THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. On 23 December 19)49, the first day of the University holidays, printed
leaflets were posted in the buildings of the C.I. Parhon University in
Bucharest. These leaflets, which reportedly were posted in other
universities and large industrial enterprises, took the form of a reply
to the celebration of Stalin's birthday. A large number of students were
arrested at the Faculty of Medicine in Bucharest. The investigation at
the Faculty of Letters produced no result.,
2, During the vacation period students wishing to use the library were com-
pelled to show their identity cards and their names were entered on
special lists. When courses were resumed notices signed by the dean were
posted, prohibiting students from standing in the corridors and ordering
them to leave the classrooms upon the completion of lectures.
3n Such measures did not prevent the appearance of new leaflets at the
Faculty of Law between four and six p.m. on Red Army Day at the same
time that a meeting in honor of the Soviet Army was taking place. These
leaflets were addressed to the "an-ay of jailers"
Ia. The appearance of clandestine leaflets produced dismay in the Union of.
Working Youth (UTM) and brought criticism from the Central Committee of
the Rumanian fforkers Party. A twenty-four hour guard was stationed in
all corridors and classrooms of the University.
5? Students have been organized into teams of thirty under the direction of
a "responsible" who is assisted by "agitators". These officials are
charged with maintaining discipline, stimulating political activity and
reporting on students under their control. In view of the fact that there
are few students active in the Union of Working youth, it has been decided
to place the students in the. professors' trade union
