     ulation as dishonest intell-_ 
     
     ectuals who will spend their 
     
     lives confusing these basic' 
     
     facts of life and rending 
     
     it impossible to understand 
     
     an thing, to believe in any- 
     
     thing and to encomplish any- 
     
     thing worthwhile in life -- 
     
     i.e. to have any contribu- 
     
     tion whatsoever to the cause 
     
     of humanity. If you have no 
     
     principles and become an ex- 
     
     pert at debaying points, then 
     
     you are a good instrument for 
     
     the imperialists who use the 
     
     Hitlerite logic that if you 
     
     repeat a lie often enough, 
     
     then the masses of people 
     
     will believe it. 
     
    

    
     Itis because in my exam I 
     
     refused to compromise on the 
     
     ‘question of principle and re- 
     
     fused to slander the People's 
     
    
   
   
    
     Republic of China tht the ’ 
     
    
   
   
    
     professor failed me. All the 
     
     other students in the class 
     
     should look into this matter 
     
     closely and resolutely opp- 
     
     ose this misuse of their 
     
     education. We have come to p 
     
     university to seek truth a 
     
     from facts to serve the peo- 
     
     ple. However, day after day 
     
     we are confronted with the 
     
     reality'of the imperialist 
     
     university in which we are 
     
     given the ultimatum -- eit- 
     
     her we prostitute ourselves 
     
     in the service of imperialism 
     
     and become thoroughly dis- 
     
     honest intellectuals . or 
     
     else we are all failed. When 
     
     I went to the professor after 
     
     I receivedgmy grade and asked 
     
     him why I got such a low gr; 
     
     ade (in my exam I thoroughly 
     
     denounced the question, ref- 
     
     used to slander People's 
     
     China and explained China's 
     
     socialist foreign policy — 
     
    

    
     I received 29 points out of 
     
     the 69x alloted points for 
     
     this question) he answered 
     
     that it was because I did net 
     
     answer Rifle QUGSCJJBIH 
     
    

    
     I asked him if this was the 
     
     case why I did not receive 
     
    

    
     a zero. He told me that he ' 
     
     never gives anyone beloe this 
     
     grade because then they 
     
     cannot catch up their grade 
     
     in subsequent examinations & 
     
     papers. This means that the 
     
     grade I and another student 
     
     received for refusing to an- 
     
     swer the question is in effect 
     
     a zero and that the act of 
     
     giving us 29 points is Just 
     
    

    
     a further trick for himself 
     
     'to get off the hook. When he 
     
     was confronted by the stu- 
     
     *dents in the d class as to 
     
     why he asked such a treacher- 
     
     .ous exam question, he replied 
     
     that he asked the question 
     
    

    
     in order that the students 
     
     not leave with 'a one-sided. 
     
     view of the People's Republic 
     
     of China". When it was ex- 
     
     posed that he always gave the 
     
     same anti-China View year in 
     
     and year out, he Simply re- 
     
     plied that he was the profes- 
     
     sor and has the right to do 
     
     this and that these are the, 
     
     rules. As more and more stu- 
     
     dents in the class came for- 
     
     ward to protest against the 
     
     examination question, then 
     
     professor flippantly answered 
     
    
   
   
    
     in; 
     
    
   
   
    
     THE CADRE, TUES., APRIL 9, 1971; Page 11 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     that he in fact aSKed the 
     
     question to provoke all this 
     
     great discussion that was 
     
     going on in the class as a 
     
     result of it and that he sho- 
     
     uld in fact be praised for 
     
     asking it. To which one stu- 
     
     dent replied that he had the 
     
    
   
   
    
     same logic as the imperialists 
     
    
   
   
    
     who presumably go into coun— 
     
     tries to plunder the people 
     
    
   
   
    
     in order to provoke the peeple 
     
    
   
   
    
     to rise up against them. The 
     
     fact that the students were 
     
     enraged over a question of 
     
     principle and that they will 
     
     not be used to slander what 
     
     is just and praise what is 
     
     unjust is irrelevant to the 
     
     professor. His view that he 
     
     asked the question solely to 
     
     provoke 'discussion' and r 
     
     'heated debate' shows the ex- 
     
     tent of his arrogance and dis- 
     
     regard for the interests of 
     
     the students. It shows his 
     
     determination to stick to his 
     
     view that to uphold principle 
     
     is both impossible and a sign 
     
     of weakness whereas 'heated 
     
     discussions are held for the 
     
     fun of it' and 'debates are 
     
     for intellectual eXercise' 
     
     but that no knowledge can be 
     
     sought to serve the people. 
     
    

    
     I strongly protest against 
     
     all attempts to make me a 
     
     dishonest intellectual. I 
     
     resolutely denounce the atte- 
     
     mpt to have me utter slanders 
     
     against the People's Repub- 
     
     lic of China for the purpose 
     
    
   
   
    
     of being used as an instrument

     I demand that this examinat- 
     
     ion be disqualified, that the 
     
     professor be made to publicly 
     
     apologize for attempting to 
     
     use the students as instrum- 
     
     ents to slander the People's

     professor desist from ever 
     
     engaging in this type of ac- 
     
     tivity again and that the Pol-

     set up a permanent committee 
     
     to advise the future activit—

     in particular, it be insisted 
     
     upon by the Political Science 
     
     Association that all his ex- 
     
     amination questions be super- 
     
     vised by the department of 
     
     political science and that on 
     
     no occasion should he be all- 
     
     owed to demand that the stu- 
     
     dents answer questions which 
     
     support imperialism and de- 
     
     nounce the socialist countries, 
     
     or rely on the use of the me-

     which are false and as such
