Order Stymies CongressionalSanctions Effort------
Governor Kean of New Jersey has signed into law one of the strongest piecesof divestment legislation in the country.The bill, mandating the divestment ofover $2 billion of public pension fundsaffects one of the greatest sums of thedivestment campaign.
The bill's sponsor, Willie Brown,deputy speaker of the Assembly, staved off attempts to have a Sullivan Principles clause amended to the legislation.He has called this victory a first step andis now urging laws requiring public universities to divest, and prohibiting state
agencies from buying productsor services from businesses withSouth African ties.
Republican Governor Keandeclared at the signing thatdivestment has become a moralimperative. "It is the SouthAfrican government's behaviorwe seek to change." he added."And until it changes, we simply cannot invest in SouthAfrica."
Willie Brown, Sponsor of theNew Jersey IJi\'estment Bill,celebrates signing by gOl'ernorTom Kean (R).
I believe there are two South Africas,with two clocks ticking away. Oneclock has passed midnight. Theother is approaching it. Midnight haspassed for blacks, and in their SouthAfrica there is hopelessness andrage giving way to despair, and theseare the people who must be addressed, and the president has yet to dothat.
Rev.· Peter Storey, head ofMethodist Church (S.A.)
Aug 19, 1985,after meeting with Botha
We prefer to resolve our problems bypeaceful means. ...Then we canuplift people...But I say it is going totake time. The revolutionaries-theyhave no respect for time becausethey have no self respect.
P. W Botha, Aug 15, 1985"reform" manifesto
Let us send a clear message that thetime for constructive engagementwith racism is over and that the timefor firm American action againstapartheid has come.Sen. Edward Kennedy, Aug 15, 1985
We can no longer stand by andwatch while a system predicated onracism attempts to subjugate an entire people. The time has come foraction to change - and to end, onceand for all-the oppressive system ofapartheid.Gov. Thomas Kean, Aug 20, 1985,referring to signing of New Jersey's
total divestment bill
President Reagan has issued an executive order which calls for negligiblesanctions against South Africa. Theorder is taken for the most part from theslightly stronger congressional sanctionspackage, which was itself a watereddown compromise resulting from aHouse Senate conference. However, theexecutive order provides for even moreloopholes; and while it retains the bill'sobjectionable Sullivan Principles clause,it omits the clause threatening stronger
sanctions, such as no new investment inone year if apartheid is not beingdismantled.
The President's manuever has failedto still criticism of his 'new' policy ofstill 'active' constructive engagement, byanti-apartheid activists. The sponsors ofthe stalled legislation, Senator Kennedyand Congressman Gray, have indicatedthey intend to intensify their legislativeeffort.

Municiple and State DivestmentUpdate
Since April of 1985, the roster of citiesand states which have passed divestmentlegislation has grown considerably.Besides New Jersey (see story, p.1),"Iowa, Rhode Island and New Mexicohave joined the ranks, and Marylandhas added to its 1984 legislation. TheCalifornia legislature passed total divestment affecting $4 billion, but the governor preempted this with an executiveorder. The bill's sponsors are hopefulthey can accomplish a veto override.
Burlington, Vt; New Orleans; Richmond, Va; San Francisco; San Jose;Stockton, Ca.; Boulder, Co., LosAngeles, and Rochester, N. Y. haveswelled the list of divested cities. Divestment actions remain pendingthroughout the country.
National Conference onMunicipal LegislationOn October 11 and 12, the AmericanCommittee on Africa and the U. N.Special Committee Against Apartheidwill co-sponsor a national conference onmunicipal legislative action againstSouth Africa. City council members andcommunity leaders from cities nation
wide which have not yet taken antiapartheid action will have the opportunity to speak with investmentspecialists, anti-apartheid organizers andlegislators from divested cities. This yearthe U.S. Conference of Mayors, theConference of Black Mayors and theWgrld Conference of Mayors have passed resolutions calling for all cities tosever ties with businesses operating InSouth Africa.
CBS Poll Reveals Need to EducateAn August poll conducted by CBS indicated that 3% of those polled approved of apartheid, 390/0 disapproved, and580/0 had NO OPINION. In the midstof unprecedented news coverage, morethan half of those asked lacked sufficient information or were too confusedby the mixed messages they receive toform the most basic opinion about apartheid. It is imperative that we engage inmore community outreach and that professional organizations develop morepopular resources.

Cleveland Honorary Consul ResignsUnder PressureIn August, Steve Klonowski, SouthAfrican honorary consul, resigned aftermonths of weekly protests demanding
the Cleveland lawyer sever all ties withSouth Africa. The Friday afternoonprotests, begun in March, werehighlighted by the arrest, trial and aquittal of Mylion Waite, director of theCleveland Free S.A. Coalition, oncharges of trespassing.
After Waite's highly publicized trial,City Council President George Forbesadded political pressure to the group'sdemands until Klonowski was forced toresign.
Poll Shows South African BlacksFavors Economic Sanctions
A poll of 400 urban blacks conductedby the South African Gallup affiliate inAugu t indicates that 77 % supportforeign economic sanctions to help endapartheid, even though 48 % believe they\vould personally suffer. Beyers Naudecited the findings when European Common Market official visited, but thepoll has failed to get nearly the coverageby U.S. media as the di credited Schlenlmer report received.
South African Economy In Tailspin
The dramatic fall of the rand, the shutdown of South Africa's stock exchangefor a week, the freeze on repayment offoreign debts, are proof that economicsanctions do work. The mere threat ofweak sanctions and the announcementby a few U.S. banks that short termloans would not be renewed, coupledwith intensifying internal pressures onthe system, have brought the oncerobust economy based on exploitiveapartheid to its knees.
Capital flight from South Africa isunderway. Since January, 1985, sixteenU.S. firms have shut down or sold outand five more have announced plans topull out. Meaningful sanctions and additional divestment successes are boundto hasten that flight. The myth of SouthAfrican self-sufficiency has beenshattered.

T aVEAlbany Students Jailed for SUNYRegents Protest
On September 12, three SUNY studentsbegan serving 15 day terms for their participation in an April protest at aRegents meeting. The judge offered tosuspend sentence in exchange for promises that they not engage in similar activities for a year. When they refused towaive their first amendment rights tofreedom of expression and assembly, thestudents were jailed. The studentorganization reports that when one student asked police permission to be interviewed by AP, she was told the interview would result in her not earning ear1y release for 'good time.'
Intimidation has not been limited tothis incident. On Sept 11, another student was arrested for writing antiapartheid messages in front of a SUNYoffice in chalk.
Nightly candlelight vigils were beingheld for the jailed student leaders anda large gathering was held on the nightof their release. The result of actions bystudents is that, on Sept 24th, the SUNYtrustees voted to divest totally.

Students Organize Over SummerRepresentatives of 18 midwest schoolsmet in Chicago in June and Ann Arborin August to organize for the fallsemester. All endorsed the October 11national anti-apartheid day and pledged to act. Among schools representedwere the Universities of Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Louisville,Chicago, Illinois, and Michigan, Kansas University, Loyola and North\vestern. The Progressive Student Net\\lurk, the Third World Political Forumand the Anti- Apartheid StudentAlliance, a Chicago-based Black studentalliance, were active in the meetings.
In August students from Harvard,NYU, Columbia, City College of N.Y.,Princeton, SUNY, the New School forSocial Research, Cornell, Dartmouth,Boston University, the Univ. ofMassachusetts, Yale, Brown, Williams,Bryn Mawr and a D.C. coalition ofschools met in New York City to discussprotest strategies and other issues. Amajor focus was the importance ofblack participation and leadership in the4
movement. All endorsed October 11 andpledged to act, though many indicatedthat action would already be underwayin September at trustees' meetings.
Columbia Expected to AnnounceTotal DivestmentAn ad hoc committee of trustees, facultyand students was formed last spring atColumbia to study its South Africanrelated investments in response to thedemands of students blockading the administration building. In late August,the committee recommended totaldivestment of the $39 million investment.
President Sovern, a long opponent ofdivestment, now feels 'confident' it willpass and believes 'it's the right thing todo' in light of recent developments inSouth Africa. Perhaps, just as the Columbia blockade inspired students atdozens of campuses to act, the changein position of the Columbia trustees willinspire similar decisions in the university board rooms of their colleagues.
Fall Semester Actions Get QuickStart
Fifteen hundred people attended a lateAugust pro-divestment rally at Berkeleyto begin the semester. On Sept 4, 350st udents at Cornell gathered to pro~est
the proposed code of conduct and demand divestment. And for the last twoweeks of September, students at Swarthmore are maintaining a vigil.
Cornell students will greet theirtrustees when they meet on Oct. 11, N3tional Anti-Apartheid Day. Suchschools as Bryn Mawr and Yale, wherethe movement has been strong but thecore group small in the past few years,report organizational meetings inSeptember which swelled their ranks
