;its loans with foreign bankers this
week. The bankers recalled the loans
oat the beginning of the state, of
,;emergency last July, and South
Africa refused to repay the loans until
negotiations could take place. "They
~want to give a sign to the foreign
bankers that everything's under con-
'trol. That's why the (emergency) was
lifted now, not two weeks ago or in the
future," Worger said. He added that
the measures did seem to be convin-
cing the bankers.
Botha's newest pledge is the latest
in a series of empty gestures, said
graduate student Barbara Ransby,
leader of the Free South Africa Coor-
dinating Committee. "The Botha
regime has consistently tried to give
the appearance of change. There is no
fundamental change," she said.
WORGER SAID lifting the state of
emergency is only a cosmetic change.
"It's already a part of South African
law that they can arrest people
without charging them and bringing
them to trial," he said.
According to Worger, Botha has not
taken any serious steps toward con-
ciliating South Africans. Such moves,
he said, would include negotiations
with Bishop Desmond Tutu or im-
prisoned black rights leader Nelson
Mandela.
"It was only a week ago Tutu went
to meet with Botha. And Botha said he
was too busy that day," Cooper said.
Worger and Ransby both noted that
unrest in South Africa is increasing.

Said history Prof. Fred Cooper:
"They've killed more people in the
past few days than they have in a
while."
RANSBY said that the current
upheaval of the African people has
sustained itself for a long time and
thus increases the chances for
change. "On the one hand, things are
getting worse," such as the increased
violence, Ransby said. "At the same,
time, the prospects for fundamental
change have never been greater."
The intensity of upheaval has
varied and runs in cycles, Ransby ex-
plained. The current wave of discon-
tent, however, has lasted longer than
others, she said.
For example, an upheaval in Shar-
pville in 1960 - in which 60 people were
shot and Nelson Mandela was jailed -
lasted for only a few weeks, while a
1976 student demonstration in Soweto
lasted for months. The current unrest
has lasted more than a year.
ALTHOUGH Worger says the
periods of violence are getting closer
together and are more violent, he does
not forsee a revolution evolving from
the current wave of discontent. "The
police are clearly in control," he said.
"They've isolated violence in the
black townships. Apart from an
episode, there's been no violence in
the white community."
Even though the police have con-
tained violence, it will erupt again at
higher levels until the people are
satisfied, Worger said. "Because
there have been no major reforms,
discontent will erupt again."
Cooper traced the current wave of
protest back to industrial strikes in
1972. "The strikes were in the
manufacturing and dockyards and
began a long period of intensified ac-
tion by African workers," he said.
According to Worger, discontent
and instability have permeated many
levels of black life.
"There's basic instability in home
life. That adds to the unrest, people
just don't like their way of life,"
Worger said.
BECAUSE many blacks are
migrant workers, "most Africans in
South Africa don't have a normal
family life. The family is split for a
significant part of the year," he said.
According to Worger, South African
whites don't realize how serious black
discontent is. Because the gover-
nment has been able to isolate the
violence in black townships, "Whites
don't see the demonstrations, the
people being shot. They think it's a
problem created by foreign newsmen
or communist agitators, but not
something wrong in the roots of
Africa. They don't recognize the
situation," he said.
"People I knowAin South Africa -
the normal rnan in the street type of
person - they feel fundamental
changes have been made. I don't
believe it. And the bulk of the South
African population doesn't believe it,"
he said.
"There is a widespread feeling that
it's no longer a state of emergency,
everything is okay," he said.
Though the whites may not know
what is going on, Cooper says the
blacks do. "What's revealing is the
failure of (the South African gover-
nment in their attempt at
supression of news. Blacks are aware
of what other blacks are doing," he
said.
" The collision has already oc-
curred. It's ongoing. I doubt it can be
averted," Cooper said.

Bill to give
new parents
an unpaid 18
week leave
WASHINGTON (UPI) - House
members introduced a bill yesterday
proposing a national parental leave
policy providing both men and women
up to 18 weeks unpaid leave and job
guarantees when their children are
born.
With half the women in the workfor-
ce now the mothers of children under
3, a coalition of lawmakers said a
national policy is long overdue to give
working men and women job security
and time off to care for their babies.
"IT IS NO longer 'leave it to
Beaver' time," said Rep. Patricia
Schroeder (D-Colo.) referring to the
classic TV family model of the
working father and mother at home.
"The superwoman has collapsed,
collapsed of exhaustion," Schroeder
said. "The workforce has changed.
It's time the workplace changed."
Schroeder noted the United States is
the only industrialized nation with no
guaranteed parental leave. Other
countries, including Canada, Italy,
Germany and Sweden, offer workiing
parents time off and job security
when their children are born.
Rep. William Clay (D- Mo.) chair-
man of a House subcommittee on
labor-management relations said the
bill, the Parental and Medical Leave
Act of 1986, fills a critical gap for
Americans in the workplace.
"Over the past 20 years, there has
been a dramatic increase in the num-
ber of families with two working
parents. . . . Regardless of how one
feels about it, the number of families
with two working parents will grow,"
Clay said.
