WASHINGTON,. D.C. ? 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 anthropology graduate
student said he has long been politically

When Babson was a child, his parents took
him to Vietnam War protests in his hometown
of Stamford, Ct. They were worried he would
end up fighting in the war, he said.

started, and it just went on and on, stagnant,
with no end in sight, until I grew up to be a
teenager. 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.

taught him the importance of the U.S.
Constitution. 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.

wanted seniors to sign a pledge that we would

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

business in South Africa. 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

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.
