LIBERTY (Downtown) 4 995-1891 LIBRARIES & Individual Books Bought -- Also Thousands of Quality SUSED PAPERBACKS As COVER PRICE By STEVE GOLD Australian journalist Wilfred Bur- chett last night described a long chain of "passing the torch" of national liberation struggles starting in Fren- ch Colonial Vietnam in the early 20th century and leading to Namibia, Rhodesia and South Africa today. He said there has been "solidarity between those fighting for the right of independence." SPEAKING LAST night to a sparce audience in the Modern Language Building, Burchett, a well-known author and journalist, traced the roots of the revolutionary efforts in Africa. The chain of freedom-fighting began when the French removed troops from their colony, Algeria, to fight against other rebels in another colony: Vietnam. When the Viet Minh rebels were vic- torious, Burchett said, the Algerians adopted their methods and took the fight "from one continent to another," back to Africa. In Africa, each victory brought about new struggles and led to the continuation of the chain. "As soon as one nation gained in- dependence," he said, "it allowed other liberation organizations to use its territory to set up information missions, to train troops, and even- tually launch operations." IN MANY cases, colonial powers tried to "cut their losses. . . granting independence by negotiating with middle-of-the-road forces to protect their investments." Burchett said he believes South African black leader Steven Biko may have been an acceptable replacement for the Vorster regime there, but that he was "arrested and done away with" in order to prevent such a com- promise. During a question and answer period after his talk, Burchett read a statement from the State Department that said the U.S. "has no infor- mation" regarding charges that he tortured American POWs in North Vietnam or was linked to the KGB, the Russian Secret Police. In his long career, Burchett has won many distinctions. He was the first western to report on the effects of radiation at Hiroshima when the U.S. Army was still denying that radiation had any ill effects.

Action taken on nursing dispute (Continued from Page 1) of the chairperson's responsibilities Davis will be losing, but Marshall said, "There are some decisions which she (Davis) will still be making." Vice President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro, who had been informed of the conflicts between the faculty members, said, "Our first order of busi- ness right now is to establish the teaching schedule for next semester." SEVERAL STUDENTS in the pro- gram were not happy with the decision. Said one second-year student, "I'm dis- appointed, I guess. I had wished for something else, something a little more assertive than that, something more concrete. It has absolved them (the administration) of any responsibility if the professors decide not to teach." Another student expressed similar concern that Lohr's decision would not be effective. "I think it's a really nothing way of dealing with it," she said. The student added she was "getting fed up with the whole thing. They (the administration) are just patting us on the heads and say- ing, 'Don't worry.' They haven't made any effort to let us know what's going on. People are getting sick of the whole thing." HANSON MET with students twice in November and told them that some of the problems seem to run along racial lines. Another element in the, matter, according to Rackham Graduate School Dean Alfred Sussman, is "ad- ministrative style." Belcher nixes re-election bid (Continued from Page 1) Ronald Trowbridge said he, too, though the Belcher decision would have no effect on the court proceed- ings, but, unlike Adamo, Trowbridge finds no connection between the court battle and Belcher's decision not to run.

Democrats, however, like Council- man Earl Greene, see Belcher's deci- sion as political maneuvering on the part of the Republicans, who hope to hold onto Belcher's Fifth Ward seat in the event that Belcher is declared the mayor. "He (Belcher) expects to unseat Wheeler in the court process and he fully expects to be mayor," Greene says. "By not running, they secure the two Fifth Ward seats and they plan on Belcher becoming mayor." VV How I found 36 extra days last "I used to be too uncomfortable to do much of anything when I had my menstrual period. It was like losing at least three days every month. Then, last year, I switched to Tampax tampons. Now I'm always on the go:' Making every day count is what Tampax tampons are all about. They eliminate chafing, bulk and bulges. In fact, once the tampon is prop- erly in place, you can't even feel it's there. And Tampax tampons are uniquely designed to conform to individual vaginal con- tours. Which means there's less chance of leakage or bypass. With Tampax But while Belcher's decision not to run is being construed as a GOP power play, the Democrats have other plans. Some, like Grace and Greene, do not think Belcher's vacant seat will necessarily be a Republican shoe-in. "Each year, we have gotten more and more," Greene said. Belcher, meanwhile, still considers himself a force in the upcoming elections and in future Ann Arbor city politics. "I'm too young to give up politics," Belcher said. "It's too much fun. I'll stay in city politics, though - I don't want to go to Lansing."~ Belcher said he had no plans to make a second run for the Mayor's office in 1979, saying, "I hope to be mayor by then." MONSTER INSURANCE NEW ORLEANS (AP)-Godzilla, the movie monster known as the scourge of cities and human life, is protected by insurance. '"When we were approached to issue the insurance," said Edward Yerger, resident vice president of Fireman's Fund Insurance Companies branch here, "no one had the nerve to turn Godzilla down. "But we're not complete pushovers. -We'd heard Godzilla has. breath that would fry a chicken, so we wrote the policy to exclude any loss caused by ex- treme temperatures, as well as wear and tear, dishonesty, flood and mysterious disappearances." Verger added. The request for coverage,made by Cinema Shares International, was ac- tually for a monster costume used to promote a Godzilla film at theaters around the country. The insurance firm wrote a scheduled articles floater with a $5,000 limit.
