Fear of dying, sickness draws 1,180 to swine flu vaccine clinic
A fear of dying, sickness or the outbreak of an As far as side effects were concerned, most
epidemic. These were the main reasons many of the people in line at the swine flu immunization clinic Monday gave for getting the vaccine.
A total of 1,180 people took part in the immunization program, which was termed a success by Ryu Kanemoto, a Student Health Center outreach nurse.
Many people took part in the program, but most of them were from campus, either faculty, staff and some students, Kanemoto said.
The reasons they gave for taking the shot were as varied as the people standing in line. “My doctor told me to get the vaccine,” said one elderly lady from the community.
Many did not rule out the possibility of getting the flu this late in the season. “All ofthe literature out seems to indicate you really could get the flu. I am just afraid to die,” said one coed.
One man said he was getting the vaccine because his wife, a nurse, “scared the hell out of me.”
Taking a step into a car presents a much graver danger than getting the vaccination was one man’s analogy to explain his outlook on the situation.
people decided they would rather suffer little now than a lot later.
“Why, millions of people have gotten the vaccine. Why should I be afraid? A vaccine like this could help to stamp out flu entirely,” one man said.
About one or two people felt faint when they were vaccinated, but otherwise, there were no problems, Kanemoto said. The side effects from the shot can last for up to 24 hours, she said.
“What side effects?” responded a male student when asked whether he feared the after effects ofthe shot. Most people said they did not.
People read a registration and consent form and signed it before they were given the vaccine, Kanemoto said. Information about swine flu, the vaccine and its side effects were listed on the form.
The prevailing feeling of the vaccinated people was summed up when one person said, “Since it is available,you should take advantage of it.”
Monday was the only day the immunization program was held here. A booster program will be held Jan. 10 for people up to 24 years old.

CIA’s role not as clear as in past, staffer says
BY KENT SCHOKNECHT
Staff Writer
The United States’ role in foreign affairs is not as clear as it once was, making it difficult for the Central Intelligence Agency to operate as it did in the past.
That was the conclusion of Donald Gregg, an employee of the CIA, in a speech to class members of International Relations 200, an introductory class.
Gregg, with the CIA since 1951, said the lack of a clear role for the United States—whether as a world police force or world arbiter— has made it impossible for the CIA to function in a way as clearly defined as at its inception in 1947.
“The agency was created in the wake of Pearl Harbor,” Gregg said. “People found it was necessary to have something like the CIA and that it could be used to prevent situations like Pearl Harbor from ever happening again.”
The origin of the CIA was influenced by other intelligence agencies, including the office of
movements.
“But the agency just wasn’t good at this sort of thing,” Gregg said, “When paramilitary groups were introduced and agent teams were dropped behind the lines in China in the 60s, they were very unsuccessful.”
Greggsaid the CIA can operate in the cloudily defined American role, but only by following certain guidelines: agents must remember that they are representatives of the United States.
“When they remember that, they are at their best, but when they pretend to be something else, then they are at their worst.”
Some CIA employees were and are highly qualified workers, but some—those who use knowledge gained from work with the CIA for illegal activities—also have been associated with the agency.
Gregg cited William Colby, former director of the agency, as an example of good employees and E. Howard Hunt as an example of the poor.
Part of the CIA’s operational problems stem from the pressure it receives because of its apparent accountability to no one. But Gregg said this is a false assumption.
Gregg’s personal involvement with the agency goes back to 1951, when he joined directly after graduation from Williams College in Massachusetts.
Until last year, he was a member of the operations directorate, that part of the CIA responsible for sending employees overseas.
From 1973 to 1975, he was chief of station in Korea, where he was responsible for intelligence work on North Korean feelings and the possibilities of North Korea trying to attack South Korea.
Gregg was in Korea w hen the CIA discovered that the North Koreans had dug tunnels under the Demilitarized Zone. The tunnels were then publicized by the South Koreans, thus ending their usefulness to the Communists.
Low percentage of tenured faculty cited
BY GARY UNEHAN
Stoff Writer
In a recent survey of the nation’s top 50 educational institutions, USC was listed c.s having the sixth lowest percentage of tenured faculty. This rating is favorable because it indicates a younger, more flexible faculty, said Solomon Golomb, Faculty Senate chairman.
This university has 56% tenured faculty, the report said. The average percentage for private institutions, taking into account the number of faculty members, is 62%. The average for public institutions is 68%.
Golomb said there is a definite relationship between tenure and age
— because the university has a lower percentage of tenured faculty, it tends to have a younger faculty than the national average.
The survey was extracted from the Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 1975-76 of the American Assn. of University Professors. The survey did not include lecturers or part-time or visiting faculty.
This university is very careful about granting tenure, said Zohrab Kaprielian, executive vice-president. “There are three levels of monitoring candidates must go through before tenure is granted. If someone is not qualified, we can ask them to leave.”
“The vitality of the university is indeed a problem one must be concerned with. If there is too high a percentage of tenured faculty, there is the danger of having no new people come in,” said Rosemary Cl iff, associate director of the Office of Institutional Studies.
Instructors hired as full or associate professors serve a maximum four-year probationary period before gaining tenure. Assistant professors serve a maximum probationary period of seven years before being granted tenure, Cliff said.
She said the trend in faculty hiring has changed over the last 10 years. In the mid-1960s, almost all schools were expanding. Institutions would try to lure professors away from other schools by offering them more money and rank. As a result, there was a good circulation of instructors and ideas.
Now, however, enrollments are declining so there is less hiring. Faculty members tend to gain tenure and stay at one university. The result is that if a university grants tenure easily, soon there will be no openings at all. Cliff said.
Cleaning fee refunds due
Students in university-owned apartments will be refunded their $30 cleaning fee, provided damage has not occurred during their residence.
Randy Rice, director of residence halls, said charges for extraordinary wear or damage and additional cleaning operations will be deducted from the $30, which had been described as a nonrefundable fee (Daily Trojan, Sept. 21).
“The initial reason for the fee was to generate income to defray cleaning costs,” Rice said. “Our assessment is that, with the students receiving an incentive through return of the fee, we will realize the cost of cleaning actu-
ally done by students themselves.
“We have enough confidence that the students can and will maintain their own apartments without the necessity of a mandatory, nonrefundable fee.”
The facilities subject to the re fund are Troy Hall, Cardinal Gardens, Harris Plaza, Webb Tower, Regal Trojan, Jewe Manor, Law House and Twin Palms apartments.
The amount of damage, if am for each resident will be assessed at the end of the sprint semester, Rice said, and de ducted accordingly. The refund will then be made to the apart ment dwellers.
Strategic Services (OSS) and the British Secret Service.
Both of those organizations, however, used different tactics than what is known as the American approach to intelligence, Grege said.
