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.

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.

Thursday the new investigation will A

Anders, whose office and the State poss

investigating Chaikin's claims, said A
USC's current program of drug Cha
testing is sufficient and problems are in tl

Because of that, we held a meeting ster
