-lack coalition will obstruct minority recruitment By CAROLYN SORISIO Collegian Staff Writer A newly-formed coalition of University black student organizations announced last night that it will obstruct minority recruit ment efforts at Penn State in response to the University Board of Trustees' recent decision not to divest. This decision comes at a time when the University is mandated by a district court order to increase minority enrollment to 5 percent by 1987. Currently minority enroll ment here is 3.7 percent. The Black Student Coalition Against Rac ism said it will attempt to disassociate the black community from the administration. BSCAR comprised of 13 black student organizations says the administration's decision not to divest reflects a lack of genu ine concern for black students at the Univer sity. The coalition plans to refuse to participate Reagan's speech focus on themes goals, not specifics By MICHAEL PUTZEL AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. President Reagan's fifth State of the Union address, tailored for tonight's tele vision audience, will be shorter and more visionary than his previous four, White House officials say. But it will launch three days of hard-sell by a president who will flesh out the details of his agenda in a variety of appearances around Wash ington later in the week. The speech, to a joint session of the House and Senate, will be broadcast live by the major radio and television networks beginning at 9 p.m. EST. Because it is aimed more at the television audience than the officials who will hear him in person, Reagan will keep it short and simple, said a source who asked not to be identified by name. (It is an effort) 'to redefine the role of the government for the next decade and into the next century.' —a Reagan aide, commenting on tonight's State of the Union address As drafted, the speech takes about 20 minutes to read and officials are allowing an additional 10 minutes for applause, hoping it will take only about a half-hour from the evening's prime-time television schedule. Reagan, who came to Washington five years ago committed to shrink ing the size and reach of the federal government, is expected to renew that struggle, arguing that people are better off making their own financial decisions than paying taxes to a gov ernment that decides what to do with their money. It is, one aide said privately, an effort "to redefine the role of the government for the next decade and into the next century."

Also, the coalition will appeal to national groups, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Rainbow Coalition, for financial support in their educational drives to inform students about apartheid. University President Bryce Jordan de-, clined to comment about the resolution'until he sees a copy of the resolution. BSCAR Chairman Carlton Waterhouse, president of the National Society of Black Engineers, said the resolution will be sub mitted to the administration "in the near future." Obie Snider, president of the Board of Trustees, said that although he could not comment on the resolution without a better understanding of the groups involved, re cruitment could be affected and that is some thing that the board would have to consider. Speakes said the speech will "deal more with themes and ideas and goals of the president . . . than the specifics and nitty-gritty of the legis lative process." Speakes and other White House aides have referred to the talk on several occasions as "visionary" in tone. The president will send a more detailed written message to Capitol Hill tomorrow setting out his specific goals for this session of Congress. And he is scheduled to make a tour of federal agencies to promote key el ements of his program. Speakes said Reagan would set out tomorrow afternoon to explain his plans and expectations to federal employees at the Treasury Depart ment and Department of Health and Human Services and would visit a high school in Fairfax County, Va., just outside Washington on Thursday. On Friday, it's back to the Capitol for a speech to House Republicans. In a departure from recent custom, Reagan will unveil his own budget proposal Feb. 4 in a speech at the Government Printing Office, where top officials of his administration then will brief reporters. Speakes said Reagan will be the first president to visit the printing office since Abraham Lincoln ded icated the building in 1861. In the past, Reagan signed the budget pro posal at the White House but left the explaining to his budget chief and key Cabinet officers. Next week, Reagan submits his first budget within the constraints of the Gramm-Rudman legislation that requires the Congress and the admin istration to balance the federal bud get by 1991. But the source, who asked not to be identified, said the president would not take "a gloom and doom ap proach" telling people they should expect to sacrifice the benefits of federal programs at a time of severe budget cutting. Contending that "80 percent of the argument is how you frame the de bate," the official said Reagan will argue that the government must cut spending or raise taxes and that he would rather let people keep their money and decide for themselves how much they wish to spend on their children's education, their housing and other needs. olle • lan will and 'Reagan mad with power,' Khadafy says By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH Associated Press Writer TRIPOLI, Libya Col. Moammar Khadafy, wearing a green jumpsuit over a bullet-proof vest, drew cheers at an anti-American rally yesterday, denouncing the American president as "that filthy Reagan, maddened with power and nuclear weapons." Addressing a capacity crowd of 3,- 000 Libyans and East Europeans in Tripoli's People's Hall, Khadafy said the United States is "trying to take away our freedom as they tried in Vietnam, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Nicaragua." Khadafy, with the hard lines of a bullet-proof vest clearly visible under the jumpsuit, claimed the Reagan 12 European nations halt arms sales to countries supporting terrorism By ROBERT BURNS Associated Press Writer BRUSSELS, Belgium The 12 European Common Market nations agreed yesterday to halt arms sales to countries "clearly implicated" in supporting terrorism, in a formal declaration aimed at Libya. The ministers did not specify which countries would be affected by the ban, but Dutch Foreign Minister Hans van den Broek told reporters that all Common Market nations planned to halt arms sales to Libya. British representative Linda Chalk er said, "There is no doubt at all that it was Libya that this text refers to." She added the reason no countries were named was because it would have let those who weren't identified, but are suspected of supporting ter rorists, feel they are off the hook. The key European arms producers Britain, France, Italy, West Ger- page 11 "(The board) has taken a hard line against apartheid and the opinion, which was unani mous, of the Board of Trustees . . . is that we're not convinced that divestment is the answer to the problem in South Africa." Marlon Kirton, Black Student Union Presi dent, said the decision not to divest "was the last straw that caused people to unite." Cynthia King, Black Caucus adviser, said she could not fully react to the proposal without reading it. But King added that the proposal was a step in the right direction for the black students on campus. "One thing is that it is good to see black students as a united front that is the positive thing," she said. James B. Stewart, adviser to the Commit tee for Justice in South Africa, said students "see some contradiction in the University's active efforts in recruiting minority students and not taking a stronger opposition on apart heid in South Africa." In regard to freshmen orientation, Stewart He drew wild applause when he declared, "All people in all countries are supporting Libya against the im perialists. The Libyan people are stronger than the Sixth Fleet." Units of the U.S. Sixth Fleet, led by the aircraft carriers Coral Sea and Saratoga, began conducting maneu vers last week in the Mediterranean off the Libyan coast. Only a few Western Europeans and Americans were seen at the rally. Several Americans refused to give their names to a reporter and said they came "out of curiosity." One oil field worker who said he was from California was asked if he would leave Libya by Feb. 1, as ordered by many and the Netherlands already have policies against such sales. Bel gium has no formal embargo but has sold no arms to Libya for four years. The declaration expressed "strong concern" at the tension that has de veloped in the Mediterranean since President Reagan sent the U.S. 6th Fleet on maneuvers off Libya's coast. On Jan. 7, Reagan announced the United States was severing all eco nomic ties to Libya and he ordered 1,- 500 Americans there to return home. Reagan appealed to Western Eu rope to join him in imposing econom ic penalties against the regime of Libya's leader, Col. Moammar Kha dafy.

Khadafy has denied any involve ment in the attacks. administration was plotting to assas sinate him. Although the Common Market did said that potential "black students look close ly at how black students here view the Uni versity . . . I think that's the only real bargaining chip the students have." Allen Spearman, president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, said the decision to actively oppose recruitment was the strongest part of the resolution. "This will hit the University where it will matter in the pocket," Spearman said. Waterhouse said that this is "just the tip of the iceberg" in regards to action for divest ment. He added that "as long as (the University) has a policy that supports racism, we won't give them support." BSCAR is also considering building a shan tytown outside of Old Main and holding an educational evening Feb. 7 about black is sues. Katrina Scott, president of the Committee for Justice in South Africa and member of BSCAR, said that although she wants the Reagan, and he replied, "It's illegal to stay, isn't it?" Two British engineers, Brian Thorpe and Maurice Archer, from the town of Leatherhead, said they had been invited to a "debate" by the National Libyan Oil Company and had not known the nature of the meeting until they arrived. Foreign Minister Ali Abdussalam Treiki earlier told a news conference in Tripoli that Khadafy's government wants a direct dialogue with the Unit ed States to resolve the crisis. He said Libya has invited the Rea gan administration to meet with Kha dafy's representatives to discuss their differences and prevent an "es calation" of the situation, but he did not say so, the European allies have said they doubt economic sanctions can deter Libya or other countries from supporting terrorism. The Eu ropeans also are concerned about protecting their lucrative commer cial links to Libya, but most of them have said they will not let their busi nessmen take the place of American firms that have been ordered out of the North African country. The foreign ministers' declaration said that in addition to an arms embargo, the 'Common Market na tions would tighten security at air ports, railway stations and ports, improve passport and visa control, and lessen the abuse of diplomatic immunity. Van den Broek acknowledged that, aside from the arms embargo, the measures were "nothing new." But he said the Common Market had succeeded in sending a strong politi cal signal on terrorism.

"We believe in having black students here, but there are just some stands that we have to take to make it better in the long run," she said. Undergraduate Student Government Presi dent David Rosenblatt said "the issue of Penn State's sincerity toward minority stu dents has been questioned because of the divestment issue."

When asked about who had passed on the message to Washington, Treiki repied, "We have emphasized this to the United States directly." "We are in favor of dialogue with any country, including the United States," he said, but quickly cor rected himself to exclude Israel. Treiki also sent a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar asking that measures be tak en against U.S. "provocations" near the Libyan coast. The letter, said the U.S. Navy maneuvers were "merely a new link in the chain of American provocations and aggression" against Libya and constituted "state terrorism." In Washington, Deputy Secretary of State John C. Whitehead said Kha dafy "may be pretty crazy, but he's also crazy like a fox, and he will do what he needs to do to keep himself in power. If he sees his country's econ omy crumbling, his country's posi tion being isolated, he will then take action to change his conduct." White head recently made a tour of Ameri can allies seeking, with little success, support for the administration's eco nomic sanctions against Libya. The United States accuses Khadafy of supporting the Palestinian terrorists who killed 16 victims in Dec. 27 at tacks on the Rome and Vienna air ports. Khadafy frequently interrupted his fiery speech at the People's Hall to lead the crowd in anti-American chants, "Down, down, U.5.A.," and "Down, down, Reagan!" "I hereby announce that I am cre ating a new front of people from all over the world to fight imperialism, Zionism and racism," he said. He again denied any link with the airport attacks and said, "I challenge the United States to prove that those who carried them out started from Libya or were trained in Libya."
