Weaknesses make recruiting a cinch, ex-KGB agent says
By Jim Logan
Editor
Human weaknesses — not sympathy with communism — are the best recruiting tools for the KGB, a former agent said.
Stanislav Levchenko, the highest-ranking KGB officer to defect to the United States, told an overflow crowd at Hancock Auditorium Thursday night that greed, egotism and the need for
a challenge make it easy for the Soviet secret police to recruit foreigners for espionage.
"I don't want to upset you," Levchenko said, "but I have to. The thing is, far more people are recruitable than you think."
Levchenko, who currently works in a conservative Washington, D.C., think tank, said the KGB's No. 1 recruiting tool is greed.

Glasnost is ‘publicity former spy tells class

Former KGB agent Stanislav Levchenko emphasized the present realities in the Soviet Union in light of glasnost during an informal talk with political science students Thursday morning.
Levchenko spoke to political science Professor Joseph Nyomar-kay's Soviet foreign policy class in Von KleinSmid Center.
"There are all kinds of misconceptions (about glasnost)," Levchenko said, offering a second definition — publicity — for the more popularized term of "openness" that has been used to describe General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev's plan for social and

Participants stopped by police
CIA recruitment protest kept out of career center

Although students who protested CIA recruitment were barred entry to the Career Development Center in University Village Tuesday, a UV official said they were offered a peaceful place to rally outside of the center.
Gail Goldstein, general manager of UV, said she met with Brian Sumerwell, a member of Students for Peace and Justice, the group that led the rally, on Monday and "offered him the right to be here adjacent to the Career Development Center."
Goldstein said Sumerwell met with her Monday to determine UV's policy regarding public protests on its property. She told him that even though UV is private property, it has, by law, a public responsibility not to abridge freedom of speech.
"I told him he could have been on the balcony, right next to the career center if he wanted, as long as he didn't impede traffic (going into the center)," she said.
Sumerwell confirmed that he had met with Goldstein and said she gave him a list of UV guidelines which the protesters had to follow.
"She told me that we were not to disturb the process," he said. "Our goal was to hand-present a list of demands to the CIA and then leave.
"We're not violent, we were not trying to do any physical violence to people. The whole point of our protest was to say no more CIA on campus," he said.
"If he wanted some type of conflict, that's what he got," Goldstein said. "He didn't go by the rules."
On Tuesday morning, the group of nearly 50 chanting protesters attempted to enter the center but were stopped short by Los Angeles Police Department officers and University Village Security.
Goldstein said that Sumerwell had told her he would get back to her by 5 p.m. if he was planning to protest at UV. When he never got back to her Monday, she "assumed he had made other arrangements," she said.
"We weren't trying to deny him the right to protest," Goldstein said. "We only wanted it to be controlled."
Sharyn Slavin, director of the Career Development Center, said her office respected the rights of the protesters, but also had to protect the rights of the students and the CIA to conduct interviews without being interfered with.
"If (the protesters) came in the center, it would interfere," she said. "It looked to me as if they were going to try to get inside."
Slavin said she did not know that the LAPD would be there.
"Part of the jurisdiction problem was once students were inside the Career Development Center, then it's University Security's problem," Slavin said, adding that when students are outside the center in UV, they are under the jurisdiction of UV security.

mary diseases in human beings, you know," he said. "Money, of course, is the great motivating factor for people to sell out (the) national secrets of their country."
Although espionage doesn't pay well — former Navy man John Walker made only about $350,00 in his 18 years of espionage for the Soviets — "people are much cheaper than you think," Levchenko said.
The former operative, who re- • cruited dozens of people during his years in Japan in the 1970s, told of one Japanese journalist he enlisted because the man's wife wanted "pocket change."
Because KGB agents are masters of "human intelligence" — discovering and exploiting weaknesses — egotism and a love of danger can all be used to coerce and manipulate potential recruits.
Walker, who Levchenko called an egomaniac who approached the KGB to sell it Navy secrets, was a perfect example. Although he knew his ex-wife was aware of his activities for six years before turning him in, he (Continual on page 6)

Activities, who advises Trov Camp.
"The students raise funds on their own," he said. 'They volunteer not only time during the year . . . but also make sacrifices during their summers."
Crandall said he was prompted to become adviser to Troy Camp because of the good work and good feeling he saw in the Trov Camp group, which "works for the children
