KU again a member
K-State may join NSA
By STEVE HAYNES Kansan Staff Writer
The University of Kansas already is a member of NSA.
MANHATTAN-Kansas State University students will decide tomorrow whether to affiliate with the National Student Association (NSA), once a front group for the Central Intelligence Agency and now an allegedly far left organization.
K-State students, considered by campus leaders to be more conservative than those at KU, will vote on affiliation. KU students did not have such an opportunity—they were enrolled by the All Student Council (ASC) last March, said Clif Conrad, Bismark, N.D. senior and KU student body president.
NSA had long been accused of being "ultra-liberal" by Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a national conservative group, and by campus Republican groups.
Last year Ramparts Magazine revealed that NSA had been taking funds from the CIA. The then president of NSA later admitted that the group had been receiving CIA money since 1952 and was receiving "most" of its funds by last year from the intelligence agency.
Since the CIA scandal, NSA has been scorned by both the political right, which thinks it too liberal, and by the far left, which thinks it not liberal enough. National Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) called NSA "not radical" and refused to support it, despite the fact that the group has moved further toward the left since last year.
The NSA question has stirred up quite a controversy here, if
Five Medals of Honor awarded
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Johnson awarded Medals of Honor today to five Army men, including the first chaplain to receive one for extraordinary heroism in Vietnam.
The chaplain, Capt. Angelo J. Liteky, 37, a Roman Catholic, received the nation's highest award for valor for helping to save wounded servicemen.
On Dec. 6, 1967, he moved within 15 yards of a Communist machine gun to rescue two wounded men. Despite wounds on his neck and foot, he helped carry more than 20 other wounded men to a helicopter evacuation area.

the letters column of the Kansas State Collegian, the student paper, is any indication. The Young Democrats, the Collegian, the student government and several other groups have actively supported NSA membership. Others, notably the College Republicans and YAF, have opposed NSA.

KU, K-State, and more than 150 other schools dropped NSA affiliation a few years back because of the "ultra-liberal" nature of the group. YAF lead the fight, locally and nationally, to end NSA.
NSA positions on civil rights, the draft, and other issues were at the root of the discussion. At Lawrence, YAF, the Collegiate Young Republicans and the University Daily Kansan led the anti-NSA campaign. Some ASC members and the local NSA committee supported affiliation.

The ASC voted to end KU affiliation in 1961. They voted last year to resume affiliation with little opposition. The only notice of the action in the Kansas appeared in a brief report of the ASC vote.
At K-State, the road back to NSA will be much more difficult, if, in fact, K-State goes back at all.
Much of the debate here has centered around the comparative advantages of NSA membership.
Opponents of NSA affiliation point mostly to its liberal political nature and claim it is not representative of the student body. They are, by and large, the same groups who have opposed NSA all along.
Pro-NSA forces have pointed to international programs, conventions (the last one was held here), seminars and educational programs. They have said NSA sponsors programs and provides information on Free Universities, teacher evaluation, student power, pass/fail grading, and student stress and lobbies for students in Washington, all of which would benefit K-State.
Both K-State and KU are currently members of the Association of Student Governments, which was formed in 1963 as a more conservative alternative to NSA. Conrad said KU's membership would be allowed to lapse this year because it was "no longer needed."
He said that he did not think NSA had done much for KU, but said this was because KU had not "fully utilized" its services. These services cost the ASC $200 per year, he said.
No one knows which side will win here tomorrow, but if KU's recent experiences are any indication, the only difference may be who gets K-State's money.

Reopen S.F. State now
LOS ANGELES (UPI)—The California State College Board of Trustees yesterday ordered President Robert R. Smith to reopen embattled San Francisco State College immediately and to "use force if necessary."
The 18,000-student school was closed last Wednesday after a series of disturbances. Smith said 50 fires were deliberately set on Thursday.
The disturbances were sparked by the dismissal of George Mason Murray, an English instructor and member of the Black Panthers, who allegedly told Negro students to bring firearms to the campus.
After a daylong trustees meeting, State College's Chancellor Glenn Dumke told a news conference the "reopening process will begin immediately." He said classes would resume "no later than Wednesday."
Gov. Ronald Reagan, ex-officio president of the board who said the campus should never have been shut down, said
he was satisfied with the trustees' resolution.
Dumke told the news conference, "Force will be used if necessary but it will be avoided if possible."

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3
This is a copy of a copy of an invitation to interview a company you may not know well enough.
Making copies is only part of the story.
You can get the other part straight from the source. Talk to our representative and ask him about R&D looking ahead to major advances in education...in areas like color xerography and 3-D imaging...about refinements in combined xerography and EDP systems to process and graphically reproduce any theory or fact available...at any distance.
Ask anything imaginable and you'll discover you're probing a company that's involved with every phase of the information and education explosion.
We place great emphasis on individual initiative. Additional schooling aimed at advanced degrees. Brainstorming. A variety of short-term project groups. And benefits. In short, your career, not simply a job for you to fill.
So while you're looking us over for career opportunities, we'll be looking you over for career potential. Fair enough?
Why not make an appointment with your Placement Director. A half hour of your time could be the start of a great future in fundamental and applied research, developmental and manufacturing engineering, or programming.
