'I'm disappointed'
Editor:
I am extremely disappointed in Mr.
Grieco's story of the Burroughs Computer
purchase dated 9/8. Your slory was ex¬
tremely biased in not showing why the
purchase has been blocked by myself and    «Thank-VOUS in Order'
As stated, a resolution was passed last
semester by the senate which called for ne
new investments in companies doing bus¬
iness in or with the government of South dei
Africa. Investments here means purchase Thank-yoi
of equipment-or supplies: Now Mr.
Rodriguez is misled in stating that the
resolution does not stop the senate from
purchasing the Burroughs Computer sys¬
tem. The resolution is binding as all others
in ihe past have been. The main reason for
a resolution is to lake a stand and then

Keep money out
of South Africa
Reasonable people oppose apartheid, that malignant-form
of racial segregation practiced in South Africa, which is
reminiscent of the aristocratic South of Civil War days. One's
stance on this matter is a simple choice. But the task gets
tougher when one considers divestment. Should one's monies
be pulled out of South Africa? Would such a move benefit
that nation's blacks, that 90 percent of the populace
subjugated by the white 10 percent? 	
According to the latest figures, the CSUF Foundation has a
"book value" of nearly $402,000 invested in companies doing
business in South Africa. That's 13 percent of all its invest¬
ments. In early 1980, because of its concerns.for "social
responsibility," it told its investment counselors to put the
Foundation's money only into corporations adhering to the
Sullivan Principles, specifically those "making good pro¬
gress" and those "making progress."
Money generated through the Foundation's investments go
to worthwhile things such as scholarships. Their intentions
are good. They have the fiduciary responsibility of collecting
profitable returns on their investments, so that they can be
spent on worthy causes.
However, the Foundation, as well as others with invest-

are obvious, and I hope you agree that
