South Africans plead for asylum
By JUDY WOODBURN
Staff Reporter
Michael Morgan and Donald Morton are the founders of GIS, a society that she shares, giving talks and distributing literature to up dum up American support for the black liberation movement in South Africa.
Morton, a white Methodist minister and former Rhodes scholar, fled South Africa eight years ago after facing arrest for exposing the torture of a black friend.
But two years ago, Morgan, a white deserter of the predominantly white South African Defense Force, was leaving his base to the very people he now fervently welcomes.
Both Morgan and Morton told about 30 men they had joined them that they had left South Africa because they longer could conde and apartheid and the "boddy murder of thousands of black South Africa."
The two men are involved in the South African Military Aid Fund, a New York-based group that wants the U.S. government to provide asylum to South African drafters.
"JIMMY CARTER hoots and bolsters human rights with a vengeance." Morton is unrepentant. "I will repair the mess in South Africa. The least he can do is grant asylum to the people who have been treated."
Morton said the fact that the conscious objects were sympathizing with the Soviet-armed Nnamibian nationalist forces in Khartoum for the United States to deny them asylum.
The black South-West African People's Organization in Namibia seeks autonomy from white South African rule.
MORTON SAID that so far, Western nations had granted political asylum to South African drafters.
"Traditionally," Merton said, "liberation movements come first to the United States to seek support, but the United States deescribe it. So they take help where they can get."
According to Morgan, if the United States were to set a precedent for granting asylum to conscious objects, it would make a large dissociation of anherder rule in South Africa.
"At least 10,000 South Africans have gone underground to resist the draft," he said.
Morgan is editor of Omkeer, an underground newspaper that provides information for war resisters wanting to leave South Africa.
Morgan said that at the age of 17, white dream manates must register months in a military training program called the SADF. This includes a mandatory service in the SADF operation areas of Namibia and the southern Djibouti.
DURING HIS service with the SADF, Morgan said, he witnessed the atrocities of an aethiopian military training.
They would spread out the dead bodies of Namibian villagers for us to troop past and what a dead terrorist looked like. Then, they would show us how we had sent to Pretoria for finer printkeys.com.
He said that some SADF officers had even cut off the heads of dead Nambibians and shrunk them to hang as wall decorations in their officers' clubs.
Morton expressed support for the movement at KU and elsewhere in the country to persuade universities and big businesses to diversify from South Africa.
"AS WHITES, we must allow ourselves to be led by the blacks, for they are the only ones who can fully understand the nature of the struggle."
"These big institutions defend themselves by saying that the blacks in South Africa will only suffer more if United States businesses withdraw.
"If the United States were to cut South Africa off, the entire apartheid regime would collure within six months."
"BUT EACH minute of every day, a black child is dying of starvation. Every day, it hurts. Every minute, it mines. How can they suffer any more? Nothing short of destroying the entire planet."
Morton accused the United States of supplying arms and ammunition to the SADF and supporting companies that did business with South Africa.
The resistance movement in the United States must be led by black Americans if it is to be successful. Morton said.
"If it requires an arms struggle, let me be an arms struggle. I am honestly say that I am not a terrorist and that superdesed the holocaust in terror. Something's got to be done to stop them."

Kansas City civil rights leader target of intimidation campaign
Staff Reporter
By JEFF SJERVEN
Emanuel Cleaver awoke early Thursday morning, looking out the window and saw a tall friend sighting. One of our lawn stood the charred remains of a symbol of black oppression for the last century.
In recent weeks, Cleaver, a city councilman, a minister and an outspoken civil war supporter, has been the target of a campaign of intimidation that has prompted 24-hour police raids.
Cleaver said the Ku Klux Klan had left a ticket to Africa and a Nazi newspaper in his mailbox.
"The week before the cross-burning," Cleaver said, "the windows on the west side of our house were broken with out doors. Molotov cocktail thrown in our driveway."
"The police had in fact beefed up patrols in our area, but not to the point where they could catch these people."
"I don't have a cure for all of our problems, and I'm not setting myself up as a deity. I don't want to be a marty, but I am willing to carry the cross."
CLEAVER IS the pastor of St. James Gregory United Methodist Church at 3000 E. Gregory Blvd., in Kansas City, MO.
Cleaver said he was no stranger to strangers attacks, having打led small and large civil rights campaigns for 20 of 34 years. Harassment, he said, was to be expected.
"That's a part of what I'm doing," he said. "I call myself a Christian and that means that I've got to be willing to carry the cross."
Cleaver said he was singled out for intimidation because he was black, out-spoken and held political power.
"I never understood why I had to accept second-hand books. We at Booker T. Washington High School received books from the library and the fifth school were finished with them."
Clever first became conscious of racial discrimination when he attended segregated schools in Wichita Falls, Texas.
"I HAVE NEVER been a person who worked very quietly." he said.
As an athlete, Cleaver also wondered
why his school's football program received second-hand equipment.
"The newspapers would run big articles about the lineup for the high white school teams," he said. "We never got any attention like that."
Cleaver's first experience as a civil rights leader came at age 15 when he led a march through downtown Wichita Falls to protest segregated movie theaters.
Although his first demonstration failed to produce results, he said, his actions caught the attention of the Southern Leadership Conference in Atlanta.
"ABOUT THE only recreation we had was to drive around in cars," he said. "We felt that we had to do something beyond just driving around on Sundays, so we demanded the right to go to the剧场 for movies, the theater owners turned us down."
"I was selected captain of the football team during my senior year in high school, but my coach didn't want me that in the game," the other officer was too bad. So I started working on it.
"When injuries prevented me from playing football, I found that I had another interest available that eventually became the ultimate interest of my life."
Cleaver said he decided to apply his social beliefs to the ministry when he began a study at St. Joseph's King Jr., Ralph Abernathy and Andrew Young, in minister in the Southern University School of Music.
The first obstacle to his development as a civil rights leader, Cleaver said, was his temper.
"Before that, my concept of the ministry was limited," he said. "I thought ministers would just come to church, preach, go to the hospital and host pot luck dinners."
"I DIDN'T KNOW it is the time, but that prepared me for the nonviolent civil rights struggle. I've been called just about anything you can imagine."
"A white woman stabbed me with a fork in Birmingham Ala., and I had to turn around and say 'God bless you.'"
"But when I began to hear people like Ralph Abernathy talk about the universal aspect of the gospel, I realized that there
was no aspect of human existence that was exempt from the influence of the church.
Taking this view into consideration, Cleaver said, it was impossible to separate his role as minister from his roles as politician and civil rights leader.
"THE CHURCH ought not be the taillight of society, but should be the headlight that shines and gives direction to the world."
"Taking action on political and social issues is as much a part of my ministry as performing wedding ceremonies and hosting events," he said. "When I stand up on the floor of the city council chamber and address an issue, I theological commitment of my servant."
"I RESENT intellectual social activism.
I take a daer, not a philosophy. To apologize for the injustice of women in faith without any works to back up the faith.
Minsters cannot be back half-haked
Ministers cannot be half-haked
Cleaver said ministers were obligated to play active roles in social change.
"I don't understand all the controversy that arose when Andy Young said Richard Nixon was in office and said, "Of course they were racists; Ridges of Nixon is probably the supreme criticism."
Cleaver said recent attacks on him and other black leaders was indicative of a resurgence of racism in the United States.
"There is a tremendous resurgence of new-conservatism in this country."
Cleaver said that he saw a possibility of a resurrection in the civil rights movement, but that it would differ substantially from the movement of the 1960s.
"WE HAVE JUST begun to realize that new civil rights movement will have an impact on our lives when we come coming when we will stop calling ourselves a minority, because half the world's population is white."
Cleaver represents representatives of Third World countries have said they wanted to do business with blacks in the United States.
"I predict that within the next 10 years, blacks will hold the key to America's survival in the world," he said. "It's no

Gil Dyck, dean of the office of admissions and services, said yesterday that he would

DYCK HAD said earlier that the IDs could be distributed at the Kansas Union, the Satellite Union or Wescoe Hall.
The IDs, Dyck said, probably would be students. Students with names beginning with *i*, students with half of the alphabet would receive their IDs on the first day, and the remainder next

Julian said the University would determine other future uses for the cards.
DOLLAR MAID the cards could be used if the University implemented computerized pre-enrolment or possibly as a charge card for the Kansas Union Bookstore.
The original distribution date was September 15, but University officials decided to delay production of the IDs to change graphics on the back of the card.
The graphics change was made for library use, Julian said.
Temporary student ID cards, which were issued to students at enrollment, expired Sent. 17.
