Page 10-Wednesday, June 11, 1980-The Michiga Venting of krypton gasfrom Ti~i OKd WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) voted unanimously yesterday to allow radioatice krypton gas to be vented from the damaged Three Mile Island reactor containment building. A senior staff official said the controlled venting could begin "by the end of the last week of June." CHAIRMAN JOHN AHEARNE slated a vote tomorrow on final guidelines of the order permitting controlled containment venting and another granting temporary changes in the reactor license so the proposed purge can be accomplished. The draft orders allow both quicker venting of the 57,000 curies of Krypton-85 and larger radiation ex- posures to persons near the reactor than were en- visioned in a lengthy briefing for the commissioners last week. The new concept is also a departure from the con- servative, slow venting recommendation made by the staff in its final environmental analysis issued late last month. That would have taken 60 days. Dr. Bernard Snyder, NRC Three Mile Island program director, conceded the new plan, which could disperse the krypton into the air in a month or less, took shape in private discussions during the two weeks since the environmental statement appeared. The new plan anticipates venting will begin slowly and speed up after the containment's krypto concen- tration is diluted in a couple of weeks. 0 Pentagon research up, but not at 'U' (Continued from Page 3) "the Mansfield Amendment is now considered passe."

University administrators are unable to give concrete reasons, why the University has not felt this resurgence as have its peer institutions, and only cite the University's "diversity" as a possible reason. "WE ARE MORE diversified than some of our peer institutions in both sponsors and programs," Cebulski said. "They (other universities) don't always have a choice of sponsors," Leach said. If, for instance, a university is verystrong only in engineering, he explained, it must rely on selected sponsors for most of its research, such as the Department of Defense. The University, Lesch said, is strong in many areas and has a larger selec- tion of sponsors, ranging from the National Science Foundation to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW is the University's largest sponsor and funds ap- proximately $35 million. ACCORDING TO spokespersons at the Defense Department, although research objectives are published, the department does not actively recruit researchers. "It could be that in- dividual researchers have not submit-. ted propossis to us," said Acting Direc- tor of Procurements for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research John Lin- ter. If few proposals from the Univer- sity are submitted, he said, few proposals can be accepted. Very little of the research conducted at the University is classified, and that which is, must first pass a screening committee.

The rules are contained in the University's Policy on Classified Research. They state the University - will not accept any project which would "destroy human life or . . in- capacitate human beings." A project must also involve graduate students, otherwise "it defeats the pur- pose of the University," Nowosielski said. This would include, according to the policy, a project "which limits open publication of results." Some faculty members say they feel although classified research is limited, the Pentagon should not sponsor any projects at the University. "The reason ( the Pentagon sponsors pure research) is to make them look more palatable," Mathematics Prof. Art Schwartz said. "It isn't their function to sponsor basic research (at universities) - they have other places to do that." Despite Schwartz's opposition to the research, Lesch said increases in the nation's defense budget cause him to expect the University's dealingswith Some pig the Pentagon will increase in upcoming years. gLassie, a pig trained to perform various tricks at the Brookfield, Illinois zoo, awaits her next command during a performance last week.

Common Market says. it Won't jeopardize PLO autonomy talks By the Associated Press Leaders of the European Common Market have ruled out any Mideast, move that might jeopardize U.S. efforts to untangle the issue of Palestinian autonomy, and sidestepped formal recognition of the PLO as the authentic representative of the Palestinians. A draft of a declaration for the heads of the nine member governments to consider at their meeting Thursday and Friday in Venice, Italy, was read to the Associated Press yesterday on condition that extracts not be quoted. THE GENERAL content of the declaration suggests the Europeans are ,-rknc -nnatho n i . * The dispatch of a special mission to the region to hear the views of all con- cerned parties, possibly but not definitely mentioning the Palestine Liberation Organization.

THE CONTROVERSIAL issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank of the Jordan River was discussed Thur- sday by Prime Minister Menachem Begin in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" program broadcast from Israel by satellite. Begin called the settlements in the occupied West Bank "a defense line against the terrorists who come to kill our people" and said Israel will, stop building them after 10 more are com- pleted. "The next batch of settlements will be the last settlements. This is the end of our settlement policy," Begin said. Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, chief of the settlement program, ex- plained that Israel had planned to raise the number of settlements to85 from the 25 that existed when Begin took of- fice three years ago. Responding to Begin's statement, State Department spokesman Thomas Reston said in Washington the United States opposes "unilateral steps on existing settlements or new settlements which might undercut" the Palestinian autonomy negotiations.
