authoritarian governments," Hawes
,said.
However, Hawes is not overly op-
timistic, because "in other countries,
governments are more willing to use
;repression."
Hawes cites the high turnout of the
iFilipino people in protest of the
'fraudulent elections held by Marcos.
"When you get hundreds of thousands
of people in the streets, the repressive
machinery cannot work," he said.
PERCY HERRERO, an LSA junior
from the Phillipines said he did expect
some kind of a revolution to occur in
the Philippines if the elections proved
fraudulent, but he did not expect a
;non-violent one. "I was really sur-
,prised and really thankful that it was
not bloody," he said.
"The power of the people was really
manifested in this scenario. It can
make a lot of impact on countries like
South Africa. It establishes a
precedent that people are a lot
stronger than their dictators,"
Herrero said.
Political science Prof. Harold
Jacobson points to this revolution as
an example of the general movement
in the last few years of countries shif-
ting towards democracy. "It will have
the impact of strengthening and
speeding up this process. You see it in
Argentina and Brazil, and somewhat
now in Korea. It validates the con-
sistent U.S. position since World War
II to support free elections."

smooth transition to power does not
foreshadow the ease she will face in
carrying out her role. The country is

military reform.
Right now Aquino needs to use her
popular mandate to reform the
military, and clean up the police for-
ce, said sociology prof. Gayl Ness. Af-
ter that, Ness said, Aquino will have
to restore economic life to the urban
centers and the rural population.
Ness predicts support for the new
government from the outside will help
stabilize the currency and to pump
money back into the Philippines. He
thinks the World Bank and Inter-
national Monetary Fund will be more
supportive of the Aquino government
than of the Marcos regime.
IN HER first steps toward reform,
Aquino has begun to free political
prisoners held in Filipino jails, in-
cluding the leaders of the communist
insurgency. She has also moved to
retire 23 generals who stayed on un-
der the Marcos regime past the age of
retirement. Aquino is also advocating
a cease-fire with the communist-in-
surgents and purging the government
of Marcos supporters and regional
warlords.
However, the Aquino government is
a coalition which includes former
Marcos supporters. Defense Minister
Ponce Enrile, who defected to the
Aquino camp on February 22 and Vice
President Salvador Doy Laurel were
both supporters of Marcos, but switched
when they became dissatisfied with the
Marcos government.
Enrile is reported to have been on a
list of people Marcos was planning to
arrest upon reclaiming the presiden-
cy, since Enrile was part of the
reformist movement within the
military.
"Enrile will have a conservative in-
fluence in the cabinet," Hawes said
"He will be a source of tension in the
near future. He has pursued a line
vigorous in fighting against the com-
munist insurgency and will try to
maintain the loyalists appartus."
Hawes said that 'Enrile will not
challenge Aquino now because "she
has the mandate of the people, but he
is a man the Aquino people will have
to watch very carefully."
But according to Filipino Journalist
-in-Residence Melinda Quinotas de
Jesus, "It is too early to see if a
weakening compromise has taken
place. Anyone who does not plan to
play the game by her rules would be
watchful at this moment. Everyone
would observe her popular support
before playing against her."

protest
apartheid
From The Associated Press
About 200 students at Smith College
in Massachusetts ended a seven-day
sit-in yesterday after the school
agreed to discuss South Africa-related
investments, while four Brown
University students continued an an-
ti-apartheid fast for a fourth day.
In Pennsylvania, Swarthmore
College said yesterday that the
decision it announced a day earlier to
sell holdings in companies doing
business in South Africa was con-
ditional, with divestment to occur if
apartheid is not dismantled and if
divestment is financially prudent.
In Northampton, Mass., the Smith
students abandoned their occupation
of a campus administration building
after school trustees agreed to discuss
the investments in companies doing
business in South Africa, but stopped
short of agreeing to divest the hold-
ings.
