But one protest leader who held talks with Stucky on Thursday said that the issues of free speech and" divestment were inseparable.

"You cannot protest for divestment if you. don't have your free speech," said Marc Drye, one of four protesters who met with Stucky.

John F. Hill, 34, owner of Solutions Chemical Inc. of Neosho, was killed early Tuesday, authorities said. He I was beaten and stabbed numerous times. His body was discovered in the dining room of his home east of town with the' protesters.

In a telephone interview Friday, he said that arrests would be suspended while talks continued, even though a shanty remains on the quadrangle. "Nobody wanted to make any arrests, except as a last resort," he said. "I was concerned about that, and the faculty was concerned about that. We want to find ways to avoid further arrests, and I think education is the key. That is what the university is all about." He emphasized that campus police may be authorized to make arrests again, though they would do so only after notice had been given.

"We certainly have established we have the authority and the right to do that," Stucky said, "and we retain that." Stucky said he was trying to separate two issues that he says have become confused over the last two weeks freedom of speech and the divestment of South African investments. "They are using a political tactic that has been well practiced since the 60s to use the issue of freedom of speech to push the rules slightly beyond their limits, then use freedom of speech as a platform to raise other issues," he said.

The lawyer, Lawrence J.

Lee, complained Friday after Associate Circuit Judge Robert D. McAllister said he would have to study Fleming's request. The judge said he had to study the law and would decide Tuesday whether to hold a hearing on the motion. "Good for Judge McAllister," said prosecuting attorney George R. "Buzz" Westfall.

Fleming surrendered to police last week. He is being held without bail on a first-degree murder charge and for a $500,000 bond on a separate charge of possessing drugs. Lee had originally asked that bail be set when Fleming was arraigned Monday, but McAllister took no action. Lee said authorities were unlawfully denying Fleming's constitutional right to bail because he has been accused of killing a police officer. Westfall said he opposed bail for Fleming or his brother, Gerald, who also being held in the County Jail without bail.

"They're cold-blooded killers and could get the death penalty," Westfall stated. "We don't want them released because they'd have reason to flee."

"We did rule it arson," said Giess-'! ing, the department's fire investigator. "At this time, we have no suspects or motives.

"If anything, we're going toward revenge toward her. We feel it wasn't directed at the dogs, but against her." The fire occurred early Monday at ST.

LHELZBERGJ DISPATCH nJ vary stereo sound from radio from TV .30 day warranty i If TV DAYS ONE-VS By Dale Singer Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Black faculty members at the University of Missouri at Columbia appealed Friday to interim Chancellor Duane Stucky to ask that charges be dropped against anti-apartheid protesters arrested on campus.

But Stucky said in an interview that he would refuse to seek the dismissal of charges against the 41 people arrested for erecting shanties on Francis Quadrangle. However, he said he would seek no more arrests of protesters. The protesters want the university to sell $117 million in investments in companies doing business in South Africa. "The university is not in the position of deciding whether charges should be dropped or not," Stucky said. About a dozen black faculty members led a 90-minute rally of about 200 people on the steps of Jesse Hall, which houses the offices of Stucky and other campus administrators.

Michael Woodard, an assistant professor of sociology, urged Stucky to talk to Boone County officials about dropping the charges against the protesters. He then led the demonstrators into Jesse Hall, where they chanted, "What do we want? Divestment! When do we want it? Now!" and, "Divestment, yes! Dialogue, no!" The latter chant was in response to Stucky's call for further discussions Diplomat To Head Talks WASHINGTON (AP) Stephen Ledogar, a career diplomat with 27 years of experience, was appointed Friday to head the U.S. delegation to talks starting in Vienna, Austria, on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, police had said that they would begin to seize the material as soon as they got word that the court would allow them to execute their search warrant. The appeals court's decision on Friday afternoon was a defeat for the store's owner, Thomas Charles Kelly, 43, of south St. Louis County. His attorney had asked the appeals court to disallow the search warrant. The search warrant was issued last week by Judge Michael B.

Calvin of the St. Louis Circuit Court. The warrant allows police to seize videotapes, magazines, coin-operated video-cassette players and anything else that authorities deem obscene. "VALENTINE! Diamond Heart Rina reg. $125 SALE $59 Crtttwood Plaza, Salnl Uuii Gallerii, South County Canter, SI.
