Marchers protest
Africa inaction
By HEATHER McCLENAGHAN
Of the Emerald
While some University administrators may have wished the issue
of southern Africa would disappear before the end of the term, it doesn’t
look as though students are going to let them forget about recruiters,
investments or apartheid for a while.
Students are marching to Johnson Hall this afternoon at 12:30 to
ask the administration how last week's referendum demands are going
to be implemented.
Ten days ago ballots were cast in favor of prohibiting recruiters
from corporations doing business in southern Africa from using Univer
sity facilities and calling on the State Board of Higher Education and the
Development Fund to dump its stocks in companies with holdings in
southern Africa. The administration remained silent.
Members of the Southern Africa Support Committee claim the
State Board and University Pres. William Boyd are trying to ignore the
student vote in an effort to kill the issue before the end of the regular
school year.
Support Committee members are quick to point out that they are
not negotiators for students, saying the 1,160 people who voted already
made their opinions known.
‘Students need to decide how and what they’re going to do,”
Support Committee member John Lanier said. “The important thing is
to make the University honor the referendum.”
Lanier said the Support Committee is not about to let the question
of University complicity in apartheid die over the summer. The Support
Committee is asking the University to fund a symposium on southern
Africa fall term.
In addition, the committee is requesting that the library subscribe to
information materials from the liberation organizations now fighting
southern Africa’s white settler governments.
The Support Committee’s activities are similar to movements on
other campuses around the country. Last week at the University of
California at Santa Cruz 491 students were arrested while protesting
UC investment policy
“It's clear the administration would like to postpone making any
decision until after the term is over,” Lanier said. “But we intend to get
an answer Friday afternoon.”
Students will gather on the EMU Terrace for a rally at 12:30 p.m.
before proceeding to Johnson Hall.
Racist newspapers
left at campus doors
Racism in southern Africa con
cerns more and more students,
but an uglier, cioser-to-home man
ifestation of race hatred is crop
ping up this week at the Univer
sity.
Copies of the National States
Rights Party newspaper The
Thunderbolt have been quietly
distributed at University buildings
early in the morning for the last
few days.
No one is claiming credit for
leaving stacks of the paper on the
steps of the EMU, but the white
supremidst slant of the paper is of
unmistakeabie 1977 Nazi vintage.
Readers are treated to an illus
trated explanation of why some
black people have webbed, two
toed feet. ("They don’t dimb trees.
They run up them.. .they can out
run and outclimb baboons.")
Other articles tell readers why
they should oppose interracial
marriage — it results in “mongrel
children.” Or. in case any students
missed this in anthropology, tow
ail civilizations have been four ded
by the white race.
Of course, for those reaaers
who tire of the news pages, the
advertisements round out the
paper s offerings. You can order a
National States Rights Party un
iform, complete with Sam Brown
belt and a thunderbolt insignia. In
case you see one of these people
you should be aware of the insig
nia— it looks very familiar, sort of
an updated swastika.
The Thunderbolt turned up at
the University about the same
time Southern Africa Support
Committee posters were ripped
off walls and replaced with racist
cartoons.
The mimeographed cartoons
which depict black people in trees
appeared at the same time a
sticky-backed printed quotation
about the international Jewish
conspiracy began to be plastered
on exterior walls and lamp posts.
Herbicide to line roads
The Willamette National Forest
plans to apply an approved her
bicide along the roadsides of up to
19 miles of forest roads in the Blue
River and McKenzie Ranger Dis
tricts during August.
The treatment area, containing
approximately 17 acres, will be up
to 10 feet wide on either side of the
roads. The application will treat
stumps left by previous brush cut
ting, and sprouts resulting from
the cutting. All safety precautions
for the protection of personnel,
adjacent vegetation and streams
will be followed. The Regional
Forester has approved this pro
ject, designed to improve visibility
for driver safety.
The Forest plans to compare
the cost of hand cutting only ver
sus the use of herbicides if a con
tract can be negotiated. A five
mile section of road will be
brushed each year for several
years at the lowest price obtaina
ble The total cost will be com
pared to one chemical application,
which is normally required at
three-year intervals.
