South Africa could
join Olympics in '92
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa ? An International
Olympic Committee delegation
said Wednesday it would support
South Africa's return to Olympic
competition only if it abolishes
apartheid and meets other tough
conditions. /
The decision fell short of
South African sports officials'
private predictions that readmission
would be recommended
now. It left open whether
changes could be made fast
enough for South Africa to compete
in the 1992 summer
Olympics.

BISMARCK, N.D. ? The
North Dakota Senate on Wednesday
approved what could become
the nation's most restrictive state
abortion law and sent it to Gov.
George Sinner, who has hinted
he will veto it.
Senators voted 32-21 to endorse
the bill, which bans abortion
except in cases of rape, incest
and endangerment of a woman's
life.
Sinner has three days to sign
or veto the bill, or let it become
law without his signature. He has
said he thinks the bill "goes too
far" by declaring life begins at
conception.

Former professor Justiz

By TIGE WATTS
Assistant News Editor
During his administration, former USC Presider
James Holderman hired Manuel Justiz to the Colleg
of Education from a position as director of the Nz
tional Institute of Education, where he had been ac
monished and then fired.
Justiz was hired in 1985, months after then
Secretary of Education William Bennett fired him be
cause of "general dissatisfaction with hi
performance."
While he was director of the NIE, Justiz was ac
monished for "wasteful management" in Novembc
1984 by Terrel Bell, who preceded Bennett as edua
tion secretary. The Office of the Inspector Genen
found Justiz used NIE telephones and travel funds fc

ary 1983.

long-distance telephone calls and frequently took pai

Federal regulations require all bonus miles to b
used during future government travel.
Many NIE workers claimed at one time or anothe
that the agency was overstocked with high-paid off
cials who served no function to the department.
In fact, it was those NIE workers who asked for a
investigation of Justiz.
"I could take you through the agency on any give
day and show you people making . . . $50,000 an
more who have no function. They sit around with n
projects to work on," a veteran NIE official, wh
asked to keep their anonymity, said in an August 198
article written by Donald Lambro, a syndicate
columnist.
Justiz was also under fire because of the lack <
rotation required for NIE employees. It is mandatoi
for members to rotate every three years. After a go1
ernment investigation, it was discovered that Just
kept employees at the institute who were going c
past their 10th year.

After Holderman hired Justiz as an endowed chair
of the College of Education, excessive air travel records
and expenditures popped up again. The (Greenville)
News reported Justiz took nine trips charged to
Holderman's office in a Feb. 3, 1987 article.
Justiz often had expensive dinners with Holderman,

Critics say Justiz was named to the spot because of
"ethnic politics."

[. said the Reagan administration did not take the time
to look into Justiz's credentials.
's "All they saw was some Cuban-American from
New Mexico applying for a top position," he said.
S Justiz graduated from Emporia State in 1970 with a
i bachelor's degree in political science and a master's in
j higher education and political science. He also rei
ceived his doctoral from Southern Illinois University.
PI According to a U.S. News and World Report report,
j both colleges rank low in academic credentials. Emporia
accepts 100 percent of all applicants while
Southern Illinois accepts 87 percent. USC accepts 79
percent of its applicants.
The magazine also submitted a report with four

Previous to being hired by Holderman, Justiz asked
to be taken back by the University of New Mexico, a
school where he was professor. The university declined,
even with heavy lobbying by New Mexico
