Millions of Blacks went on strike to protest the assination of South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani. Students mourn slain ANC leader JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)-In an outpouring of Blackrage, millions of workers went on strike yes- terday to protest the slaying of Black leader Chris Hani. Four people were killed and hundreds wounded as Blacks battled police. The worst clash was in the Black township of Soweto, where police fired on marchers outside the main police station. Hospital spokesperson Adri Potgieter said three people died, five were critically wounded and 259 suf- fered minor wounds. Police claimed they fired because protesters were hurling rocks, but wit- nesses said most of the crowd was calm and had started to leave the area. Among the dead was African Na- tional Congress official Sam Ntobane, the black group said. Police and soldiers fired shotguns, rubber bullets and tear gas at looters who rampaged through shops in Cape Town and torched vehicles. A hand grenade exploded and injured 10 sol- diers, and medical officials said a man was killed and about 150 people were wounded in the looting. Looting also broke out in Durban and Pietermaritzburg in Natal province, and in Port Elizabeth to the south. Hani, head of the South African Communist Party and one of theANC's most popular leaders, was assassinated outside his home Saturday. A white right-winger has been charged in the murder. Across much of the country yester- day, mourners expressed their sadness peacefully by attending memorial ser- vices and marches, heeding the ANC's call for a one-day strike. "It was one of the best-attended stayaways ever," saideconomistMiekie Dames. Business groups said as many as 75 percent of the nation's 6 million Black workers were on strike, meaning a possible $160 million loss to the economy. Millions of Blacks went on strike across the country sparking violence and looting in at least two cities to protest the assassination of African National Congress leader Chris Hani. 300 miles ZIMBABWE dependent homelands BOTSWANA within South Africa - 1-Bophuthatswana 300 km 2-Venda Parts of city 3-Transkei deserted SWAZILAN 4-Ciskei NAMIBIA retoria Johannesburg 4f LESOTHO - Whites attacke Durban in Transkeiz, /ndian Ocean Protesters g SOUTH on rampage AFRICA Blacks attack olice. F Cape stations near Tort Town Elizabeth Port Elizabeth by Usa Dines Emotion-chargedstudents crowded nto Robert Hayden Lounge in West Engineering yesterday to pay tribute to slain African National Congress (ANC) leader Chris Hani. The memorial was sponsored by the African StudentAssociation, Center for Afroamerican and African Studies, and the Ella Baker-Nelson Mandela Center for Anti-Racist Education . 4Iani, the head of the South African Wcmmunist Party and a popular ANC leader, was on the negotiating team aimed at ending apartheid. He was al- legedly shot in his driveway by an anti- communist fanatic. Rev.M. Nyathi, aDetroit-arealeader who spoke at the memorial, admitted Hihi's death was a setback, but stressed the strength of the ANC. "'Each time they kill one leader, five more stand into the place to take up the lack. Our spirits are not dampened, our commitment is no less than what it was," he said. In addition to other speakers, the memorialincludedasigning of the South African national anthem and chants in support of theANC, including one hop- ing for a long life for the ANC. Kevin Naidoo, a Rackham graduate student and South African native, said he hopes Hani is remembered as a leader, not a violent man. "For many times we thought things were almost hopeless. ... To the outside world, this may have seemed like a violent campaign, but it was necessary. The role that Hani played was organiz- ing the Black militant youth," he said. Reuben Mosidi, a speaker from the University of Toledo, said Hani encour- aged patience and established a calm atmosphere during the peace talks. "South Africans are being asked to control their emotions, control their opinions, and be patient when things are done deliberately to provoke them," he said. But Moffat Mogane, agraduate stu- dentin the SchoolofSocial Workwamed the audience against blaming Hani's murder solely on the man who has been arrested saying the media refuse to rec- ognize that the murderermay have been part of a conspiracy. The white political factions will look on the assassin as a hero, he added. Mosidi fears the assassination of the popular leader will adversely affect the talks between political factions. "The matter of Chris Hani is an obvious and calculated move by the far right... as ameans to weaken the ANC's mandate from the people," he said. Nyathi said Hani knew and accepted the danger associated with leading the ANC. "Individuals committed to justice, individuals committed to freedomknow their lives are targets," Nyathi said. Black and white leaders are strug- gling to prevent anger over Hani's kill- ing from derailing talks on ending apart- heid and giving the black majority the vote. The government and the ANC have said they will continue talking. "We could have ended up with a much worse situation," said ANC Sec- retary-General Cyril Ramaphosa. He wamed that if negotiations did not speed up, "worse could happen." Two whites were shot and killed and another injured Tuesday night in the Transkei Black homeland, police said. Two Black men were killed yesterday in shooting incidents in Johannesburg. There was no immediate indication the killings were linked to the Hani protests. At one of the biggest memorial ser- vices, about 20,000 people squeezed into Soweto's small Jabulani Stadium, where ANC President Nelson Mandela pleaded for calm from the militant crowd. "I appreciate that our young people are very angry because their hero has been killed," he said. "(But) those who feel ... we should revert to armed struggle do not know what trouble they're caus- ing. To return to violence only means more innocent people are going to con- tinue dying." People waved banners condemning the governing National Party and Presi- dentF.W.deKlerk, whospent the day in a security meeting monitoring the situ- ation. In Cape Town, hundreds of youths broke away from themain protest rally and began looting shops. "Nopeace! War! War!" they chanted whilerunningdown glass-strewn streets as vehicles and trash bins were setablaze. Several bystanders were hurt in the melee as soldiers and police fired vol- leys of buck shot and rubber bullets. AnglicanArchbishop DesmondTutu was led away by aides as Red Cross doctors at the scene picked pellets from the backs of the wounded and bandaged bloody limbs.

'U' embezzlement suspect arrested' Two months ago, DPS announced that more than $8,000 in funds were missing from a group of offices in West Quad. A unit within the Office of Stu- dent Affairs was suspected in the inci- dent. As of yesterday, the police had ar- rested at least one University employeeI for involvement in the incident. Although no name was available, officers said the arrestee is a student employee connected at one time withj the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, one of the offices in the West Quad complex. The subject was arrested on charges of a two-part warrant for larceny by converting funds over $100, based on a belief that two people moved funds designated for office purpose to per- sonal accounts. The police are actively searching for a second suspect. The arrestee arraignment is set for 9 am. today. Overeager fans apprehended at football stadium Four University students attempt- ing to get good seats for the upcoming football season were found by DPS officers in the press box at Michigan Stadium early yesterday morning. A guard in the area spotted two people on the roof of the press box and alerted officers to their presence. Police then found the four men during an area search. The men were released so that po- lice can attempt to verify the students' right to be in the area. If police find that they had no authorization to be in the press box,DPS will seek arrest warrants for the men on charges of unlawful entry. Caller runs up tab at 'U' expense An alert employee at the Legal Re- search Library told DPS Tuesday that he suspected someone was fraudulently using a professor's phone to make long- distance calls. Officers investigated the allegation and found that three long-distance calls had indeed been placed from room 801, all to the same number. Pornography is an issue of harm, not free speech, says prof. by Bryn Mickle Daily Staff Reporter Once again, the controversial relationship between pornography and First Amendment rights has ventured into the public forum. This time, however, the University Law School looked beyond its own Prof. Catharine McKinnon to acquire an expert opinion on the matter. Cass Sunstein, alaw professor at the University of Chicago, delivered his theories on the First Amendment regulation of pornographic material to more than 150 conference attendees yesterday in Hutchins Hall. "There are various, diverse ways to value human beings in our society," Sunstein said. "Our society values women for love, affection, and use - not dignity and respect." He told the group there are two views on government approaches to pornography. The first viewpoint holds that sexuality is beautiful and should be free from marketeering, whilethe second viewpoint maintains that the government should be neutral and not interfere with depictions of sexuality. "It's hard to get a free speech value theory thatputs pornography at its core," he said. Sunstein argued that regulation of pornography is not so much a question of free speech as it is an issue of harm. He said pornography fosters harm in three areas-physical and mental abuse ofwomen during the productionofporn films, violence against womenasaresult of pornographic material, and general harms inflicted on women's dignity. "America has lost a clear sense of the intent of its sovereignty and free speech laws," he concluded. "Pornography is the clear place to start recovering those legacies." One audience member disagreed with Sunstein's argument, saying that he was "opening a door to the crushing of all speech." Anita Agajanian, a first-year law student, said she was impressed by Sunstein's "very complex and well- thought-through theory." She added, "All pornography that depicts the subordination of women causes harm." Fellow first-year law student Dave Sutphen felt there is a legitimate argument for regulating pornographic materials. "Potential problems in regulation of such material should not prevent attempts to regulate the material," he said. The conference was sponsored by the Women's Law Student Association and the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Law Student Association. "I _ ! _.
