Scope and Contents

Tapes and one transcript of KAYE radio station (Puyallup, Washington). This includes 6 tapes from 5/4-5/71, during which time they were concerned with UPS campus affairs, specifically the flag of the Viet Cong flying next to the US flag in a Student Center window; transcripts from 6/9/71 regarding tax status (also mentions that KAYE broadcast caused former supporters of UPS to withdraw support, presumably over broadcast about the Viet Cong flag) and containing accusations of communist leanings against an unnamed UPS professor; notes from the transcriber (possibly Jeanne Nelson) regarding the radio station trying to convince people to write UPS out of their wills and instead give the money to KAYE; annotated newspaper clippings about property tax exemption bills for college dormitories and blood banks; a letter from President Thompson from 5/17/71 thanking Jeanne Nelson for providing the tapes of the KAYE broadcast; a letter from Jeanne Nelson from 5/12/71 describing KAYE as a hate-mongering station attached to the first 2 and last 15 pages of the FCC's findings in re to KAYE's license renewal; and 4 tapes from 6/1-2/71.
