ThesMichigan Daily-Wednesday, August 5, 1981-Page 5 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.
