Black tribe breaks ties with S.Africa
UMTATA, Transkei (AP)-Transkei, South Africa's first independent tribal homeland, said yesterday that it was breaking diplomatic relations with its creator and would press a "struggle for recognition" against the mock rule in white-governed South Africa.
Transkei's independence is recognized only by South Africa, which plans under its policy of racial separation to consign its 19 million blacks to nine scattered homelands. Opponents of apartheid say the existence of a state based on the independence of South Africa by its 4.3 million whites.
TRANSKI PRIME MINISTER Kaiser D. Matazima, announcing the rupture in a speech to parliament here, said his government could no longer take it.
"We have been compelled to join the liberatory movements and claim the whole of South Africa as belonging to blacks and whites, with blacks controlling the majority," he said. "We are going to propagate majority rule in southern Africa." In henceforth this will be the fundamental policy of our struggle for liberation."
MATANZIMA SAID he would recall Transkei's ambassador and consuls and eject the South African ambassador by April 30.
There was no immediate reaction from the South African government.
Matanzima predicted not only a confrontation between Transkei and South Africa but a bloody struggle between black and white South Africans. Other black states in southern Africa—including Tanzania, Zambia and Zambia—barbur
nationalist guerrillas training for combat governments of South Africa and Rwandas.
MATANZIA ASSERTED that the break in relations was forced on him by South Africa's military establishment and rejection of his government's claim to East Gingera, along Transkei's northern border. If incorporated, the territory would be split into separate chunk isolated inside South Africa.
Observers in South Africa said more pressing reasons for the break included a desire to get the hard line against South Africa and his apparent belief that he may win some
JUST AFTER TRANKSIE$_{1}$ independence Oct. 26, 1976, the U.N. General Assembly voted 134-0 to declare the "sham invalidness" inviolent.
Transkei remains economically dependent on South Africa, which provides more than half of its 1977-78 national budget of $274 million.
"We are appealing to the Western countries to come to our assistance."
ONLY ONE OTHER homeland, Bophuthatwana, has taken independence, and most other tribal chiefs—including Gatsha Buthelede of South Africa's largest tribe, the Zulus—have rejected the homeland policy.
Transkei was created as a democratic republic but has evolved into a one-party state with major opposition leaders jailled and the government laws modeled after those of South Africa.
AP, UPI sued by judge
MILWAUKEE (UPI)-Former Dane County Judge Archie Simchione filed suit in federal court yesterday against the two major news services, alleging their news accounts of his remarks in a court hearing in October, when his removal in a recall election last year.
Simpson asked for $1.75 million in damages and the Associated Press filed a press release.
Simpson was removed from office after losing a recall election last Sept. 7. The recall effort was organized after news reports of a court hearing involving a 15-year-old boy who was accused of an alleged sexual assault at a Madison high school.
In the hearing, remarks were attributed to Simpson that many said were sexist and biased.

KU Y member upset at budget cut
"We are outraged," Ken Jones, student board member of KU-Y, said yesterday after learning that the organization had hired a student on Student Senate budget recommendations.
Staff Writer
"As we see it, the Senate's primary purpose on campus is to allocate the student activity fee and one more time, they failed," he said.
The Senate Student Services Committee cut KU-Y's $2,005.85 budget request Friday in an attempt to stay within the amount they received last year and about $4,000 less than last year's amount.
The Student Services Committee voted to ask the Senate to support KU-Y through unallocated funds after they cut the KU-Y budget request.
KU-Y, the oldest student organization at the University, sponsors programs that try to help students with special needs.
PHIL COBB, SENATE treasurer, said there were about $14,500 in unallocated funds this year and so far the various committees had recommended funding three groups solely through unallocated funds.
"As it stands now, all the groups should meet of the budget hearings in fairly good shape."
Unallocated funds consist mainly of excess activity fees collected when total
Jones said members of KU-Y did not know their budget had been cut until they read it in yesterday's University Daly Kansas. He said he was surprised by the story and that they had spent the day contacting individual senators and faculty members who were supportive for unallocated funds of the room.
Mary Beth Craig, chairman of the Student Services Committee, said there was not enough money to fund all the groups as fully as she could. But she cut the KU-Y budget request, she said, because it thought the group had a good plan for funding and therefore could secure unallocated funds.
Jones said that the KU-Y treasurer had been present for part of the committee's deliberations and that he left the meeting confident that the KU-Y budget proposal would be recommended for approval with only a minor cut.
"BUT IF THAT DOESN'T pass, what we Do? Close the doors?" Jones said.
enrollment exceeds Senate projections and of money not spent by Senate-funded groups
Craig said the committee had not planned to cut the request when the KUY-representation team met.
"WE REALIZED WHAT we were up against, but again it harder to cut groups like us."
She called KU-Y a "viable" organization
and said that the committee decided it would have a better chance for unallocated funds than other groups that did not have outside funding.
Jones said that KU-Y received a small sum from interest on an account with the Endowment Association and also received donations from KU alumni. But, he said, the donations fluctuated from year to year and could only be estimated in the budget.
He said KU-Y also received money from Rock Chalk Revue, but that money and the other outside funding had already been figured into the budget. Because of that, their request was "bare subsistence," he said.
"WE'RE WELL AWARE that many groups pad their budget requests, so they'll have something left after the cuts," he said, "but we didn't."
Drive for statue started by student-faculty group
A small student-faculty group last night unanimously decided to start a drive to purchase a new statue to place in front of the pew Green Hall.
The group of four faculty members and one students, who were the first to organize opposition to the proposed move of the Jimmy Green statue, said that they would make the first pledge of $100 toward the purchase of a new statue.
They said, however, that they were not "spearheading" the move for a new statue but would offer money, assistance and their services. That would be established for that purpose.

statue for the new Green Hall." Roy Laird, professor of political science and also a group member, said. "But not Jimmy Green."
The group proposed writing a letter this week to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, about the purchase of a new statue.
Currently under proposal by University of Kansas officials is the move of the Jimmy Green statue from in front of old Green Hall to new Green Hall.
They also agreed to have a meeting within the next two weeks with Dykes and Shankel and other faculty members about the acquisition.
"OUR PLEDGE IS hopefully to get students, faculty, alumni and friends of the University involved." Steve Grabow, architecture and a member of the group, said.
James Collier, director of University Relations, confirmed last night that he was seriously considering leaving the University of Kansas.
Collier, who has been at KU for three years, said he was offered a job as director of public affairs at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
Among those faculty members are Martin Dickinson, dean of the law school; Charles Eldredge, director of the Art Museum; and William Balfour. University ombudsman.
If he goes to Illinois, his tenure would begin July 1.
"WE NEED TO MAKE a turn in the positive direction," Grabow said, in reference to the recommendation for a new statue.
"We are still strongly in support of a nice
Those attending the meeting were Laird; Grabow; Curtis Biesinger, professor of architecture; Ruth McNair, emerita biology; and David Parris, Manhattan junior.
"I'm studying it carefully," he said. He expects to make a decision by the end of the term.
The jobs are similar in duties, he said. Both departments are the main sources for information about the universities, their publications, special events and programs.
Collier, also an assistant professor of journalism, supervised the Orend, a weekly newspaper in Paris.
