Meanwhile, SHS membership was turning over at an alarming rate. Half the members left by midyear, Kyriazis said, further charging that many of them "used SHS as a stepping stone." Kyriazis also claims SHS floundered because the University wuld not grant them office space. Archie C. Epps, III, dean of students, in January assigned SHS a room in the Memorial Hall basement. Kyriazis marched into Rm 186 only to find it occupied by the Kuumba Singers. Epps said he thought Kuumba had moved a year ago. SHS is still on a list with 12 other new organizations looking for office...

By gaining some of the additional seats, moderates hoped to check Cuban militancy over the next three years, when Castro will serve a chairman of the nonaligned movement...
...Provisional I.R.A. has its roots in the trouble-torn days of August 1969, when British troops first began patrolling Ulster. It started as a small band of dissident Catholic militants, an offshoot of an amateurish, ill-equipped and disorganized I.R.A. whose tiny membership strove vainly to maintain the much-vaunted memories of Ireland's "war of independence" of 50 years before.
