Letters to the Editor The CIA Man
The BDH of Nov. 1, quo es
Dean Brennan as having said
regarding the anti-CIA sit-in :
"We found it physically impos-
sible to get to the interview
room." If these are indeed his
words, he is guilty of misrepre-
senting the facts. ,
As a non-participant ob-
server of the sit-in I wish to
state unequivocally that it was
possible for Mr. Braun to
get to the interview room. As
a matter of fact he himself did'
get into' the interview room.
Any impression that it was im-
possible to do so is absolutely

als any more than it should be
censored by the University.
I can sympathize with the
March on Washington, as it was
an individual expression of dis-
satisfaction, which did not
abridge the liberties of others;
but in this case the personal
rights of Brown and Pembroke
students to learn about employ-
ment opportunities with, like i
or not, a government agency,
have been infringed upon. The
CAC may have "wolf a victory,"
but by doing so it has violate
the basic rights of an, indiv
Idual's freedom of choice. May
it not happen again,
Editor:
I have read the B H s tran-

Mr. Schwartzman's statement
hat "these [CIA] interviews

unction of the University." In
he same vein, neither is servi-
ng food at the refectory or al-
wing James Brown to appear
his coming Spring Weekend.
t would appear to me that the
niversity is performing a great
ervice in allowing and promot-
ng interviewers from various
ompanies to appear at Brown.
t would seem that it is only
ommensurate with the respon-
ibilities of the modern univer-
ity that students be given ev-
ry opportunity to confront
rospective employers before
aduation. Furthermore, and
