Claims Strategy Information Center President
SDS Controls 85 Per Cent of Student Press
Eigthy-five per cent of the stu
dent press is controlled by left-
wing militants of the Students for
a Democratic Society and it repre
sents a serious threat to America,
warned the president of the Na
tional Strategy Information Cen
ter here Monday.
Frank R. Barnett, a former uni
versity professor, explained three
areas the SDS has set long-range
plans to control, and all have been
successful. Barnett spoke to 48
businessmen enrolled here in the
three-week Executive Develop
ment Program.
He noted there are 270 under
ground newspapers reaching one
million students, including 400,000
high school students. The under
ground press includes everything
from advertisements on sex rela
tions to attacks against American
business and values, he said.
Eighty of the nation’s college
newspapers are in the hands of
the SDS, Barnett said.
A major student organization,
the National Student Association,
“has always been liberal but now
has become radical,” Barnett de
clared. “NSA has virtually been
captured by SDS.”
Barnett stressed both NSA and
the underground press, through
its nation-wide Liberated Press
News Service — the Associated
Press of the radicals — now con
trol much of the news service
copy going into student news
papers.
“The best propaganda then be
comes available to member papers
almost instantly,” Barnet sug-
Children’s Dramatics Sign-Up

Registration for spring chil
dren’s creative dramatics conduct
ed by the theater arts section of
the English Department will be
held Saturday, announced C. K.
Esten.
Two age groups of creative
dramatics and theater by children
will be directed by Mrs. Aileen
Wenck. Saturday morning ses
sions will begin Feb. 14 and run
through May 16.
Any child age six through 12
years is eligible to participate.
Six to eight-year-olds will meet

year-olds 10 to 10:45 and chil

ited to youngsters who partici
pated previously in creative dra
matics, will meet 11 a.m. to 12
noon, Mrs. Wenck said.
"Younger groups will learn
creative expression through care
fully organized ste ^s,” she added.
"We will start with pantomime
and the children will learn to
create a character through move
ment. As they develop, dialogue
will be added. Acting out simple
stories will follow.”
Offered for the first time by
the theater arts section, theater
by children will enable youngsters
who have had creative dramatics
to produce their own play. It will
fill the gap between creative dra
matics and summer Premier Play
ers, open to 14-year-olds and
older.
Lighting, sets and other phases
of production will be handled by
the youth, with supervision.
Registration will be from 8 a.m.
to 12 noon Feb. 7 in the Fallout

$3 per child will be charged.

will be limited to. 15. Prerequisites

dren include previous participa
tion in creative dramatics and
permission of the instructor.

gested.
“American society is caught
between the hammer and the
anvil,” he told the businessmen.
He said on one side is the
Soviet industrial-military com
plex and on the other side are
militants whose goals are to es
tablish communism in their home
land.
Barnett said there are three
types of protesters — pragmatic
protesters who want to reform
the student cafeteria, cultural
protesters who want out of a
cultural system and revolutionary
protesters, whose numbers at the
present time are small but have
much influence.
“We should welcome the prag
matic protester and not drive him
into becoming a hard revolution
ary,” Barnett emphasized.
“I don’t believe in the gener
ation gap,” the New York City
executive remarked. “There has
always been a generation gap,
always a struggle between fa
thers and sons.
“However, in the long run, the
father’s values were accepted. To
day, we don’t have a generation
gap, we have a value gap.”
Barnett outlined the different
militant groups in America and
explained the organization and
goals of each.
He reported the 50,000 hard
core revolutionary students are
a small minority of the 6.7 million
college students, but the mili
tant’s control over the press has
been one of their most successful
and most dangerous accomplish
ments.
Barnett reasons these college
editors and reporters will move
from the college campus to daily
newspapers, television networks
and magazine staffs in an effort
to control the nation’s mass
media.
Less successful, but just as
dangerous, is the militant’s move
into business and industry, Bar
nett maintains.
“These kids who have been pro
testing against polite deans and
administrations found the AFL-
CIO was not an Anglo-Saxon
racket club,” Barnett quipped.
Another area the militants have
set their sights on is pollution.
“Everybody is concerned with
pollution and the SDS has held
workshops on how to become the
spearhead of the anti-pollution
crusade,” Barnett reported.
The militants plan to burn oil
company credit cards as part of
a nation-wide anti-pollution dem
onstration in April, he said.
“All left-wing groups are now
involved in pollution. They feel
it will gain them respectability
among the middle class,” Barnett
added.
“It’s time for the American
University Police Change
Name, Patrol Cars Too
A&M’s police force is sporting
a new name this semester, and
they have a new look to go with
it.
Now called the A&M University
Police, the organization was for
merly called Campus Security.
Police officers now drive two
new Plymouths in addition to a
Ford already in use. All three
cars have large gold shields on
the sides, with “A&M University
Police” printed in black and gold
letters.
The two Plymouths also will
have two flashing red lights on
top, similar to the Department
of Public Safety vehicles.
One of the cars already has
the flashing lights, assistant chief
Morris Maddox said, and police
officers are waiting for the other
set to be delivered.
Maddox said the flashing red
lights will be used mainly for
escort duty, and when rushing
to an accident. They will also
serve as a deterrent, he said,
which is part of the idea.
“A student breaking into a car
may see the police car cruising
through and cease his activities,”
Maddox explained. “I think the
lights will be a great help in
that respect.”
people to take action,” he con
cluded.
“There is no reason why the
American middle class cannot or
ganize for politics and public
affairs,” Barnett concluded.
