ACTIVIST
Continued from page 1.
ing an unarmed protest. Later, the government
declared illegal liberation groups such as Pan
African Congress and the African National Con-
gress.
"Nonviolent activity became impossible," he
said.
He said his group resorted to sabotage.
"Recruits were trained to plant bombs in
apartheid buildings where there were only Euro-
peans," Kathrada said.
The recruits didn't want to detonate bombs
where they could injure people, so they set most
of them off during the night.
He described his years as a prison inmate at
Robben Island Maximum Security Prison. Kath-
rada was allowed one visitor every six months for
only 30 minutes.
He also mentioned the disparity of treatment of
white and black prisoners involved in the move-
ment. While black prisoners were often consid-
the michigan daily
ered heroic, whites were not.
"The whites regarded the white prisoners as
traitors, so they were treated in many respects
much worse than we were treated," he said.
While in prison, Mandela wrote his autobiog-
raphy and Kathrada and another inmate, Walter
Sisulu, wrote a few essays, which were copied
and smuggled out of the prison to be printed
elsewhere. He described it as a "highly danger-
ous undertaking." When prison guards found the
originals, Kathrada and his group lost their study
privileges for four years.
Kathrada talked about the terrible treatment
many prisoners endured.
"(The security guards) used physical torture
and emotional torture," he said.
He recalled a friend's face being bashed in by
guards and another friend thrown off the sixth
floor of police headquarters.
"The loss of those people never ever left me,"
he said.
The police were never punished for these
actions, Kathrada said. They would invent expla-
nations for the deaths, ranging from suicides to
accidents like slipping on soap.
For reasons unbeknownst to him, Kathrada
was never tortured.
He briefly described his life before his incar-
ceration, including a romantic relationship with a
white woman named Sylvia, which at the time was
illegal. When he went to prison, he said, Sylvia
was exiled and eventually married another man.
The first democratic elections in South Africa
were held in 1994 when Mandela became president.
Audience members turned out to hear Kathra-
da's story firsthand.
"My sister went to South Africa and told me his
story," LSA sophomore Paula McDowell said. "I
wanted to hear it from him. The movement was
more than just Nelson Mandela."
Elizabeth James, program associate for the
Center of Afroamerican and African Studies,
said Kathrada's lecture was a unique opportunity
for students.
"The opportunity comes so rarely of see-
ing someone who is living history," James said.
ARTWORK
Continued from page 1
across the Flint campus.
"A is for art. B is for body. C is for
censorship," one message read.
Later, Walesby revisited his ear-
lier suggestion, deciding instead to
surrender the drawing's fate to UM-
Flint.
Hogan said the decision came
from an ongoing discussion and that
Walesby's decision was unaffected
by the controversy on the Flint cam-
pus.
"The entire time, we tried to
offer some guidance and resources,"
Walesby said. "We wanted to be
advisory, not make a ruling."
With the ball in its court, the
UM-Flint provost's office decided
to allow the LGBT Center to dis-
play the drawing as part of an art
exhibit.
The LGBT Center lent the draw-
ing to the campus's art gallery,
where it spent a week on display as
part of a collection of LGBT-orient-
ed artwork.
Last week, the LGBT Center's
collection moved to Flint's Good
Beans Cafe.
Eventually, the drawing will
return to its original home at the
LGBT Center, Miller said.
UM-Flint also sponsored a discus-
sion about the drawing two weeks
ago, where administrators, members
of the LGBT community and a law-
yer from the American Civil Liber-
ties Union spoke against the work's
removal. About 100 people attended
the event.
Like the controversy in general, the
discussion helped make students aware
of transgender issues, Coon said.
"This has been a victory for us,"
she said.
UM-Flint Chancellor Juan Mestas
agreed, saying the dialogue on cam-
pus has influenced the community
positively.
"Yes, the drawing has been con-
troversial, but controversy gives us
a chance to consider what we each
consider art," Hogan said.

his graduation from the University.
He began his career as an intern at
the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
and continued as a writer for the
Christian Science Monitor after his
four years at the University. While
in Ann Arbor, he won a Hopwood
Award and worked at The Michigan
Daily for about two weeks.
He got his foot in the door at his
first jobs by being willing to get
coffee and deliver papers to the
higher-ups.
"You have to stick around and do
those menial tasks," Walker said.
"At some point, they're going to find
themselves shorthanded, and it'll be
your turn to step up."

The University's Americorps pro-
gram annually places students at 40
sites throughout southeast Michigan,
mostly in the Detroit area. Part of
the Ginsberg Center for Community
Service and Learning, it connects
nine undergraduate and graduate
divisions, including the Ross School
of Business and the School of Public
Health.
Social Work Prof. Larry Gant, an
evaluation consultant for the Amer-
iCorps program, said a reduction
in financial resources could make
it more difficult to get students
involved in the program, as well as
the ability to provide high-quality
training.
"More and more service learning
opportunities are being compelled
to be run as volunteer opportu-
nity, but you can't run these kinds
of initiatives on pro bono time
only," Gant said. "Students may be
able to secure places on their own,
while others may not be able to be
involved without the money and the
training."
In his proposal, Bush also rec-
ommended the elimination of the
National Civilian Community
Corps, a division of AmeriCorps.
Most of the budget reduction the
parent corporation will face in the
2007 budget - $48.5 million -
results from the termination of the
NCCC.
The NCCC is an elite yet expen-
sive arm of the AmeriCorps pro-
gram, including about 1,000
full-time volunteers stationed at
five regional campuses across the
country. While other service groups
within AmeriCorps provide disaster
relief, the NCCC distinctly focuses
its training and response efforts on
disaster situations.
For this reason, Anderson said
she did not understand the rationale
behind shutting down the NCCC.
"NCCC has been instrumental in
providing human resources in times
of critical need, for example, serv-
ing in areas affected by Hurricanes
Rita and Katrina," Anderson said.
"They perform the type of work that
really is not appropriate for other
national service programs, like the
National Guard."
But despite the cuts, Corporation
spokeswoman Siobhan Dugan said
AmeriCorps is expanding overall
and will be able to support 75,000
members in the future compared
with the 70,000 currently.
"AmeriCorps members will con-
tinue to engage in service and do
the work they've been doing for 12
years," Dugan said. "I hope people
take advantage of the opportunity
and realize the importance of the
need for people for disaster relief in
the Gulf and apply for those posi-
tions."
Through the University's Ameri-
corps program, Business School
junior Brian Bae worked as an
intern at Focus:HOPE, a non-profit
organization that facilitates com-
munity projects in the Detroit area,
such as food distribution centers
and children's day care.
Bae said while the budget cuts
are problematic because sufficient
funding is crucial to the success of
AmeriCorps, the announcement is in
keeping with the general decrease in
federal support in numerous areas.
"If they gave us more funding, it
would be helpful to the organiza-
tion," Bae said. "But we need to make
do and adjust to the situation."
President Bush's proposed federal
budget of $2.77 trillion for 2007
would increase spending on nation-
al security to aid the country's fight
against terrorism. To address the
deficit, the plan advocates the purg-
ing or reduction of 141 government
programs, including AmeriCorps,
housing and urban development pro-
grams.
