ECONA-CAR EA+G ELC A R A GELCO COMPANY S. Africa By MARY GAITSKILL A new organization, the University Committee on Southern Africa (UCSA), has been formed to raise community understanding and generate research on the issues in Southern Africa. The UCSA, which is located in the Center f'or Afro- American and African Studies, will be, sponsoring Southern African cultural events, conferences, and research projects, which it hopes will lead to new University course material on the subject, said Program Coordinator and political science professor David Gordon. THE COMMITTEE .has a program of research grants, and has given small grants to both students and faculty. The research projects range from studies of public health in South Africa to Southern African politics. The UCSA was formed because Southern Africa, an increasingly important part of the world, isn't being addressed in any other part of the University, said Committee Chairman and Political Science Professor Ali Mazrui. He added that "The issue of Southern Africa was such a lively issue on campus, we felt we had to educate ourselves." committee formed The UCSA was created last spring under the auspices of academic Vice-President Edward Doerhty as a result of growing concern among University administrators, "especially Harold Shapiro," with Southern Africa, said Gordon. Shapiro said he would back the committee financially if they could come up with proposals for studies on Southern Africa. Information on Southern Africa is crucial, said Mazrui, because the country is on the verge of a disaster that could effect the world. SOUTH AFRICA is rich in minerals and gold, said Mazrui, and whoever controls the region has a great deal of power. "South Africa is in a position to play havoc with the world monetary system," he said, ad- ding that the country is strategically important in terms of sea routes for oil imports. Mazrui also said a racial war in Southern Africa could destabilize the racial situation here if the U.S. supports the white government. And the U.S. might do that, said Mazrui, if the black liberation forces are more leftist than the white government, which, Mazrui added wryly, "wouldn't take much." According to Mazrui, the events sponsored by the UCSA will cover cultural, educational and economic aspects of Southern African life. Last summer, the UCSA sponsored a talk by black Southern African: trade unionist Drake Koca. THE UCSA IS sponsoring a teach-in on Southern Africa today at the School of Education, and: tomorrow at the First United Methodist phurch. The teach-in, which will feature local and guest speakers, is titled "Continuity and Change." According to Mazrui, one of the major themes of the teach-in will be to determine whether the "small, liberal changes that have occurred in Southern: Africa recently have come fast enough and are fun- damental enough to avert disaster." Future events will include: A mini-conference in March centered around the. Year of the Child, which will feature speakers on health care, education, and the problems of social dislocation in Southern Africa; " A round table discussion on Nambia, including, members of the major liberation force - the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO); " And two plays by Southern African writers,' produced at the Canterbury Loft. 4 SECOND C94ANCE GRADUATING ENGI NEERS, Have you considered these factorsi you will work? 1 Will the job offer challenge and responsibility? 2.

House OK From AP and Reuter WASHINGTON-The house, moving with unusual speed, voted over- whelmingly yesterday for a $1.35 billion emergency aid measure to help poor people pay their heating bills this win- ter. House members approved the plan, 290-105, after first declaring that they want the proceeds of President Carter's proposed "windfall profits" tax on the oil industry to pay for the costly program. BUT AN EFFORT to make the entire aid program contingent on passage of the tax was ruled out of order and thus rejected. Along with $250 million previously approved by the House, the ap- propriation would match the $1.6 billion in emergency heating aid recently passed by the Senate. Minor differences in the two bills must still be reconciled, Allocation detailsthave not been worked out, but the Carter ad- ministration has proposed allowances of $200 for a family of four and $100 for single needy people. THE BILL WAS called up for debate less than 24 hours after it was approved by the House Appropriations Cormit- tee. Usually, several days or, weeks elapse from the time a bill is approved by a committee and it reaches the floor. In this case, the House leadership com- pressed the normal process. Meanwhile, in another energy- related development, the House Rules Committee was meeting to establish ground rules for debate on legislation to establish an Energy Mobilization THE MICHIGAN IAILY (USPS .344-9004) Volume LXXXX, No.44 Friday, October 26, 1979 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.

Two conflicting proposals are pending before the House to set up the board, which would be created to cut red tape hindering energy projects. House Speaker Thomas O'Neill, ter- ming emergency fuel aid a "national imperative," placed the bill ahead of other important measures on the House agenda to gain a swift vote. "THIS TO ME is a national im- perative," the House's top Democrat said before the debate. "This is a crisis." % Despite O'Neill's pleadings, several critics complained that the House was running the risk of wasting large sums of money as it tried to set up'the 4 T IE IIAN(;ED. 2 (;E'T IJE: PLO members sentenced program. In other energy action, the Senate Finance Committee wrapped up work' j on a scaled-down "windfall-profits" tax' by approving a tax credit of up to $200 a, year to help low-to-middle income families pay soaring fuel costs. The credit, a direct reduction of taxes,. would be availble starting this winter to any family-regardless of heating costs-with income of up to $20,000 a year. The panel earlier agreed on a method for helping welfare recipients cope with..-, higher fuel costs. The plan could mean- a payment as high as $767 a year, with relief focused on the coldest states. From AP and Reuter Military courts in Turkey and Israel sentenced four Palestinians to death and two to life prison terms yesterday for terrorist attacks that left a totalof 46 persons dead. One of the attacks, a March 1978 rampage by a guerrilla squad on the Tel Aviv-Haifa highway, was the bloodiest terrorist assault in Iskael's history. Thirty-four Israelis and nine of the Palestinian raiders were killed. AFTER THE court in Lod, Israel, or- dered life imprisonment Thursday for the two surviving Palestinians, the defendants shouted, "Long live'a free and independent Palestine!- Pan- demonium broke out in the courtroom as enraged survivors and relatives of, the victims mobbed the pair. Guards finally expelled the spectators-. The four Palestinians condemned to be hanged in Turkey seized the Egyp- tian Embassy in Ankara last July 13 in a submachine gun and grenade assault that killed two guards. One of their hostages died when he fell from a third- floor window in an attempt to escape. The two Palestinians sentenced in Lod, Haled Hussein and Hussein Fiad, both 19, had been convicted of murder last Tuesday. THEY WERE THE only survivors of an 11-member band which had hijacked a bus filled with Israeli tourists and went on a rampage along the highway until the bus was stopped by Israeli troops just north of Tel Aviv.
