...possible to remain independent of government control and open about its activities. On the other hand, it is very easy to exaggerate how badly public confidence in academic institutions will be shaken by covert recruitment of American students. If academics observe and then pass on the names of particular pupils, their university is neither subverted by the CIA nor does it become a training ground for dubious covert operations...
However, the CHUL proposals allow CHUL to set case-by-case the necessary percentage for student boycott approval depending on the costs a particular boycott would entail. This policy is misguided. Boycott referenda should be uniformly decided by a simple majority, and they should be binding...
...already soaring inflation rate. The U.S. had been counting on nuclear energy to achieve a greater degree of energy independence, but the Three Mile Island accident helped demonstrate that there is no easy path to self-sufficiency. The use of each kind of energy has its own particular problems or risks. Says David Rosenbaum, a consultant to the General Accounting Office and a former professor of theoretical physics at Boston University: "The public has been deluded into thinking that if all the scientists just buckle down, they can figure it all out. That's not true. When you have...
...U.C.S. also claims that top staff members of the NRC are too cozy with the industry they are regulating. A 1975 study done by Common Cause found that 65% of NRC staffers had been employed by companies that held licenses, permits or contracts with the commission.

They have a po litical goal, which is to capture the NRC with antinuclear forces." And Hendrie insists...
Another problem is that Forum planners may exercise self-censorship when selecting topics. Jackson stated emphatically that ARCO's possible reaction to a particular event would never be a consideration. But self-censorship need not be conscious. For example, the subjects of oil industry corruption or "The Political Clout of Atlantic Richfield" might prove too embarrassing even to be considered. Again, business critics such as Cesar Chavez and former Iowa Senator Dick Clark have spoken at the Forum, and the School has also invited a couple of prominent socialists. However, the crucial point remains that there has been a conspicuous...
