Reporter speaks of revolutions Eye-witness relays viewpoints based on first-hand experience The better-organized the black majority becomes in South Africa, the more it is op pressed by their government, news correspondent Wilfred Burchett said to almost 300 persons Wednesday in 167 EMU. “There's no possibility negotiations will take place," Burchett added, saying re volutionary leaders in South Africa only resorted to arms after other means of dealing with the government had been exhausted. Burchett addressed the topic of “Revolution—a View from the Front Lines,” relaying his experiences in China, Africa, Vietnam, North Korea, Laos, Mozambique, Angola and the Middle East. This was his first speaking tour in the United States. He is a veteran reporter for the Guardian, an independent Marxist newspaper. His ap pearance with irwin Siiber, the executive editor of the New York based newspaper, was sponsored by the University Cultural Forum, the MayDay Cultural Committee and the Eugene chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. Examining his media cover age of revolutions, Burchett said he is impressed with the solidarity of revolutionary peo ple. In Africa today, “this is the last push now into the stron ghold of racism and fascism.,' he said. He added the black revolutionary forces will “push further south until they have South African troops against the sea.” In a question and answer session following Burchett s speech, he was asked why the Guardian criticizes South Af rica, where 67 blacks were kil led in the 1960 demonstration, but ignores Uganda, where hundreds of thousands are rumored to have been mas sacred. Burchett repiied, “Uganda is, unfortunately, an independent country." iff***4 \NW\[e \N\ne' All natural flavors! KE HOUSC Wine Cocktails w-t \ i i An idea whose time has come!
