Matters of Conscience and Consequence
The drive to force American
institutions to rid them
selves of investment ties to
South Africa has become the
broadest, most passionate cru
sade on U .S. campuses since the
movement to end the Vietnam
War. For one thing, apartheid
is easy to comprehend—and ab
hor. For another, the percep
tion that their schools have a
stake in South Africa per
suades many students that
they have a real chance to influ
ence foreign policy With rare
exception, trustees share the
distaste for South Africa's ra
cial policies, but many argue
that divestiture is more com
plex than students believe—
and could severely punish the
country’s blacks
Newsweek On Campus's
cover story provides a forth
right discussion of divestiture,
calling on the worldwide report
ing resources of News week. We
used the same reservoir of tal
ent last fall for a cover story on
the American UniversityofBei
rut and for the first-ever inside
look at Ted Koppel’s "Night
line.” Newbweek On Campus
has also examined the Bcandals
of college athletics and crime on
campus, and the glory of the
performing arts in colleges and
universities. This is our final
issue of 1985-86, a year of nota
ble growth for us, thanks to
your interest. We offer what
Newsweek offers: stories of
consequence for an intelligent,
educated readership. We look
forward eagerly to the autumn.
