African firms following 'U' policy BY JOHN SINKEVICS University Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff said yesterday that he has met with representatives from G.D. Searle and Company, and that he is satisfied that they are complying with the Regents' South African policy. Searle is one of two firms doing business in South Africa from which the Board nearly divested last month. Brinkerhoff reports that "in general, their (employment) policies (in South Africa) are in line with the Sullivan Principles and the University's stance on the issue." The Sullivan Principles include en- dorsement of desegregation of working facilities, equal and fair employment practices, and equal pay for equal work in companies doing business in South Africa. IN ADDITION, University Counsel Roderick Daane said his report to the Regents on alternatives to divestment will not be completed in time for next week's Board meeting. However, he said a status report outlining the finan- cial considerations of such alternatives actions will appear on the May 17-18 agenda. Representatives from Black and Decker Manufacturing Company - the other company whose employment practices in South Africa have been questioned by the University - have not met with University officials, although Brinkerhoff said such a meeting is being arranged. A report analyzing results from this planned discussion will be presented to the Regents at their June meeting, accor- ding to Brinkerhoff. IN MARCH 1978, at the request of the Regents, 47 letters were sent to cor- porations in which the University is a stockholder asking the companies to define their commitment to the Sullivan Principles and endorsement of "political, economic and social rights for all of the corporations' employees in South Africa." All but two of these corporations - Searle and Black and Decker - responded in what the University said 'Basically, I now feel Searle has an equiva- lent policy to the Sulli- van Principles.' -James Brinkerhoff University Vice-President was a satisfactory manner. Searle and Black and Decker gave tardy responses, and initially Brinkerhoff recommended the Regents prudently sell common stock shares of both companies. However, at the April Regents meeting, Brinkerhoff suggested the University only divest from Black and Decker, whose response to University inquiry was vague and did not indicate that the corporation had "within a reasonable period of time taken reasonable steps to effectuate the pur- poses" of the University policy, as is See OFFICIAL, Page 16 Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ Perched pumper poses politely From a perch 25 feet up a worker poses while pumping out a well on a construction site at the Ann Arbor waste water treatment plant on Dixboro Road. today RSG openings Rackham Student Government (RSG) has four open seats-one in biological and health sciences, two seats in physical sciences and engineering, and one seat in Humanties. . .
