Contents: BISHOP TUTU TO SPEAK • Monday's Schedule • CORNELL SURVIVES ANOTHER DAY • SANTA CRUZ ALSO THREATENED • ARRAIGNMENT FOR TWO OF THE BIKO 4 • RIOTS OF RALLIES? • The cover of the newsletter includes an image Free South Africa Victory to the ANC and SWAPO by the U.S. Out of Southern Africa Network. [This image is also on a button by the organization.] The newsletter says that, after a failed attempt Saturday to bulldoze the University-approved shantytown that protesters have been living in for nearly a month, Cornell officials announced plans to return at 7AM Sunday to try again. However,at 7AM they said instead everyone should be out by 11; the students dug in for another round of CD (civil disobedience), and as far as we could tell nothing had happened by late this afternoon. The newsletter says thousands are expected to turn out to hear Bishop Desmond Tutu during his two-day stay in the Bay Area. The newsletter says on May 13, Michael Donnelly and Jose Carrasco will appear before an Oakland court for arraignment on outrageous multiple charges, including felonies, stemming from a police attack on the sit-in on April 25 at which four people were arrested. The newsletter says concern is mounting in activist circles over what will happen this Thursday and Friday when an estimated 15-25,000 students from the nine UC campuses will be in Berkeley to greet the Regents. The newsletter includes a 1942 quote by John Vorster. The newsletter says Whites will dictate the pace of change in South Africa until at least the year 2000, according to Herman Nickel, the U.S. Ambassador to South Africa. The newsletter discusses apartheid, sanctions, Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers, Dolores Huerta, Mario Obledo, University Hall, UC Santa Cruz (University of California Santa Cruz), the Mandela Library, the blockade of the Azania Hall of Science, Stephen Weissman, the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee on Africa, the Reagan Administration, Christian Nationalism, Fascism, National Socialism, and constructive engagement.
