DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- In what may be the first subpoena 
of its kind in decades, a federal judge has ordered a university 
to turn over records about a gathering of anti-war activists.

(...)

Mark Smith, a lobbyist for the Washington-based American 
Association of University Professors, said he had not heard 
of any similar case of a U.S. university being subpoenaed for 
such records.

He said the case brings back fears of the "red squads" of the 
1950s and campus clampdowns on Vietnam War protesters.

According to a copy obtained by The Associated Press, the 
Drake subpoena asks for records of the request for a meeting 
room, "all documents indicating the purpose and intended 
participants in the meeting, and all documents or recordings 
which would identify persons that actually attended the meeting."
