"Other universities listed as fully divested have, in fact, cited special cases for exemtion," the committee report said. And increased educational and exchange programs, and financial aid to black students and st universities in South Africa should be implemented, it said. Future developments in that country should be considered if and when its racist policies end. As a matter of consistency, the committee report called on the Senate to draft and send a letter to faculty retirement organizations urging divestiture. A few senators opposed the measures. Engineering Professor Kenneth L. DeVries said to be consistent in divesting from IBM, the U. would have to stop buying and using its products. Lamont Tyler, also of engineering, voiced opposition to changing the criterion for investment from financial to non-raci- social.

India's policy is not passive but "we don't think morally it's proper to condemn a country, unless the difference between wrong and right is very clear." And statements of condemnation prevent means of negotiation. "But our country generally agrees with U.S. aims and objectives," perhaps questioning only how the aims arc carried out at times. A special committee formulated India's foreign and non-alignme- nt cy domestic policy in the 1920s, long before their independence from Great Britain in 1947. "We have what Nehru called a policy which would work for socialistic development (not socialism)." India adheres to such principles as free trade and capitalism, although "capitalism should not take advantage of the common man." Medical care is free, although limited because of the population's size. Leaders have made progress since India's independence. At that time, the country imported food, but is now and "by and large," there have been no self-sufficie- executive committee.

Indian railroad travel is the "cheapest in the world." But housing is still a problem, despite India's policy of land redistribution. Because the country has a history of progress through non -- violent methods, "we must be free of the arms race." A conflict with Pakistan, which is supplied with U.S. arms, is "a sort of suicide." Both countries have small funds to fight a war "the funds arc needed to develop the countries." "Our own problems are astronomical," said Ahmad.
