ENVIRONMENTAL ESCAPE - Larrabee State Park offers a scenie retreat from the usual hectic city life. %% TUESDAY, APRIL 29,1975 vol. 67 No. 40 Ten cents Rosenberg's son assails secrecy GREG COHEN The ghosts of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg continue to haunt the conscience of the U.S. government 27 years after their execution. "The government conspired to wrap the entire case in secrecy just as it did to the Ellsberg case and Watergate and the Vietnam War," Michael Meeropol, Rosenberg's eldest son said here Thursday. Meeropol spoke on behalf of the National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case, which is exploiting the legal, legislative and political means for making public all files relating to the case. Meeropol, 32, now a New England College professor, and his brother, Robert, 28, were children when their parents became the focal point of an international controversy. The boys were adopted by the Meeropols after their parents were executed for alledgedly giving U.S. atom bomb secrets to the Russians. "Why does government need secrecy if we really are a democracy?" Meeropol asked. "We don't need a secret police force." Meeropol charged that the trial judge, the government prosecutors and witnesses for the prosecution lied and "conspired criminally to frame my parents." "The political issues which surrounded my parent's case 27 years ago relate politically today," Meeropol asserted. "The government is not § interested in catching people (in political cases) but ~2 getting convictions." ^ He used the recent government cases against j ^ anti war activists and SLA members as examples of political cases where the prosecution used conspiracy as a charge. "In an ena of detente you don't frame spies, but blacks, the poor or native Americans," Meeropol said. "That today are the Rosenbergs." MICHAEL MEEROPOL - Describes his battle with the government in which his parents, the Rosenbergs, were executed 27 years ago. Meeropol was on campus last Thursday. '%^>^%. latest in announcements " \ Grads must fill the blanks The newest thing in graduation announcements, more appropriately termed as graduation un-announcements, has arrived at Western. According to George Elliott, Student Co-Op Bookstore manager, this year's graduation announcements do everything but tell the time and give a date of this year's commencement exercises. It is then up to the students to insert the proper information in the blanks provided. The purpose of this system, in addition to lowering the cost per announcement, eliminates the problem of surplus un-announcements. Whatever isn't used this year can always be used in the • future, Elliott said. Athletes dismissed over beer and car mishap RICKDONKER Four members of Western's track team have been dismissed after an incident that involved alcohol and the use of a coach's car following a track meet held at Central Washington State College. The members, Greg Wirtz, Doug Minkler, Bruce Phillips and Greg Phillips, had stopped off in Ellensburg following the meet and decided to buy some beer for the ride home, according to one source who wishes to remain unnamed. They drank the beer in the coach's car, leaving the empties in the car when they reached Bellingham. The four team members were driving coach Ralph Vernacchia's car. When Vernacchia found the beer in the car he felt that he had to dismiss the runners for the remainder of the track year. "There was nothing I could do, my back was up against the wall. There was just no way I could condone such an action," Vernacchia said. The coach expressed some regret over the action that he felt he "had to take." The members who have been dismissed will not be able to participate in any other meets this year. However, this will not prevent them from performing in any other athletic event next year.
