Mandela, jailed since 1962 for helping plan the African National Congress' anti-government guerrilla campaign, was greeted by a thunderous cheer when he and his wife, Winnie, walked hand in hand through the gateway of Victor Verster prison in Paarl, 35 miles from Cape Town. Scores of policemen stood guard in the bright sun- shine, and a small army of photographers and television crew from across the world frenetically took the first pictures of Mandela as a free man. The Mandelas gave clenched-fist salutes to the hun- dreds of supporters who had waited for hours outside, many of them-waving green, gold and black ANC flags. Mandela appeared solemn and dignified as he and his wite walked to a white BMW sedan and climbed in. He broke into a broad smile as the car set off slowly toward Cape Town in a police-escorted motorcade. "Comrades and fellow South Africans, I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all," Mandela told tens of thousands of cheering supporters who thronged outside City Hall, many getting their first look at the African National Congress leader. "I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you the people," Mandela said. "We have waited too long for our freedom," Mandela told the crowd. He said that until the proper climate was created for peaceful negotiations, the armed struggle was still a policy of the ANC. Cm munit "The factors that (caused the need for armed strug- gle)... exist today," Mandela said. "We have no options but to continue." "We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement would be created." Mandela spoke of "my long and lonely years in prison." "I am content that your pain and suffering was far greater than my own," he said, adding that he would make further statements after consulting his ANC com- rades. "There must be an end to white monopoly of politi- cal power and a fundamental restructuring of our politi- cal and economic systems to ensure that the inequalities of apartheid are addressed," Mandela said. The ANC leader called President F.W. de Klerk a man "of integrity," and called on the white community to "join us in the safety of a new South Africa. The freedom movement is a political home for you, too." "Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it pos- sible for me to be here today," Mandela told the adoring crowd. "I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands." Within an hour of the release, as Mandela's motor- cade arrived at City Hall, violence broke out. As the clashes erupted, some anti-apartheid leaders told the crowd to disperse, but many remained to hear Mandela's voice for the first time in nearly three decades. Army units equipped with tear gas were de- ployed nearby, and police helicopters flew overhead. First aid workers and journalists said one person was killed and more than 100 people injured when riot po- lice fired shotguns after groups of See MANDELA, page 2 rejoices African National C Varster prison.

Reporter Beating drums, singing songs, and dancing arm in arm, members of the Ann ,Arbor community con- verged on the Diag last night to cel- ebrate yesterday's release of former South African political prisoner Nel- son Mandela. "Our struggle has reached a new level because our comrade Nelson is finally free to walk the streets in Africa," shouted Paquetta Palmer, a member of the Free Southern Africa steering committee and the Washte- naw County Coalition Against Apartheid. The two anti-apartheid groups organized the celebration along with the United Coalition Against Racism. Speakers stressed that. Mandela's release was the result of the people's struggle in South Africa, and that the event should not be looked upon as an initiative for change by Presi- dent F.W. De Klerk and the national government. "When we look at the situation in. South Africa, we know the gov- ernment has been and will be the en- emy of the Blacks," UCAR steering committee member Pam Nadasen told the crowd. "When the De Klerks are replaced by the Mandela's in the presidential palace, then we can cele- brate victory in South Africa." Another UCAR steering commit- tee member, Barbara Ransby, echoed Nadasen's sentiment. "We don' come here to praise the South African government." "We don't see (Mandela's release as any kind of humanitarian gestur by anybody," Ransby added. "W know that the price of freedom is costly. Nelson Mandela has pai with 27 years of his life." In addition to speakers from th Ann Arbor community, Hiskia Si nartz, a Namibian student studying in Detroit, addressed the crowd.

She surrendered herself to the Westchester County Courthouse in White Plains on Monday and was subsequently re- leased on $250,000 bond.

On June 20, 1984, Paul Laven and Wendy Siegel (two University grad- uates) requested a restraining order be placed on Warmus on the grounds she was harassing the couple. Laven had previously broken up with Warmus and become engaged to Siegel. Warmus allegedly made threats she would kill Siegel if the two got married. Afraid Warmus would interfere with their July wed- ding, Laven and Siegel requested the restraining order.

The Michigan victory, coupled y with Minnesota's 73-72 defeat of the Boilermakers yesterday, moved the Wolverines to within only one game of first-place Purdue (9-2, 17-4).

Lt's hope at the end of Bill would allow Michigan colleges to create police forces by Mike Sobel Daily Crime Reporter A recent state bill would give Michigan's universities the power to create their own armed police de- partments. The Ann Arbor Police, the Uni- versity administration, and the De- partment of Public Safety, which is comprised for the most part of un- armed security guards, have disagreed on the potential value of the bill. House Bill No. 5165, introduced by Richard Young (D-Dearborn Heights) and Robert DeMars (D-Lin- coln Park), would "empower the governing boards of control of pub- lic 4-year institutions of higher edu- cation to grant certain powers and authority to their public safety offi- cers and require those public safety Ctff ,,arc to rn ant o,'an en iar c " the state." As opposed to the nine Ann Ar- bor Police officers assigned to the University campus, most Campus security officers can only make citi- zens' arrests. Pifer and Campus Se- curity Director Leo Heatley are the only two deputized officers at the University. "Every four-year University (in Michigan) has police officers depu- tized except the U of M," Pifer said. He added that he supports the bill because it "would give the officers the authority to do what needs to be done." Campus Security Sergeant Vern Baisdan said he also supports the bill because, in view of a recent rise in campus crime, there is a need for in- creased security. in tune to student needs than the Ann Arbor Police or the County Sh- eriff's office. "Campus Security has more to do with the rights of the students than local police," he said. University Regent Thomas Roach said, although there has not been much discussion among the re- gents about the bill, he feels its ef- fects are unclear. "The regents are constitutionally autonomous. We have the right to adopt whatever rules we want to. I don't know what the bill does that we can't do," he said. Roach went on to say he had mixed feelings about a University police department but could see the possible need for one.
