SOUTH AFRICA
. APARTHEID
CONTROVERSEY
CLOUDS OLYMPICS
ANJ For the ninety
minue duration of the box
ing match between Ameri
can John Tate and South
African Gerrie Coetzee on
October 20, while television
cameras relayed the scene
worldwide, officials per
mitted an integrated audi
ence to fill the sports arena
in Pretoria. It has been esti
mated that blacks composed
about 5,000 of the 85,000
crowd for the event.
Although the outcome
was a blow to white South
African boxing fans, with
Tate winning the World
Boxing Association heavy
weight championship, the
match itself was a victory
for the South African gov
ernment in focusing atten
tion on its new policy of
modifying apartheid. "It
gives the world the image
that apartheid in sports is
broken down," explains
Dennis Brutus, an exiled
black South African and
president of the London
based South African Non
Racial Olympic Committe
(SAN-ROC). "In fact," h
points out, "the week aftf
the fight, if a black got int
the ring with a white boxt
he'd get arrested."
Opposition to the figh
came primarily frorr
ACCESS, the American
Coordinating Committee foi
Equality in Sport and Soci
ety, a coalition including
SAN-ROC, Jesse Jackson's
PUSH, the American Com
mittee on Africa, and sever
al religious groups. After
unsuccessfully seeking to
have NBC withdraw its
coverage of the Tate-Coet-zee
match, ACCESS
staged simultaneous, though
small-scale, protests outside
NBC offices in New York,
Chicago, Boston, and Den
ver during the fight. They
are now organizing to pres
sure NBC, ABC, and CBS
against bidding to televise
ten future fights from South
Africa planned by Bob
Arum, who promoted the
October match.
While anti-apartheid
groups have been occupied
in this country by the
Coetzee-Tate battle, Euro
pean attention has been
focused on the British tour
of the Barbarians, a multi
racial South African rugby
team.
Under pressure, the gov
ernments of 1 France aridl
Ireland blocked efforts by
their national rugby associa
tion to sponsor South Afri
can tours. The British tour
by the Barbarians was op
posed by Minister for Sport
Hector Munroe, on the
grounds that Britain was
bound by the 1977 Gleneag
les Agreement in which the
Commonwealth countries
pledged to discourage sports
contact with South Africa.
In spite of Munroe s ob
jection, the four British
rugby unions-those of Eng
land, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland-refused
to retract their invitation to
the Barbarians, citing the
multi-racial makeup of the
team, which has eight white,
eight black and eight
'coloured' members. ;
Anti-apartheid groups in
Britain, however, have fol
lowed the lead of Peter
Hain, chairman of Stop All
Racist Tours, in doggedly
protesting the Barbarian
tour.
Britain faces the possi
bility of being barred from
the 1980 Olympics as a re
sult of the Barbarians tour.
Vladimir Popove, first
deputy chairman of 'the
Olympiad -80 organizing
committee announced that
jttoicow would ban advo
t cates of racism, but later
admitted that the host,
country has no power over
Olympic members. The
International Olympic
Committee does have the
power to enforce such a
ban, but although its presi
dent, Lord KlUian, condem
ned British inaction against
the Barbarian tour, he also
rejected the idea of barring
a member country from
Olympic competition.

tion does not change, black

UGANDA
NEW SECURITY
DILEMMAS
AN Internal security
remains a grave problem in
Uganda, end the Binaisa
government is taking a
number of new meakares to
deal with the situation. Con
tributing editor Tony
Avirgan reports:
DAR ES SALAAM -In
mid-October Ugandan Presi
dent Godfrey Binaisa fired
two of the three persons
who had been directing the
Presidential Security Unit
established two months ago.
The men had come un
der severe criticism by mem
bers of the Cabinet in Sep
tember for their heavy
handed use of detention
powers and for their exor
bitant demands from the
government for foreign ex
change and scarce resources
The two officials were also
charged with breaking into
government storage depots
and stealing cars meant for
other ministries.
The Cabinet feared that
a continuation of the deten
tions might alienate the
population, leaving them
with the impression that
this government was little
different from its prede
cessors. Besides the change of
personnel, Binaisa also an
nounced that a more lenient
detention law would soon
be introduced. The nation is
currently operating under a
wide-ranging detention law
from the Obote period,
legislation opposed by
Binaisa when it was intro
duced in 1967, prompting
his resignation as Obote's
attorney general.
Also in late October over
200 people were released
from Ugandan prisons, in
cluding a former Kampala
mayor and the head of the
Uganda Law Society. A
further several hundred
names are listed for release
if no one comes forward
with major charges against
them. This latter group is
comprised mainly of
persons picked up immedi
ately after the fall of Kam
pala on suspicion of asso
ciation with Amin's State
Research Bureau.
Despite these adjust
ments, the security situa
tion in Kampala remains
extremely difficult. A
though the dusk to dawn
curfew has helped consider
ably, there are still an
average of five murders
each night in the Kampala
area.
The Tanzanian army,
which is the main security
force, has concentrated its
efforts in the downtown
area and around the homes
of government officials and
other prominent people
who previously appeared to
be targets of politically
motivated murders. Now it is
very difficult to kill such
people, and tactics seem to
have switched.
The instigators of these
attacks now appear to be
targeting Baganda people
living in the areas surround
ing the capital, perhaps on
the theory that such mur
ders undermine Baganda
confidence in the Binaisa
administration.
Government officials
are encouraged, however, by
the high Baganda turnout at
several recent meetings in
the Kampala

Uso off Hypnosis In Ocdlcbo cd EjedbD
" Sonhcrs to Do llc!d
Howard University will
present a series of
seminars on the use of
hypnosis in medicine, den
tistry and education, each
Friday and Saturday,
November 2-16, at the
Howard University
Hospital auditorium, 2041
Georgia Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20060.
The seminars are sponsord
by the Howard University
Hypnosis Institute and the
University's department
of psychiatry and office of
continuing medical educa
tion. The seminar series,
presented on two suc
cessive levels, will
demonstrate how hypnosis
may be used in the follow
ing ways: in the
preoperative period of
medicine and dentistry ( in
lieu of anesthesia); to con
trol unwanted habits such
as smoking, overeating
and nailbiting; to increase
retention and recall in
learning situations; to in
crease performance during
examinations; to increase
the interest of younger
students in school and
learning; to permit
cuss security. At these ses
sions the people demanded
protection from the police,
blaming them for the
ieaths.
The Ugandan police
force now is largely the
ame one that served under
Vmin. Although most po
icemen ran away, some
1,000 stayed on. There is
ittle doubt that police are
mplicated in some of the
illings and several dozen
olice officers have been
nested.
One step taken to help
lie public know when
olice are the attackers was
o put a wide blue identify -ng
stripe on the Volks
wagen vans the police use.
in addition, the force is
being reorganized and new
ecruits trained. Fifteen
ielect officers are now in
Britain for instruction to
help in that revamping.

conception and pregnan
cy. Persons attending Level
I seminars will learn to
achieve a trance state for
self, perform hypnotic in
duction for others, realize
a state of relaxation for
self, and reduce their own
nervous tension. Level II
seminar participants will
learn the dangers and pit
falls in the practice .of hyp
nosis, master the art of
plotting the CHI-Graph
for hypotizability (which
determines one's suscep
tibility to hypnosis) and
learn to apply hypnosis in
habits control and other
disorders.

more concerned about the
effects of drugs on their
bodies and want to share
the responsibility for their
