Contents: WEDNESDAY'S SCHEDULE • STEPS TO BE CLEARED TODAY?? • BIKO STEPS MARCH TO MAYOR'S OFFICE • NEW PROOF OF SOUTH AFRICAN NUCLEAR BOMB • NO BACKSLIDING • THE EYE OF THE STORM • DROP ALL CHARGES • The newsletter reports that 63 people slept on BIKO steps last night. There are rumors that the University is planning to clear these steps sometime this afternoon. The Berkeley community will not sit idly by if the symbol of the anti-apartheid movement at Berkeley is destroyed by the repressive forces that are the tools of the corporate elite who refuse to divest in support of the liberation movements of South Africa. The newsletter says the Biko Steps sit-in marched to Gus Newport's office to discuss homelessness and hunger in Berkeley; they also got on the agenda of the Berkeley City Council last night. The newsletter says in September 1979 an explosion occurred in the South Atlantic/Indian Ocean near South Africa. At the time, it was thought to be a nuclear device detonated by the South Africa government, but different U.S. agencies discounted that theory. New proof has come to light revealing that in fact it was a nuclear explosion, detonated with cooperation of South Africa and Israel. The newsletter says Alameda county D.A. used twisted logic in court on Tuesday when he dismissed charges against 108 anti-apartheid protesters but decided to prosecute 32 of them on the spurious charge of "resisting" their false arrests. The newsletter discusses the University of California (UC), Bantustans, Representative Conyers from Michigan, restrictions on sales of U.S. products to South Africa, international law, nuclear proliferation, anti-apartheid activists, full amnesty, the June 20 Regents meeting, Soweto, and the Black community.
