Security Council unani- that w mously approved an arms embargo against South Africa's white-minor- ity regime Friday in reaction to Vorster's crackdown on black lead- ers and organizations. Some U.N. members are pressing for additional sanctions, including a cutoff of oil supplies. The U.S. voted for the arms em- bargo and Vorsterhsuggested oil- exp4orting nations had pressured Washington into making such a deci- sion. He singled out Nigeria, a member of the 13-nation Organiza- tion of Oil Exporting Countries, for a bitter attack. He said Nigeria, black Africa's wealthiest nation, is ruled by a "cruel military dictatorship" and added: "I am getting a bit sick and tired of that sort of morality based on s im s held )s w geri ter cou nt w rd ers ME go, ase on ihe m sick and tired of examples up to me of military dicta- here there is no freedom at a is respectable because it warned that the arms em- ild lead to violence by both rhites and black national-. said the Security Council would be responsible. NTING on a possible oil the prime minister said, "I d to tell you we have made over the past years, and reas they certainly will embarg to threats create certain difficulties for South Africa, they will certainly not kill us. We have made provision so that they cannot kill us." He referred to the stockpiling of oil in recent years in abandoned coal mines. It is estimated by some officials that these reserves could provide for emergency needs for several years. Vorster said South Africa will continue to make domestic changes in its apartheid policies "but not because the world says we must do so." (Continued from Page 1) the status quo, this could mean an. even greater delay, since the matter would have to be discussed at stock- bolder meetings Such meetings usually occur in the spring of each year. If the Regents don't make a de- cision until fall, 1978, they would not be able to implement their decision until spring, 1979. Brian Kuttner, a representative of the South African Liberation Com- mittee (SALC), claims whatever the committee does is useless anyway. He said, "It's unimportant - it's merely a stalling ,tactic." Kuttner charges that the Regents plan to en- courage discussion of the matter as a delaying tactic. THE COMMITTEE was estab- lished in 1970 to cope with student unrest. But Fleming said, "More recently, there has been less interest in such forums . . . and the commit- tee has been inactive to nonexistent." The Regent's bylaws give a vague outline for a committee that would provide the basis for communica- tion between students, faculty, and' administration. Fleming wrote in a letter to Chris Bachelder, Michigan Student Assem- bly (MSA) vice-president - that he would prefer to have the committee "functioning by the third week in September. "However, the commit- tee has yet to begin discussion of the issue. Part of the delay in reactivating the committee seems to be due to the lengthy process for selecting mem- bers. Two students were to be select- ed by the Faculty Senate Assembly from a list of four nominees. The fac- ulty nembers were to be picked in the same manner by MSA. When the four met, they were to select two administrators. Then a chairperson would be chosen from among the six. WILLIAM CASH, assistant to the president, is responsible for organiz- ing the committee. He said "The whole procedure ... is sort of a slow one." This is what happened: on July 19, Fleming revealed his intention to re- activate the Committee in a letter to Bachelder. But MSA is not in session during the summer, so nothing could be done until the fall. By September 20, the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) had received the list of student nominees. They could not act, according to their bylaws, until the Senate Assembly met Octo- ber 17. SACUA SENT the list of faculty nominees to MSA on September 21. MSA did not notify the administra- tion of its choice until October 26, said MSA president Jon Lauer: MSA took over five weeks to pick two of the faculty nominees because "we had some very important stuff coming up in the assembly, like the constitutional amendments, the elec- tion of officers ..." said Lauer. The two faculty members selected by MSA were John Mathes and Alfred Meyer. The two students chosen by the Senate Assembly were Heidi Gottfried and Bob Cutler. Those four then chose administrators Marion Jackson and Percy Bates. KENNEDY said the SoutheAfrican issue is as significant as the recent DNA research debate, and that took almost a year to resolve, "I don't, hold out any really significant hope that we're going to be able to do this one much more quickly than that," he said. A source close to the committee has raised a basic question: how effective will the committee be? Denis Ondeje, vice president of the African Students Association, which is sponsoring the teach-in on South Africa this week, is taking a wait- and-see attitude. "After they have met once or twice, and we know what their meth- od of operation is, how fast they are working . .. then we will be able to make a judgement," he said.

If I hang around here, I'll go nowhere." GORDON ISN'T the only shark on the premises, and each of the others has his own reasons for fancying the ivory balls. Dave Farmer holds down a job at University Hospital in his spare time. But his first love is pool. It "gives me money to party with," he says. Union regular Jim Byrd says "you have to waste time one way or another, and pool is the best way." Most of the regulars hang out at the pool hall several hours a day, and only about half are students. While Farmer and Gordon are attracted to the economic niceties of the sport, others savor the fine points of the tables. rOne of those is Carl Conlon, a dignified gentileman with more sophisticated reasons for his regular at- tendance. He was an international champion in three-cushion billiards - a close cousin of pool - and he finds in that moribund game a finer breed of cue competition. "BILLARDS isn't a popular game because an American kid wants to win more than he wants to play," Conlon said. "You have to learn too much before you can make a showing in billiards." Conlon .isn't a hustler at all. He con- siders himself an instructor. When he first walked into the Union hall, he cave~ the hiliard tabe haidn't been used For LSA sophomore Scott Webb, pool is fun and cheap. Besides, he says, it lasts longer than pinball. And it has esthetic appeal: "It grows on you. It's sort of like music; the better you get the more work it is." The "morphology of pool" is what fascinates graduate botany student Van Baldwin. "There are a number of basic shots that appear in an infinite varie- ty," he says. "Knowing why you miss is the challenge." There are few overtones of seediness in the Union hall. Liquor isn't available. "The people come to play pool," says John Daly. "It's the only thing of- fered. ,\ L LX An education in pocket billiards FREE INSTRUCTIONS TODAY - 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm at the UNION ANNUAL SKI OPEN HOUSE NOVEMBER 11,12,13th FMIYOam-lOpm SA7URDAY lOam.9pm SUNDAY Noon6pm ends, doing going Speed All too often, when the party If someone gets too drunk to the trouble begins. drive, drive him yourself.
