to Targum occurred during the
first week of classes. The in
dividual contacted, who declined
to be identified publicly, ap-_
proached a reporter one day, min
utes after receiving a_message
where he lived that Chief Borden
had called while he v/as out.
The student returned the call
to Chief Borden, and reported
afterward that they had set up
a specific place and time for a
meeting betvjeen himself ahd tw’o
agents of the Newark office of
the FBI. Bofden had told him
that he wanted the two parties
to meet at Campus Patrol head-
^ uaters on Bartlett Steet the
next day at noon so that he could
"deal with them directly." The
student also rerorted that when
he asked Borden why the FBI wanted
to see him in particular, Borden
replied, "Fe v/ere talking the
other day and your name Came
as a reliable person."
The next day, the person
showed up at CP headquarters
at the appointed hour, but
iv’as told after waiting a half
hour that the FBI agents v»/ere
unable to be there.
That afternoon, Chief Borden
was called to discuss the matter
further. The call was placed
from the Targum office, and a
reporter listened to the con
versation on another line, viith
the person’s permission.
Borden apologi^-ed for the FBI
men, saying, "They make their
ovm schedules." He then asked
the student v^here he could be
reached the next day. He said
he \ ould make sure the FBI men
would contact him then.
Borden also said, referring
to a previous conversation with
the person, that he \jas still
checking with his "real estate
friends" about an apartment:
The two had discussed earler the
fact that the person would soon
be needing a place to live and was
having difficulty finding an
aparmtment. According to this
individual, Borden had agreed to
help in the search.
The person also asked Borden
v.'hat he thought the FBI agents
wanted from him. Borden again
said, "I’ll let you deal directly
Vvith them"
At the second appointed time,-
the student a'waited the FBIfs
phone call, but instead, the
agents arrived at his apartment
in person. With a Targum re
porter listening from another
room, the two atents and the in
dividual involved discussed for
the first time the nature of the
relationship the agents wanted
established.
The t\'io agents, one dressed
in a gold blazer and a pin
striped shirt and the other in a
gray flannel suit, asked the
student a series of questions
concerning a wide area of campus
life.
They asked for information
on campus narcotics traffics,
on Yippie activites planned for
the fall, and on the bombing of
the Police Science Institute
at the Kilmer campus this spring.
He was alsoasked if he knew "22",
a Black Panther w-ho frequented
the campus during the spring!
He denied specific knovv'ledge of
any of them, '
Then the agents named fifteen
suudents about Vvhom they wanted
information. The list included
many students involved in Yippie
activities and in campus politics.
Again he was noncommital about
all of the students mentioned.
The person then asked how^ he
would profit by giving them in
formation. The agents told him
they v.'Ould pay according to the
amount and value of w.hat he told
them. They also said that the
relationship could end at any time,
"You can pull out any time."
The aaents also mentioned that
