THE CALL

(The following statement was issued Aug. 7 by the South African Ckmgress of Trade Unions (SACIV) supporting an announceiEllt by the miners' union of a possible strike against the mining corporations and the a:(artheid regirre):

SACIU hails the deeision ·of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM South Africa):

* to take strike action on August 25 ·if the 22% \\age increase demand is not met by the mining mgnates,

* to give the ap:utheid colo-nial regirre 72 hours to lift the state of emergency or else instruct its members to t

to warn the regime Botha -went ahead with his threat to . re:(atriate · migrant -workers in the event of economic sanctions against South Africa, a general strike -would be called.

In supporting the courageous stand taken by the NUM, -we call oo all the mine -workers' unions and miners to unite in the· face of the onslaught by the mining magnateS and the regime, and to support your brothers who have taken such a momentous decision. Unity is strength. As miners, -we are all affected by poverty wages, job reservations, dangerous working conditions, dehumanizing living conditions, separation from our families. We are one in our suffering- Let us remain one in our struggle.

SACIU calls on all the -workers, trade unions and darocratic forces in our country to fully support the miners. Let us bridge the division between workers in the mines and those in the cities and towns. Let us demonstrate our slogan "an in~ury to one is an injury to all.' let us coordinate

The Q.testions

On the first day of school, arrong the .myriad of other activi-ties planned, there will be a picket at the Bank of Arrerica on the corner of Durant and Tele-graph. Why is it a target? What is its place in the network of corporate racisn support? What's the story with Bank of America anyway?

The· Direct Link

According to. a 1983 source, Bank of Arrerica has $284 million in loans to South African banks and goverrm:mt institutions. At first glance, that may not seem like a lot when compared to the $2.4 billion that the University of California has invested in corporations .. that do:,;-~ in - . . . .,, ' ' 'cont.ir!ue:I 'on . page 6.

And the fact is; that there are even fewer minority faculty people in tenure track slots than there were ten years ago, and so it's not even as if you can say that the situation is. going to :irilprove in the next few years because of what the University is doing. So we're going to make that an is-sue. We're also going to liBke ·an issue of the fact that even in the administration they only have, right now, the highest ranking minority administrator is D=an Shutk (?), and he's resign-ing, so there will really be no one in the administration, real-ly, who is a Third W:>rld person, and we're going to make that an issue as v.ell.

BPN: Could you give some more details about what kind of action is called for O:::tober 11th?

Pedro: The O:tober 11th action has been called - I'm not Slfre who rmde the international call, it may have been the American Committee on Africa, or it may have c.a.re fran the AOC themselves - but it's being called a day of solidarity with political prison-ers in South Africa, where the plight of political prisoners is to . be drawn out to educate people about what's going on down there, and just a day of solidarity, OOsically.

BPN: Over the surnrer, just lit-erally a few weeks after the University voted not to divest, a State of FnErgency was imposed in South Africa, which certainly isolates the vote of the Regents. What do you think should be done in the Fall, specifically such as a return to the sit-in, strikes, pickets, what do you see as being the next step? ·

Pedro: I think to start out, v.e can do a f~w rallies, but we should really focus on really educating students on campus, and trying to build up aware{less, because I thirik peop1e-fiave a pretty short ~IBIDry, to the point where v.e had it last Spring, and then fran there it 'I\OOld be up to the O:alition to devise a strate-gi~ for protesting and for ap-plying direct pressure to the Regents.

A long tint@! ago, I asked my engineering roommate, '~en the banbs drop, \\here will you hide?''

''At the bottan of TX>e Library, Safe fran radiation beneath eight floors of books."

Now, we know better. If the banbs drop- and it is up to us, to you, dear reader to tmke this a question of "i£'1 rather than '\tel"- there will re no place to hide. Towards the east, . the sun will seem to rise a second t:i.rre as a \\&head accanplishes a task that should have reen JE"fornm long, long agc:r- the utter darolition of the atan labs at Li venoore. For just a minute, in brief, fatal celebration, the mushroom cloud will glow with all the colors of the rainbow. Mcm:!nts later, this campos··itself will explode. Ihn't kid yourself. ~ there is a missile with ''12 Coote'' written on its oose cone. Or ''Evans." Or 'tory." The scientists will not re allowed to escape their abdica-tion of IIDI'al responsibility. Nor will students be given any Jllrdon.

In a way, such destruction is only fitting. Wlat goes around, ~.~.

'l'he point is, anyone can make ~· Judging fran all the att:en:-. tion garnered from the cooferen:e-- front page of the Drily Californian, coverage on the 11:00 news on several stations, and quite a bit of verbiage on local radio stations- the B:i.ko Plaza News .has done just that.

What is not understood by at least one person- me-- is the zest with wch reporters junp on this story and take the BFN's \\Qrd for what lappened. That takes a great deal of trust. It also takes (on the part of the BPN) a flabbergasting atiDtmt of oolls to be able to sit in front of reputa-ble IleWSJB~ and radio represen-tatives and speak with such authority.

How does anyone know, or rather, can anyore re certain we are telling the truth? If you net people like us (the staff), ~laps you \\Ullld take another look before reporting or reading such ,gobble de shnoo.

Can you trust anything that comes out of one of our editor's mouths when that same mouth is filled with ooby talk \\hen discus-sing foriegn affairs or addressing his peers? Can anyone trust a IlliD who tries to calmly discuss the future of the only viable tmder-ground Jll~ concerned with rever lution, insurrection and 'lliE MOVE-MEN!', after four cafe lattes and huffing down a pack of clove ci ttes?

For forty years, the University of California has been the Car 1 Lewis, the Edwin Moses, of the arms race. It manages the two labs that design all this country's nuclear weapons. In Septanber, the Regents will vote on renewing the University's con-tract to su~vise the Li venoore and los AlanDS labs. Attend their Septanber 6th forun in San Fran-cisco.

It in fact results fran a strong will to live and camunicate a plea for help. In sooe attempts, the sui-cide plans and actions appear grossly unlikely to succeed. These attempts are often referred to as "suicide gestures," and are ''predaninantly cormnunicati ve in nature....
