We got actions for any demand that we make," he said. Sitterson was in a meeting throughout the afternoon and unavailable for comment.

At this meeting, Cathey told the students they would be allowed to leaflet, according to Yam. In a discussion of UNC's recruitment policy, Yam asked Cathey if a representative from Black Panther Party or Young Socialist League would be allowed to recruit on campus, and he says Cathey admitted that UNC's policy is selective. When Cathey told the students to leave the building, Yam says he implied that he "was intending to have the authorities remove us," Cathey told the students that they could leaflet outside the building. In a meeting of the New University Conference later yesterday morning, Yam explained the incident to the group, which is now investigating the University recruitment policy. All five students involved are members of the NUC. According to Yam, sentiment of NUC "seems to be" for either total open recruitment or off -campus recruitment. Yam says that the "policy right now is inconsistent with democratic ideals and the goals of the University." The leaflet the students were handing out spoke of "terrorism, treachery, and assassination" committed by the CIA, "in direct contravention of democratic and humanitarian values." i ; 4 I i i , 31 V'" DTH Staff Photo By Tom Schnabel the Wilson Library dome.
