`during the last two days with
only a handful of students

Max Wiecks of the Central
-Intelligence Agency In Wash-
.;ington, D.C., itas'been recruiting
areal univers,,ty students
interested In job opportunities
with the government.
Protesters have been taking
pictures of applicants, local and
I federal offices rather than on
the country, mainly because of
the existing atmosphere of stu-
dent protests.
This prevents any embarrass-[
ment of university officials. We
have an obligation as guests on
a campus not to cause
embarrassment of officials or to
disrupt student academic life in
any way. We, therefore, ask the
national federal officials' and
have even employed the use.of
walkie - talkies In the building,
according to authorities.,
"When court Is not in session,
the regulation involving ?cem-
eras in the building does not ap4
ply," said James Byrnes' Jr.,
U.S. marshal.
One student protester said he
wanted to try to talk applicants
out of working for the govern-
ment and because his memory
was so ad he tobk' ctures.
stated a CIA official in Wash-
ington, D.C.
"Most of the kids did not seem
at all upset at having their pic-
tures taken -by the protestors,"
said a federal official.
Wiecks Is recruiting students
for positions as 'economists,
political scientists,, librarians,
mathematicians, electrical engi-
neers, geographers and com-
puter specialists in Washington,
D.C.
