GAGNON SUSC gained some insight into South African's apartheid government at Thursday's Convocation presentation. white South Donald Woods, a African, told of his 1977 escape from South articles for The Africa after writing South is which a Daily Dispatch African newspaper that Woods had edited for 13 id years. He dyed his hair black and disguised himself as a priest. He lay on the floor of his car while his wife drove him 300 miles from the border of Lesotho, where he hitchiked the remainder of the way to freedom. Soon after, his wife and five children all met him in London, England, where Woods is currently a writer, broadcaster and lecturer on sacoTime.. apartheid in South Africa. "Of the 360 laws that black South Africans are denied, all they really need is one that is the right to vote. And with that one right, they can become a nation with equal rights," Woods said. "The one thing that Americans can do is write to their senators and congressmen and demand that something be done about the abuse of human rights in South Africa," added Woods. He suspects that something is going to give soon because "85 percent of South Africa is black and they are all extremely angry." Woods is the author of three books including Biko, a biography about a young black leader who is killed for voicing himself against the white supremacy in South Africa. The recently released film, Cry Freedom, is based on two of Woods' works. 830 SOUTH HALF PRICE ON ALL FOOD ITEMS MONDAY NIGHT FROM 5 TO 8 JANUARYS NEW RELEASES LYLE LOVETT COMMUNARDS TAYLOR DAYNE The campus deans discussed required classes and the possible insurance for high-ris- k change to the semester system in Wednesday's Deans' Council meeting. Sterling Church, vice president for student services, analyzed the possibility of requiring either insurance or a signed waiver for high-ris- k classes such as scuba diving and industrial education courses. Currently, only intercollegiate athletes and cheerleaders are required to have insurance. "A waiver does nothing but educate students and encourage them to have their own insurance, said Church. "Many of the high risk :ourses are required, and we have an obligation lo let students know of the risk." The colleges motivation for the required nsurance is the welfare of students, physically and financially, noted the council. Provost Terry Alger asked the deans to look at areas in their departments that may qualify as a high risk. The deans also mentioned intramurals and field trips as possible risk areas. The decision of whether or not to change to a semester system continued at the meeting. The University of Utah and Utah State University currently support staying with the quarter system. SUSC is still considering the change. James Miller, dean for the school of education, said it would be "not too bright" to make the change if no other Utah schools did. The council agreed, deciding not to make the change unless at least Dixie College and preferably Utah Valley Community College made the change also. The council decided to let the faculty vote on the issue of semesters vs. quarters. The council believed that a two-thirvote rather than a simple majority should decide, but it would allow the Faculty Senate to debate on how to decide means of the vote. 586-220- 0 TYPING PAPERS REPORTS COMPUTER ASSISTANCE RESUMES 10 DISCOUNT TO COLLEGE STUDENTS COPIES 197 WEST OPEN MONDAY 650 SOUTH, CEDAR THRU FRIDAY 10 00 A M -- 9 00 PM CITY SATURDAYS 10 00 586-047A M -- 6 00 8 PM on-goi- YOUR GIRL FRIDAV 95 NORTH MAIN NO. 10 (ABOVE BULLOCH DRUG) LEE ROTH DAVID JAMES TAYLOR GREAT WHITE RICK SPRINGFIELD High risk courses may need insurance BY LISA HOWELL MAIM MEAL DEAL ONE REGULAR FOOT-LON-G SANDWICH AND MEDIUM DRINK ONLY s2."
