Professor:
By Martha Stoddard
Staff Reporter
South Africa's apartheid will not end
until the United States stops support
ing it, said an exiled South African
political activist and professor.
Dennis Brutus, who spoke to about
400 people at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni
versity on Friday, said the apartheid
system of racial segregation is facing
its greatest challenge ever because of
internal and external pressures.
In 1984, the South African govern
ment proposed a new constitution giv
ing "a sort of vote" to two small sec
tions of the non-white population and
requiring, for the first time, that they
serve in the army. Brutus said the white
government tried to get support from
part of the non-white population because
it was becoming so fragile.
The new constitution was over
whelmingly rejected by the people, he
said. Although the government still
instituted the changes, 84 percent of
the blacks and 86 percent of the Asians
boycotted the elections. Brutus said
some parliament members were elected
by only 1 percent of the people.
The police and army beat people for
refusing to vote, Brutus said. All but
RHA supports budget cut resolution
By Molly Adams

The Residence Hall Association sup
ported a Nebraska State Student Asso
ciation resolution that opposes the
Legislature's proposed NU budget cuts.
The resolution was introduced Thurs
day by Pete Castellano, RHA vice
president and an NSSA delegate. The

two of the 24 leaders of the United
Democratic Front, a group organized to
oppose the constitution, have been
jailed on charges of high treason. Soon
after, Bishop Desmond Tutu of South
Africa received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Suddenly Tutu's criticism of apar
theid got international recognition and
the South African people realized they
had outside support, he said.
The South African government now is
so desperate that it has had to declare
a state of emergency in many areas of
the country, Brutus said.
Violence in South Africa is not new,
Brutus said. In 1960, 69 people, includ
ing women and children, were killed by
the police. Many of them were shot in
the back, he said. In 1976, more than
1,000 students in Soweto were killed by
government forces.
While some blacks are killed by
other blacks, the majority of them are
killed by the army and police, he said.
The government exaggerates the amount
of inter-group violence as an excuse to
stay in power.
U.S. support helps the South African
government continue its racist poli
cies, Brutus said. The United States is
the major supporter of the government,
and U.S. companies have $14.6 billion
resolution states, "such budget cuts
implemented midyear would cause
severe hardships on the already con
strained budgets of higher education
institutions."
Castellano said the resolution will
be presented to other student groups
and state colleges to gain more sup
port. In other business, RHA discussed
plans for a Nov. 19 food fast. Residents
extinguish the flames, which caused
about $75 damage to the hood and
carburetor.

invested in South Africa.
The sad thing is that the U.S. govern
ment acts in the name of the American
people, he said.
He urged divestment of U.S. holdings
in South Africa and South Africa-related
companies as a way to tell the South
African government that it no longer
can rely on outside support to keep it
going. Closing U.S. companies would
hurt only 1 percent of the work force,
but would benefit the majority, he said!
South Africans already are suffering
and they are willing to suffer a bit more
to gain their freedom, he said.
Brutus said he was jailed in the
1960s because he led a campaign to
ban the South African team from the
Olympics because non-whites could
not be on the team.
Earlier, the South African govern
ment had placed a "banning order" on
Brutus, forbidding him to meet with
non-family, to speak in public or to
write anything. He was dismissed from
his first teachingjob because he refused
to teach young black students that
they were inferior and that they should
be happy because they were inferior.
After spending time in prison and
five years under house arrest, Brutus
was forced into exile.

Student cuts hand
From Staff Reports
An unidentified UNL student was
treated Monday afternoon for severe
cuts on his hand after he thrust his arm
through a glass door at the R Street
entrance to the Nebraska Union.
Cpt. Douglas Petersen of UNL Police
said the student was running into the
union with friends at about 5 p.m., and
tried to push the door open instead of
pulling it.
Petersen said the student was taken
to St. Elizabeth's Community Health
