or other units.
"IT DOES POINT to a problem," he said.
"When people want information, they don't ask
the president, they just go all around the
system." Shapiro said there are regulatory
limits on how much information the University
can release on the activities of a scholar
without gaining the permission of the in-
dividual.
The FBI office in Detroit confirmed that
agents had questioned the librarian but refused
to comment further. An FBI spokesman
reached yesterday in the Bureau's headquar-

ters in Washington also declined comment
"I'm not at liberty to discuss it," said
spokesman Wiley Thompson.
"Usually, comments to the media are rarely,
if ever, made -while an investigation is iri
process," said Detroit FBI spokesman John
Anthony, who refused to say whether an aJx
vestigation of University scholars was under
way.

Christopher Porterfield - literature
professor, reporter, television
producer,and arts critic -already has
had a rich and varied career. Porter-
field's latest occupation, however,
brings him to campus as a visiting
University professor.
Porterfield, currently an arts
reviewer for Time magazine, came to
campus last week as a Marsh professor
in the Communication department, a
visit sponsored by the National En-
dowment for the Humanties. During his
weeklong stay, Porterfield gave
several lectures on his career in print
and video journalism and on mass
media's future.
COMPARING HIS WORK in
television and magazines, Porterfield
said, "In television you are under more
pressure from station managers and
different station officials. Magazines
have a way of buffering you against
this."
Porterfield, who formerly produced
Dick Cavett's public television inter-
view program, said the pressure in-
volved in television is a unique factor.
