Fleming
By DAVE CHUDWIN
Disruption of University classes and operations
--for more than a day-is intolerable. President
Fleming said yesterday during a noon discussion
at Guild House.
Speaking bafore a crowd of about 75, Fleming
hinted at his position in the ROTC controversy
-students should have the right to take ROTC
classes if they desire, without fear of harrass-
inent.
"I've said for two years we can't tolerate
force and coercion," Fleming said. "It's one
thing for people to disrupt for one day, it's ano-
ther to keep on doing it," referring to a one-
day take-over of the old Administration Bldg.
by black students in 1968. At that time no
action was taken against the protesters.
Fleming said he favored having compassion
towards people involved in such an emotion-
charged controversy. "You don't handle these
things by repressive actions," he said.
"However, I don't think one group, whether
denounces
majority or minority. can impose its views on
others," Fleming added.
While firm in his opposition to the disrup-
tions, Fleming avoided aking a stand on the
place of ROTC in the University. "After the
faculty has voted, I will state my views." he
explained, referring to the Senate Assembly's cur-
rent study of the University-ROTC relationship.
Fleming then went on to discuss some of the
arguments used by supporters and critics of
ROTC.
Fleming stressed the right of those wanting
to participate in ROTC to do so and the "liberal-
izing" effect of university-trained officers in the
army.
"When you argue about ROTC you have to ask
some basic questions," Fleming began. "The
first question is whether it's necesary to have
an army."
"If we assume thei'e will be an army, then
we will have to staff it," Fleming said. "We could
staff it through the military academies and of-
ficer training schools. Then the entire cadre

TILE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES passed a measure
yesterday which would raise by up to 3 per cent annually the
interest banks may receive under the government-guaranteed
student loan program.
The bill, which still must clear the Senate, was made necessary
last spring when the prime interest rate went to 82 per cent and
many banks stopped making student loans at the 7 per cent annual
interest rate precently fixed by law.
Under the present law, the government pays all interest on
these student loans as long as the student is in school and has an
adjusted family income of under $15,000. After graduation, the
student assumes all interest payments.
THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM will not end with the enact-
ment of the President's proposed income-maintenance welfare
system, two Cabinet secretaries said yesterday.
But, said Agriculture Secretary Clifford Hardin and HEW
Secretary Robert Finch, the program will be transferred from the
Agriculture Department to the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare if the administration welfare proposals are enacted by
Congress.
THE COMMON MARKET will hold a summit meeting in
November on the entry of Great Britain and other candidates,
it was announced yesterday.
The meeting will take place in The Hague. November 17-18.
Besides Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden wish
to be considered for Common Market membership.
Observers report that the prospects of Britain's joining the
Common Market have been considerably improved because of the
resignation of French President DeGualle five months ago. DeGualle
'vetoed British entry twice in five years.
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE MELVIN LAIRD released guide-
lines yesterday for dealing with political protest within the mili-
tary.
The guidelines reflect the Defense Department's increasing con-
cern with GI-published protest newspapers, radically-oriented GI
coffee houses and GI involvment in protest demonstrations.
"The service member's right of expression should be preserved
to the maximum extent possible, consistent with good order and
discipline and the national security," said Laird in a new police
directive.
"On the other hand," the directive continues, "no commander
should be indifferent to conduct which, if allowed to proceed un-
checked, would destroy the effectiveness of his unit."
SOME 4,000 DEMONSTRATORS marched peacefully through
downtown Pittsburgh yesterday, demanding more jobs for blacks
in craft unions there.
The Black Construction Coalition which organized the march.
has been negotiating with the Master Builders Association and the
Building Trades Council since Labor Day, when ten construction sites
were closed by demonstrations. The talks, aimed at getting more
blacks into the construction industry, have not satisfied the march
leaders. w
Blacks comprise 23% of Pittsburgh's population. but they con-
stitute less than one per cent of the membership in the city's skilled
craft unions.
THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION came out in opposition
yesterday to a House bill which would establish criminal penalties
for those attempting to supply NLF forces and disrupt American
military activities.
The proposed legislation. said Administration officials. is unnec-
essary since laws already exist against the effective aiding of enemies,
as well as disruption of U.S. troop and supply movements.
The officials told a House subcommittee on internal security that
efforts by war protestors along these lines have so far had no meas-
urable impact on troop morale or effectiveness.
The proposed bill, authored by Rep. Charles Bennett (D-Fla.)
would set a maximum $20,000 fine and 20 year jail term for furnish-
ing money or supplies to a combat enemy, and a maximum $10,000
fine and five year jail term for interfering with movement of Ameri-
can troops or supplies.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT announced yesterday that it
will extend existing restrictions on travel by Americans to China,
Cuba, North Korea and North Vietnam for another six months.
The State Department action did not countermand the loosening
of American restrictions on travel to China which was announced in
July. The Department will validate the passports of journalists, sch-
olars, and certain other categories of travellers.

'No knock'
tr entry asked
-WASHINGTON (, - Attorney
General John Mitchell set n e w
legislative goals yesterday in the
administration's battle to dry up
the 'sources of drugs it claims are
threatening to corrupt vast num-
bers of the nation's youth.
Mitchell's request for new and
tough erlegal weapons followed
closely the Justice Department an-
nouncement that large-scale mea-
sures are being taken to halt the
flow of drtgs--especially marl-
juana-across the U.S.-Mexican
border.
In testimony before a Senate
juvenile delinquency subcommit-
tee, Mitchell and senators present
appeared to agree a triple stand-
ard of legal penalties is needed
to match punishment to crime.
The proposed law would differ-
entiate between the professional
criminal at the top of the drug-
distribution pyramid, the d r u g
addict, and the increasing thous-
ands of casual, youthful experi-
nmenters in drugs.
It would set also some kind of
first-offender provision which -
soiated Press for casual drug users - would
eliminate the long mandatory jail
terms now in force for the us of
such non-addictive drugs as mari-
failure of the juana.
But it would stiffen other sec-
tions of existing law, tighten regu-
lations on the manufacture and
distribution of drugs, and, at least
in one instance, create a new
police weapon - the no-knock
in011r narcotics raid.
Mitchell gave this explanation
of the no-knock raid which would,

WASHINGTON - President
Nixon has ordered a second pull-

Nguyen Cao Ky. They went un-

decision.
Ziegler said Nixon actually had'
made up his mind late last week,
prior to the Friday session.
Exact figures were held up un-
til today while the allies who also
have forces in Vietnam were con-'
stilted and informed. Ziegler said
this process was being coml>leted
