Dr. Albert J. Lott, social psychologist and professor of psychology and behavioral science,

keep a woman going to school.
After Dr. Lott's talk, the women divided into four discussion
groups, each with a leader, to
consider some aspect of the
speech. The purpose of these subgroups was to determine how well
women, who are considering returning to school, can assimilate
material in lecture form, particularly at upper class and graduate school levels.
One discussion group considered societal standards as basis
for personal motives, for example,
male and female differences, influences of social class, racial
influences and age influences.
This group was led by Sister Mary
Ann Rene McConn, who is working toward a master's degree in
the Department of History.
Mrs. Wanda Allen, a student
in the graduate school of library
science, helped discuss personal
motives and the multiple roles
of women group memberships
and social roles.
Another group, led by Mrs.
Charlotte Denny, working on her
doctorate in psychology, discussed role conflicts facing women.

Mrs. Celia Zyzniewski led the

Marxism, inherently democratic, suffers from stagnation
in the United States while it
has made significant changes in
Europe and Asia.
Dr. A. James Gregor, visiting professor in social and political philosophy at the University of Texas, told a UK audience Wednesday night that
most Marxist ideas "cannot be
objected to really," but the
means by which the ideas are
realized is the bone of conten-

"Marx understood the individual to be a derivative product
of society," Dr. Gregor said,
adding "Marxism wishes to
change the social precepts which
prevent man from fulfillment."
He said most Americans have
not been exposed to ideological
debate and shun it because of
the notion that it is a "vituperative attack."
"Our time is a time of secular ideologies," he said, and
"we must be prepared to have
dialogue with Marxists. We have
opinions . . . whether we are
ready to admit it or not."
If we are prepared to defend
our ideologies militarily, says
Dr. Gregor, we should be able
to defend them verbally. The
key, he says, is "not to listen
to what a person says, but to
what he says."

He noted that among the
first to make changes in Marxist
thought was Lenin who changed
the voting process because of the
social backwardness of the Russian people at the time of the
revolution.
Dr. Cregor observed ironically that if Marx came back and
looked at the U.S. and the U.S.-S.today, he would probably

According to Dr. Simon,
"people studying China today
have some sort of exotic aura"
like the Kremli nolo gists, or Russian experts, had a fewyears back.
The romantic notion of China
watchers, he says, is "equally
as inaccurate" as it was then.
Analysts of China and its affairs "tend t. come from a variety of disciplines," says Dr.
Simon, "including political science, history, sociology, anthropology, economics, and many
others."
He speculates that an interest
of this sort usually begins w hen a
student is an undergraduate. The

and to examine Chinesebehavior

most "China hands" are scholars
whose knowledge of the field is
a result of long, intensive academic study.
Because of the existing dipbetween Comlomatic face-of- f
munist China and the U.S., the
"China hand" must turn to
printed material, refugees, and
"third country" situations for his
information.
Discussing the availability of
printed material, Simon says
there are "mountains of it" furnished by the State Department
and an agency of the Commerce
Department, the Joint Publication Research Services.
The material received from
federal agencies is in English as
are most other sources.

A Sign Of The Times
It is perhaps a sign of the times
that the National Student Associastudent group
tion, the
that has accomplished so much in
its relatively short history, now
finds itself in a highly untenable
position because it has accepted
Central Intelligence Agency funds
ov er the years.
NSA's good works are now discredited in much of the world
to say nothing of on the American
because, as Rampart's
campus
for its
magazine is saying in ads
March issue, the CIA has "infilleft-liber-

al

trated and subverted" the organization.

If the situation were not so serious, one might muse on the comedy
in NS A which has so long been
criticized on this campus and others
as being leftist or soft on Communism turning out to be, in fact,
associated with the right-winhard - line Central Intelligence
Agency in its international endeavors.
That NSA has done much good
cannot be denied. Its work on the
American campus and the programs
it now offers its member schools
mark it as unique among American student unions, of which it is
the largest and most highly regarded.
It is most unfortunate, therefore, that the association found it
necessary in the early 1950' s to
turn to the CIA for funding for
its international programs.
It is easy to explain the NSA
predicament by looking at the
that faced it then. The Communist governments were, and still
are, putting up enormous funds to
win over the youth of the world.
The U.S. was not. No private foundation was willing to give money
to this new group so that it could
send students to international con
g,

ferences. The CIA was willing. The
strings that were attached still are
not completely known.
But regardless of its plight, NSA
committed a breach of confidence
with the student governments that
supported it in entering into a covert relationship with an intelligence organization. The fruits of
that early indisgression are now
fully evident, despite the fact that
NSA has been phasing out CIA
funding for the past two years.
In the trouble besetting NSA
there is a moral for any academic
agency. Universities and student
groups should by now realize that
the ends don't justify the means
especially when these means cannot
be openly discussed and debated.
There is some genuine concern,
in the wake of this week's revelation, that NSA might go under.
Tt is to be hoped that it will not.
NSA as a

student organization

is to be commended for all it has
done and for the programs it is

now offering. The University Student Government, for example,
would be well advised to drop
its "political stand" nonsense and
join NSA if for no other reason
than because of what it offers the
student in the way of insurance,
discounts, and the like.
But no doubt the small minds
that run many student governments
will plug the lasting information
about NSA into their preconceptions and never realize the con-

tradiction.
NSA must go on.
