Page 2-Wednesday, November 22, 1978-The Michigan Daily Fleming defends 'U' investmenti (Continued from Page 1) His trip was funded by the United States- South Africa Leadership Ex- change Program, a non-profit organization founded to promote the ex- tension of racial justice in both nations. Based on the experiences of his trip, during which he claims he was exposed to "a wide spectrum of public opinion," Fleming concluded there are two possible scenarios for South Africa's future. HE CONTENDS the government must move within the next two or three years to propose major concessions to enhance the blacks' economic, political and social rights, or else a confron- tation between the two sides will probably emerge. However, Fleming added, "I don't see any evidence that the government is prepared to make the type of con- cessions to make a genuine effort to bring this situation together. They are blinded by the fears that the white population can't survive with these kind of concessions.'" He said a prevalent view among white South Africans is that the blacks are part of a widespread conspiracy to subvert the current regime and start a communist state. "It's reminiscent of the McCarthy period, with the kind of discussions one hears," noted Fleming. REFERRING TO the possibility of a mass black uprising, Fleming argued that many people, especially in this country, have miscalculated the results of such a confrontation.

Fleming added the continuation of guerilla warfare at its present rate will probably not force the removal of the white minority regime. THROUGHOUT the lecture Fleming, who has served the University for 11 years and will leave in five weeks, put forth the argument that many influen- tial black leaders in South Africa op- pose divestiture. "It is not a universal view that the U.S. should take away its investments. It was a mixed picture there as mem- bers of the Black Chamber of Commer- ce and the former editor of the Black World, Percy Qoboza, told us the U.S. should not leave them," said Fleming. He divided the black population into two sectors - the under-35 age group and the older generation - and said they have conflicting attitudes toward divestiture. Flemingi claimed the younger blacks are so disillusioned with the white minority government that "they have given tip and don't believe there is any hope'the government will make a compromise." "The over-35 group believes the only solution is not revolution, but is some kind of compromise, although the government hasn't given them any kin1 of hope," said Fleming. He added many whites tend to cotX clude that Americans supporting the one-man, one-vote concept have nothing to fear because the ratio of whites to blacks in the United States is 4-1, while it is the reverse in South Africa. "When you begin to discuss this corr cept with them, they just begin to close their ranks. They can't face up to this question," Fleming said. Cle ricals explain union rejection (Continued from Paget1) sity did not take as active a role in promoting anti-union feeling as it has in the past, although she said the Univer- sity sent a letter to every clerical which purported to outline the bad qualities of a union, such as high dues. "The University could count on sub- jective factors and perceived anti-union feeling," Jensen said. Added Braun: "The University gambled and banked on union, status quo - what most unions look like. But it's also always easier for people to go with the way things are than look at change." Jensen and Braun also noted the Holocaust survivor speaks Gerda Weissman Klein, who sur- vived the Nazi slaughter of European Jews during World War II, will speak at a forum sponsored by the Washtenaw County United Jewish Appeal at 2 p.m., Dec. 3. All are welcome. The talk will take place at Beth Israel Synagogue, 2000 Washtenaw. Klein iwrote All But My life, a book which describes her experiences in Nazi con- centration camps. OCC's difficulty in reaching all clericals, because of their isolated job locations. CLERICAL CHRIS Maki, who sup- ported the OCC, agreed that the UAW's previous representation was poor and left a lasting impression. "Many clericals are still disturbed over (UAW) local) 2001 - it was definitely the 5 alums honored here Five University alumni were honored by their alma mater Nov. 18.

"Too many clericals were here whei the other union existed and were affec ted," said Jean Keller, who voted against the OCC. "I just didn't support them because I didn't think they could come through with what they promised." Another clerical who opposed the OCC said it set its demands too high. "I also feel that I'd be paying a lot more than what I'd be getting in return from the union," added Lori Proctor. Proctor said a letter put out by n caucus within OCC - Clericals for a Democratic Union - which said none of the candidates on the state election ballot were acceptable, also hurt the OCC. The election was a disappointment, but it also reaffirms the OCC's main- tenance of union support since the UAW rejection."Yes, we lost the election - but we know we have a base of support for a union," Jensen pointed out. When the United States celebrated i Centennial in 1876 with a $10-millio World Exhibition in Philadelphia, Pa., 10 million people visited the 236-acr fairgrounds. Among the exhibits on display were the 'self-binding reaper, the web printing press, the typewriter, and Alexander Graham Bell's first telephone, patented that year.
