WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1969 ] PSU-IDA Ties Controverisal (Continued, from page three) imlestrlal complex and the ancient-and still upheld— concept of the universities’ dispassionate search for knowledge. Former IDA Official Christcller was quite forceful in asserting IDA's in dependence. In an interview with the New York Times he said the Institute has been “completely independent of the government” which assures it oi "being able to carry out studies that don’t merely support some preconceived idea of the government.” IDA officials admit, however, that they have been under pressure to support some preconveived notions of the Pen tagon. 'We have a tie to the government most of our funding comes from it. King told me, “though this is not an immutable situation. This financial link, however, does not condition the responses wc make to the questions the government poses for us to study.” “It is true that some middle levels or the DOD, faced with heavy pressures to get a job done, have occasionally desired that we bolster conclusion about matters which their own studies have led them to. We have consistently resisted such pressures and the upper management of DODhas recognized that it is not in our function to provide a respectable scien- for preconceived conclusions. “Indeed, when we cease occasionallv to tell the government, as the result of our study and analyses of problems, j Pattee To Display Playbills A collection of Philadelphia playbills recently acquired by the University libraries is on display in the Rare Books Room on the third floor of the west wing of Pattee. The items exhibited were selected from the 301 presented by William S. Dye, 111. They date from as early as 1836 and as late as 2900 and encompass an entire range of literature and music, from the top-flight presen tations of the Booths. Junium and Edwin, and the great Rachel, to superlativeladen ex travaganza sheets for “Tom” shows and circuses. They were collected in Philadelphia by Dye’s grandfather, who was evidently a loyal fan of the grand old Philadelphia Academy.

Reports Hidden There have been at least two charges that IDA failed in one of its “most impor tant functions.” Author James Ridgeway cited a case in his book “The Closed Cor poration” in which IDA made an un favorable study of the supersonic transport plane (SST) for the pro-SST Federal Aviation Agency. Ridgeway charges that, with a congressional debate pending, the FAA hid the report irom view and IDA made no .move to get the study into the open. Likewise. Sen. William Fulbright. jn conducting an investigation into the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in his Senate Foreign Relations Commit 100. was unable to pry loose a pertinent IDA study from the Defense Department. “When we prepare a study under contract to the United States Govern ment,” King told me. in response to the two chorees. “Unit study the property of the government, and it is their prerogative to determine to whom it will be released.” Those W’ho claim that IDA has been a restraining force on the military point to the emergence of Jason member Jerome Wicsncr of MIT as the leading academic critic of the Safeguard missile system.

With last > car’s change in cor porate structure. formal university sponsorship of IDA was severed, throw ing the case into a different and more delicate court* The challenge now is to a protestor’s right to engage in defense-sponsored or defense-related research on his own time. It is a challenge with moral implications and one. as is evident Irom the advance ment of infrared technology, which can not be couched in black and white term*'. “The military can make use of any technological advance.” grieved Leibovitz. “There’s no such thing as neutral research.” Ho shrugged his shoulders do you do 0 ” Then he turned away.
