Contents: I. The 1988 ASA Meetings in Chicago, October 28-31 • A. Business Meeting • B. Executive Board Meetings • C. Panels • D. Films from the Southern Africa Media Center • II. Election of Officers • III. Directory of National Anti-apartheid organizations • IV. Other Business. Participants: B. Day, E. Ferguson, C. Goucher, D. Groff, W. Johnson, C. Root, I. Wallerstein. Wallerstein suggests that, next year, the business meeting be scheduled on the third day of the meetings after most of the ACAS panels in order to publicize that meeting better. Other suggestions for next year: 1. Place signs advertising the meeting at the ACAS table and also near the ASA registration desk. 2. Bud Day will prepare handout with schedule of ACAS activities at the meeting and a membership form. 3. 25-30 copies of the Bulletin will be available to give new members. Jim Mittelman cancelled his panel on revolutionary theory and strategy in South Africa because the ASA did not include Paulo Jordan in its international visitors' program. Other Panels: a. Southern Africa: Restructuring the Region. b. The Struggle for South Africa: The Struggle for People's Education. c. The Western Sahara War at Year Thirteen: Part I The International Framework. d. The Western Sahara War at Year Thirteen: Part I Regional Impact and Internal Development. e. Roundtable on the Horn of Africa: Perils and Promises. ACAS and the Southern Africa Media Center will sponsor these films: "Spear of the Nation," an account of the ANC; "The Cry of Reason," a profile of Beyers Naude; and "Girls Apart," contrasting lives and views of two South African girls. Johnson and Groff agreed to stay on another year as Co-chair and Executive Secretary, respectively; David agreed to assume the treasurer's duties during Candice's sabbatical. Replacements will be sought for Ann Seidman as Co-chair of the Research Committee and Bud Day as Bulletin Editor. A directory compiled by organizers of the Africa Tour will appear as an addendum to the next Bulletin. Root reported that Howard Wolpe faces a greater than usual challenge for re-election.
