A Look At NSA
Part Two
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second part of a two
part editorial on the operations of the National Student
Association.
The other face of the National Student Association is
that of a left-wing - front organization.
While some sources claim that the organization is strictly
anti-communist, many of its resolutions and expressed opin
ions are in direct conflict with its constitution and lean
so far to the left that they aid the communists with their
schemes for undermining the morale of the American public.
NSA OPPOSES the House Committee on Un-American
Activities which was established to investigate and keep
tabs on communist activity in the U. S. How can NSA
have this opinion and still “preserve the interests and in
tegrity of the government and constitution of the United
States of .A.iTierica
NSA OPPOSES U.S. policy concerning the admission
of Red China to the United Nations. It favors the recogni
tion of that radical communist nation and states that the
U.S. should “explore possibilities of initiating trade rela
tions with ‘Mainland China’ and seek additional political,
economic, and cultural ways to improve relations with China.”
Again, how can NSA have this opinion and still “preserve
the interests and integrity of the government and constitu
tion of the United States of America?”
NSA OPPOSES U.S. intervention in Vietnam. It calls
for a stop to the bombing of North Vietnam, the recogni
tion of the Viet Cong at the peace table and the withdrawal
of all foreign forces from North and South Vietnam. How
can NSA oppose the spread of communism and hold this
opinion ?
NSA OPPOSES the selective service system (the draft)
in the U.S. It states that “universities should not partici
pate in the selective service process in any fashion” . . . 2-S
deferments are ‘undemocratic and in effect, biased toward
socio-economic levels.” Conscientious objectors should have
full protection of the law. The ‘security questionaire’ should
be eliminiated as inconsistent with civil liberties.”
NSA OPPOSES the civil rights bill of 1966 as being a
“weak and token response to the needs of minority groups
and consequently feels that it has no place in the American
legislative process.”
These opinions were not simply “pulled out of the air.”
They are from resolutions as found in the Codification
of Policy of the United States National Student Association,
1965-66.
This is the type of student organization that, with
financial aid and backing of the federal government through
the CIA, is trying to establish itself in our colleges and
universities under the pretext of improving academic and
social conditions.

White House Panel Endorses
CIA Subsidies To Groups
WASHINGTON A White
House study panel endorses the
Central Intelligence Agency’s
much - criticized subsidizing of
various private organizations, and
President Johnson agrees with
the group’s findings.
At Johnson’s direction, the
White House made public Thurs
day a preliminary report on a re
view of this controversial facet of
CIA operations. Press secretary
George Christian emphasized that

Johnson agrees with the interim
conclusions.
The report, submitted in letter
form and dated Wednesday, came
from Undersecretary of State
Nicholas Katzenbach, who with
Nicholas Katzenbach, who is con
ducting the review along with
CIA Director Richard Helms, and
John W. Gardner, secretary of
health, education and welfare.
CIA’s role was defended on two
grounds:
—“It did not act on its own
initiative, but in accordance with
national policies established by
the National Security Council in
1952 through 1954.”
—“The support provided by the
Central Intelligence Agency en
abled many farsighted and cour
ageous Americans to serve their
country in times of challenge and
danger to the United States and
the free world.”
Katzenbach told Johnson he ex
pects a final report, to include
recommendations, will be ready
early next month.

Amusements Editor
An innovation which is sure to
revolutionize communications has
been introduced by an Oregon
scholar.
His new language, called Anze,
is a derivative of English, but
there are several changes which
must be made so it will be under
standable for people with lower
intellects (so that’s why they sent
it to the Batt).
The new language would sim
plify spelling and grammar, and
limit words to ten letters. Ef
forts are now being made to bring
the founder of Anze to A&M to
head the English department.
Number and tense would re
main the same, and the same
word would be used for different
parts of speech.
In his pamphlet, the inventor of
Anze makes such statements as
“English excells in having no
grammatical gender.”
Another goodie says clearly
and simply “Typewriter has A a,
E e on two keys. Use four keys
and O o . . . Anze suggests add
ing A ah,/ate A fat, E eat, O
oats.
Clearly this new language will
take the confusion out of com
municating.
Included with the pamphlet was
a check for $7, and a note which
said the Battalion could cash the
check if we print a comment ful
filling certain requirements.
We were aghast at the thought.
We weren’t quite aghast enough
to turn the money down, but the
people upstairs were, so we in
dignantly tore up the check and
threw it into the wastebasket
with a sneer. Maybe Anze will
eliminate sneering wastebaskets
and do a great service for simple-
minded newsmen.
The pamphlet urges everyone
to write his congressman in be
half of Anze, and to agitate, pick
et, and speak-in for the adoption
of the new language.
We at the Battalion came out
unequivocally in favor of Anze,
with certain reservations, of
course. If it is found to be Un-
American or unpatriotic by the
DAR or the Aggie Mothers Clubs
we will certainly reconsider our
position.
MANY COMMENTS have been
received about the Borders Box-
mate Rater which recently ap
peared in these pages. The re
sponse was generally favorable
around A&M, but it apparently
stirred up a hornets nest at TWU.
I would like to offer my sin-
cerest apologies to anyone I may
have offended. Just to show my
good faith, and preserve a har
monious brother-sister school re
lationship between A&M and
TWU, I bought a Tessie sweat
shirt.
The fit is not very good, but
the thought behind it was very
sincere.
Then suddenly things started
happening.
In one of my classes someone
had ripped the seat from the
floor leaving bare nails for me
to sit on.
At Sbisa they made me go back
in the kitchen to eat.
When I got back to the dorm,
my roommate had moved all my
things out onto the sidewalk.
I changed my mouthwash.
Nothing. I changed my deodor
ant. Nothing. I even wore a
clean pair of socks to class. Still
nothing.
So I decided my sweatshirt
needed washing, and when it came
back from the laundry, it had
shrunk to half its size, and I
could no longer wear it.
But suddenly I was accepted
again. If you ever have the same
^rouble, try washing your sweat
shirt — it worked for me.
Editor:
The Battalion;
Dear Sir:
This little incident happened
fifty years ago while I was a
“Fish” at A&M and I’ve been
afraid to tell it ’til the present
time.
It was during a crucial basket
ball game between Rice Univer
sity and A&M. It was being play
ed in the old wood gymnasium (I
have forgotten the name). But
the game waxed hot and furious
because it had an important bear
ing on the conference standing.
In the last few moments of the
game the score stood 31 to 32
with Rice leading. The time
keeper got out of his chair, stuck
the gun in the air, pulled the
trigger and it didn’t fire. Every
one could see him as he turned
the chamber for another shell.
In those two seconds before he
fired, A&M racked up a basket
that put them ahead 1 point.
A big squabble took place be
tween the officials and the play
ers as to who rightfully won the
game. As the crowd gathered
around the officials, I, lowly fish
that I was, dared not get in the
melee so I just climbed up on a
wooden railing or retaining wall
that surrounded the court that
was about forty inches high.
From my vantage point I could
see over the heads of the shouting
group surrounding the referee. I
was holding on to a 4x4 upright
post that supported the frame
work above. Two electrical wires
were dangling down beside the
post about even with my face.
Never dreaming they were “hot”
I caught hold of the ends to roll
them up out of my way. When
the two ends touched, a blue
spark about three inches long
leaped in front of my face and
every light in the house went out.
Imagine the wails and impreca
tions that went up! ! ! The moon
was shining brightly and made
a pale light at the nearest exit
door. I made a bee line for that
opening and never stopped until
I was safe in bed on the fourth
floor of Leggett Hall.
I didn’t even tell my roommate
and never did learn how the de
cision was made as to who won
the game. I do remember that
“Kike” Burkett was a player and
maybe the Captain of the A&M
squad.
Very truly yours,
Jack Owens
