Activist seeks FBI reforms
utive order giving new FBI guidelines,
FBI activity has resembled former
Bureau Chief J. Edgar Hoover's
operation, when the bureau had more
than 100,000 people under surveil
lance under the guise of national
security, he said.
"National security is it, Wilkinson
said. "And (people's constitutional)
rights are nothing next to it.
For example, a now-classified
executive order allows the FBI to
identify politically undesirable Arab
and Iranian college students and
deport them to their home countries
although they have not broken the
law, he said. Of 140,000 foreign
students last year, more than 3,500
students were found undesirable,
Wilkinson said.
"From the beginning of Reagan's
administration, he has kept (from the
American public) what he doesnt
want us to (know about)," Wilkinson
said.

The United States is moving
toward a closed government in which
national security overrides the con
stitutional rights of its citizens, Frank
Wilkinson, founder of the National
Committee Against Repressive Leg
islation, told about 25 people in
Manning Hall Wednesday.
Wilkinson, 74, whose visit to UNC
was sponsored by the Carolina
Committee on Central America,
spoke about U.S. involvement in
Central America. He is traveling
across the country to gather support
for his petition for FBI reforms.
Wilkinson served as NCARLs
national director from 1960 to 1980
and now does volunteer work. The
committee is dedicated to preserving
civil rights.
Wilkinson was banned from the
UNC campus 25 years ago because
he served one year in prison for
refusing to discuss political affilia
tions with , members of the House
Committee on Un-American Activ
ities in 1958. He said the federal
government has become more secre
tive under the Reagan
administration.
Since Reagan issued a 1981 exec-

The Reagan administration has
cited old laws to deny visas to certain
foreigners . who wish to enter the
country and has banned Canadian
films about acid rain both on the
grounds that they could threaten
national security, he said.
"We need to be mindful of these
things when we think about what
Reagan is doing now," he said. "I'm
only reflecting on (Hoover's tenure
as FBI chief) to show what is begin
ning to happen in Central America."
He said the Reagan administration
allowed the deportation of El Salva
dorans from the United States in an
effort to establish favorable relations
with the Salvadoran National Guard.
He said he would not speculate about
the fate of the deported El Salva-'
dorans. The National Guard has been
linked to the Salvadoran Death
Squad, which is responsible for
killing several Americans and polit
ically dissident El Salvadorans.
Wilkinson said he discovered
through a 1975 Senate report that the
FBI had trailed him for 45 years at
an estimated cost of $17 million.
Law professor decries Supreme Court nomination

Judge Robert Bork's stand on
racial issues proves that his nomina
tion to the U.S. Supreme Court
would be a calamity, a UNC law
professor told a group of students at
a Young Democrats meeting Tuesday
night.
Daniel Pollitt, a Graham Kenan
professor of law, not only expressed
his opposition to Bork's nomination
before the Young Democrats but also
sent 15 of his students to Washington,
D.C to present Sen. Terry Sanford,
D-N.C, with two notebooks contain
ing information on why Bork should
not be a Supreme Court justice.
ttHe has said repeatedly that no one
can change the court's decisions but
the court itself," Pollitt said.
Bork's appointment could be
enough to reverse some of the
decisions that allowed minorities
equal rights and women the right to
free choice, Pollitt said.
Since the court's decisions to
legalize abortion and to force dese
gregation were both passed. by one
concurring vote, Bork could have the
power to reverse such decisions, he
said.
"We could be back to the back
alley abortions," Pollitt said.
Bork also testified against the bill
that outlawed segregation in public
places and spoke out against the bill
which mandated busing to desegre
gate black and white schools, Pollitt
said.
Students in Pollitt's civil rights
seminar traveled to Washington last
Tuesday, Sept. 15, to present Sanford
with a notebook containing papers
the students had prepared on Bork's
positions on various issues, including
abortion and birth control.
They also presented the senator
with a second notebook consisting of
writings and interviews by Bork and
position statements made against him
by such groups as People for the
American Way and the American
Civil Liberties Union.
After presenting the notebooks to
Sanford, the students answered his
questions for about an hour. Some
students remained in Washington to
attend the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee hearings.
A press secretary for Sanford said
last week that the senator was still
undecided on whether to support or
oppose the nomination.
In wake of plagiarism scandal,
Biden drops out of campaign
From Associated Press reports
WASHINGTON Sen.
Joseph Biden ended his quest for
the 1988 Democratic presidential
nomination "with incredible reluc
tance on Wednesday, saying the
"exaggerated shadow" of mistakes
made it impossible to continue his
candidacy.
Biden withdrew from the cam
paign after a week in which his
campaign was rocked by admis
sions of plagiarism and false
claims about his academic record.
"I made some mistakes," Biden
told a room crowded with repor
ters. "Now the exaggerated
shadow of those mistakes has
begun to obscure the essence of
my candidacy and the essence of
Joe Biden."
Biden did not rule out a future
run for the White House.
U.S. ships search for mines
MANAMA, Bahrain Amer
ican warships swept a strip of the
central Persian Gulf on Wednes
day to recover mines believed
planted by the Iranian ship that
U.S. helicopters attacked this
week.
Commercial ships were warned
away from the waters about 50
miles northeast of Bahrain, and
there were reports that some mines
had been found.
Five Iranians were reported
killed and 26 were captured in the
News in Brief
helicopter raid on the Iranian
vessel Monday night. It was the
first direct American attack on
Iranians in the two months since
the United States began protecting
shipping in the gulf.
Iran has vowed revenge for the
American attack, and the Iranian
president said in New York that
the two nations were moving
toward war.
Britain announced it was clos
ing Iran's military procurement
office in London and urged a
United Nations arms embargo
because of Iranian attacks on
Persian Gulf shipping.
House approves contra aid bill
WASHINGTON The House
on Wednesday approved $3.5
million in new "humanitarian" aid
to the Nicaraguan contras, and
House Speaker Jim Wright said
he expects it to be the last U.S.
aid ever sent to the rebels.
The money was part of a stop
gap spending bill to keep the
government running after the
current fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
The measure, approved 270-138
after little debate, was sent to the
Senate, where it is not expected
to encounter major opposition.
