I The Michigan Daily - Sunday, December 9, 1984 - Page 3 'U' PROF'S SON INVOLVED IN BROWN PROTEST Father: By KERY MURAKAMI University Prof. Thomas Donahue found himself in a peculiar position this week. On one hand, the atmospheric and oceanic science professor said he respects the right of guest speakers to be heard. But on the other, he found himself supporting his son s in- volvement in the "citizen's. arrest" of CIA recruiters at Brown University last month. His son, Neil, is a senior at Brown. DONAHUE even sent letters to Brown's president and the college's dean to express his support of the students' action. Donahue wrote in one letter that his initial impulse was to disapprove of the actions of Neil and his 67 colleagues. I am still not comfortable with what they did. And yet there appear to be some strongly extenuating circumstances in this case." Donahue said that Brown officials, who found the protesters guilty of violating student conduct rules, broke college recruiting guidelines set by the univer- sity's governing board. THE BOARD'S 1968 policy grants students the right to "both consult with representatives of organizations and also to express their views about the in- stitutions represented." Neil Donahue said yesterday that Brown's career planning and placement office told students before the CIA visit that they could only ask questions involving a career with the agency. After negotiating with the school's administrators, the students were allowed to ask questions like, "If someone was given an assignment that was against their moral beliefs, could they get a transfer?" BUT BEFORE the recruitment meeting, CIA recruiter Steven Kahn told the students, "I will not tolerate any questions about international af- fairs," the younger Donahue said. The students- simply wanted to hold the CIA accountable for its actions, he said. They therefore would have been satisfied with an open forum in which broke rules too they could ask CIA recruiters about the agency's policies. But that idea also met with a loud "no" from university officials, who said students could not force a recruiter to answer questions about policy. Instead, the officials urged the student protesters to distribute written statements outside the room where the recruitment meeting was to be held. Prof. Donahue criticized the Brown administration for what he sees as a hypocritical attitude toward the pursuit of knowledge. "What is wrong with the proposition that the university should try to see to it that the students fully understand the implications of their becoming em- ployees of the CIA?" he asked. "For as many as four years the university has been training its studen- ts to question, to behave academically, and then, quite abruptly, where the issue is that of interaction with the real world, the students are expected to follow a different sort of rules," he ad- Donahue ded. ...supports action CIA protesters at Daily Photo by DAN HABIB Chiaroscuro A tree shadow creates an eery design on the Korean United Methodist Chur- ch of Ann Arbor on S.

"With the suicide pill referendum, Brown has a reputation as the most liberal of the Ivy League schools," he said. The university wasn't about to risk volatile headlines saying that Brown opposed the CIA or that it kicked students out for "trying to uphold the law," he said. - DONAHUE SAID that in previous controversial cases, such as when protesters disrupted a speech by CIA director William Casey or when several women spray painted "fight back" on campus buildings after three women were raped, the university gave out serious punishments. Sarah Lammart, a sophomore protestor, accusedthe university of refusing to expell or suspend the students because of the tuition dollars it would lose. Shiela Blumstein, a linguistics professor and the council chairwoman, denied that council bowed to any outside pressure. "The council made its decision based on the public hearings," she said. "We made our decision just on the facts. I'll stand by that." SHE SAID THE decision "reaffirms the right to protest." Activists use 60's tactics to oppose apartheid (Continued from Page ) IMPETUS FOR THE "Free South Africa Movement" came from a rash of violence in South Africa in recent mon- ths. Clashes between police and blacks have resulted in the deaths of more than 150 people and the arrest of more than 3,000, including widely known black political and labor leaders. To dramatize their concern over South Africa, the U.S. labor movement, led by the AFL-CIO, has actively par- ticipated in the anti-apartheid demon- strations. Several labor leaders - among them Gerald McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees - have joined 13 members of Congress and the children of the late Martin Luther King Jr. and the late Robert Kennedy Jr. in taking the step of going to jail briefly as a symbolic gesture. Like in the sit-ins of the 1960s, their arrests in front of the South African Embassy here and consulates in Boston, New York and Chicago have been on minor charges, which have generally been dropped. All told, more than 60 people have been detained in protests around the nation. South African Ambassador Bernar- dus Fourie, while saying he recognizes the right of Americans to protest, has raised the issue of the sanctity of em- bassies, at one point mentioning the siege of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.\ Almost all the congressmen courting arrest have been members of the Congressional Black Caucus. That group wants U.S.-Africa policy to be eein de anttin nrnetsv Paround t probation In this case, however, she said the "students upset the balance of the right to protest with the right of free speech." "They have the right to protest, but protest within the guidelines listed in the student handbook. The handbook forbids protests which) "infringe upon the rights of others" to attend university functions such as the recruiting presentation. The protesters say they will fight the decision although they would not say how. The decision can only be appealed only if the students can prove the hearing was not fair or find new evidence. Eight other undergraduates who had signed a list taking responsibility for the actions were found not guilty because theynweren't present at the protest. A medical student, the only graduate student involved, was found guilty, but was only given a reprimand. USE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS i 1 ' II i serving 7 days 'till I a.m. I
