HE SAID the proposal ignores the
harm that would be inflicted "precisely
on the black majority whom the ad-
vocates of boycotts, embargoes and
sanctions purportedly want to help.
At the same time that Shultz urged
the U.S. not to divest, South African of-
ficials criticized the U.S. government
for being too stringent about improving
race relations in South Africa.
In Capetown foreign minister Koelof
"Pik" Botha yesterday condemned
U.S. remarks on his government's
plans to repeal law banning interracial
sex and marriage, saying Washington
expects too much from South Africa.

"We cannot escape the impression
that the United States refuses to judge
South Africa within the framework of
the African continent," Botha said
during a news conference.
The minority white-ruled gover-
nment accepted recommendations
Monday to repeal a 1949 law against
mixed marriages and a 1957 ban on
sexual relations between whites and
people of other races - key legal com-
ponents of the segrationist policies
known as apartheid.

By NANCY DRISCOLL
People generally think of hazardous
waste as barrels of ooze dumped by in-
dustry, but old cans of paint and other
chemical products used in the
household are just as dangerous and
nearly as prevalent.
In Washtenaw County alone, 4,000
tons of hazardous materials are dum-
ped by households every year, making
households second to industry as a
source of chemical pollution, according
to the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor.
THE CENTER, along with the School
of Natural Resources and the
Washtenaw County Health Depar-
tment, sponsored a two-day conference
on household hazardous waste at the
Chrysler Center. The conference, which
ended yesterday, was the first of its
kind in the county.
Household products such as furniture
strippers, degreasers, and turpentine
contain solvents, fast drying chemical
substances which dissolve into other
solutions which can be carcinogenic, ac-
ording to information provided at the con-

ference by the Milwaukee-based
Citizens for a Better Environment.
Breathing vapors or accidentally
drinking the solvents could prove fatal.
Moreover, if these substances are
disposed of improperly, they could
damage the environment. Pesticides,
for example, decompose and may ac-
cumulate in the soil. And pesticides,
fertilizer, and spilled oil and grease
may wash off yards into storm drains
and streams, polluting ground and sur-
face water, said conference speaker
David Galvin, a planner for the Seattle
metro government.
BUT UNLIKE industry, households

are not regulated by the government
for disposal of toxic waste. One of the
purposes of the conference was to look
at ways communities could control
local disposal.
Galvin said that the public must be
educated on the dangers of toxic
chemicals. He told Monday's audience
that too often consumers fail to read the
labels of household chemicals for har-
mful ingredients. And he said most
people don't understand the distinction
between "Danger," "Warning," and
"Caution" - varying degrees of
toxicity which are marked on product
labels.

president for administration for teh UC
system, said it was impossible to com-
plete a report on divestiture in time for
presentation in May.
"I don't think the regents will have a
debate in May. I don't think they feel
they want to have a discussion on this
issue until they are in receipt of the
treasurer's report," he said.
In regard to the demand that the ad-
ministration drop charges against the
protesters, he said, "This is now a mat-
ter between the district attorney and

the campus authorities. The University
will not take sides, one way or the
other."
DESPITE THE arrests the students
were committed to keeping the rally
going. At noon, between 2,000 and 4,000
gathered to hear a speech by Mario
Savio. At 2:45, at least 100 students
remained on the steps.
"We are going to stay out here until
the administration lets the student have
some input into deciding how our
money is spent," said Ross Hammond,
a member of the student senate. "The

administration doesn't own the univer-
sity. The people of California own the
university, the administration just
manages it.
"I think they forget that a lot in this
hall."
University Chancellor Ira Michael
Heyman told the students in a warning
letter on Monday that "events in South
Africa continue to show the cruelty and
the shame of apartheid. About that
there is no disagreement in our com-
munity."

"Campuses should be places where
people go for educational training," he
said. "They should not be playgrounds
for alcohol use."
Rice pointed to statistics that show
that the leading cause of death for 16- to
20-year-olds is alcohol-related traffic
accidents. He acknowledged that ad-
vertising of alcohol isn't the only cause

of irresponsible drinking, but it "con-

Commissioner Maxine Perry said a
