Abortion, although illegal, is com mon in Venezuela, where historic disputes between the government and the Vatican have limited the church’s authority. Church officials say about 80 percent of the country’s 16 million residents are baptized by the Roman Catholic Church, but only about 10 percent attend serv ices regularly. John Paul II, speaking in Spanish atop a specially constructed 60-foot- hign altar decorated with red and yellow flowers, called on Roman Catholics to fight against the “plague of divorce that ruins families and has such negative effects on the educa tion of children.” Facing the makeshift slums that ring the modern skyscrapers in this overcrowded valley city of four mil lion people, the pope said contracep tion and sterilization were “always seriously illicit.” He said parents “in a clearly re sponsible way” should decide the number and spacing of their chil dren. “John Paul is our friend! Venezu ela is with you!” crowds chanted at the end of the almost three-hour Mass. The Interior Ministry said be fore the Mass that 500,000 people were already on hand, but there was no estimate of the size of the crowd that actually heard the pope speak. All stood in the hot tropical sun shine, and medical officials at the scene said about 150 people were treated for heat prostration before the morning Mass began. Associated Press JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The divisions among blacks that appeared during U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy’s visit two weeks ago is forcing black leaders to confront a generation-old split over the role whites can play in the struggle against white-minority rule. Many blacks have scorned a small Black Consciousness group that dogged Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, with protests and pre vented him from making a keynote address to end his 10-day trip to South Africa. However, some leading blacks say the wounds opened by the protests may help blacks realize they must stand together. Df. Nthato Motlana, leader of a group of blacks known as the Soweto Committee of Ten, said the anti- Kennedy protests were caused less by anti-Americanism than a growing “anti-whitism.” Motlana said the attitude stems from frustration among blacks at the failure to achieve any tangible pro gress against the system pf white domination, known as apartheid. He recalled the spontaneous out pourings of affection for Kennedy’s brother, Robert, when he visited South Africa in 1966. The differences that cropped up during Kennedy’s visit two weeks ago date back at least to the late 1950s, when the African National Congress was the major legal black resistance group. It worked peace fully in an alliance with white liberals against laws denying equal rights to blacks. In 1959, a splinter faction called the Pan-Africanist Congress broke away from the group, pledging to “drive whites into the sea.” The group still exists in exile, but has al most no visible support in South Af rica. The African National Con gress, banned in 1960, still commands enormous support among blacks in the country, and wages a sabotage campaign from abroad. In 1969, the Black Consciousness Movement emerged. Its motto was, “Black Man, you are on your own.” Mexico City importing beef to ease current short supply Associated Press MEXICO CITY — Shipments of imported cattle have begun from the United States and Central America to help resolve a more than two- week-old meat shortage, govern ment officials said, but beef was still in scarce supply in the capital. Beef was available in restaurants and in some large supermarkets, but some other major supermarkets were selling only chicken, pork and fish this weekend. Ernesto Rodriguez Cabrera, pres ident of the Free Union of Butchers, estimated 40 percent of butcher shops were closed, the newspaper Excelsior said Sunday. He said some animals were slaughtered Saturday, but butchers continued to be charged up to $1.27 a pound instead of the official price of 96 cents a pound. He said that makes it impossible for them to sell at the official retail price, $1.91 a pound. When available, beef has fjeen selling much higher, but in spectors can close shops for violating the official price.

For a week before the banquet, stu dents will be vying for positions with favorite companies. I he Business Career Fair Banquet will be held at 7pm in the Brazos Center on Tuesday February 5th. I'ickets go on sale January 28-Feb- ruarv 1 in the Blocker Building lohhv at $6.50 per person. Seating at the banquet is arranged to encourage dinner conversations between students and company re cruiters. Each company attending the Fair will have its own table, or ta llies, and each student attending the Banquet has a chance to choose a preferred table. Company sign-up lists are con trolled at the tic ket sales table, and students must purchase a ticket in advance to sign-up. according to Marlin Rimes, ticket sales chairman. Each year there is heavy competition among students to sign up at popu lar company tables. “There are a lot of advantages to the arrangement," said Rimes, “even if all students don't get the company tables they prefer.'' The experience of having a con versation with an official w ho is acti vely recruiting for his company is an educational experience, Rimes said. Students learn things about what companies expect and about how to relate to recruiters. This helps in f u ture interviewing lot jobs. Highlight of the banquet program each year is recognition of the aca demic high achievers of the College of Business Administration. Some 70-80 students will receive honors for their outstanding performances in the classroom. Attendance at the annual banquet has increased each vear. Starting in 1980 with approximately 350 pre sent, the event had 850 present in 1984. Seating at the Brazos Center is limited, but Rimes' expects some 900 students to buy tickets this week.
