Steven R. Schlesinger, director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, said that “although prison overcrowding is a problem in many areas of the country, incarcerated offenders are at least temporarily unable to victim ize the public.” The statistics-gathering arm of the Justice Department said that the nation’s state and federal prison population grew by 5.6 percent dur ing the first six months of 1985, to a record 490,041 inmates. ^ The increase in the number of in mates during the first half of the year — 26,183 prisoners — nearly equaled the 1984’s total increase. “Possible explanations for this re cord increase include a reduction in inmates released early from prison, greater use of mandatory sentencing laws and tougher sentencing prac tices by judges,” Schlesinger said. Nearly one-third of all state prison inmates were held in four states — California, Texas, New York, and Florida. The federal prison population grew at a faster rate than the states, however, increasing by nearly 10 percent, the report said.

South Africa Anti-apartheid protests spur divestitures (continued from page 1) told reporters Friday the protection ist measures now before Congress “would substantially raise costs to the American consumer . . ., reduce the availability of quality goods to the American consumer (and) deter eco nomic growth in a very significant way.” “Remember, if we go down that road, it would almost inevitably be followed by action abroad to restrict our exports,” Sprinkel said. “This means that more jobs will be lost than now exist, and it would be a di saster.” “The basic thrust” of administra tion policy “will remain unchanged,” Sprinkel said. “It will remain a mar ket-opening strategy, not a market closing strategy.” Elements of the administration plan, according to administration and congressional sources, include: • Legislation to strengthen the hand of the U.S. trade representa tive in cases involving unfair trading practices by foreign nations. • A $300 million “war chest” for the Export-Import Bank to help subsidize loan rates to selected U.S. manufacturers having difficulty sell ing their products abroad. The sub sidy would amount to the difference between the going U.S. rates and lower rates that some foreign coun tries can get to help them market ex ports. • A summit meeting of industrial nations to discuss exchange-rate problems. Lawsuit Associated Press A spring of campus protests and a summer of South African violence have swelled the ranks of colleges that are selling all or part of their in vestments in companies with deal ings in South Africa. Since April, when scores of U.S. campuses erupted in anti-apartheid protests, about 20 colleges and uni versities from Maine to Arizona have adopted policies of total or partial divestiture of South Africa-related holdings. Sixty-one -schools have sold nearly $300 million in such portfolio hold ings since tiny Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., became the nation’s first college in 1977 to adopt a South Africa-free investment policy, according to the American Commit tee on Africa, a New York-based anti-apartheid lobbying group. In recent weeks: • The University of Texas board of regents has decided to take up the issue of what to do about its $716.4 million in South African holdings at its Oct. 10 meeting in Arlington. • Columbia University, the scene last spring of some of the most bitter student demonstrations, announced it is likely to agree next month to di vest itself of its $39 million in stocks of companies with South African op erations. The plan has the support of Columbia President Michael Sev ern. Columbia, in New York, would be the first Ivy League college to adopt a policy of total divestiture of South African investments. • Rutgers University in New Jer sey, another hotbed of student pro test last spring, was considered all but certain to accept an investment committee recommendation made on Aug. 30 to sell its remaining $7.5 million in South African holdings. • The University of Iowa di vested itself of more than 90 percent of its South African-related hold ings. Some students were angered because the school insisted it acted for economic, not moral, reasons. By contrast, a committee set up to study divestiture at Iowa State Uni versity is expected to recommend shortly that the school sell its $550,000 in such holdings, for moral reasons. • The Arizona Board of Regents voted Sept. 6 to order the University of Arizona in Tucson and Arizona State University in Tempe to divest themselves of their $3.3 million in South Africa-related holdings as soon as possible. • Bitterly divided trustees of the University of Vermont opted last week for limited divestment of the school’s $7.3 million in South Africa- related investments. Vermont Gov. Madeleine Kunin argued in vain for full divestiture at the emotion- charged hearing. • The University of Massachu setts divested all of its $370,000 in South Africa-related stocks after years of student and faculty pres sure. • As a result of tightened invest ment policies adopted this summer, Oberhn College announced this past week it had sold U.S. Steel stock va lued at $620,000 and IMS Interna tional shares worth $142,000 be cause neither company had signed the “Sullivan Principles,” a voluntary code of conduct in which firms agree to work against apartheid. Among the schools that say they are reviewing their South African in vestment policies are Harvard, Yale, Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy, University of Southern Califor nia, University of Notre Dame, In diana University, Northwestern University, Johns Hopkins Univer sity, Brown University, the Univer sity of Rhode Island, and Wesleyan University. Wesleyan President Colin G. Campbell said that his Connecticut school had taken the position since 1978 that U.S. companies “can help to eliminate the evils of apartheid.' But he said last week, “The abilityof companies to meet this expectation is called into question by events of recent weeks.” More demonstrations are ex pected this fall at many campuses. especially schools like Princeton and Cornell where some students believe officials haven’t gone far enough or fast enough in selling South African investments. Cornell, which has $110 millionin such holdings and which has been reviewing its investment policies, has already had its first sit-ins of the young school year at its Ithaca, N.Y., campus. Princeton officials believe stu dents will continue this fall to protest that school’s $345 million in invest ments companies dealing with South Africa. In June, the school’s board of trustees reaffirmed its opposition to “broad divestment, but said it would consider selective divestiture in Oc tober. “If anything, over the summer the issue has become more heated for the students,” Princeton spokesman Justin Harmon said. “I don’t expect they’ll waste any time in gearing up for the fall. I would lx? very sur prised if nothing more occurred.” Number of unmarried couples living together rising, report says (continued from page 1) highly visible political issue” and that teachers and other state employees are “natural allies” for the faculty groups. Both Huber and Laane said that their administrative staff have been supportive. Texas A&M Provost Gordon Eaton said during last week’s Faculty Senate meeting that President Frank Vandiver would work with the faculty in granting emergency sick leaves on a “cAse-by- case” basis. Associated Press WASHINGTON — The number of unmarried couples living together has more than tripled since 1970, climbing to nearly 2 million as young Americans continue to postpone marriage, the Census Bureau re ported Sunday. There were 1,988,000 unmarried couple households as of March 1984, the Census Bureau said in a study of Marital Status and Living Arrangements. The report also found that young people are postponing marriage, with median age at tying the knot higher than at any time since the turn of the century. And it noted that just since the 1980 census, young people have shown less inclination to set up housekeeping on their own, with those not married or cohabiting more often remaining with their parents. “A number of factors may be con tributing to the change in the living arrangements of young men and women, including the postponement of marriage, rise in divorce, em phasis on advanced education, em ployment problems and high hous ing costs,” the report said. The total of 1.9 million unmar ried couples in 1984 was up from 523,000 such couples in 19/0 and 1.6 million in the 1980 census, the agency said. And besides increasing in num ber, the couples themselves are con siderably different from those counted in 1970 — being younger and more likely to have a man as householder. The term householder has re placed the older “head of house hold,” which feminist groups found objectionable. Householder is the person contacted by census takers, and other members of the home are defined in relationship to that indi vidual. The Census Bureau does notask people about the nature of their relationships with one another, and unmarried couples can range from young folks cohabiting to an invalid with a live-in nurse. However, changes in the makeup of unmarried couples offer some in dications of how this group has changed over the years. For example, unmarried couples are younger today than in the past. The 1984 figures show that in 77.6 percent of unmarried couples, the householder was under age 45, compared to 27.2 percent in 1970. The report found that in 1984 the median age for people getting mar ried for the first time was 25.4 years for men and 23 years for women. That was the highest age at first marriage for women ever recorded, and the top for men since 25.9 in 1900. For Sale: Rockhopper-18V^”, 15 speed specialized all terrain bike. Great tor campus too.
