Society debate ty KELLEY McDONALD taff writer The strategic and economic importance of mineral-rich iouth Africa outweighs any moral arguments for USC to iivest, an Athenian Society debator said Wednesday. Dee Rosser and Janice Kraft both think divestment is a nistake. But they found themselves on opposite sides of he divestment issue at a 7:30 p.m. Wednesday Athenian iociety debate. Rosser began by affirming the resolution, "USC founlations should not divest in South Africa." "When the U.S. divested from any African nation, it las usually been supported by the Soviet Union and >ecome an anti-American nation or even communist naion," he said. "And as far as the common cry to have the one-man, >ne-vote concept, not anywhere in South Africa does that oncept exist. It doesn't even exist in the United States, so hat's unrealistic," said Rosser. South Africa is geographically and economically im>ortant to the U.S., and the Soviet Union could and atack the southern tip of the country from the east or west, losser said. "South Africa is the largest non-communist supplier to he United States of defense-related minerals," he said.

The two played fetch ?? s divestment Rosser addressed the reason for divestment. "It's obviously because people feel there are civil rights violations there that are against American values," he said. "The people that are being supported mainly in this are in the African National Congress, which is a self-proclaimed communist organization." Communist expansion is the key goal of the ANC, said Rosser. "They're obviously not a civil rights organization, as they violate many civil rights in their day-to-day routines." The ruling South African National Party is trying to improve civil rights, shown by the 2 percent drop in unemployment and the opening of the business sector to all races, he said. "These are just a few of the efforts being made by the current administration there." Change is necessary, Rosser agreed, but progressive changes should be made over a period of time rather than the ANC resorting to terrorism. Because the scheduled opponent was unable to attend, Kraft spoke against the resolution, stating that the views she gave did not represent her personal position on the issue.
