UNREST SPREADS TO INDUSTRIAL AREA
Police
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) - Police fired tear gas and
shotguns to disperse striking black and
mixed-race workers who marched in
Uitenhage yesterday, press reports
said, as unrest spread to the industrial
section of this white-ruled country.
The South African Press Association
said police arrested two people in
Uitenhage and one mixed-race man
was reported wounded in both legs.
MORE THAN 7,000 workers in the
Uitenhage area, the center of the coun-
try's automobile industry, were on
strike demanding higher wages. Some
factories not hit by the strikes were for-
ced to close because they could not get
components they needed from striking
plants.

Shapiro to speak on
possible staff changes
By KEVIN TOTTIS
University President Harold Shapiro
will attend the faculty Senate Assembly
meeting Monday to discuss his ideas
concerning possible changes in faculty
and staff.
Shapiro has advocated maintaining a
smaller, better paid and supported
faculty and staff. Because members of
the Senate Advisory Committee on
University Affairs were concerned
much of the faculty was unaware of
Shapiro's philosophies, they asked him
to attend the Assembly's monthly
meeting.
ENGINEERING PROF. Arch
Naylor, SACUA chairman, said he an-
ticipates "a significantly large audien-
ce. It (Shapiro's plan) has generated a
lot of interest."
Naylor added it is important to the
faculty to learn how any plans are
"going to be turned into a reality." He
said the meeting will provide an impor-
tant opportunity "because the plans are
not set in concrete - the faculty can
have an opportunity to raise important
issues with the president."
Shapiro said yesterday nothing
definite will be decided at the meeting.
"I'll learn something from the reaction
(of the faculty) and they'll learn
something from what I have to say,"
Shapiro said.
Naylor said Shapiro was eager to
work with the Assembly when he was
approached by SACUA.
Shapiro realized June was a difficult
time to have the meeting, Naylor said,
and if the turnout was not good, "he
would be willing to do it again in Sep-
tember."
The president said he has "absolutely
no idea" what faculty reaction to his
plans might be.
