Plantasia sale continues
today in Union,
about $1,000 raised
More than 20000 plants of 500 different varieties,
plus 100 different type of cacti are available today and
will be available tomorrow during the Plantasia plant sale
in the Nebraska Union, said Sue Beard, Kappa Alpha
Theta spokesperson.
Beard said Kappa Alpha Theta is providing all the
working hours for the plant sale, sponsored by AUF. She
said the Acacia pledge class helped move the plants into
the Centennial Room, where the plant sale is being held,
and will help move the plants out of the Centennial Room.
Greenfingers Greenhouse receives 50 percent of the
profits minus publicity costs for providing the plants,
Beard said. She said that the rest of the profits go to the
AUF.
Beard said AUF or Greenfingers do not have to pay
for the use of the union during the sale.
Last year, the plant sale made about $1,200 for AUF,
Beard said.
But she said that yesterday $1 00 worth of plants
were sold.
Beard said the Theta house has been involved in the
plant sale for at least two years, but she said she thinks the
plant sale has been an annual event for at least four years.
Beard said that this year AUF was going to operate
the plant sale on its own until it was realized that more
workers were needed.
Although AUF is the main sponsors of the plant sale,
Beard said, the Theta house is providing all the working
hours.

He said it seems to be more than just
chance ttiat these African nations have
come under the control of Soviet-backed
or Marxist governments following the
placement of senior KGB officer Solidov
nikov in Zambia.
"In South Africa we're doing our
damnedest to stay a capitalist country.
The question is, what can Americans or
the rest of the world do," he said.
Pienaar said that 13 military- and
economically-strategic minerals are mined
primarily in southern Africa and the
Soviet Union. The United States relies on
imports for 50 percent for its supply of
these minerals.
In a conventional war, the Soviet
Union would have a clear advantage if the
United States loses these South African
imports, he said.
About President Jimmy Carter's human
rights policy, Pienaar said Carter has set a
double standard.
The United States continues trade with
the Soviet Union and China, he said, and
"there are many more infractions of
human rights in China and Russia than in
South Africa.
Also the American media doesn't tell
the entire South African story, he said.
"You never hear that 95 percent of all
school age children are in school or that
South Africa has the highest literacy rate
in Africa or that the South African blacks
have the highest standard of living in all
of Africa," he said.
