Internal Security

The House Internal Security Committee, successor to the House Un-American Activities Committee, sent a letter to dozens of Universities around the country-including Harvard-last July requesting a full list of all outside speakers who had spoken on campus during the last two years with a statement of how much each was paid and who paid them.

Committee spokesmen later said the letters were an attempt to determine what role speakers' fees play in financing allegedly "subversive" groups. The groups under investigation include SDS, the Black Panther Party, and the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam.

Two weeks after receiving the letter, Charles P. Whitlock, assistant to President Pusey for Civic and Governmental Relations, replied that the University was "unable" to comply with the request. Whitlock's reply left open the question of whether the University-like Tufts and a number of other institutions-views the request as an attack on academic freedom.

In a letter to Rep. Richard H. Ichord (D-Mo.), chairman of HISC, Whitock said that Harvard did not have the information requested because "matters such as who is invited to speak and whether the speaker is paid (and if paid, what amount), are wholly within the control of student organizations."

Higher Education

Harvard has partially agreed to a request by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency that it report names of Pennsylvania students on state scholarships disciplined for campus disruptions or convicted for criminal offenses arising from disruptions.

The conditions state, however, that the University will report only those students who are expelled, suspended, or denied enrollment as a result of their actions in student protests.

The agency's request carried with it the threat that failure to comply would cause the termination of all scholarship aid to Harvard students from the state of Pennsylvania. At stake was about $29,600 in scholarships and another $25,000 in student loans.

The conditional agreement is in line with existing University policy of informing a scholarship donor when students receiving aid become ineligible for scholarship, Administration sources said last month.

The agreement, sent to Harvard for approval last April, originally asked that the University also supply the names of Pennsylvania scholarship students convicted of 1) criminal misdemeanors and 2) offenses against other universities.

In a letter to the agency dated June 17, President Pusey said that these two additional requirements "appear to us unadministrable since our records are unlikely to contain the information requested."

"With this qualification-which we hope will be understood and accepted-we are happy to return the agreement," the letter said.

The University was notified shortly after sending the letter that the conditions were acceptable.

On March 25, Mary I. Bunting, president of Radcliffe, notified the agency that she could not "as a matter of conscience approve such an agreement between Radcliffe and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency." In refusing to comply, Radcliffe became one of more than a dozen institutions which rejected the request.

Spokesmen indicated last Spring that Radcliffe would replace the lost scholarship money for affected students.
