] 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.

things it would prefer not to hear, then
we will have failed to perform one of our
most important functions.” King said.
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. Wiesncr recently
coedited a 340-page anti-ABM volume

Regardless of IDA’s loyalties, the
question of IDA and the universities
ultimately swings in a full circle hack to
the perplexing program of academic
freedom. 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.”

question which had remained unanswered
