FSACC marks shanty's
first year on Diag.
By WENDY LEWIS
In the year since the shanty was
built on the Diag, it has been the
center of candlelight vigils and the
object of arson; the launchpad of
student activism and the focus of
repeated vandalism.
"The first one has become sort
of an institution," said Anthony
Vavasis, an LSA senior and
member of the Free South Africa
Coordinating Committee.
F S A C C members built the
structure March 21, 1986, on the
26th anniversary of the Sharpeville
Massacre - a week-long riot which
began as a nonviolent protest
against the requirement for carrying
passes and ended with the death of
about 180 black South Africans.
FSACC members built another
shanty this week to commorate
Two Weeks of Action Against
Apartheid and Racism. The group
wants to rekindle interest in the
apartheid issue.
"We felt that the issues in South
Africa are being forgotten," said
David Fletcher, a LSA junior.
A L T H O U G H the
commemoration will end with a
march on April 4 to remember the
assasination of Dr. Martin Luther
King, both shanties will remain.
FSACC members say the structures
will stay until the University
divests the rest of its holdings in
South Africa and apartheid is
abolished.
University groups are required to
obtain a permit from the Student
Organization Development Center
and then register that permit with
the Michigan Student Assembly in
order to build a structure on the
Diag.
Department of Public Safety
Officer Todd Strach said yesterday
that FSACC does not have an
SODC permit. But according to
Vice President for Student Services
Henry Johnson, FSACC is allowed
to keep the shanties "not by permit,
but by permission."
"Since it is still there, the
administration does not see it as a
problem," Strauch said. He said
public safety is not planning to
dismantle the shanty.
"In South Africa people live in
these things, " said Emily Devine,
a LSA junior. "When they are torn
down, which they are, people have
no where to go. Here we have a
choice."
Many students have complained
that the shanties are inappropriate
for the Diag, although they feel the
issues are important.
"Sure its an eyesore," Devine
said, "But that's the point."

that the new shanty might have to be dismantled since the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee had not
obtained a permit to build. But yesterday Henry Johnson, vice president of student services, assured the group
that the shanty can remain on the Diag.

The projects include an upcoming
bake sale in April, assisting in the
