Sanctions will hurt others, says S. Africa
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - The gover-
nment told the U.S. Congress yesterday that
economic sanctions would impede racial reform in
this country and harm neighboring black nations
more than South Africa.
"It is impossible for the United States to impose
punitive measures against South Africa only.
They will be imposing these measures against the
whole of southern Africa," Deputy Foreign
Minister Louis Nel told reporters.
VIOLENCE continued near Cape Town, where
the year of rage against white-minority rule'
spilled into white neighborhoods for the first time.
About 100 youths of mixed race threw stones and
gasoline bombs at several homes Wednesday
night, and police said at least one white resident
opened fire in response.
Gangs of youths roamed the mixed-race distric-
* ts yesterday, throwing rocks, at police and
soldiers, who answered with rubber bullets and
live ammunition.
Police said officers shot two black youths to
x death Wednesday night in the Cape Town area,
where at least 29 people have been killed in nine.
days, but no deaths were reported yesterday.
NEL'S AIDES said his remarks represented a
major statement by the government, for which the
United States is a major trading partner.
Congress, just back from a summer recess, is ex-
pected to approve a bill that would impose limited
econimic sanctions.
South Africa's currency, the rand, recovered
slightly to 39.85 cents, up from Wednesday's close
of 38 cents and above the record low of 34.80 cents
set Aug. 27. That low prompted the government to
suspend trading for five days on the currency and
stock markets.
The rand was worth more than $1.25 four years
ago. Its current weakness reflects international
worries about the stability of the government after
a year of riot against apartheid, the race
segregation system that guarantees privilege to
South Africa's 5 million whites and denies rights to
its 24 million blacks.
SPEAKING IN Pretoria, Nel said: "The choice
is between sanctions on the one hand and political,
social and.economic progress on the other ...
"Let us be frank. Our neighboring states will
suffer before we do . . . because these measures
will have an impact on the whole of southern
Africa - and South Africa will be better able to
absorb the impact than they.
"Our economy has a greater depth, is more
resilient than theirs. The weaker must inevitably
suffer first."
Most of South Africa's neighboring black
nations trade openly with the government they
regularly attack for its apartheid policies.
'The choice is between
sanctions on one hand and
political, social and
economic progress on the
other...'
- Louis Nel, South Africa
Deputy Foreign Minister
South Africa's role as the linchpin of rail, road
and communications in the region goes back to
colonial days. Its investment capital is important
to several black nations and it employs tens of
thousands of foreign black workers, whose return
home would cause serious economic disruption.

Senator Lana Pollack (D-Ann Ar-
por) perhaps the University's
primary supporter in the
negotiations, said "there's no reason
to believe the legislature would pass
*now what it wouldn't pass only a few
months ago."
"I don't preclude the supplemental
Dean Duderstadt suggested, but I
don't think we're going to go back and
just appropriate more money to the
tUniversity of Michigan's research
fund," Pollack added.
INSTEAD, Pollack said, she will
propose a seperate research fund,
with board members from higher
education, government, and labor, to
* which any public University in the
state could apply for grants.
Though after four years at the
University, most students have lear-
ned to accept the hassle of standing in
line, one can never really feel good
about reaching the end of most lines.
"These lines are so long," said
Dave Williams, a graduate student in
social work, "and the reward for
waiting patiently is to finally end up
spending one's own money."

... pessimistic about funding
Although the details are still sket-
chy, Pollack said she is hoping for a 5
million dollar legislative ap-
propriation, and that she believes
Gov. Blanchard would react
*favorably.
"I'm basically taking a wait-and-
see attitude, but I'm rather skep-
tical," said Sen. William Sederberg
(R-East Lansing),. the chairman of
the senate's higher education sub-
committee.
"They're trying to reconstruct it
(the fund) after the fact," Sederberg
added.
"It's too bad we lost the funding,"
Wise said, "but we're going to have to
Edo what we need to do to regain it."
He said the engineering college still
hopes to get the lab operating when
it's fully constructed, even with much
of the equipment missing.
