The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 19, 1986 - Page 5 MSU students build anti-apartheid shanty EAST LANSING (AP) - A ramshackle shanty in front of Michigan State University's ad- ministration building is a symbol of opposition to South Africa's policy of racial segregation, said critics who erected the shanty. The shanty was hammered together Monday in an attempt to persuade the Michigan State University Foundation, a university fund-raising entity, to get rid of its $500,000 in investments in companies doing business in South Africa. "We're trying to get to their (foundation board members') conscience," said Ken Harrow, a Michigan State humanities pro- fessor who said the foundation needs to realize divestiture has support on campus. PROTESTER Shawn Neville, a junior, said, "It will be visible for 10 days - it will get some interest going on campus." The foundation will review its investments in the spring, said Michigan State University Pres- ident John DiBiaggio, a foundation member. "I think divestiture has to be seriously considered if South Africa doesn't rapidly take action to change its system of government," DiBiaggio said. "I think that's what we're all hoping for." Michigan State divested itself of South African investments in 1978. The foundation, which collects private donations to the university, is a separate legal entity, officials said. Shuttle test ends prematurely Associated Press Newcomer Edward Perkins arrives yesterday to begin work as the first black American Ambassador to South Africa, a day after the white-led government rebuked the United States by rejecting an official visa request. Perkins made no comment to reporters at Jan Smuts Airport in Johannesburg beyond saying he was "glad to be in South Africa." City faes homeless problem CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)-A practice countdown with five astronauts aboard space shuttle Atlantis ended yesterday 31 seconds short of a simulated engine ignition after problems developed with computer software. Despite the problems, said NASA spokesman Jim Ball, "it is considered to be a successful test." Most of the problems stemmed from part of the software written especially for the test that wouldn't have been used in a real launch, he said. The exercise, which included five astronauts who flew the last successful shuttle mission, was to have ended with a mock engine ignition, followed by an engine failure and shutdown to give the crew and launch teams experience handling an emergency. (Continued from Page 1) Randy Skeete of the Salvation Army said the city estimates conservatively that there are 250 homeless in the city. The Salvation Army shelter, Arbor House, only admits 18 bed spaces, and the other a 420 W. Huron St. is only allowed to admit 50. "If they really really wanted to address it (the lack of affordable housing in Ann Arbor), they would allocate monies to address the problem of low-income housing," King said. William Hampton, assistant director of community develpment for the city, said a lack of affordable housing is a definite problem. Randy Skeets of the Salvation Army, a social worker for the shelter, said he hopes the program will sensitize people to the fact that there is an acute progblem with the homeless, since there is no affordable housing in the city for them. Engineers were concerned the test there. software problem might cause The rehearsal was aimed at additional troubles in the final 31 maintaining launch team sharpness seconds when the computer controls in the long flightless period since the countdown.
