Peaceful protests not in danger
(Continued from page 1)
Oct. 7 meeting of the Senate, according to David C. Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president.
The proposed strike to protest Senator Shultz' action in bringing a subpoena to obtain the
names of the students who had private hearings after the ROTC incident would presumably not be considered a disruption, Chalmers said.
"I am not aware of organized response to this strike," he stated. "Again, it is the individual's
choice of whether or not to participate."
Chalmers added that he felt a petition to reinforce the feelings of the student body would be a more positive move than a strike or march in protest of the subpoena.
Editorial support from newspapers across the state has strengthened the position of students protesting Shultz' action, he said, and a strike should be reserved for issues where it is needed.
Chalmers said that the University was functioning as a unit in its protest of the use of the subpoena. The faculty and the student body are involved together with the administration in defending their stand on the release of confidential information, he said.
SST opposition ignored by Nixon
WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Nixon announced Tuesday he would go ahead with construction of an American supersonic transport SST plane despite vigorous opposition.
"I want the United States to continue to lead the world in air transport." he said.
The administration will ask Congress for $662 million during the next five years to finance building and test flying of two prototypes of the plane by the end of 1972. Delivery to airlines is scheduled for late 1978.
The President conceded at a White House news conference that his decision had been difficult because spirited debate within the administration and Congress concerning proper priority for funds.
Congressional SST critics say it is too expensive and noisy and promptly served notice they would fight Nixon's initial request for $96 million in the current fiscal year. They argued the money is needed more urgently elsewhere.
The government already has spent an estimated $600 million

on SST research and design since 1958. The total investment is expected to be $1.26 billion before the test flights are completed.
The Boeing Co. of Seattle, builder of the giant craft, said the government would be reimbursed through sales royalties once the 300th SST is sold.
The SST will cut New York to Paris flying time from about seven hours to $2\frac{3}{4}$ hours. It will cruise at slightly less than 1,800 miles per hour at altitudes above 60,000 feet and can carry up to 300 passengers.
Three students win scholarships from merchants
