The council moved into ex ecutive session when council member Vincent Marine rose to tell council of an interview with .Richard C. Maloney, associate dean of the College of the Lib eral Arts. In this manner, the council look necessary powers to keep Maloney’s opinion pri vate. The interview was part of a committee report designed to place before the council enough facts and opinion, to enable its members to vote intelligently on the ROTC issue. However, the Collegian yester day learned that Maloney—in his interview—considered the Liberal Arts Council’s move to eliminate compulsory ROTC unfeasible. Maloney also reportedly ques tioned the.intent of the coun cil's original resolution calling it a political football and saying it was introduced in the LA council by enterprising poli ticians. He was quoted as saying there was not enough research conduct ed by the council on the question, and he considered the move ill timed. The council also heard opinions from ROTC spokesmen from the different branches on campus,! who seemed to feel that it made no difference whether or not ROTC was compulsory -or volun tary, at the University. But the council's action re portedly was influenced sub stantially from the Maloney interview. Maloney also called the ROTC resolution "illiter ate." and /’intemperate." ac cording to Marino's executive session report. A council mem ber verified the statements giv en in the report.
