Student government officials
at New Jersey Colleges were
divided. Some felt academic
freedom was being challenged.
Others thought C. I. A.
involvement necessary to offset
international student groups
that have been influenced. by

The hubbub was created by
Ali article in the next issue of
Ramparts Magazine which
charges the C. I. A. used staff
members of the N. S. A. as
undercover agents abroad and
arranged for draft deferments

There are 10 New Jersey
student governments in the

affiliation, Nero said.

government control. He pointed'
to the N, S. A.'s opposition to I
the Vietnam policy as an
instance where the N. S. A.
