'I am sorry my fellow Africans saw it fit to leave'
Controversy grips South African seminar
6
By Traci Baucom Associate Editor "Welcome to Contemporary Political Issues," Dr. John George, professor of political science, said to a standing room only Crowd in the LA Auditorium Monday, where two South African consuls addressed students and faculty. "In this class we practice disagreement without being too disagreeable," he cautioned the sure to be emotional audience. Contemporary Political Issues is a class George teaches which utilizes Newsweek magazine as its textbook. The South Africans, Johan deLange, consul for information, and Barry Oberholzer, political consul, called George from their headquarters in Houston and offered to speak on campus. Their purpose, according to George, was to act as public relations representatives for their country. South African practices a form of government known as apartheid. Apartheid is defined by Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary as "a policy of segregation, political and economic discrimination against nonEuropean groups in the Republic of South Africa." African students rose en masse and left the auditorium as George introduced deLange in protest of this form of government. "I am sorry my fellow Africans saw it fit to leave the hall," deLange said as he took the podium. "I so wanted to congratulate them, the Nigerians particularly, for their day of independence (Oct. 1). I hope that they will have every success in the future." DeLange's speech dealt with South African perspectives in the 1980's. South Africa, he said, is "the world's most criticized country by the mass media here." "American visitors to South Africa are often pleasantly surprised by the contrast in what they have been led to believe and what they find there," he said. "I would appreciate the opportunity to put South Africa into perspective today." DeLange said it was essential that the Republic of South Africa is recognized for what it is, rather than what its critics say it is. "When viewed in the African context, South Africa has had
some remarkable achievements," he said. "With only 3.6 percent of the continent's surface and 6.1 percent of the population, South Africa produces 25 percent of Africa's gross national product, 29 of its industrial and 45 percent of its mining output, 60 percent of its steel and 65 percent of its electricity consumption." DeLange went on to say that as the world's second largest steam coal exporter, South African coal exports are the energy equivalent of more than 300,000 barrels of oil per day. This is an important point, George said, because South Africa is in the top three in most strategic minerals. What he was saying, according to George, was, "What if the Soviets got that?" "They play off this thing, bastion against Soviet expansionism," George said. "Of course, there's some truth to that. Nobody, except people who are pro-Soviet, wants to see South Africa get under the Soviet sphere of influence." Late in his speech, DeLange arrived at the part the crowd had come to hear—that dealing with their government. "For most Americans, the name of South Africa is synonymous with apartheid," he said. "Let us first look at apartheid. The word has become one of the deadliest verbal weapons which is internationally used to attack South Africa. "Apartheid is received by the international community as a concept which has become synonymous with evil—the evil of discrimination and racism of man's inhumanity to man, especially if he is black," he said. DeLange said this was based on a deception that people have, a deception which "decades ago might have had some validity, but which in South Africa today is false, a fallicy and in fact is dead." "What is dead about apartheid in South Africa," he said, "is the deception of the concept by the international community. This attitude of hatred, racism and oppression no longer exists in the hearts—that's important—the hearts and minds of most South Africans. South Africa, deLange said, is changing far more than the

American people are being led to believe. The South African government, he said, rejects the notion that only one particular group among its people should have the upper hand at the expense of other groups. Historically, deLange explained, the South African form of government has been stronger than other African nation's, which have been subject to instability. "The primary and essential objective of our political philosophy is to secure and guarantee the right to self-determination for all the peoples," he said. DeLange said he did not expect an overnight solution to his country's problems.
Other points brought out in speeches by both of the consuls were that southern African countries should be more dependent on one another economically while still maintaining their individual cultural and tribal identities. After the speeches, both men fielded questions from the audience while George acted as sergeant-at-arms to the sometimes angry students. Several black students made impassioned speeches regarding American versus South African freedoms to an applauding crowd. George said his argument with the South African concept is not that they want to keep the apartheid government in power, but that they need to go faster at giving equal rights to their people,
faster at making sure all people are treated the same, faster at getting equal educational and economic opportunities. "That may be hard to do," George said. "There are some things they could change immediately. The apartheid laws have broken down to the extent that blacks, "coloreds" and Asians can travel on South African airways and buses and sit wherever they want to sit, they can go into the best restaurants to eat and to the best hotels to sleep, but they can't travel on the same railway car." In most cases, George said, they can't swim in the same swimming pools with caucasians. "Now isn't that the dumbest thing you've ever heard?"

Dr. Tom Guild, political science professor, debates the apartheid issue with Nigerian protestors.
Protest avoids mishap By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor The Nigerian student protest passed without incident Monday, as the Nigerians peacefully demonstrated against the appearance of two representatives of the apartheid government of South Africa. Approximately 30 Nigerian students bearing protest signs gathered at the Liberal Arts auditorium Monday morning. They went in, after being instructed by officials to leave the placards outside, and seated themselves toward the front of the auditorium. When the first speaker came to the podium to speak the students calmly rose en masse and left the room with only one of them making an obscene gesture towards the speakers. Other students in the auditorium at the time applauded the manner in which the Nigerians handled the situation. They then proceeded to quietly display their signs outside the auditorium. The signs displayed slogans such as: "Liberty not bloodbath for my people," "Freedom for all," "Racism is bad," and "We are proud as Africians." "We are patriotic and peace loving and we only want to express our opinion against the representatives of the South Africian government being allowed to speak here especially on our independence
day," said Simon Okonjo, president of the Nigerian Student Union and protest organizer. Oct. 1 is the Nigerian independence day. The protesters also handed out a leaflet describing in their terms what the apartheid government in South Africa is all about. "We gave them to students so they could read them and find out what the South Africians are doing and to help them ask questions of the speakers," Okonjo said. The administration and campus security were prepared for what may have been an explosive situation. There were present at the event two FBI agents, at least two bomb squad experts from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and nine other officers from campus security, Edmond Police Department and the Oklahoma City police. Bob Roberts, chief of campus security, said that the officers were there at his request. "Even though we don't anticipate any problems we have to be prepared for whatever may happen." Dr. Jim Perry, vice president of academic affairs, said that they had received phone calls indicating that there would be up to 350 demonstrators and possibly violence. "I think the security precautions were demanded by the possiblities of the situation so as to protect the welfare of all included," Perry said.

Opinion Page Expert's view disappoints student To the editor: As a professor of political science and so-called expert on African affairs on this campus, Dr. John George has to my mind and to the minds of all fair minded people, cast a shadow over the merits of his professorship by declaring in paragraph six of the front page story on Nigerians protesting South Africans "I feel foolish I forgot, but even if I remembered it, I would have allowed them to speak. I don't think anyone's independence day should stop anyone from speaking." Dr. George is a learned man as as such, cannot be exonerated from the
gravity of his utterances. I am flabbergasted that in the last quarter of the twentieth century, and in America, the most advanced nation on Earth, founded on justice and equality of persons, a mind and body such as that of Dr. George, judged worthy of a doctorate degree would so brazenly abuse the culture and aspiration of the people he is supposed to represent here. Dr. George knows Nigeria, the most populous country in black Africa, very well. He has always known us. He knows our policy toward Apartheism in whatever shape. He knows we have been on the forefront of the fight
against Apartheid inclinations in South Africa. He knows our independence day is Oct. 1; and he made this day clear in paragraph six of The Vista accounts of his judgement. It is clear therefore, that Dr. George in a calculated attempt to show his total indifference on the fact of having overriden us, deliberately fixed the South African debate on Oct. 1. He has exhibited a myopic tendency rarely found in people of his caliber, for which I still hope he was quoted out of context. For the avoidence of doubt and double selfish thoughts, the Nigerians and
all free Africans here at Central State University, do not in the least hate South Africans. What we hate is their policy of Apartheism. The subjegation of the human mind to waste, abuse of persons and their right to justice the type of which no American ever experience, even in the days of civil rights movement, and the total oppression of a people in their God given homeland. The South Africans have not made any improvements on their apartheid policy, they do not really have anything to offer the political science student in America. Moses Onyema Madu
Censorship brings 'sad fate' to photo articles To the editor: Could censorship be alive and well in this country? Apparently someone believes in it and is practicing it at CSU's library. Last summer I had a job that forced me to arrive at school about an hour early each morning. To pass this time, I became a daily patron of the library, going through many of it's books and magazines. Since I am a photo arts major, I was naturally drawn to those books and magazines that dealt with the subject of photography. Among the countless volumes of magazines from around the world, I found issues of a magazine from England called "Amateur Photographer." The weeklies of this magazine date well back into the seventies and continue up to the present. As the dates got closer to the eighties, a type of photography, known in England as "glamour photography," became more frequently written about and examples of it shown. Glamour photography, as you may or may not have guessed, is the photographing of nude, semi-nude or fully clothed women in what often appears as totally ridiculous situations to find a nude woman in. Despite this, it is obviously quite popular overseas. So popular in

fact, there are studios for rent that include models who will "pose as desired." As I looked through the copies last summer, the articles on camera equipment and effective landscape photography were broken up by an article or two on "glamour." Being male, I must admit that I did not find these unpleasant. Of course some people would label me a pervert, but I found the articles and related ads interesting for a reason not so obvious. They revealed that the attitudes toward nudity are somewhat different in Europe than they are here, a fact we don't always realize until it is presented before us. So different in fact, someone deemed it necessary to rip all articles dealing with "glamour" out of the pages of "Amateur Photographer." Near the end of school last summer I began noticing pages were missing from some of the magazines. Upon closer inspection, I found more issues containing articles on "glamour", or the photographers who do it, had pages torn out. At first I thought it was the work of some lonely guy needing
photos to fill his walls and forgot about the matter for the summer. However, this fall I was early to school one day and remembered the problem of the torn-up magazines. I thought the lonely guy would surely be gone, or at least have found a new hobby. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Not only were pages missing, but entire covers had fallen prey to this desecration The destruction of the magazines was becoming so systematic I was beginning to have doubts it was the work of a single person. The alternative to this theory was, however, unthinkable. Could an institution of higher-learning, such as this one, stoop to censoring it's library. I certainly hoped it wasn't the case, but to be sure, a trip to the library offices was in order. There, I was directed to visit with Clemma McCawley, assistant director of the library in charge of public services. McCawley seemed shocked that I would even think the idea the library would censor any of it's reading material, and after my visit with her I did feel rather foolish for asking. She explained to me that vandalism was the
Homecoming queens eventually forgotten To the editor: Pop quiz! Name last years homecoming queen. You could probably name last years Kentucky Derby winner just as fast if you are the average person. Every year in schools of all varieties this coronation takes place. And every year a nameless face is perched atop the back of a mirror smooth convertable for all to see and ultimately forget. Instead of being placed on the back of the car they probably would be best represented by being strapped to the front grill of the car like bagged big game. But these women usually volunteer, some of them even campaign for this honor. Good solid backing, 24 hours credit and a 2.0 G.P.A. is all that is expected
for entry to the homecoming queen election. Conducted like the All-Star game the homecoming queen election is really a popularity contest once you get past the judged preliminaries. Then it is a wide-open horse race (no pun intended) to the finish with each girl being allowed to campaign right outside the ballot box area (a tact that even our crafty politicians have not allowed themselves) if she so wishes. How many people really remember these "Queens"? Phyllis George and Venessa Williams are the only two that come to mind. Which just goes to show there are only two ways the very lucky get remembered: as a winner and as a loser. Name withheld upon request
censor I was after, and steps had been taken to help stop this destruction of the library's materials. This is why students are having their books and belongings searched before they leave the library. As to the fate of "Amateur Photographer", she said if the space permitted, it would become restricted and only available from behind one of the counters. A sad fate for a magazine I assure you. In the meantime, my hope is that whoever is doing this will stop. If it is the work of a lonely guy, please find your pleasure elsewhere. Much more explicit materials are available for sale around the city. If this is the doings of a moral zealot, surely you must understand that none of us are born with our clothes on, and pictures of nudes are simply people in their natural state. If you find the articles on "glamour" objectionable, my advice is for you not to look. Not all objectionable things can, or should, be removed from life. Myself, and I'm sure other students of photography, find the articles on "glamour" interesting and informative. At the very least, the information on other subjects lost on the back of pages ripped out should be reason enough to not censor these magazines. I leave you with this thought; In the days of Hitler, destroying reading materials was the thing to do. Maybe now in the days of Reagan, this pasttime has come back in vogue. David Koelsch

State,local world news More Soviet talks a possibility
C
Secretary of State George P. Shultz said Sunday that the opportunity for holding productive negotiations with Moscow has been improved, but he declined to characterize last week's talks between President Reagan and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko as "very positive." "Not very positive—sober and intense," is the way Shultz said he would describe the Reagan-Gromyko meeting, as well as two separate sessions he held with Gromyko. In an appearance on ABC-TV's "This Week With David Brinkley," Shultz said that as a result of the nearly nine hours of talks, the chances of a more constructive dialogue with the Soviet Union are reasonably good. He said the two sides agreed to keep in touch, carefully and ,systematically through diplomatic channels and that such contacts would make it possible to negotiate solutions to some problems. Meanwhile, Walter F. Mondale said Sunday that the meeting was an apparent failure in arms control, and called on the president to provide a full accounting to the American people.
Dorms offer advantages? By Jeff McCall While living on campus, students enjoy many benefits and tolerate certain negative aspects that are a part of dormitory life. Students who live in East Hall, Thatcher, Murdaugh or West Hall have a noticeable advantage over commuters— or do they? Commentary Other than the obvious reason of being closer to classes, dormdwellers meet an untold amount of new people and are invited to certain functions, such as West Hall's "Purple Rain dance", of Sept. 24. (which came off as a tremendous social success). Central and 89er Cafeterias serve the residents what appears to be food, three times a day. MMMMMMM good stuff!
Depending on one's taste buds, this can be either a positive or negative aspect of living on campus. Picture this: It's 3 a.m. and most everyone is sound asleep in the dorm and dreaming of Mom's home-made apple pie (or any real food for that matter) and a noise shatters the night. What could that noise be? How about the fire alarm? Yep. Everyone is forced to stand outside for approximately ten minutes before the fire trucks appear, and then another ten after they arrive. The worst thing about this is there is no fire! Next door neighbors are just loads of fun, too. Here is a person who brings a stereo system capable of producing 100 decibels of bad rock music, and uses every
bit of that capability at 1:30 in the morning! Completely undaunted by banging a hammer on the wall, continuous yelling and even faceto-face confrontation, the music steadily gets louder and lasts later! Unless one of the blessed few with a room close to the bathroom, one might as well pack a lunch before beginning the journey to the facilities. In case of emergencies, an average speed equivilent to a 4.5 forty yard dash is needed to get one to the necessary room on time. Even with all the other little quirks that come with life in the dorm, it's still an experience not to be missed. Rolled up together, these quirks are easy to laugh at and are part of the character of the school. Maybe dorm-dwellers do have an advantage. Maybe not.
Americans send arms to IRA American sympathizers of the Irish Republcan Army paid for a seized arms cache that included rockets, hand grenades and submachine guns meant for killing people on both sides of the Irish border, Justice Minister Michael Noonan said Sunday. The outlawed IRA meanwhile, claimed the responsibility Sunday for a bomb explosion in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, that damaged a bridge and disrupted train service between Belfast and Dublin. Noonan, in charge of Ireland's fight against subversive crime, said the IRA was "alive and killing" despite the seizure Saturday of a trawler packed with weapons he said were being sent to Ireland from the United States. Noonan said the arms "came from the United States, but some of the weapons were manufactured in different countries." He did not spell out what evidence he had that the shipment was financed by Americans. Danny Morrison, a senior member of the IRA's legal political wing, Sinn Fein, said the allegation was "ridiculous." He acknowledged the capture of the weapons was a plus for the Dublin government and the British in Ireland, but said it would hardly dent the ability of the IRA to continue.
Man held on threat to Reagan A 29-year-old Arizona man was booked into jail late Saturday on a complaint of threatening the president. Greg Clark, who gave an address in Phoenix, allegedly walked up to an Oklahoma City police officer in the city bus station at 10:45 p.m. Saturday and asked if he could borrow the officer's gun. Clark told the officer he wanted to shoot the president, police reports stated.
Mine made by Soviet Union Egyptian and British authorities on Sunday confirmed reports that a mine found in the Gulf of Suez was Sovietmade, but the British Defense Ministry said there was no evidence to blame the mining on the Soviets. The mine was found Sept. 12 south of the Suez Canal by a British minesweeper that was part of an international minesweeping effort begun after explosions damaged at least 19 ships in the Red Sea since July 9. In an announcement distributed by Egypt's governmentrun Middle East News Agency, the Egyptian armed forces' general command said parts of the mine were flown to Britain for examination and it was determined the device was of Soviet origin. In London, Britain's Defense Ministry said experts found that the mine was Soviet made, but they have no reason to believe that the Russians were responsible for laying the mine.

Film lacks special something .1 By Mark Beutler Paramount Pictures new film "The River Rat" is an actionpacked motion picture which stars Tommy Lee Jones and newcomer Martha Plimpton as a father and daughter who find adventure, and a relationship, on the Mississippi river. The film tells how the tranquil life of 13-year-old Jonsy (Plimpton) is disrupted by the return of her newly paroled father.
The product of a teenage liaison, she was deserted by her natural mother at birth, and was raised by her grandmother (Nancy Lea Owen) on the banks of the Mississippi. Review When her father returns, Jonsy finds that she is utterly unable to commmunicate with him. Imprisoned because of his involvement in a robbery/murder when

Jonsy helps her father salvage himself, though, by asking for his help in restoring an old boat, the "River Rat", and embarking on a personal voyage along the mighty Mississippi.
All the traditional elements of southern literature are present in the contemporary context of "The River Rat": gothic trappings, evil, coming of age, and redemption. The film is entertaining, but it lacks that special something that seperates the mediocre from the great.
They are accompanied by Wexel (Shawn Smith), a ten-year-old black boy who is the girl's only friend.
This leads to a powerful confrontation that reaches its climax on a windswept night on the fabled river.

CSU nabs Cowboy Jamboree
•
By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor Central State University's cross country squad captured its fifth consecutive Cowboy Jamboree crown Saturday in Stillwater and the Bronchos' John Begay won his second straight individual title in as many weeks. CSU runners finished first, fourth, fifth, ninth and 10th to finish with 29 points, nine points ahead of runner-up Oklahoma Baptist University to win the
college-junior college division of the meet. Begay, a senior from Chinle, Ariz., took top honors in the 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) race with a time of 32.23. Last week Begay won the five-mile run at Oklahoma Christian College. "I can't say enough about John Begay," said CSU cross country coach Paul Parent. "He is running super right now. I expect it won't be long before he breaks wide open on the five-mile run." Other CSU runners scoring
points and their order of finish were Joe Scott, fourth, 33.07; Kevin Helton, fifth, 33.44; Rodney Buss, ninth, 24.24 and Mike Driskill, 10th, 34.25. "Those are pretty good times considering it was a pretty difficult course," said Parent. A former CSU runner and three-time NAIA All-American, Ronnie Parks, won the open division Saturday in a time of 31.38. Parks was a 1982 graduate of CSU and he is now coaching cross
country at Okmulgee High School. Jimmy Brackeen, another former CSU runner, finished second in the open division. Next action for the Bronchos is Friday in Norman for an 8,000 meter race. Parent said the CSU team will be competing against the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and the University of Texas among others. The race begins at 10:30 a.m. on the University Golf Course in Norman.

By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor An explosive offense reminiscent of past Central State University teams unleashed itself upon Northeastern, Saturday night as the Bronchos had one too many big plays for the Redmen. Tailback Eddie Goodlow's 44-yard run set up a 2-yard touchdown dive by Wayne Ellenberg with 25 seconds remain- ing as the second-ranked Bronchos held off ninth-ranked NSU, 31-24, to raise their record to 4-0. The Redmen had rallied from a 24-14 fourth quarter deficit . NSU tied the game when tailback Weldon Peel raced 45-yards for a touchdown with 8:04 remaining to whip the highly-partisan NSU crowd of 7,500 into a frenzy.

But (.M.1 quieted the crowd when on a crucial third-and-6 from midfield, Broncho quarterback Glynn Walker optioned left to Goodlow who sprinted down the sideline to the 6 before he was knocked out-of-bounds. CSU coach Gary Howard said the Bronchos went with the option instead of the pass because of CSU's success running the ball against the Redmen. Ellenberg had scored on 40-yard run earlier on the option and Goodlow tallied a 68-yarder. "Sometimes you have to go with what you do best," said Howard. "Goodlow was obviously having a great night." As a team CSU rushed for 343 yards against the Redmen and Goodlow, who was named District 9's offensive player of the week, rushed for 179 yards on 13 carries. Walker was 6-for-15 through the air for 115 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown pass to tight end Chris Edgmon in the second period.
