Medicine Tribe protests
co-op recruiting by CIA
Group accuses agency of involvement in drugs
By Sherri Roberts
STAFF WRITER
In an protest against recruitment
efforts by Central Intelligence
Agency representatives at Texas
A&M, members of the student
group Medicine Tribe gathered in
the MSC Monday afternoon, at
tempting to discourage students
from joining the agency. Sponsored
by the Multicultural Services Cen
ter, the agency visited campus to
present a program focusing on the
agency and cooperative education
opportunities it makes available to
students.
Accusing the agency of being in
volved in drug smuggling, Derek
Kalahan, a sophomore psychology
major and member of the group said
“We don’t want to obstruct students’
rights, we’re trying to say ‘Look at
what they do.’ ”
However, protest efforts were
kept to a minimum due to the pres
ence at the program of officials from
the University Police Department.
Bob Wiatt, director of security
and university police said, “They can '
protest, but it’s a violation to obstruct
a meeting held by a legally recog
nized organization.”
A bag of powdered sugar, labeled
“CIA cocaine — 100% pure”, was
quickly removed after a member of
Medicine Tribe placed it alongside
the cookies and punch on a refresh
ment table inside the meeting room.
Members of the group told stu
dents entering and leaving the meet
ing that the CIA was involved in co
vert illegal activities, likening it to
the “government’s branch of the ma
fia.” This information was well pub
licized, group members said, noting
that it had been reported by newspa
pers and the television show “West
57th.”
The meeting progressed free of
disruption.

North’s trial begins Tuesday;
Reagan still 6 subject to call’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oliver North’s Iran-Contra
trial will begin Tuesday with President Bush free of a
subpoena seeking his testimony but with former Presi
dent Reagan still “subject to call,” the judge in the case
said Monday.
Portions of Reagan’s diary also might be required as
evidence, U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell ruled.
However, he rejected North’s subpoena seeking Bush's
testimony in the trial in which North faces 12 criminal
charges.
North, who was indicted last March, will become the
first figure in the Iran-Contra affair to stand trial.
Many of the same witnesses who testified in the na
tionally televised congressional hearings two years ago
are expected to be called by the prosecutors, including
former Attorney General Edwin Meese III and North's
secretary, Fawn Hall.
At North’s side will be Brendan Sullivan, an aggres
sive Washington lawyer who also represented North be
fore the congressional panels investigating the Iran-
Contra affair.
At a hearing Friday, the government had sought to
quash North’s subpoenas seeking testimony from both
Reagan and Bush as well as records from Reagan.
Gesell said, “(North’s lawyers) made no showing that
President Bush has any specific information relevant
and material to the charges of the indictment which
makes it necessary or appropriate to require his appear
ance.”
But President Reagan remains subject to call on the
subpoena served on him by North in December, Gesell
said in a three-page order.
The judge said Reagan wouldn’t be called as a wit
ness “unless and until” the court issues another order
after giving the Justice Department and Reagan’s law
yers an opportunity to list their objections at a hearing.
Gesell quashed North’s subpoena for Reagan's diary,
except for what he described as a “narrow exception.”
The judge said the diary subpoena would be.“subject
to renewal” if North’s lawyers support a claim that
“President Reagan ordered, directed, requested or,
with advance knowledge, condoned any of North’s al
leged false statements, document-removal or destruc
tion” or other alleged crimes in the affair.
In congressional testimony in 1987, North said he
had authorization from higher-ups in the administra
tion for all of his actions.
Gesell said Reagan has cooperated with independent
counsel Lawrence Walsh and been responsive to re
quests for documents. “He remains willing to assist,”
Gesell said.
Lawyers from Walsh’s office were permitted to re
view typewritten excerpts from Reagan’s diary a year
ago, it was disclosed at a hearing Friday.
North is accused of concealing from Congress in
1985 and 1986 his efforts on behalf of the Nicaraguan
Contras and of falsely telling then-Attorney General
Meese that the National Security Council had no role in
diverting money from the Iran arms sales to the Con
tras.
The former Marine and White House aide also is ac
cused of illegally accepting a $13,800 security system at
his home from co-defendant Richard Secord, convert
ing to his own use at least $4,300 in traveler’s chec ks
from Contra leader Adolfo Calero and conspiring to
defraud the Treasury of tax revenue in connection with
charitable contributions supporting the Contras.
On Jan. 13 Gesell dismissed the two central charges
against North, conspiracy and theft counts accusing
him of illegally diverting more than $14 million in U.S.
Iran arms sale proceeds to the Nicaraguan rebels.
Those charges were dismissed after a panel of intelli
gence experts in the Reagan administration, for na
tional security reasons, refused to declassify many por
tions of classified documents that were deemed
necessary for the prosecution or defense.

Congress
may close
loopholes
Legislators have
$61 million leftover
WASHINGTON (AP)-Mem
hers of Congress sensitive ovet
their pending pay raise are mot
ing toward closing a loopholeii
federal law that allows almost half
of them to convert $61 millionii
old campaign accounts for thei
own use.
The money is what is left over
alter campaign bills have been
paid and is in the accounts of ISl
House members and 71 senators
who were in Congress when the
law was passed in 1980.
“I didn’t go out and spend
the money because that’s not the
way 1 operate my own home,
Rep. Larry J. Hopkins, R-Ky
said. “I spend what I think is ap
propriate to win.”
Hopkins, who cruised to re
election on a 3-to-l margin
year, had $604,824 left over inhis
campaign account, according to
records at the Federal Election
(Commission.
That puts him in 10th place
among members of the House.
On the average, House mem
hers exempted from the law
about $224,000 in their campaign
accounts, while senators, whose
campaigns usually are consider
ably more costly, have an average
of $34 1,000, according to EEC re
cords.
Many of the accounts have
grown with successive campaigns.
The top spot in the House be
longs to Rep. Stephen Solarz, D
N.Y., with more than $1.1 mil
lion. But Solarz is a co-sponsoro[
a hill that would abolish the so-
called “grandfather clause,"
which lets him keep the monev
for himself if he wants.
Candidates for Congress can
use leftover campaign monev to
support political organizations or
other candidates. In addition,
members of Congress can use the
money to “defray any ordinan
and necessary expenses” arising
because of their position.
Legislation now before each
house would eliminate the possi
hility of letting the grandfathered
members convert leftover funds
to thier own uses but would con
tinue permitting it for the other
uses allowed under the law.
The Housf. Ways and Means
Committee chairman, Rep. Dan
Rostenkowski, D-Ill., has more
than $1 million — up from
$596,000 since January 1987 -
and has not expressed an opinion
on the issue of abolishing the
loophole, according to an aide
In the Senate, the list is topped
by Sens. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.,with
nearly $2.1 million and
Gramm, R-Texas, with $1.9
lion. However, those atnounisare
not unusually big war chests as
both of those senators face re-
election campaigns next year.
And, unlike the House, the
Senate has a rule forbidding its
members from converting their
campaign money for personal
use, although it does not have the
force of law and its effect on for
mer senators or their survivors is
unclear.
Proposals to abolish the
exemption in both the House and
Senate have come up as members
of Congress are about to pick up
50 percent pay raises, boosting
salaries from $89,500 to $135,000
annually for rank-and-file law
makers.
The grandfather clause is “an
embarrassment to them,” said
Norman Ornstein, a political ana
lyst for the American Enterprise
Institute. “I think it’s a foregone
conclusion that they’ll do away
with it.”
