Contents: INTRODUCING...The Divest Now Coalition • UPCOMING EVENTS • The Champaign-Urbana Coalition Against Apartheid (CUCAA) is increasingly working in conjunction with other campus organizations. Plans are being made, with several other campus-based groups (SGA, African Students Association, and CBSU), for a large-scale outreach effort in the fall to encourage other campus organizations, dorms, sororities and fraternities, religious affiliations, black student associations, and Third World groups to join in a coordinated campaign for university divestment under the auspices of a new umbrella organization, the Divest Now Coalition (DNC). This narrow emphasis could mean the DNC will be short-lived; CUCAA will continue to provide a more long-term, broadly focused structure for working against apartheid. The newsletter discusses a benefit concert for the DNC, an all-campus CALL TO ACTION meeting to kick-off Biko Week, a Board of Trustees meeting, the Coalition for Illinois Divestment from South Africa Downstate Organizing Conference, a planning meeting for Midwest Regional Conference on University Divestment, a Rock Against Racism Benefit Concert, a Sweet Honey in the Rock Concert, Champaign-Urbana sings for Africa, famine relief, the Africa Students Organization, a National Day of Action, South African political prisoners, a film series, a Brown Bag lunch, Prof. Chris Brown, and "Botswana and her southern neighbors: coping with apartheid next door."
