Students to protest
'U divestiture report

Beware of 'running dogs
An anonymous wall poster a la Mao rhetoric appeared yesterday in the
Frieze Building. Translated from the Chinese, the facetious poster reads,
"Long Live Chairman Brower" (the head of the Far Eastern Languages
Department) and "Beware of the aggressive faction from social workers
and their running dogs." The poster, which is signed by the "Revolutionary
Committee of the Ann Arbor Number Three Camphor Company,"calls for
unity within the Far Eastern Languages Department in facing the opposition
of the other departments located in the Frieze Building.
U.. to send teamof
BY JULIE ENGEBRECHT
Students unsatisfied with a Univer-
sity Board of Regents report concer-
ning the operationseofsAmerican firms
in South Africa once again plan to ap-
peal the divestiture issue at the Regents
meeting tomorrow afternoon.
The students, most of them members
of the Washtenaw County Coalition
Against Apartheid (WCCAA), are
dissatisfied with a report concerning
University investments in companies
with South African holdings. The report
was made last October merely to fulfill
a resolution passed by the Regents last
March, WCCAA members claim.
THE RESOLUTION states that
James Brinkerhoff, University vice-
president and chief financial officer,
would send letters to firms in which the
University invests to determine its
business operations in South Africa. In
the letters the University stated its op-
position to apartheid, racial injustice,
and encouraged the firms to endorse
"the enhancement of political,
economic and social rights for all the
corporations' employees in South
Africa."
Similar reports are to be made
periodically by Brinkerhoff in the
future.
Brinkerhoff said his year-long study
is completed except for the presen-
tation of a two-page report. of a few
responses from firms which will go
before the Regents tomorrow.
"WE HAVE been involved all year in
terms of receiving regular reports -
directly or indirectly," Brinkerhoff
said. "It'sran ongoing obligation and
we'll continue to make reports each Oc-
tober."
But WCCAA members maintain the
comprehensiveness of the report is
open to question.
"The report was cursory," said Heidi
Gottfried of the WCCAA. "It didn't say
that much. The Regents haven't
allowed a dialogue to take place."
GOTTFRIED claimed that the
previous divestiture report, completed
in October, was presented in Flint, thus
giving most students no opportunity to
speak out against the report.
Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey),
who will not attend this month's
meeting, said he was not satisfied with
the simple form of writing letters to
companies. "I think it would be more
appropriate directly coming from
someone from the University to state
strongly the Board's position," Brown
said. "We should go to the stockholders'
meeting and ask what progress, if any,
the corporation has made, and find out
if they really are complying."
"Writing letters is one thing," he ad-
ded, "but it's not very effective. I tend
to believe we should not sell the stock -
so far. We have to take another look at
it and see what has transpired."
BROWN ALSO said he feels a com-
plete report should be made, and added
that the issue of divestment will be a
continuing dilemma for the University
community.
But other Regents were not so sym-
pathetic to the students' demands.
"We reviewed it (the report) in Oc-
tober, and the next review will be done
next October," said Regent Robert
Nederlander (D-Birmingham). "We
met our obligation."
UNIVERSITY Financial Officer
Norman Herbert said, "The report this
month concludes responses from all
corporations. We will continue to
research the subject and make sure
companies continue to make progress
in line with the Regents' resolution of
March."
WCCAA member Geoffrey Cox said,
"The Regents are neglecting their
responsibilities to the people of
Michigan, the people of South Africa,
students and alumni. The University
should use its influences for moral
causes, whether it's financially
profitable or not."
WCCAA has also been working on a
petition drive and has so far gathered
between 9,000 and 10,000 signatures
calling for University divestment. Ac-
cording to a spokesperson, they plan to
solicit more signatures and possibly
present it at the April Regents meeting.
WCCAA members and other students
plan to rally on the Diag tomorrow at 11
a.m. before attending the Regents'
meeting.

Yemen under contract to help prepare and specia

According to Ross, as many as 100 to
200 other civilian employees stationed
in neighboring Saudi Arabia could be
involved in supporting the North
Yemeni F-5 program.
Defense officials said small U.S. Ar-
my mobile training teams already have
been in North Yemen to show the coun-
try's army how to fire and maintain a
shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket that was
provided under a previous arms sale.
THE SPOKESMAN appeared to be
attempting to quell any impression that
the introduction of U.S. trainers and
technicians into North Yemen is in any
way similar to the commitment of
American military advisers in South
Vietnam in the 1960s - an action that
escalated into major U.S. involvement
in that war.

"AND THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY, AND THE LUST
THEREOF: BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD
ABIDETH FOREVER." 1st John 2:17.
"The world 'passeth away'!" 1978 has "passed away," and
gone.
During the past week many a heart stopped its "pumping
job," and all these have "passed away." The late Sam Jones
said: "The heart in your bosom is 'a muffled drum' beating a
march for you to the cemetery, and the judgment of The
Almighty!" "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment-!" Hebrews 9:27. Your record for 1978
and mine, as written down by God's Recording Angel has not
"passed away," but still stands "FOR GOD SHALL BRING
EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, WITH EVERY SECRET
THING, WHETHER IT BE GOOD, OR WHETHER IT BE
EVIL."
The two preceding verses give us this warning: "And
further, by these, my son, be admonished: 'of making many
books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the
flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
God and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty
of man." Eccles. 12:12-14. There is surely "no end" in our day
of man-made books and things to read! Does not God here
warn us we better make the reading of His Book, The Bible,
-first and foremost? Jesus called Peter, Satan, because he
savored not of the things of God, but savored of the things of
men! How are we going to "savor of the things of God" if we
neglect and fail take heed of Psalm 119:11: "THY WORD
HAVE I HID IN MINE HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN
AGAINST THEE!"
John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress. This Book, next to
the Bible, is reputed to have had the greatest influence in
producing the greatness of character and accomplishments
of the English-speaking peoples.
Bunyan advised his children to think a little every day
about their own funeral: not to make them sad and morbid,
but on the contrary, in order to banish those sort of feelings
and dread and fear at the time, and enable them to meet it re-
joicing in the "so great Salvation of The Lord JesusChrist."aIt
may be the Recording Angel has entered your name, and
mine, for a 1979 Appointment!
It has been well said that there is only one road in this life:
Heaven at one end, and Hell on the other end. The real im-
portant thing is which way are you going, which way are you
traveling? In The Sermon on The Mount Christ said the way
to Heaven was "strait and narrow and few there be that find
it"; but the way to Hell was "broad end wide," and crowded!-
Have you ever definitely "turned about"-that is the mean-
ing of conversion - and begun to "fight the good fight of
faith" to walk the narrow way to Heaven?
- Turn your face towards Heaven as you begin another year.
Don't look back/,Use the means of Grace: Search the Scrip-
tures, they testify of The Lord Christ. Pray, and faint not.
Honor God on His Day - consider Isaiah-58:13,14, on how
to keep the Sabbath, and not the ideas and notions that savor
not of God, but of men. Honor God's House, the dedicated
place of worship. Man looks at the outward appearance, but
God looks at the heart - 1st Samuel 16:7. "STRIVE TO
ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE," continue faithful In
weildoing, and in due season you will meet The Lord Himself
in the Way, and come to rejoice in His Salvation and
Presence:
"IN THY PRESENCE IS FULNESS OF JOY, AND AT THY
RIGHT HAND THERE ARE PLEASURES FOREVERMORE!"
Psalm 16:11.
"THE WORD PASSETH AWAY, AND THE LUST
THEREOF: BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD
ABIDETH FOREVER." 1st John 2:17.
