The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 21, 1985 -- 3 S. A rican NEW YORK (AP) - Practicing late-night diplomacy halfway around the world, Ted Koppel and. "Nightline" got prominent officials on both sides of the apartheid issue together on the same program - a television dialogue that South African viewers had never witnessed before. In an unprecedented move, the state-run South African Broadcasting Corp. carried the policy clash between Foreign Minister R.F. Botha and Nobel Peace Laureate Bishop Desmond Tutu. The Monday debate was part of a weeklong series of broadcasts from South Africa on ABC's "Nightline." "WHAT'S UNIQUE and unprecedented is that these government officials, for the first time in their lives and in sight of a South African audien- ce, are interacting with adversaries and critics," Koppel said in a telephone interview with The s see apartheid Associated Press from his hotel in Johannesburg Koppel said the fact yesterday. government had actua Koppel said the government agreed to par- available, agreed to joi ticipate in American-style TV journalism because position leaders, and ca its image around the world was taking a beating. state-controlled TV da "How much worse could it get?" he said. ceived notions about the After the first "Nightline" went on the air in Koppel said that Tutu South Africa on Tuesday, a day later than it was ruling white administrat seen in the United States, the liberal Johan- in South African newspap nesburg Star said in an editorial: "At last the ferent when people can h SABC has done, by proxy, what it should have on TV." been doing years ago: debating the issues publicly THE ANCHORMAN sal at summit level." conservative Afrikaner t HELEN SUZMAN, a member of the opposition hand undergone a tota Progressive Federal Party, said, "We are so con- seeing Tutu on TV." ditioned that we actually think that the SABC is During the lively deb; doing us a favor by screening the type of program Tutu, the bishop spoke el that is seen by the rest of the world all the time." and deprivations, includi deba that the South African ally made its officials nt appearances with op- arried the exchanges on shed his major precon- country. and other rivals of the ion are frequently quoted ers, but "the effect is dif- ear his impassioned plea id that "the wife of a very told us that her husband al transformation after bate between Botha and oquently of his exclusions1 ng not having the right to te on TV vote in his own country. "His heart-felt comments have been quoted back to me already so many times," said Koppel. Koppel said the government had not placed any restrictions on ABC's reporting efforts, except that jailed opposition leader Nelson Mandella was not made available to "Nightline." In addition, South African President P.W. Botha would agree only to a taped interview; he would not do it in debate format. His interview will be show tomorrow. Kenneth Walker, a "Nightline" correspondent who is black, was not experiencing any reporting obstacles or hostility, Koppel said. "I know it's an extraordinary distinction, but if you're not white but from another country, you're designated here as an honorary white man."

Union Carbide was not aware of the violations, Anderson said. Van Mynen said four months of inten- se scrutiny, including more than 500 laboratory experiments, revealed water and iron were involved in the chemical reaction sparking the toxic leak. The exact source of the water was not known, he said. The water, which generated the dangerously high temperatures, reac- ted with methyl isocyanate. Above- normal levels of chloroform also played a part in the reaction, Van Mynen said. Board denies sorority's addition plan (Continued from Page 1) emption issue," said Lax. "Just vote for zoning variances." DAVID EVANS of Quinn Evans Ar- chitects, who designed the addition, said the driveway could not be widened because the landscaping the planning commission wants near the house would not fit. Adequate parking was also an issue with the Planning Commission and the neighbors: Currently the plan calls for 13 spaces but this violates two zoning codes. One law states that cars should not come within 10 feet of a house in case a v i car explodes and burns. However, a fire department spokesman told the board before the meeting that the cars would not be close enough to the house to be a hazard. ANOTH.ER zoning law says a 15-foot space between properties, which is called a "bumper," is required in residential areas. "I object to the parking because there is no adequate turnaround in the lot, whichemeans trucks have to back out into the street," said Van Houweling. Since the zoning board rejected the sorority's plans, the group now has to go back to the planning commission with a revised addition plan.
