FSCA MEMBERS DENY SPY ALLEGATIONS
Student group speaks out
(Continued from Page 1)
with 50 other in an upcoming editorial letter to the
Daily.
THE. TWO MEMBERS said they received several
allegations of being a secret agent by American
students and even a University professor. One said
his wife couldn't sleep last night because of the
suspicion aroused by the allegations reported in the
newspapers.
The Free China Student Association "never
initiates any political activities," said one member.
"They (the anonymous accusers) are liars." He said
they should list their names.
'How can other people be so cruel and take advan-
tage of the situation (of Chen's controversial
death)?" one member asked, adding, "It's very im-
moral. They should be busy in graduate studies."
"I PLAYED PING-PONG with him (Chen). We do
feel sorry with his death, but his death has
,nothing to do with this Association."
The student, of Chinese descent but-born in Taiwan,
said the FCSA receives its funds only from donations
at hi-weekly movie showings4 and from MSA's
budget-not from Taiwan's government.
He said, "It's not worth it to have a government
agent here" at Ann Arbor, and added that the of-
ficials at the organization have to change every six
months. "If- there are secret agents, how can they
change every six months?" he asked.
ASKED IF THEY believed Chen's death was
politically motivated, one of the FCSA members
replied: "We believe our government won't do this
(kill Chen)." Earlier, one member had replied "we
love our government," andsaid that it was wrongly
depicted as authoritarian.
The two Taiwanese students vehemently disagreed
with Carnegie-Mellon University President Richard
Cyert's remarks. Cyert said he believed the death of
Chen was politically motivated and inferred the
Taiwanese government was responsible. He also said
"there is a suspicion that a large number of
Taiwanese stbdents (in the United States) are on the,
payroll" of the government.
ONE FCSA SPOKESMAN said, "As a college
president, how can he say that? He's supposed to
represent moral principles. How can he jump to a
conclusion like that?" He added that Cyert's com-
ments "are too strongridiculous. He (Cyert) should
lose his presidency."
Meanwhile, three of the eight students (represen-
ting the other faction) who allege the presence of
secret government agents in the FCSA met yesterday
afternoon with President Harold Shapiro.
A spokesman for the three students, a native
Taiwanese islander, said Shapiro "was quite helpful"
and added they discussed some possible actions that
both the University of Michigan and other univer-
sities could take regarding Chen's death and the
allegations of secret agents on campus.
Shapiro declined to make an official public
statement right after the meeting, but added he
hoped to discuss the issue with other involved univer-
sity presidents last night.

physiology and in vivo biochemistry,"
Wieland said.
THE CHEMIST maintained that less
noted is the compound's value in
diagnosing many heart ailments-in-
cluding hypertension-but while results
pertaining to this application are only
preliminary, they look extremely
promising.,
"This compound is Structurally close
to a commercial hypertensive
drug-Ismelin-a drug that is still in
use to control hypertension," Wieland
said, adding that by "imaging" the
heart, the compound can tell physicians
how the cardiac sympathetic nerves
are functioning.
"The compound mimics noradrenalin
and 80 percent of the radioactivity is
concentrated in the cardiac-nerves,"
Wieland said. "It's chief cardiac value
appears to be in diagnosing congestive
heart failure."
DR. WILLIAM Beierwaltes, head of
the nuclear medicine division of the
University Department of Internal
Medicine, said that the compound may
even have a further application-the
treatment of malignant tumors in the 10
percent of patients who can't be cured
through surgery.
"We are currently evaluating the
compound in therapeutic doses (instead
of the much lower "tracer" doses used
in diagnosis) and we have already
given it to one patient for treatment,"
Beierwaltes said, adding that while
preliminary results may be en-
couraging, it's still "too early-to tell."
By the use of multiple radioactive
tracer scans in which different agents
image major organs such as the heart,
liver, lungs, or kidneys, University
nuclear medicine specialists have been
able to provide surgeons with the
location of pheochromocytormas withir -
about a quarter of an inch. ' -

'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'
Psalm 2:1 and Acts 4:25
One correspondent writes: "It was just such militancy, narrow-
mindedness, and bigotry as yours that turned me from Christianity to
agnosticism." He signs his name, and present degree, "ex-Reverend." In this
instance It appears we accomplished the opposite of what desired and
hoped!
"Es-Reverend" gave us quite a bit of his time, attention, and consideration.
He wrote us an. epistle longer than some in The Bible! There were several
things in it for which we were able to compliment him. He is very gifted at
sarcasm.
We could also sincerely congratulate "ex-Reverend" for giving himself that
degree. If a man does not believe we admire him for "getting out." If every
minister who took a solemn vow to proclaim and defend the Bible as the
Infallible Revelation of God Almighty would get out in case their belief
changes, or if they were hypocrits from the outset, then the Church would be
cleansed from "something dead up the creek," as well as "dead wood and
excess baggage." The Church would be mach better off, and the individuals
would greatly improve their own character and integrity, provided they are
concerned about such virtues and maintaining a good conscience.
We quote from the close of our letter and appeal to ex-Reverend: "Fall on
yodr knees, look up to your Creator, The Almighty. Oult looking at 'militant,
narrow-minded bigots!' Call on God to reveal Himself to you. Promise If He
makes Himself known and real to you, you will 'Fear God, and keep His
Commandments, the whole duty of man.' Do that, and follow it up by reading
His Book, The Bible, Searching The Scriptures, endure in this good work, and
in due season you will reap, if you faint not. You will reap the true knowledge
of God, and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent, which is Eternal Life! Then we
predict you will rejoice to give yourself the degree of "re-Reverend!" God
grant that it will come about!
True Christians, pray forthis-man, and all other such "speckled birds!" -
Jeremiah 12:9. They can be saved: "For with God nothing shall be
impossible." But for His mercy and grace we would be in as bad a fix as they
are!
