The Scare We are looking for educated young people who possess such traits as aggressiveness to support America ' s goals, vigor to execute a given task, resourcefulness to conceive a new idea, reliability to execute that idea, curiosity to discover a better way, and boldness to present a new method. Furthermore, we are looking for people with integrity and purpose; people who can adapt to new situ- ations and grow with the changing times. —Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs To some, it was a joke. But many others were genuinely upset, it was more than just having narcs on cam- pus, although that really would be quite eno ugh. It was the distrust gen- erated by the mere hint of their ex- istence. It was the unpleasant but omnipresent necessity to glance over your shoulder, to speak in guarded tones and to consider the possibility of incriminating a friend with the careless answer to an innocent ques- tion. It was the invasion and degrada- tion of academic freedom. And, after a while, it became a game. Narc, narc. Who ' s there? and the merry hunt was on. An ASC commit- tee sought information and the regis- tration office searched its files. It was funny to kid around, claiming to be a narc, until people began to believe it and you got threatening phone calls. There was the atmosphere of an impending witchhunt, of tar and feathers and execution without trial. The most apathetic of Northwestern students was roused to violent decla- mations of the Narcotics Bureau. Then came the second thoughts. How could anybody afford to place sixty (the reported number of narcs on campuses in Illinois) agents any- where for anything over a prolonged period of time? Although one or a few narcs might exist in truth, the main intention of the Illinois Narcotic? Bureau was psychological in nature. Narcs were a rumor spread to inhibit the use of drugs by college students. If narcs were not such a serioui ' issue to so many people, the whole thing could be viewed as a bad joke: Nonetheless, the threat of under ' cover narcotics agents still exists. Tb paranoia they produce is still with u; and cannot be treated lightly. Craig Aronof
