CIA continues to recruit foreigners
WASHINGTON (AP) - The 35
men and women listened tensely
as the CIA recruiter told them
they would be working secretly
overseas getting foreigners to spy
for the United States. “I don't
want to scare you off. You've got
to understand what you're buying
into," the recruiter said.
The group was invited to the
session in a northern Virginia of
fice building after responding to a
classified ad.
A few will survive the rigorous
selection among the growing
number of applicants who send
resumes to the CIA each year.
Those who make it will find
that despite the radical changes
wrought by the Soviet Union's
demise, their jobs will have much
in common with the espionage
practiced in the heyday of the
Cold War.
In fact the methods, to hear re
cruiter Bob Simpson describe
them, sound like a page taken
from John Le Carr6.
The 18-month training, said the
Washington area's chief recruiter,
will include surveillance tech
niques, safe houses, encryption
and agent meetings.
Trainees will then receive a
specific assignment, learning
about the country and the cases.
"Then when you're ready,
you'll pack up your household
and go overseas," said Simpson, a
30-year agency veteran.
Abroad, CIA case officers lead
a double life.
By day, embassy clerks or
diplomats. By night, spymasters.
It's called "cover," Simpson ex
plained.
Only your spouse and agency
colleagues will know that you re
ally work for the CIA and not for
the State or Defense departments
as you say you do, he said.

Course cuts will affect majors, graduates
Continued from Page 1
"If we went to the worst-case
scenario, what would happen is
we'd lose a lot of seats (in Engl
104 and Engl 301)," he said. "The
fewest losses would be in the ser
vice courses, but it would still
have an impact. The majors and
graduates (in English) would be
affected the most, especially in the
sophomore surveys."
The cause of the problem is
lack of money for all colleges.
Mitchell said, however, the prob
lem is even worse in liberal arts.
"The College of Liberal Arts is
in particularly bad shape because
it does more of the teaching — es
pecially in the core curriculum —
than most of the other colleges,"
he said. "There's more demand
for our (liberal arts) courses —
and that's true for the English de
partment — and yet there's less
funding available."
Much of the money problem
for liberal arts and the English de
partment comes from the fact that
they are responsible for providing
the funds to teach students in oth
er majors, unlike other universi
ties in Texas.
"All courses are paid for by the
College of Liberal Arts," Mitchell
said. "We are the only institution
in the state of Texas in which all
the teaching of freshman English
and technical writing is done by
the Department of English.
"In many other institutions its
done in engineering writing cen
ters or business writing centers,
which are funded by those col
leges, although staffed by people
from English," Mitchell said.
"That means when the money
crunch comes, we are particularly
hard hit."
Dr. Margaret Sokolik, a profes
sor in the English department,
agrees.
"We have nothing else to cut,"
she said. "We've cut a number of
lecturers. The euphemism is they
have failed to be rehired —
they've been fired." Sokolik said
faculty in the English department
must supply their own materials,
including paper, pens and pencils.
"What's left to cut?" she asked.
"It's really hard to find things to
cut to pay for summer school.The
worst-case scenario is that there
could be very little offered this
summer and the courses students
have already enrolled in could get
cut. Although there are classes in
the books, those classes could still
be in danger if things don't
change."
Mitchell said he hopes other
options can be found.
"We're very reluctant to do
that (cut further courses) because
we're already offering a bare-
bones summer program as it is."
However, the department has
already made significant cuts in
graduate courses. If further cuts
are made, the undergraduate pro
gram would be seriously affected,
Mitchell said.
"We've had to cut back in the
graduate courses, which cuts back
in the undergraduate sections we
can offer. Right now we're almost
at the point of no return. If we go
any further, and that's what we're
talking about, we'd have to cut
the rest of the graduate courses
(for the summer) and then we'd
have to pull the courses graduates
teach — the 104s and 301s."
Mitchell said he teofedit
plan to theTSollege of Literal Aitj
that may alleviate the proUem.
"I have a plan in withlheco!
lege which offers an altemath :
that I delivered today (Monday)
he said. "It offers analtemativ i
which wouldn't necessitatetti
(cutting course offerings).It'si
the hands of the college. Fracas
tiously optimistic that weft
work something out."
Mitchell declined to comm
on the plan until college official
had time to review it. Char’s
Johnson and Woodrow Jones,a;
sistant liberal arts deans, wereu
available for comment.
Mitchell said, however,tin
even if courses are notaffecH
this summer, the situation*
eventually come to a head.
"Even if we keep everyth!
we've got a problem," he sail
"We're going to have a problem:
the summer and a bigger prohfe
in the fall.
"There's 6,300 studentscomi 1
in the fall," he said. "Rightnf
we have seats for maybe 2,(If
English 104). Even if we movt
up the classes' sizes, it would on 1
allow four hundred moiestt
dents. That's the real crunch do
the road."
Solonik said she feels that no 1
is the time to face the problem.
"The time for optimismli
passed," she said. "It's time:
start seriously looking at thep»|
lem instead of just hoping it*
just work out. It could belli!
things are cut back so much that 1
would still affect a lot of studet*
who need to get in their Engl®
credits for graduation at thee^
of the summer."
