qiorium be called, and so debate continued
and the vote was taken.
JON GILCHRIST, CHAIRMAN of the Senate Finance Committee and a School of Business senator, said the bill, if enacted, would violate state laws.
Gilchrist referred to an opinion written last month by Vickie Thomas, University general counsel. In her opinion, Thomas said the bill was not a good solution and that he direct the state's competitive bidding process.
Thomas' opinion was non-binding. Several days after she issued her question, Bunker wrote: "I think I should
Under state law, Thomas said, purchases with state money must be made through a competitive binding process, and the statutes do not give the Senate the power to restrict that process to exclude companies that do business in South Africa.
Thomas said in her opinion that Senate money was state money because it was
collected and kept by the state for the Senate
The bill has a clause that would make its provisions subject to state law, but Gilchrist said that clause made the bill just a piece of business and the intent to divest was still included.
"Then it's void," he said. "There won't be any bill there."
Gilchrist said the administration probably would strike the bill down if it were passed.
BUT CHARLES LAWYORN, off campus senator, said, "We should never restrain from acting because we are afraid of what the administration is going to do."
But Jeff Polack, Nunemaker senator and chairman of the Senate Rights Committee, questioned whether the bill would do more than just make a statement. And, he said, it singled out only one of many countries that practice what some consider violations of
'Let's not be so high and mighty about one
country," he said. "If we're going to go halfway, let's go all the way."
Polack and Gilchrist voted against the final bill, and Lawhorn voted for it.
Originally, the bill contained specific clauses that detailed how its provisions would be enforced, but those clauses were taken out by amendment.
He said the enforcement clauses could be included in later legislation.
Higherberger said, "The bill was originally designed to be preventative."
Lawhorn said during the debate that he was in favor of striking the clauses so that the bill would be easy to understand if it were put up to a campuswide vote.
Thom Davidson, chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, which would supervise the referendum, told senators at the beginning of the meeting that the committee would be able to include the question on next week's ballot.
"That experience will be fresh on their minds," he said. "They will moderate their views because they won't want to go through that again."
Winter said that the closeness of races such as Allen's, in which the incumbent had been known for maintaining hard-line partisan attitudes in the Legislature, might have shown these senators that such rigidness risked voter alienation.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Talkington, who is running for the Senate presidency for the next session, agreed in part with Winter's assessment of a greater

moderation, though he said it might be too optimistic.
Sorrell, assistant minority leader, said he didn't know yet whether the new members in the House and Senate would hurt Democratic efforts to introduce and pass legislation.
"I do know that Republican senators, along with Gov. Carlin, will be introducing bills to protect the environment," he said. "I think it's a growing sentiment in this state for that."

because she's not a resident of Douglas County," she said.
Another musician made his presence felt in a small way. Elton John, who was not expected to carry Douglas County, found a backer in the 4th District State Board of Education race. His vote came from the second precinct of the fifth ward, between Massachusetts and Delaware streets from 14th to 11th streets.
Minority seats remain nearly same in House
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The 29-member Congressional Black Caucus will return to the next Congress unchanged, while the House will have to elect a new member as a full of Tuesday's election.
Voting by the two ethnic groups — both targets of massive voter registration drives — was watched closely by both parties for potential indicators of future voting patterns
Although both groups went for Mondale, with blacks giving the defeated contender nearly 90 percent of their votes, the registration effort and increased turnout did little to diminish President Reagan's landslide victory.
BLACKS ALSO FAILED to translate the registration drive and the enthusiasm for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's nomination campaign that took place in the size of the black causes in Congress.
All 20 members of the caucus — including several who ran unopposed — won reelection handily.
Edolphus Towns, Major Owens and Charles Rangel of New York, Louis Stokes of Ohio, William Gray of Pennsylvania, Harold Ford of Tennessee and Mickey Leland of Texas
Returning incumbent Representatives, all Democrats, are: Ron Dellums, Julian Dixon, Augustus Hawkins and Mervyn Dymally of California; nonvoting delegate Walter Faurot of the District of Columbia; Charles R. McGrath of Illinois; Parren Mitchell of Maryland; John Conyers and George Crockett of Michigan; William Clay and Alan Wheat of Missouri;
IN THE TWO races in which black challengers were given long-shot chances of upsetting white Republican incumbents, black Democrat Robert Clark was narrowly defeated by Rep. Webb Franklin, D-Miss. Floyd Spence, R-S.C., who is white, decisively defeated black challenger Ken Moseley.
But blacks were credited with making the North Carolina Senate race between Republican Sen. Jesse Helms and Gov. James Hunt farther than it would have been otherwise.
Mondale also captured a majority of the Hispanic vote, despite a strong registration effort among GOP-minded Cuban-Americans in Florida.
The number of Hispanics in the House increased by one as Albert Bustamante, running unopposed in Texas' 23rd Congress, joined a group of Hispanic and one Republican Hispanic on the Hill.
Returning incumbents are Democratic Reps. Matthew Martinez and Esteban Torres of California, Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Robert Garcia of New York, E. (Kiki) de la Garza, Henry Gonzalez and Solomon Ortiz of Texas and Republican Rep. Manuel Lujan Jr. of New Mexico.
