Copies available from Room 315, 407 S. Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois 60605. REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #10 These are transitional years and the dues will be heavy. Change is quick but revolution will take a while. America has not even begun as yet. This continent is seed. Diane di Prima LIBERATION MAGAZINE Edited by a collective from New York. This is the place to read Dave Dellinger's essays (he's on the staff) before they come out several years later in book form. They offer serious discussions of current political events as well as efforts to link these events to historical precedents. Available at the Iowa City Peace Office. Monthly, $7 per year. Write 339 Lafayette, New York, New York 10012 WIN Keeps track of non-violent political action around the country. A lively and undogmatic magazine which also carries articles of cultural interest. A good place to get new ideas for political action. Available at the Iowa City Peace Office. Bi-monthly, $5 per year. Write 339 Lafayette St., New York, New York 10012 COMMITTEE OF CONCERNED ASIAN SCHOLARS 2168 Shattuck Ave., Rm 216 Berkley, California 94704 and 1737 Cambridge St. Cambridge, Mass. A national political-scholarly organization composed mostly of students and faculty interested in Asia, and dedicated to a fundamental change in the concepts and purposes of current American scholarship in Asia. Speakers available. BULLETIN OF CCAS newsletter available for $6. This country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators and for the exploiters of labor. Helen Keller, 1911 God forbid we should ever be 20 years without a rebellion. Thomas Jefferson, 1787 THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND MILITARY RESEARCH Last year grants and contracts from the Department of Defense amounted to roughly $1.6 million. This current year the figures are comparable. These figures do not include more indirect relationships with the military such as grants from corporations who use research to serve the military-industrial complex. Nor do these figures take into account the leaves of absence of faculty members who use knowledge gained through work at the University to assist the military. Also not included is the money paid by the Defense Department to the University for the training of military personnel ($50,000 last year). The University's contract with the Rock Island Arsenal offers a classic example. Since 1967 the University has been selling computer services to the U.S. Weapon's Command at the Rock Island Arsenal. Last year that total had grown to $300,000, roughly 16.2% of the entire budget of the Computer Center. Tests conducted at the Arsenal for structural and accuracy problems of large guns result in a more thorough killing of Vietnamese people. One way or another This darkness got to give.
