     In 1962 I worked at Washington State University.  It was the time of the
infamous John Goldmark trial, the first wahoo of the John Birch Society, and I
was being watched by the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade of Kellogg, Idaho, an
apparent progenitor of the Aryan Nation.  They had people recording my lectures
and playing them back.  I was a registered Republican, a member of the minis-
terium, and an associate of the notorious (but then academic) S. I. Hayakawa.
I was pushed out of WSU, denied tenure, and picked up by a man named Oliver,
ghost writer to Synghman Rhee and relative of Revilo Oliver of Illinois, the
guiding guru of Robert Welch. Since then, I lost my conservative cast, became a
union president. During the Viet Nam days, I was a "haven for the hopelessly
overhung," drug educator, radical organizer, organizer of light shows, and such
like stuff.  It hasn t been bad.  I am grateful whenever anyone watches college
professors, friendly or not. We are interesting people and hardly anyone pays
attention to us. We are the Rodney Daingerfield's of professional life.  I have
a grad student now from Liberty Baptist College.  I hope he reports me to Falwe
ll.  I have a grad student from Capetown.  I hope she reports me to Boethe.  I
want to be watched so send in my name.  Call gmp at psuvm
