The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, October 14, 1987- Page 3 ANC speaker asks for support By VICKI BAUER African Nation Congress repre- sentative Shuping Coapoge described South African apartheid to an audi- ence of more than 60 people gathered on the Diag yesterday for a rally to honor political prisoners. In a brief speech, Coapoge, a member of the ANC's mission to the United Nations, traced the his- tory of South Africa's system from 1910, when the nation's constitution declared inequality between Blacks and whites, to the present day. Coapoge described major political milestones from the 1931 Civilized Law and Labor Act, prohibiting Blacks from legally organizing labor unions, to the 1976 confrontation between the South African Army and school children. Coapoge was the final speaker at the event, sponsored by the Free South Africa Coordinating Com- mittee and the United Coalition Against Racism. Before the event, as an introduc- tion to the speakers, LSA juniors Renuka Uthappa and Cristina Antworth danced to Peter Gabriel's song "Biko," about the political prisoner who was brutally tortured and killed in South Africa in 1977. Mahlangu a sister school, Paige said, and set up an exchange pro- gram. The group also is going to send academic and medical supplies. The University administration has not been involved in the sister- school arrangements. 'We have to demand aid to the front line; we have to demand the recognition of the African National Congress.' - Pam Nadasen, FSACC member FSACC member Pam Nadasen condemned the Reagan Administra- tion's policies toward South Africa. Nadasen called for U.S. support of sanctions against South Africa and further divestment by U.S. busi-{ nesses. Nadasen stressed the importance of immediate action. "We have to demand aid to the front line; we have to demand the recognition of the African National Congress," she said. The African National Congress ist an alternative government that has been banned by the South African government. Its most famous political prisoner, perhaps, is Nelson Mandela, who has been in jail since 1964. UCAR member Kimberly Smith compared apartheid in South Africa to racism in the United States and concluded that "We are living apartheid American style." Smith said University students have an obligation to work against apartheid. FSACC member Liz Paige introduced the group's new plan to aid the Solmon Mahlangu Freedom College in Tanzania. The college, consisting of a school and a hospi- tal, was established in 1979 by the ANC to provide students with pri- mary, secondary and post-secondary education. FSACC plans to declare Solmon "Education in South Africa is oppressing the people," Paige said. "People are forced to learn the lan- guage and culture of the people that oppress them... (Solmon Mahlangu) is for people who left South Africa to get a free education; that is a right, not a privilege, for all peo- ple."

Prof. digs for clues -to Michian htory Rent a Car from Econo-Car By CHASE HADDIX A Michigan family was clearing ground in their backyard when they discovered a fire pit. University an- thropologists surveyed the site and found that the hearth, surrounded by stone chips, was thousands of years old. University anthropologists have found that the state's "backyard" is a cache of clues to its past. Ann Arbor itself claims 30 to 40 known sites, some as old as 7,000 years, said John O'Shea, associate professor of anthropology and associate curator for the Great Lakes Range division of the University's Museum of An- thropology. "Before I came here, I had no idea that Michigan had anything to of- fer," said Dawn Haverstock, a third- year graduate student in the depart- ment of anthropology. Haverstock had worked on sites in Mexico, but came to the University to work on her doctorate. "There is an amazing wealth of pottery here," she said. Most of the city's sites are near the flood plain of the Huron River, while others are near smaller bodies of water. Many Ann Arbor streets, such as Liberty Street, are aligned on old Indian roads, O'Shea said. O'Shea said the museum has de- veloped criteria for the city planning department; as a free service, the University will survey land before building so a significant site is not destroyed. In addition to five sites outside the city limits, sites near Alpena county have been uncovered in the past four years. In 1984, O'Shea said, a "large, significant site" was discovered near Briarwood Mall. A field team o f University graduate students found a campsite there, dating from A. D. 1000 to 1100. Excavation was done by Michigan State University stu- dents to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest. Under O'Shea's direction, the museum is currently excavating six sites in lower north-eastern Michi- gan on Hubbard Lake. The project, started in 1983, receives about $50,000 from the National Science Foundation. So far, the dig has un- covered settlements of Algonquin speakers, related to the Ottawa tribe. While these date from A.D. 1200 to 1500, sites 8,000 years old have also been found in the region. Digs in Michigan usually turn up broken pottery, clay smoking pipes, chip-stone tools, and firecrack rock used in earth ovens hundreds of years ago. "You're used to finding artifacts every day," said Andy Darling, a second-year graduate student in an- thropology. The artifacts are returned to the museum where they are cata- logued and analyzed. Some become part of the permanent collection, which is used to identify and research materials the come into the labora- tory. "The sites themselves are pretty dense," Haverstock said. "Each square meter has over 1,000 pieces of pottery." Yun Lee, a fourth-year graduate student with a master's in history, said one project he worked on in Michigan had "two to three sites each mile. It's amazing that so many people lived there."
