Defense research
continues despite
student protests
NEW YORK WP) — Thirteen
major universities where govern
ment defense work has been the
target of student protest report
they have in no way changed
their policies toward war re
search.
A survey of some 70 colleges
around the country shows further
that only two of four colleges
that have curtailed or ended their
government affiliations in the
past couple of years did so di
rectly because of student pro
tests.
Most of the colleges queried
said they conduct little defense-
related research. What Defense
contracts they do have are gen
erally unclassified or unrelated
to warfare, they said.
Military campus spending has
been declining, and further re
trenchments may occur, particu
larly if campus strife continues.
The Associated Press survey
turned up these examples where
colleges have not yielded to stu
dent demands on the issue of
defense research.
At Ohio State University —
where defense work accounted for
roughly a third of all research
during fiscal 1969 — officials say
a major effect of student pro
tests was to remove money from
proposed social, ecological and
other research programs. The
money, a spokesman said, was
diverted to repairing damage and
beefing up the campus police
force.
The protests did not change
university policy on defense re
search, Robert P. Stevenson, ad
viser to the vice president of aca
demic affairs, added.
Kent State University, where
four students were killed in a
confrontation with National
Guardsmen last May, has a long
time policy against accepting
classified research but, despite
student demands, still houses
four Defense Department proj
ects.
The University of Wisconsin,
scene of a bomb explosion that
killed one student and injured
four others last month, has not
four others last month.
At Iowa State University, stu
dent demonstrations had “no ef
fect however” on defense-related
contracts, Wayne Moore, vice
president for business, said.
Heavily involved in defense re
search is the University of Cali
fornia, which runs two weapons
laboratories for the Atomic En
ergy Commission. In fiscal 1970,
the AEC said it appropriated an
estimated $224 million for these
labs. The contracts for these in
stallations are up for renewal in
1972.
On the other hand, the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology
is divesting itself of the Draper
Instrumentation Laboratory
which has developed guidance
systems for space and missile
systems. Student protests were
in part responsible for this, a
spokesman said.
The University of Pittsburgh,
where acceptance of secret con
tracts was strictly limited by a
policy decision, canceled a secret
contract for writing a technical
manual in 1968. Its only other
recent secret contract expired in
1969.
That military research does not
seem to be a major factor at
many colleges is borne out by
Defense Department figures.
These show a steady decline
over the past three years in on-
campus expenditures for basic
research and exploratory devel
opment — the two major areas
of military campus spending.
Outlays in fiscal 1970 amounted
to $25 million, as compared with
$235 million in 1969 and $243
million in 1968.
This money was divided
among approximately 4,300 uni
versity projects in fiscal 1970.
In each of the two proceeding
years, the Defense Department
funded about 5,000 projects a
spokesman said.
