Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY ursday, May 5, 1977 'U' to support Mobil policy contiened rmmP Pa_; P1 proposal "a short term deci- sion," and said he would raise the issue again when the Treas- ury Department report is final- ly released. Assistant Profe sor of Politi- cal Science Joel Samoff, an ex- pert on southern African af- fairs, believes, "The Univer- sity's holdings of Mobil are not so substantial as to force a change in Mobil policy." But Samoff adds, "It would be a major symbolic step for the University to announce it will not support or hold stock in a corporation which violates inter- national sanctions." "IF THE Universitv were a private shareholder you would commend them for holding stock that delivers good returns. But the University must use so- cial criteria as opposed to eco- nomic criteria," in deciding on what to invest public money in, Satnoff said. According to the Church group, their primary concern is whether Mobil Oil is helping to prolong the rule of the white supremist government in Rho- desia by providing badly need- ed petroleum to keep the gov- ernment in power. Rhodesia has no oil inside her borders and must import all oil that is used in the country. In support of their proposal the Church group says, "Im- ported petroleum products are currently providing the govern- ment with the means of waging war against the African ma- iority of the population striving for representative government." Without oil imports, they say, "the Smith regime could not long continue to block every ef- fort to achieve a negotiated set- tlement of this conflict which affects not only Rhodesians but the prospects for securing peacefstl change in southern Africa without a dangerous con- frontation between world pow- ers. As Mobil shareholders, we can help end the current vio- lence by preventing any indi- rect provision of Mobil products to the Salisbury regime." MOBIL OPPOSES the church proposal, claiming it has al- ready checked into the matter and found no violation of the law. Mobil officials admit their inquiry into their affiliates op- erations in South Africa and Rhodesia cannot be complete be- cause they were not able to speak freely with employes and have no access to their files. South Africa and Rhodesia both have instituted an Officials Sec- rets Act which prohibits the release of information which would jeopardize national secur- ity.

The state Legislature has asked for an advisory opinion from the State Supreme Court, but the justices have delayed a decision for a year. "The Court is simply not mov- ing on this advisory opinion," Bullard charged. The court's inaction and a general provision passed by the legislature earlier this year prompted Bullard to propose that the bond issue be put be- fore Michigan voters. The general provision was sponsored by Rep. Ray Karass of Monroe. The bill sought to end the state's funding of any further hospital expansion. The bill was designed to end con- struction of hospitals that the state considers unnecessary.

CLUB MEMBERS meet each Saturday and Sunday at Base Line Lake, about 17 miles north- west of Ann Arbor, "The lake is a pretty good size for us," Sell explained.

The club is not just a fair weather organization, however "It is pretty much a year- round thing," Sell said.
