LSA-SG pulls speaker's funds
By STACEY SHONK
The LSA student government yester-
clay retracted its support for an up-
coming symposium entitled, "Palestine
. Zionism and Racism," after several
4tudents and the director of the Ann Ar-
bor chapter of B'nai B'rith Hillel Foun-
ation complained that LSA-SG should
niot sponsor the event.
LSA-SG President Eric Berman said
that representatives would officially
vote today to ask the Muslim Student
Association, which is holding the sym-
Oosium, to return $100 LSA-SG granted
the group on Oct. 23. But he said
tepresentatives had informally agreed
jesterday to demand the funds be
returned.
BERMAN SAID LSA-SG retracted its
4upport because members of the group
believe the symposium's title
associates Judaism with racism and

'The people who have been offended aren't going

associate it with LSA student government.'

rather of the country of Israel.
"Many Jews do not agree with the
policies of the state (of Israel) . .. Many
Jews are opposed to Zionism," he said.
"We are only trying to present an alter-
native view of the problems in
Palestine. We think this campus is an
appropriate place for this to occur."
SLOCUM SAID that no one from LSA-
SG had called his group to inform them
that the support had been retracted.
Berman said that several students
called LSA-SG yesterday to complain
after the group posted fliers Monday
which clearly stated that LSA was
sponsoring the symposium. Michael
Brooks, director of the Hillel foundation
on campus, also called to express his
dissatisfaction with LSA sponsoring the
event, Berman said.
Brooks declined to comment on the
situation.

community.
When the Muslim Students
Association made its appeal to LSA-SG
for funding, the group said the sym-
posium would be titled "The Heart of
Palestine."
"If they had submitted for sponsor-
ship under that title, we would never
have supported them in the first place,"
Berman said.
DOUG SLOCUM, president of the
Muslim group, said the title was
changed to betterreflect the topics
which speakers submitted for the sym-
posium lectures. The content of the
symposium was not changed after the
group asked LSA-SG for funds.
Slocum said he did not consider the
symposium criticism of Judiasm, but

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
AP) - At least six blacks were killed
yesterday in clashes with police,
raising to 16 the death toll in two days of
protests that stemmed from a general
ftrike in black townships near the
capital.
Rioters set fires and threw stones,
nd police responded with tear gas,
rubber bullets and blasts of birdshot,
id sent hundreds of officers on ar-
tnored car patrols in Tembisa, east of
Johannesburg. Seven people have
perished in Tembisa during the two-day
$trike.
HUNDREDS OF thousands of black

Monday in Transvaal province, South
Africa's industrial center, in what
organizers said was an unexpectedly
successful demonstration of black
discontent with the white government
and its policies of racial separation.
Employers said the boycott eased only
slightly yesterday.
Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Jeffer-
son said that in addition to the dead, at
least 14 people were injured yesterday
and more than 40 arrested in the town-
ships.
He said a black woman ws killed in a
stoning incident in Kwazakele, near
Port Elizabeth, 450 miles south of
Johannesburg; another ws killed in
S.
Afric
Daveyton, east of Johannesburg; two
black men were killed during crowd at-
tacks on Tembisa, and two other black
men were killed when police fired
shotgun blasts at a crowd throwing
stones at Katlehong, near Tembisa.
JEFFERSON COULD NOT confirm
a South African Press Association
report, quoting hospital sources, that a
17-year-old youth died of bullet wounds
and nine people were wounded by gun-
fire in Atteridgeville, near Pretoria.
Vincent Brett of the Association of
Chambers of Commerce said the
boycott appeared to be about 50 percent
effective in Pretoria and Johan-
nesburg, and in industrial towns esat of
Johannesburg.
an strike
In the region south of Johannesburg,
90 percent of the workers went on
strike, he said, but nearly all employees
reported to work west of the city, in an
area including Soweto, the largest
black township.
THE STRIKE ws due to end yester-
day, but Brett said further violence
could frighten workers into staying
home.
Police spokesmen gave few riot
details and reporters were barred from
trouble spots.
Crowds of youths attacked buses and
cars, apparently trying to intimidate
workers, but the incidents were scat-
tered.
