By ROB BIER Some 130 students filled South Quad's West Lounge last night to hear President Robben Fleming discuss the LSA sit-in, the war moratorium, black enrollment and other topics in an informal "open forum." One issue that got plenty of play was the bookstore and the action at, as Fleming called it, "the LSA incident." When con- fronted with allegations of police brutality by students who had been arrested, President Fleming re- plied, "This isn't what I get from all the people I've talked to, in- cluding students who were there." On the matter of whether the police displayed excessive force with their show of rifles, he an- swered, "Sheriff Douglas Harvey can cone on campus without gain- ing my permission. It is within his jurisdiction. What he uses is also his decision and I have publicly disagreed with him on it. One of the hazards that students must face wvhen they're contemplating this type of action is that they're Residential College in cancelling all classes. Such a decision forces people to take action which they might not agree with," he said. Fleming took pains to explain the complicated problems conect- ed with military research and its relation to the military. "A great many kinds of basic research will have war implications as well as civilian ones," and he used the example of infra-red research to demonstrate his point. "As for classified research," he continued, "it is really a matter of definition. If a researcher has a certain security clearance, the project is classified even if his' work is in no way related to thatj All this must be taken into con- sideration before concluding any- thing about the nature of a par- ticular project." In all, it was a congenial hour and a half, which, if nothing else, gave President Fleming a chance to meet the students in the re- laxed manner which has become part of his style. In closing, he commented on the University's re- lation to the public. "This is an era in which the public is very hostile to the universities," he said. "It is nonsense for students to take the attitude that the pub- lic doesn't care how the University is run and it is equal nonsense for the public to think that the stu- By ERIKA HOFF Claiming "you can't get justice unless you can buy it with money," poet Allen Ginsberg will be reading his poetry in the Ann Arbor-De- troit area to raise money for the legal defense funds of the Ann Arbor Argus and White Panther, leader John Sinclair.

On the issue of increased black the University. The proposal re- enrollment at the University, Fleming was expansive. "We've probably got 1000 black students. That's not a large number. We should have more." The talk then moved into a discussion of money, a favoritecrallying point. In this case, the cost of special programs' for disadvantaged students was discussed. The recent stand of the Black Law Students Association in favor of more black students and fac- ulty in the school came up. Flem- ing responded, "I'm not familiar with this particular action, but the important thing for the professors is not their color. We want teach- e's who can do the best job. If five, or even 20 of them are black, fine." It was inevitable that the mora- torium should come up, and when it did, Fleming began by reciting Vice-President for Academic Af- fairs Allen Smith's letter concern- ing faculty prerogatives. He then defended it on the basis of allow- ing free speech. "I would have been opposed to the action of the iluugn tT agreea unaay cailed simria t picai ars leases the University from financ- to assess students to pay for any ment. }al liability, debts the store incurred, this sec- "It cost Spock $150,000 in legal SGC feared the store would not tion of the proposal was turned fees by the time he was through obtain as much credit on books down at yesterday's joint talks. even though he was found in- from publishers unless the pub- In order to supplement the ini- nocent."

In semi-documentary fashion, it portrays the integrity and courage of the miners as they strike for equality with Anglo-Americans. Simultaneously, it follows the struggle of the women for equality with the men in the context of the hardships of their lives. Among other awards, it won the International Grand Prize for Best Film Exhibited in France in 1955. Due to controver- sial court hearings it was temporarily blocked from com- mercial showings.
