As almost 150,000 marchers in Saturday's "Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America and Southern Africa" convened on the U.S. Capitol, David Babson just smiled. He had never been to such a large political event, but he was used to the demonstrations and marches. Babson, 30, was one of 38 USC students in Saturday's rally.

The problem they saw was that the war would continue until the time I'd be 18 and be drafted. They didn't want to see that happen," he said. They also gave him anti-war literature and records. "Their explicit goal, as they told me later, was that I should resist the Vietnam War, because they saw that as the only way for me to survive the war," he said.

He saw its power during the Senate s Watergate hearings, because it helped to expose Nixon's wrongdoings and remove him from office, he said. "I came of age during the greatest constitutional crisis of our time, probably since the Civil War. I think it made me perhaps more skeptical of our government and having less confidence in its officials and even its structure. "My impression then was that the Constitution is not a symbol, but an active thing. And it doesn't work unless you make it work. 1 learned that seeing the Nixon administration come apart.

"They wanted seniors to sign a pledge that we would give no alumni donations to the university until it completed divestment." He signed the pledge, which he said had a two-fold benefit for him. "I thought it would be a good protest. It also gave rne an excuse not to ever be bothered by the alumni, because I would never have any money as an anthropologist anyway." Babson was also helping to form a group similar to USC's Free South Africa Alliance, which wanted Brown to fully divest its investments in companies that were doing HAND I Doi 1 913 State I Parkland PI I (USC, Cayce, W.C S. in a nni / JH-UU J Opan ALWA' y til 2nm Ec le,'y> DOUBLE (Buy On* G?t sthesia Large 2 Iti ^erv) *12.20 PRICES 00 NOT E CANNOT BE CO 'BINEI COUPONS OR PARI v.mpn | 1 LHI1L I UIIIU K-l 4pin Bpn I 1 Large Pizz J $5.50 ??????

The divestment issue was begun at Brown, Babson said, by black and Third World students concerned about minority issues. These students were upset about the lack of available student aid, minority students and minority tacuity. brown oniciais saia tney were aware of these concerns, but couldn't provide more money or time for them without hurting other programs, Babson said. The students also found out that Brown had $2 million to $5 million invested in companies involved with South Africa and helped to organize the divestment group. Babson joined the group, which he said held a few rallies and a sit-in at an administration building during the 1977-78 school year. Babson said the group tapered off its political activity in the early 1980s because of a lack of manpower, but has resurfaced because of the rising national concern about South Africa. Brown decided to partially divest recently, but still has about $700,000 indirectly invested in South Africa, he said. Political activity at USC Babson worked as an archeologist for six years after his 1978 graduation, but said he decided to return to school because he was unhappy with his work. "I wasn't getting anywhere with it. You work three months, six months, maybe a year at a time, but you never have permanent work or a permanent position," he said. He began graduate studies at USC in the fall of 1984. Babson said he wasn't politically active during his first year at USC because he was adjusting to college work and atmosphere. He worked with the Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Alliance for Peace. See "Protester," page 4 I St. 1735 Decker Blvd. laza Decker Plaza )ola. Area) (Ft.
