The Borg-McEnroe ' Tennis Match The proposed Borg McEnroe tennis match,' originally scheduled : for ' December 6 to celebrate jHHITEjIIG ' : Less Cistly Ctr iRsurzacr Many insurance companies now offer lower rates on many makes and models of automobiles, both domestic and foreign. Before such "make and model" programs were estab lished, collision and compre hensive auto insurance rates for most insurance companies were based on the new car price, age of car, garaging territory, use of car, class of driver and other factors. With the introduction of new rating programs, a model's actual loss experience has been included. This experience takes into account additional factors not part of the previous rating system. These factors include damage ability, repairability and theft differences by model, of automobile. Allstate Insurance Company has had. what it calls a "Make and Model Experience Rating Program? in effect since 1976. Allstate has modified collision and comprehensive auto in surance rates on many 1974 1981 cars in order to take into account their higher or lower cost of repairability, ease' of servicing and crash worthiness. The program is used in addition to traditional rating factors. Data underlying make and model, programs does, not indicate what . causes the experience to be better or worse on a particular model, but simply that the model is better or worse than average in , its market class in terms of total comprehensive and collision experience. f Each insurance company ; offering make and model j premium . reductions has a slightly different method, for deciding upon the re duction it offers. Under Allstate's program, for example, rates for collision and comprehensive coverages are based in part on the actual loss experience of each model Presently, Allstate is giving reductions of! approximately 10 to 30 per cent on 29 models of 1979 and 1980 cars. Two models with very good loss ex-'-perience receive a reduction of up to 45 percent. Models with actual loss experience worse than average 'receive an increase of approxi mately 10 to 30 percent, while some models with sub stantially worse than average loss experience receive an in crease of about 35 to 65 percent. The remainder of the cars with collision and comprehensive coverages are not affected, since their experience is about average. Some of the cars Allstate offers reductions on have re ceived the reduction because of design improvements result ting from research done by Allstate's wholly owned subsidiary, Tech Cor. Tech Cor :nas been working with some major automobile manufacturers, suggesting improvements in serviceability and repairability features which several manufacturers have adopted. This ; joint , effort between the two in dustries has the benefit of making cart less expensive to own by holding down expensive repair, costs. , ; wan hi nun MAiifftin iii, ho Dost How & Used Cars EASY FINANCING Auto Salos Phono 682-9275 Colcloogb 612 RIGSBEE AVE. DURHAM, H.C. the 'independence' of Bophuthatswana, was the, most blatantly .' political . sports event undertaken by the racist government. The SI. 5. million to be paid to Borg and McEnroe was the largest single pay day outside of boxing in the history of professional sports. The amount of money plus the date chosen indicated the ever increasing ' importance placed on sport as a tool of South Africa's foreign , ; policy. ;7 ,;! -'".-v-; - The plan blew up in South Africa's face. Ar thur Ashe, the black American tennis star who had himself visited South Africa, called John McEnroe's father. He ad- vised against his son going to South Africa and set up a meeting between former Ambassador Franklin Williams, no president of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, and ACCESS chairman Richard Lapchick with McEnroe. The meeting took place on October 10. Ambassador Williams and Lapchick explained why fhey believed k would be a terrible mistake for John vMcEnroe to go to South Africa. Less than one week later, John McEnroe became the first white American athlete to withdraw from a match in South Africa. His decision struck' a very dramatic blow to South Africa's ef forts to convince the world that it was a member in good standing with the international community. McEnroe and his father were praised by ACCESS, the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid, the , ANC and the American Committee on Africa for their courageous stand. It was predicted that the decision to withdraw would be a major problem for South Africa in any future attempts to arrange such matches in one of the glamour sports such as tennis. The willingness of Ar thur Ashe to become in volved in such matters should also help in efforts to isolate South Africa. As a prominent black American athlete who has been fco Africa, ti$ carried gfelf credibility with both other athletes and promoters. The cancellation of the Borg-McEnroe match was one of the most important victories in the history of the sports anti-apartheid movement. It was the ban ner headline story in all the South African papers. Gymnastics And The UN Blacklist The second-ranked gymnastics team in the United States, known as the Parkettes, invited the South African national team to. compete in its November 29 invitational meeting in Allentown, Pennsylvania: Ms. Debbie, White, the mother of. a member of a Parkette team ' member, called ACCESS chairman Richard Lapchick on November 3 after her own" efforts to persuade the Parkette mannagement or withdraw the invitation had failed. , ' Lapchick immediately wrote a letter, of protest to the Parkettes. He inform ed them of the interna tional situation, the sports boycott, of South Africa the U.S. government posi tion opposing sports con tacts, and, most impor tantly of a new United Na tions Blacklist of athletes who compete with South Africa. Because of the introduc tion of the blacklist, news of the scheduled meeting became a major wire ser vice news story. Pressures were increased in the local Allentown 1 area. The NAACP and the ACLU both joined local pro testers. The item was hotly discussed at the Allentown City Council meeting of November 5. Parkette co-director, Bill Strauss, citing "pressures from various national committees," an nounced the withdrawal of . the invitation to the South African team , on November 8. ' . Coupled with the McEnroe decision, the withdrawal of the invita tion to South Africa in gymnastics as seemed to turn the tide of South Africa's reemergence in international sports. The creation of the UN Blacklist by the Center Against Apartheid is go ing to be an important tool in maintaining that isolation. - Other Actions y " ' Consultations ' with Abraham Ordia, presi- dent, Supreme Council for Sport in Africa.
