Students arrested in protest
By United Press International
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Police yesterday arrested 27 University of Florida students who chained the front door of an administration building during a protest of the school's investments in South Africa.
About 150 students were protesting for the second day on the front steps of Tigert Hall when some students pushed past university police and
bolted together the building's double front doors with a lock and chain.
A dozen officers rushed from the basement and started making arrests, handeing the students and faculty at the university, has that took them to jail.
The students were held at the Alachua County Detention Center for arraignment Friday on charges ranging from trespassing to resisting arrest.
Despite the arrests, student leaders vowed to continue demonstrating at the building until the university met demands to immediately withdraw all investments in companies dealing with the South African government.
"This is not a backlash of the 60s," said Paul Donnelly, one of the protestors. "We are a new generation of realists. We will continue to occupy the front entrance of Tigert Hall until something is done."
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George Shultz, a Marine officer in World War II in the Pacific, yesterday recalled the U.S. retreat from Vietnam and said the United States must not abandon Central America to a similar fate.
In an emotional appeal to State Department employees gathered in the flag-draped main lobby of the

State Department, Shultz drew a parallel between the lessons of Vietnam and Marxist-ruled Nicaragua.
Shultz appeals for contra aid
"Today we remember a setback," Shultz said of Vietnam. "But the noble cause of defending freedom is still our cause. Our friends and allies still rely on us. Our responsibility remains."
He defined the "bloodshed and misery" of the Vietnam War, in which more than 50,000 Americans
were killed, as a period "when America lost faith in herself."
"This must never happen again," Shultz said, in obvious reference to President Reagan's appeal — rejected by Congress — to continue military aid to contras waging guerrilla war against the Soviet and Cuban-supported Sandista regime in Nicaragua.
Shultz said up to 15,000 "brave Nicaragans" were fighting against a communist regime.
