STOP PRESS **********************

President Sovern of Columbia University, New York announced today (thursday)
that the committee formed after the spring blockade to study the wisdom
of divesting from all corporations with operations in South Africa is to
recommend that that action be taken.

This is a BIG turnaround from the previous stance of the various committees
and himself, which he admitted.

Now , wait and see what the final action taken against the 60 or so students
still involved in disciplinary hearings in connection with the blockade is to
be....  you were right, but wrong place and time??....  premature anti-apartheid??....  heard this one before, anyone?
