Politics continued from p. 1
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Detroit.
Mondale said in Cincinnati that Reagan was "hatching plans to cut Social Security."
Responding from Washington, Speakens said. "There's no hidden agenda. There's no secret plan."
MONDALE, ASKED IN Pittsburgh why the president had clarified his position, said, "We smoked him out in the debate."
Mondale said Reagan, in effect, had been hunting that he would cut benefits for workers not yet on Social Security even though they were required to pay into the fund.
He said Reagan's pledge not to cut any benefits was "designed to protect the politics of the situation."
"It's a repetition of the old and the new Reagan that we see on almost every issue now. For four years, he's against Social Security and Medicare, and for four weeks, he's for it. Which Reagan will be president if he's re-elected?" Mondale asked.
Speakers said the pledge was not a new position for the president, but Mondale.
MONDALE SAID THAT before the 1984 election, Reagan had pledged not to cut
Social Security but that after the election, he had tried to cut it by 25 percent.
"Why are we to believe this pledge, given on the eve of the 1984 election, more than the almost identical pledge made before the 1980 election?" Monday asked.
The revised disability law that Reagan signed yesterday changes the process used for determining eligibility for the program or removing people from it. More than 400,000 people were cut from the program's rolls between March 1981 and April 1984, when the administration, under heavy political pressure, ordered an end to the removal.
ALTHOUGH CONGRESS HAD ordered the review, Democrats charged that the administration was far too zealous in slashing names from the list. Among other things, the new law requires benefits be paid during the appeal process.
Benefits have been restored to more than half of those who have appealed.
Mondale, in Cincinnati, assailed the White House for having a luncheon to honor Eleanor Roosevelt's centennial.
"You don't honor Eleanor Roosevelt by cozying up to racists in South Africa and dictators in Latin America," Mondale said.
"The worst thing that we can have happen is to use the donor's money in a way that he doesn't want it to be used," he said.
Seymour said that although the Endowment Association was against apartheid, it did not favor disinvestment.
Africa continued from p.1
THE ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION does not know how much of its almost $139 million in assets is invested in companies doing business in South Africa, Seymour said, because it looks a comprehensive list of such businesses. But he said the amount was minimal.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, student body
vice president and sponsor of the resolution,
said the Africa Fund, a national research
group, had published a list of more than 300
companies doing business in South Africa.
The list includes Coca-Cola Co. and International Business Machines, he said.
Seymour said the Endowment Association had a policy allowing donors to specify that their money not be invested in companies doing business in South Africa. Since the policy was adopted in 1978, two donors have used it.
Highberger said that the Endowment Association's termination of investments in
South Africa would make a statement to the companies and other universities. But
"THAT STOCK IS not going to sit around," Seymour said.
Higherberger said the bill prohibiting campus groups from buying from companies with ties in South Africa also would make a statement to the companies.
The bill would prohibit organizations that receive any part of the money that the Senate allocates from using the money to buy products from companies that do business in South Africa.

PORTA SAID SHE did not know whether the Nicaraguan government had notified the U.S. Embassy in Managua of the change in plans, nor did she know the status of Ramirez's usa application.
Ramirez applied for a visa with the State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Managua, she said. The embassy was to have on hand the application yesterday or today.
If he is allowed, Ramirez probably will visit the same places in December that he wanted to visit this month, she said.
Nunley said the trip was to have included stops at KU, the University of Texas in Austin, the University of California in Los Angeles and San Diego.
Richard Weeks, a spokesman for the State Department in Washington, said he did not know about the change of plans.
HE SAID HE did not have enough information to know whether approval of the current application would include approval of a later visit.
Nunley said the working title of the conference was "Fifth Annual Conference on International Affairs: Contadora and Prospects for Peace in Central America."
Contadora refers to four nations Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and Mexico
