and board of governors, as well as UNC President

i CAPE TfltfrNutluAjfribfl S- (Sbsly 30. percent a
of South Africa's mixed-race voters cast ballots in
last week's election of a three-house legislature, but
spokesmen for the apartheid government said the
low turnout still was enough to legitimize the first
non-white chamber of the nation's Parliament.
Under a new Parliamentary system adopted lat
year, the country will be represented by separate
houses in Parliament for whites, Asians and people
of mixed race. Critics of the new system say it entrenches
white control by giving whites power to
veto actions of the Asian and mixed-race chambers.
The critics boycotted the election of 80 members to

Dennis W. Archer issued the warning at the
NBA's 59th annual reunion held here recently.
"Our next president may lead the nation for the
next four years," Archer said, "but he will have the
opportunity to appoint from three to five U.S.
Supreme Court justices - individuals who can serve
for life and whose decisions will ultimately outlive
the judges themselves."
Archer called for a heavy black turnout at the
polls in November to prevent such a right-ward tilt

Q: For the last several months, I have been trying to
locate a bookstore which offers a wide variety of
black literature, but I have been unsuccessful in finding
a store in the city. Can you tell me the name of
a bookstore which offers a good selection of books
on black history, literature and art?
A.N.
A: Anne Lennon, operator of the New Horizons
Book Club, offers a wide selection of books on the
black experience. Lennon told Open Line that the
book club, which has no membership fee, sells
books on black history, culture and religion, plus
children's books and books on black feminism.
Lennon said you must make one purchase during

advances.
The suit says the alleged sexual advances began
during the 1982-83 school year and continued for
two years. When Mayfield resisted the advances,
the suit says Blount retaliated by recommending his
dismissal.
Mayfield, also an instructor in the Department of
Secondary Education and Curriculum, further
charges that the university failed to follow its
regulations for granting tenure and reappointment.
Although the suit seeks no damages from Friday,
it asks for no less than $600,000 in damages and
back pay to June, when he was fired.

Government opponents also said voter turnout
was closer to 18 percent, not 30 percent. "Eightytwo
percent of all so-called colored (mixed race)
voters did not participate in the election," said
Jonathan de Vries, secretary of a branch of the
United Democratic Front, a multi-racial coalition
formed to fight the new system. "No amount of
election trickery and percentage juggling can hide
the fact that this constitution does nornave the support
of the people."
None of the country's 22 million blacks were
allowed to vote under the new system.

But if Ronald Reagan is elected to another fouryear
term, Archer said, "We will not only lose time,
but lose ground in the area of civil rights enforcement.
Generations to come will suffer the wrath of
racism. Black people must vote in record numbers
to turn America around.
"It is our turn to make a difference," he said.
"This presidential election is not just a choice between
two candidates. It's a choice between moving
backward and moving forward. Which path will
America take?"
