WILL DISCUSS MIDEAST CRISIS WITH REAGAN
Sadat to come to U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP)-President
Anwar Sadat of Egypt, ready to open
his first talks with Ronald Reagan, is
bearing a proposal that the new
American president would rather not
hear-that the United States offer the
Palestinians a direct role in the quest
for a Mideast peace.
Sadat was scheduled to arrive last
night for a five-day visit.
BEFORE LEAVING London on his
flight to Washington, Sadat said he will
urge President Reagan to recognize a
role for the Palestinians, including the
Palestine Liberation Organization, in
the Middle East peace process. Reagan
was almost sure to reject that recom-
mendation.
"I think it is time that the United
States drops the condition of not contac-
ting the Palestinians," Sadat said at a
news conference.
But White House spokesman David
Gergen said "the United States has not
changed its position with regard to the
PLO."
SADAT WILL meet Reagan for the
first time following an official White
House welcoming ceremony today.
Beside getting to know one another, a
major purpose for both men is to ex-
plore ways of resuming the stalled
discussions between Israel and Egypt
on autonomy for the 1.2 million
Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied
West Bank and Gaza Strip. This is the
major unfinished business from the
1978 Camp David accords.
U.S. officials have said they will
welcome Sadat's views on how to
resume the talks. But his suggestion for
involving the PLO is certain to be
received coolly by Reagan, who has
said he considers, it a terrorist
organization.
THE U.S. POSITION on the PLO, as
spelled out in a June 1 press memoran-
dum, is: "The United States will not
recognize or negotiate with the PLO so
long as the PLO does not recognize
Israel's right to exist and does not ac-
cept" United Nations resolutions
calling for secure and recognized boun-
daries for Israel.
Gov't aid, job
guarantees
boost ROTC
popularity
aIt MSU
EAST LANSING (UPI)-Army ROTC-scorned by
students during the activist 60s-is winning new
popularity on the Michigan State University campus
thanks to the lure of government aid, a guaranteed
job, and foreign travel opportunities.
The program, designed to develop trained and
educated officers for the Army, is expected to enroll
130 students this fall-up from the 111, including 23
women, who participated last year.
ENROLLMENT HAS increased steadily since 1978
when only 77 students signed up and the growth is ex-
pected to continue for the foreseeable future, accor-
ding to Capt. Richard Leeds, an MSU associate
professor of military science.
"College ROTC students are guaranteed jobs as
commissioned officers after graduation," Leeds said.
"Salaries are now generally at a competitive level
with civilian pay."
The governor also offers scholarships to ROTC
students-a plus in these days of skyrocketing
tuition-and overseas assignments are a definite
possibility after graduation, Leeds said.
"NOW THAT THE draft has been replaced by the
volunteer Army, students don't have to worry about
military service anymore, so they're leaving us
alone,'' he said.
The first two years of the program concentrate on
the history of the Army and practical skills such as
marksmanship, while the last two focus on leadership
and management. Six weeks of direct military ex-
perience at Fort Lewis, Wash., are offered between
the junior and senior year.
MSU provides a secretary, office space and sup-
plies but the rest of the program is Army funded.
