I S. African Sgovernment ignores protests The Michigan Dily - Friday, December 7, 1984 - Page 3 Decision postponed on Brown protesters JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - The government ignores the daily demonstrations outside its Washington embassy, but the state-run radio has called the protesters "crack- pots" and pro-government newspapers say foreigners should keep out of South African affairs. South African groups that oppose apartheid, the white-minority gover- nment's system of racial separation, say they welcome anything that attrac- ts attention to their nation's 22 million blacks. But they say Americans have a short attention span, that the current U.S. spotlight on the demonstrations will fade and the lot of the blacks will be unchanged. Corrections The Michigan Student Assembly Tuesday endorsed an open letter to the University community opposing the reorganization of the dental school's minority recruitment and retention program. The letterwas written by a "member of the Black Dental Students Association. A story in Wednesday's Daily incorrectly stated that MSA black student researcher Roderick Linzie wrote the letter. Total black enrollment in the dental school is currently 6.5 percent and the 1983-84 entering class has 7 percent black enrollment, according to figures from the Office of the Registrar. A story in Wednesday's Daily incorrectly reported these figures. Lee Jones, program recruiter, coun- selor, and admissions officer holds a part-time position in the dental school. A story in Wedneday's Daily incorrec- tly reported that he holds a full-time appointment. Anne Marie Coleman works at Guild House. A story appearing in yester- day's Daily misidentified her. THE GOVERNMENT has made no official comment on the U.S. demon- strations that began Nov. 21 to protest apartheid, under which blacks cannot vote or move freely about in the nation governed by 5 million whites. Twenty-five Americans, including nine congressmen, have been arrested in the protests but charges against most have been dropped. A U.S. diplomatic source who spoke on condition that he not be identified speculated that the last thing the South African government wants is the additional attention that trials would bring. At issue is President Reagan's policy of "construction engagement" with southern Africa. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Chester Crocker says the United States is quietly urging South Africa to reform. POLICE NOTES Valuables stolen About $1,300 worth of valuables was stolen from a residence in the 1500 block of Pear, on Ann Arbor's north side, betwen 7:45 p.m. Tuesday and 3:00 a.m. Wednesday, according to Ann Ar- bor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala. Police believe the burgler used a key to gain entry and steal clothing, kitchen equipment, a jewelry box, and scuba diving gear. Intruder startled Another break-in occured in the 800 block of Green Street Wednesday at 2:15 a.m., Suomala reported. The intruder forced open the door but fled empty-handed when discovered by an occupant, Suomala said. -Mollv Melby By KERY MURAKAMI A decision on whether any disciplinary action will be taken again- st the 63 Brown University students who participated in a rally against the Cen- tral Intelligence Agency last month will be delayed until late this afternoon, a spokesman said yesterday. Brown University's Council on Student Affairs will not announce their decision on the 62 undergraduates in- volved in the protest until they decide about the one graduate student in- volved, said Brucie Harvey from the in- formational services department. HARVEY SAID the council, which made its decision on the un- dergraduates yesterday afternoon, would deliberate the graduate student's case this afternoon at 4 p.m. and an- nounce their verdict at about 6 p.m. The council is usually made up of students, faculty, and administrators, but the protesters decided against having students on the committee because of rumors that they were discussing the punishment before the hearing. The protesters are accused of "disrupting the exercise of others of their basic rights to which they are en- titled on campus," a charge which tops the list of rules in the student handbook. Violation warrants suspension or dismissal, Harvey said. According to Juliet Brodie, a Brown senior involved in the protest, about fif- teen minutes into a CIA recruitment meeting last month, the protesters blew a whistle and tried to make a citizens arrest on two CIA recruiters. IF SHE IS dismissed from the university for her actions, Brodie said, "It's worth it." She said that the protesters were merely trying to uphold the law by attempting to stop what the consider illegal actions in Nicaragua. But last night, protesters felt that they would not be sever 3ly punished for the action. "It would be a travesty if we're expelled," said Rachael Phipps, a Brown senior. "It would be absurd for us to be punished for trying to stop the CIA's heinous and illegal activities." Todd Wier, a sophomore, said that at the end of the students' hearing early yesterday morning, about 300 students, who had been sitting there for 10 hours, started cheering wildly. WIER SAID that if they're found guilty, there will be a "non-violent student uprising on campus." The university would not rule against them for fear of ruining their liberal image, he added. Other students, though, doubted that they would be acquitted. "It would be hard-pressed for them to find us not guilty," said John Costin, a senior. "They know that people are watching. They don't want to set a precedent that, 'yes, it's okay not to tolerate,' which is a pretty radical stance." COSTIN ADDED that the protesters presented a very strong case at their hearing which lasted from 4 p.m. Wed- nesday to 1:40 a.m. yesterday. The protesters' two main points are that the university has no authority to judge whether their citizen's arrest was valid, and that the CIA meeting violated university rules.

Reagan, Tutu meet today (Continued from Page 1) have to be more of a focal point of our foreign policy.. ." Sims had no immediate comment on the Lugar letter but said the ad- ministration did not object to the House numbers' letter to Fourie. The ambassador said he is "still studying" the letter and found meeting with the House members to be "con- structive." In all, 28 people, including nine mem- bers of Congress, have invited arrest on misdemeanor charges outside the em- bassy during almost-daily marches resumbling the non-violent protests of the civil rights era 20 yearstago. Marches have also been staged over the past week outside South African consulates in New York, where 16 people have been arrested; Boston, where two people courted detention; Seattle, and Los Angeles. 1 It's the choice of the coaches1 I1 JERRY ERIKSON'S I COACH AND FOUR * BARBER SHOP I Appointments Available - 668-8669 1 $1 OFF ALL 19.00 HAIRCUTS with this coupon only 806 S.
