The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, March 14, 1979-Page 7 Students to protest 'U divestiture report Daily Photo By MAUREEN O'MALLEY 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.

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. P. 0.
