Introd uction ii

This is a booklet of news clippings and other pertinent material from the struggle to enforce the international sports boycott of South Africa at Oregon State University from 1980 through 1982. The struggle took place because of campus sporting ties with apartheid South Africa that violated the international ban on sports with that country ruled by a white-minority regime. Hence, it involved educating students, the local community and others throughout the state about the South African system of racial domination and oppression called "apartheid."

Oregon press items in this booklet are primarily from the campus Daily Barometer and the local Gazette-Times. There is also material from other newspapers in the state: the Oregonian, the (Salem) Statesman- Journal, the (Eugene) Register-Guard, the Portland Observer, the (Roseburg) News-Review, the Redmond Spokesman, the (Prineville) Central Oregonian and the Blue Mountain Eagle published in John Day.

The African Students' Association led the campus movement which IJreceived the strong support of Sally Duhaime of the Daily Barometer whose writings were of the highest quality. The campaign brought plays and prominent anti-apartheid speakers to campus, as well, so ' these activities will be found in these news clippings. This booklet is a component of "The Oregon Anti-Apartheid Files", a much larger collection of material from the statewide anti-apartheid movement. Those files are deposited at the African Activist Archive Project at Michigan State University. A copy of the Introduction and Table of Contents for "The Oregon Anti-Apartheid Files" can be found at the end of this booklet. Further information on the African Activist Archive Project is posted online: http://africanactivist.msu.edu/

Dr. Robert MacVicar, President Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331

Dear President MacVicar:

We have learned with great dismay that the Oregon State University wrestling team will be touring and wrestling in South Africa from August 24th to October 4th with Dale Thomas, the wrestling coach, and Ben Purvis, the campus media center director,

We strongly oppose that visit which is in direct violation of the United fNations sports boycott of South Africa. Certainly the visit by represen- I tativesof Oregon State University to South Africa will be of great propaganda value to the apartheid regime. It is the only country in the world under an international sports boycott and it is desperately seeking j contact with athletes that will ignore it. Can YOU imagine how delighted the apartheid regime will be to find a wrestling team in the United States that will not recognize that boycott?At the same time, can you imagine the surprise and shock that will be registered with all the international and national sporting bodies that have honored it? We cannot imagine that you will approve of the image that Oregon State University will develop a friend.of racist South Africa. as Nor can we imagine that the Oregon State University students who have been recruited by Dale Thomas are aware of the intolerable conditions U which the African majority experience daily in South Africa. Are they to be permitted to go simply because they are curious and naive?Are they aware of the possible consequences of their visit for their future in sports?Are they aware of the possible results for their team and the Oregon State University athletic program?

You will certainly remember that Dale Thomas has previously ignored that boycott. In September 1980 he was host to 17 white South African wrestling 11coaches" who were, according to the Corvallis Gazette-Times, I taking the skills he taught back to the police, army, and private wrestling J clubs of South Africa. We voiced our deepfelt opposition to OSU being cast in the role of training those who will aid the South African police army. We cannot forget that Steve Biko died in the hands of those landvery police. The South African army is daily brutalizing our brothers and sisters in South Africa and Namibia. Are we to be accomplices? Certainly notl That is why we sponsored the many educational programs about Southern Africa during the Fall Term, 1980, on our campus. the about information more you up-to-date with supply to like would we Yet, year. one almost for campus on debated publicly been has Africa South like nations "pariah" with ties now, University's State Oregon of question the for by issues these of aware are you that hope certainly We McEnroe?

After you have had the opportunity to read thesematerials, and after have had the opportunity to you acquaint yourself withthe details of the visit, J we would like to request an audiencewith you to explore this further. issue Of course we wouldassume this would take place in before the scheduled departure good time date of the wrestlingteam on August 24th. We are most anxious to know more about two particularissues. what.way, if any, is OSU First, in contributing financiallyto that visit? will OSU move to stop the Second,. visit in the interest ofthe university? does the wrestling team Third, plan to visit independentAfrican countries outside of South Africa? If so, they should know that theyare violating the general policy for sportslaid down by the Supreme Africa which says that Council for Sports in teams participating inapartheid South Africa cannot participate inindependent Africa.

We should also inform you that we are posting copiesof this letter to very broad representation of a individuals and organizationswhom we believe will want to know aboutOSU's developing relationship Africa. with apartheid South Recipients include individualsin Corvallis; state organizations and individuals officials; within the PAC-lOuniversities; US national sporting bodies; sporting bodies in Europe andAfrica (including the Supreme Council for Sports in Africa); nationalbodies in this country which oppose apartheid;and UN Missions of the OSU has or proposes academic African countries withwhom or "aid" relations (becauserelations with independent Africa are inconsistentwith relations with Africa). apartheid South

Water. "They reaffirmed that just last week," he said. The AAU governs international eligibility, while the National Collegiate Athletic Association handles intercollegiate competition. Krone, in a telephone interview from Lincoln, Neb., s'id that the African nations boycotted the 1976 Olympics because the International Olympic Commit. tee refused to eject New Zealand after its rugby team played In South Africa. "And rugby's not even an Olympic sport," he said. Jack Davis,, associate dean of agriculture and the school's representative to the Pacific 1.0 Conference, called the proposed trip an extremely serious matter with the African nations. "That could trigger something," he said. Davis said the wrestlers also could lose their eligibility for intercollegiate competition because of an NCAA rule against wrestling during the summer.

Hi1 fl p.- University denies., I" >.. j > 'S.A. trip request 'ByDONNASTROBEL . V.)'OftheBaroineter .0, The decision not to request the permission of the NationalCollegiateAthleticAssociationforOSIJ / - - wrestling coach Dale Thomas to take a team of wrestlers to South Africa nest month. was made July21 by a group of college administrators. Thomas had planned to take a group of 12 OStJ wrestlers and 7 other athletic boosters on a five-week competitionl exhibition in South Africa In late August. "Mr. Andros (OSU.athletic director) recommended that we (the university) not get Involved In the matter," said President Robert MacVicar. MacVicar said. this should not have been a university matter in the first place, but "we inadvertently got involved." Andros told the Barometer last Wednesday morning that the decision to deny this request was made by Jack Davis, Pac-lO faculty representative. Jack Rainey, assistant athletics professor, and himself. 1 Without the recommendation of this university to the NCAA, the trip most likely would have been denied by that athletic body, Andzos said. And without NCAA sanction, those participating in it could have been barred from competition. In making the decision, he said the "number one" concern was the wrestlers. The second áoncern, said Andros, was what the trip would do to the athletic department as a whole. "We had to think of the overall program," he said. Andros said he was able to meet with Jim Baumgard- ner, one of the sophmore wrestlers planning togoon this trip. "1 felt very good about talking with Jim. I did what he asked me to do which was to get him an audience with 0 the president. "I have all the sympathy and sensitivity I could possibly 0 have for the kids who, I'm sure, had their hearts seton 'I, going," said Andros. . Thomas said hewillnow select a team of wrestlers to > make the trip anyway- wrestlers who aren't concerned 0 about eligibility.

He said the ASA is gratified that the decision conforms to the United Nations resolution to isolate South Africa p from all international sports because of its racist policy.

Prejudice. To the Editor: Now let me get this straight. - Mr. D.R. Van Der Merwe (GT Readertorial 10-17-82) who is apparently speaking for the South AfricanNationalWrestling t'ederation accuses the African National Congress of being a communistic.terrorist organiza ion, The government of South Africa which. he so strongly -supports, repeatedly violates the borders of Angola and kills it in- habitants, and illegally occupies. a àountry (Namibia) which it has economically exploited for over 60 years leaving its indigenous population In a state of political md economic underdevélop- ment. In addition, it not only does not allow non-white to vote for the South African government, but detains, bans, or kills it opponents. Mrs. yan:Der Werwe even approved of thedeath of Steve Biko who was killed while in police custody without having been convicted or even charged with any crime. So who are the real terrorists in SouthAfrica? Mr. Van Der Merwe's attitudes reflect a disregard-for lawand justice which is- repugnant to all ivilized societies, However, his letter is illuminating because It reveals a limited vision and pre-' judice, which if characteristic of the South African government in general, indicates why the only avenue for change Is violent.

The cultural exchange program and its controversial director, Oregon State University wrestling Coach Dale Thomas, have been conducting a bitter feud with the Amateur Athletic Union for the past several years. The AAU Is the only U.S. organization sanctioned for international wrestling exchanges by the Interna- tional Wrestling Federation, and the AAU has turned thumbs down on any Independent exchanges by Thomas' group. "We are one of the orginators of wrestling cultural exchanages In the world," Burton said. "Doggone It, 'we started It (Thomas founded the Oregon program in 1964). Now we can't get out, and we can't get anybody else in.' "That hurts our feelings a little bit. We don't like anybody else telllngus what to do with our organiza-

tion.". - Some of the bitter feelings between the Oregon Wrestling Cultural Exchange and the,AAU stem from Thomas' close ties with South Africa. The Internation- al federation refuses to, admit South Africa because of that country's racial policy of apartheid. Thomas came under fire by some of the rank and 'file members of the cultural exchange program last fall but survived a move to oust him in mid-January. "It became apparent to us that even if Dale resigned, we would still have a lot of difficulty getting a foreign trip approved because of our philosophical differences with the AAtJ," said Burton, wrestling coach at Oregon City High School. The Oregon Wrestling Cultural Exchange has $230,000 available to finance foreign trips, "We've' -established a committee to look into our differences with the AAU," Burton said.

~~Introduction~~

This box of files contains material on the anti-apartheid struggle in the state of Oregon from 1975 through 1985. These struggles took place because of existing links between Oregon and Apartheid South Africa.

It is organized according to three activities designed to break those links. The first activity was to get Oregon State University to honor the international sports boycott of Apartheid South Africa. The second was to pressure the state legislature to pass a divestment bill. The third was to shut down the South African Consulate in Portland.

While all three movements enlisted statewide support, each had its flashpoint. For the international sports boycott it was Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis where the wrestling coach, Dale Thomas, had been violating the international ban on sports contact with South Africa since the early 1970s by taking local wrestlers there and bringing South African Defense Force wrestlers to Oregon. The campaign to stop these exchanges began seriously in 1980 through the initiative of the African Students' Association at OSU.

It was activist students in the law faculty at the University of Oregon in Eugene, 40 miles east of OSU, who spearheaded the divestment campaign in the state from 1978 to 1987. James Campbell, one of the most dedicated activists, has provided a legal history of this struggle.

The third activity was inspired by the Free South Africa Movement sit- ins in late 1984 at the South African embassy in Washington DC. Similar sit-ins followed nationwide at South African Consulates. That at the Consulate in Portland, Oregon, was organized by a coalition of local groups coordinated by the American Friends Service Committee and the Black United Front in December 1984 and January 1985.

All three movements achieved their goals. The exchanges between Oregon and South African wrestlers ceased in late 1982 and the South African Consul resigned and closed the Consulate in early 1985. Two years later a divestment bill was passed by the state legislature.

These files were prepared by Ed Ferguson who arrived at Oregon State University in 1979 to teach African history and, soon after, became advisor to the campus African Students' Association. Ties were then established with anti-apartheid activists in Eugene, Salem and Portland 2 to create a statewide movement in support of a democratic and free South Africa.
