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 disruptions would come from people who wanted to make killing, Fleming claimed protesters have a one- a care r of the military. sided view of the situation.

Program Information Dial NO 2-6264 STARTS TOMORROW 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. KICK-OUT IFC-PAN HEL PRESENTS DA CEV f0I ADII laws to combat drug9use '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.
