Pope visits Venezuela
Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — Pope
ohn Paul II condemned abortion,
terilization and divorce Sunday as
he celebrated Mass before hundreds
pf thousands of people who endured
idfling tropical heat in this nomi-
rally Catholic country where abor-
ion is common.
“Remember, it is never legal to
end a human life with abortion or
Euthanasia,” the Polish-born pontiff
fold the crowd of at least 500,000
icople who gathered in an open
ielct beneath a hillside shantytown.
J John Paul, the first pope to visit
Venezuela, was greeted oy cheers
nd singing Saturday when he ar
rived in Caracas, his first stop on a
lour-nation trip that will take him to
Kcuador, Peru and Trinidad-To-
lago. The journey is the pontiffs

sixth to Latin America and his 25th
abroad.
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.

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.

There's a lively spirit that brings
out the competitive nature of stu
dents in plans for the Banquet at the
Sixth Annual Business Career Fair.
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.
On sale Monday through Friday
January 28 - February 1 at $6.50, in
the Blocker lobby, the best Banquet
tickets will likely go to the students
w ho Imv theirs early.
