I realize that the net is not in general considered a polit-
ical  forum,  But  the net has grown. I hope and I pray that
those of you who read this will do so with an open mind  and
heart.

     On campuses across the nation students have been trying
to  do just the smallest amount to end the apartheid slavery
in South Africa, of South Africans. How can we  continue  to
ignore  such  a  situation  as  this?  If one is to consider
slavery the restriction of free movement, then South  Africa
is  true  a  slave nation in this century. Her native people
may not leave there labor camps. Yes they are paid, but  not
even  enough  to  eat.  Money is only as good as the food it
buys.

     It is not the time or the place to go into the depth of
the  problems  in South Africa in this article. All I ask is
that you people read this, think about it and begin to  dis-
cuss  it  in the appropriate groups.  Please at least listen
to what has been going on down there for just all too  long.
If  a  near by University is holding a sit in or a teach in,
go to it, you may learn something.

     Please excuse the quality of my  writing,  between  100
and 200 of us have been sleeping on the library steps at the
University of California at San Diego for four  nights  now.
We  have stage sit-ins and teach-ins with various professors
speaking. We have had marches and rallies with  up  to  2000
members  of our very small student body attending. I feel it
is a worth while movement, and I hope that  we  may  receive
the support of the net.

     Thank you for your time. If you have any  questions  or
comments  for  our  group  we  also  have a pay phone by our
sleeping bags, (619)457-9179.
