Sirhan appeared calm as the proceedings began. He entered the heavily guarded courtroom wearing a grey suit and blue tie, sat down at the long coun sel table and waved to his at torneys. He later was ordered taken back to his cell. The move for a 30-day delay came when Grant Cooper, one of three defense attorneys, ask ed that Sirhan’s plea of not guilty be set aside “for the sole and only purpose of mak ing a motion to quash the in dictment.” Judge Walker asked the mo tion be made in writing and Cooper said he would need addi tional time. “I would suggest a period of 30 days,” he said. The judge denied this, saying “there is a great deal of ex pense and inconvenience involv ed. I feel we should move as expediently as possible.” Judge Walker also denied a plea for two separate juries, one to determine whether Sirhan is guilty or innocent and a second to determine the penalty if the defendant is convicted. He said Cooper could make the motion again at the end of the first part of the trial. Teachers Join Protest At Turbulent SF State SAN FRANCISCO (API — A noisy group of striking teachers and minority students picketed the entrance to San Francisco State College today, but stu dents streamed through the line to classes. One Chinese student scuffled with a Chinese picket and a Ne gro picket as police arrived, but classes appeared to be operat ing normally on a cold, foggy morning. There was no major violence but police arrested five demon strators on charges of intimidat ing nonstrikers and using ob scenities. Acting President S. I. Hayak awa questioned whether he could keep the school open in face of a strike by union teachers. Another state college, at San Jose, faced a similar teacher's strike Wednesday. “I don’t know how I am going to stop them from closing the school,” Hayakawa said of the striking American Federation of Teachers (AFT). “But I am going to try. I am not going to accept it closed by anyone.” The teachers support student strikers who have boycotted classes at the 18.000-student campus since Nov. 6. They also seek higher pay. more voice in college policy-making and offi cial recognition. iiayakawa was visibly shaken by the strike called Monday by the teachers union, representing 350 of the college’s 1,100 faculty members. Until then, he had ap peared optimistic since he be came acting president Nov. 26. The AFT set up picket lines in front of the college and at certain on-campus points Mon day. But it wasn’t until late in the day the union received strike sanctions from the San Fran cisco Labor Council. The action hit other campus employes. The cafeteria closed at 2 p.m. when food handlers left their jobs. Some 150 other nonteaching union workers faced the prospect of crossing picket lines to reach their jobs. At San Jose, 50 miles south, the college chapter of AFT re ceived strike sanction Monday night from the Central Labor Council of Santa Clara County. The union planned a strike Wednesday supporting its un disclosed demands and backing San Francisco State AFT mem bers. The San Jose AFT claims 275 members of a faculty of more than 1,200. "A militant minority of the faculty has hitchhiked onto the militant students' violence-rid den strike for a vicious power grab," Hayakawa told newsmen. Later he met with college ad ministrators planning strategy to counter the strike. "I have some ideas,” he said. “Very few things are solely my decision.” Three hundred police were stationed on or near the cam pus. Hayakawa said he would keep officers patroling school buildings the rest of the week. The student strike, led by the Black Students Union and the Third World Liberation Front—■ composed of other racial minor ity students—have made 15 de mands of the college. They want, among other things, an autonomous black studies de partment, admission of all mi nority applicants regardless of academic qualifications and amnesty for all arrested or sus pended during the strike. Classes also resumed at near by College of San Mateo. Seven ty-five police were stationed on campus atfer a prevacation raid by a small group of students de stroyed property, disrupted classes and attacked students and faculty. Reagan Proposals Aim At Campus Disruptions SACRAMENTO, Calif. </P) — Gov. Ronald Reagan, offering California his 1969 program, called on the state legislature today to strike hard against cam pus turmoil by increasing pen alties for students, nonstudents and faculty involved in distur bances. And, he asked for new porno graphy controls and new weap ons in the war against crime, in cluding giving police authority to use electronic listening de vices when a judge approves. The speech was prepared for a joint session of the legisla ture where Republicans now hold narrow majorities in the Senate and Assembly. Many of his plans for the third year of his term were spelled out in general terms, but Reagan was more specific when he talked about unrest on California’s public college cam puses. “Such proposals, among other things, increase the legal pen Tutors Needed Tutors are needed for “Proj ect 75” students. Tutors are responsible for at least three disadvantaged students. Tutors must register for practicum course for instruction in tutorial techniques. Credit ranges from 3-6 hours.
