Group will sit-in
to protest CIA
recruiting here
By KAROLYN KENDRICK
Thresher Reporter
A group of Rice students will
stage a sit-in next week to pro-
test the presence of CIA inter-
viewers here. Sandy Mueller,
president of Baker College,
plans the demonstration for
November 2 on the stairs of the
RMC.
Mueller claims that at least
50 percent of the student body
supports his stand and adds.
"People can get so uninvolved
with things and do nothing
ai-ound here." He feels that
more will join the sit-in once it
is underway.
In a brief interview Dr. Heinz
W. Puppe, Assistant Professor
of German, expressed agree-
ment with the demonstrators,
"The CIA is involved in revolu-
tion and politics outside the
country. It needs to be put out
of business or under control."
Puppe, although in sympathy
with the protest, does not plan
to join the sit-in,
"I don't see any difference be-
tween the CIA and the KGB,"
stated Mueller in summing up
the purpose of the protest. "!
object to the CIA's high-handed
methods, to their fomenting
revolutions, and to their ways
of maintaining the ideological
status quo alignment of na-
tions."
A peace button in her lapel,
Bari Watkins, a junior, gave
her reasons for participating in
the protest, "The CIA has
proved itself to be a destructive
force—one that from a position
of still undestroyed idealism
appears to be the antithesis of
the 'foolish' ideas that some of
us still like to believe exist in
the American character."
Although affirming her res-
olution to protest, Bari added,
"I plan to stop as soon as some-
one threatens to invoke the
Riot Act. My animosity towards
the CIA is not great enough to
risk expulsion."
The "Riot Act" refers to a
University policy which states
that any group of students that
"gathers in such a manner as
to disturb public peace, to ex-
cite public alarm, or to do vio-
lence to any person or property,
or ... to bring disgrace or dis-
repute upon the University" can
be ordered to disperse under
threat of individual expulsion.
Charlie Shanor, president of
the SA, disagrees with the
method of protest: "If the dem-
onstration is peaceful, I person-
ally have no opposition to it. I
sympathize with their concern
at certain operations of the
CIA, but this concern could per-
haps be better expressed in
other ways." Shanor suggested
letters to the CIA director, pe-
titions, or expression through
the NSA as effective means of
protest.
