Existence: May 1966
Existence: Majority of material found within May 1966

General Note: A collection of press clippings from May 3 to May 29, 1966, and two additional clippings from June and July, document the public's response to the publication of Ramparts magazine's recent article, "The University on the Make: How MSU helped arm Madame Nhu." The article was a 12-page illustrated release which, "...attacks the University's 7-year involvement in a technical assistance program in Viet Nam, from 1955-62." The collection of press clippings both attack and defend the claim by the Ramparts article that the Michigan State University Vietnam Advisory Group was a front for the Central Intelligence Agency to work in Vietnam.
