...freshmen (Crimson, October 23) to solicit University sanctions against the demise of the woolly mammoth. While their efforts can be dismissed as being all in fun, President Derek Bok's ready complicity in all this silliness seems to mock the seriousness of the issues involved in the antiapartheid advocacy of divestment. Bok's response may also have been all in fun, but it seems insensitive just the same...
...Commission of Inquiry (COI) yesterday released its long-awaited report on the conduct of Harvard police and other officials at last May 2's antiapartheid demonstration.

Botha had said nothing about parliamentary representation for the black majority, she conceded, let alone the right to vote. But, she said, "the abolition of pass laws and influx control, to my mind, is something that should...
...African National Congress (A.N.C.), has been in prison for more than 20 years. In a further crackdown, the government outlawed the country's largest organization of black secondary school pupils, the Congress of South African Students. The group is an affiliate of the United Democratic Front (U.D.F.), the multiracial antiapartheid organization that has been at the center of the current protests...
