Bob Maurer introduced Gail Morlan, who is embarking on a two-month speaking tour of the U.S. and a UCM representative. Janet M reported that ACOA has called for a boycott of the Olympics because of the IOC's decision to permit South Africa to participate. Bob has not received written replies from Joe Short of AAI. The newsletter has appeared again. The World Student Christian Federation plans to end its accounts with First National City Bank. Bob requested pickets for the March 15 COEMAR meeting, which presumably will deal with the withdrawal question. Janet M. announced that the March 21 Community Church observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination/Sharpeville Day will include Bishop Crowther, Dr. Aaron Henry (president of the Mississippi NAACP), Peter Molotsi, Gladstone Ntlabati, Ambassador Achkar of Guinea, and other assorted notables. Arnold Madoda of the South African Students' Union in the Americas (SASUA) mentioned the problems South African students encounter here. [Note: COEMAR is the acronym for Commission on Ecumenical Mission and Relations, part of the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (UPCUSA).]
