gress.
The losers, Jordaan said, will
be the blacks for whom the sanc
tions are designed to help and the
U.S. businesses that pull out.
“The U.S. unfortunately will
be the loser of this very danger
ous game it’s playing with our
country,” he said. “It will be de
moralizing to American business
and will mean a transfer of assets
to other countries. It’s a complete
fantasy to think only the South
African government will get
hurt.”
Other countries, like Japan, al
ready have taken over the mar
kets that American businesses
abandoned, Jordaan said.
Noting that many American
companies are desperate to get
out of South Africa, he called
U.S. attitudes toward his country
hypocritical. He asked the audi-

thinktk a full-field FBI background check,
ence of about 50 why Americans
are so selective about their mor
als; that if sanctions are imposed
against South Africa, why aren’t
they imposed against the Soviet
Union?
The U.S. media has made it
fashionable for Americans to
jump on the bandwagon oppos
ing South Africa, he said. But
Jordaan accused the media of dis
torting the story and said that
those demonstrating against
apartheid generally know little
about the actual social system in
the country.
“I don’t blame the ordinary
American for the impressions
created by the electronic and
written media,” he said. “I come
from a country the media love to
denounce.”
Jordaan said the white-black
confrontations have been greatly
exaggerated and that reforms are
gradually putting the black ma
jority on a more equal footing
with the mostly-white ruling class.
In the future, there will be equal
representation for everyone, he
said, but told the students not to
expect an overnight change in a
social system that has been ac
cepted for about 300 years.
“We are going to find a solu
tion, and the future system will
definitely not be based on apart
heid,” Jordaan said.
But, he said, the system won’t
be based on total equality, either.
“We’re not forcing people to
get apart from each other,” Jor
daan said, “but we’re not forcing
them together.”
He noted desegregation re
forms in universities, sports stadi
ums and trade unions as proof
that serious efforts are being
made to change the present sys
tem. The only laws remaining
that discriminate against South
African blacks, Jordaan said, are
thos requiring the separation of
residential living areas and a pop
ulation registration law.
Waylon Collins, president of
A&M’s Students Against Apart
heid, called Jordaan’s remarks a
“distortion of facts.” Collins ques
tioned Jordaan about the will
ingness of the South African gov
ernment to make significant
reforms in the political system.
Collins said the interests of the
South African government,
which he called a manifestation of
evil and the devil, will always be
with the whites.
Divestment and disinvestment
will perturb the economy, Collins
said, but are necessary if change
is to be made. He said negotiation
would have been credible in the
past but is not a feasible solution
now.
“Given the current situation,
the path is towards violent revolu
tion,” Collins said.

to give the Senate a nominee that
“they’ll object to just as much” as
Bork, his first candidate, who was re
jected on a 58-42 vote.
“Sometimes you make a facetious
remark and somebody takes it se
riously and you wish you’d never
said it,” Reagan replied to a report
er’s question. “That’s one for me.”
The president announced Kenne
dy’s selection in a nationally broad
cast appearance in the White House
briefing room, accompanied by the
judge, his wife, Mary, and their
! three children.
The choice appeared to be a clear
effort to end a politically embarrass
ing episode for Reagan, who once
said that winning Bork’s confirma
tion was his No. 1 domestic priority.
Abandoning any pretense of con
frontation with the Senate over
filling the vacancy, Reagan said,
“The experience of the last several
months has made all of us a bit
Reagan called for a bipartisan ef
fort to fill the opening, created by
the retirement in June of Justice Le
wis F. Powell.
On Capitol Hill, the reaction
echoed Reagan’s attempt to over
come the bitterness generated by the
Bork and Ginsburg nominations.
"I can’t see any good reason for
anyone opposing this, from Jesse
Helms to Teddy Kennedy,” said
Sen. Pete Wilson, R-Calif. Sen. Ken
nedy, D-Mass., had led the fight
against Bork, while Sen. Helms, R-
N.C., once had threatened to filibus
ter against Judge Kennedy as not
sufficiently conservative.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., chair
man of the Judiciary Committee that
will handle the nomination, said
“Kennedy seems on the surface like
a mainstream conservative justice
whom I can support, but I’m going
to withhold final judgment until I
know a lot more about him. Ob
viously, we have learned that it’s not
wise to be hasty in these nomi
nations.”
Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz.,
considered a swing vote on the Judi
ciary Committee on nominations,
said Kennedy “comes with good cre
dentials. He’s well respected.”
During a 35-minute meeting
Monday, Reagan asked Kennedy if
there was anything in his back
ground that would prove embarrass
ing, presidential spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said. He said there was
nothing.
Kennedy said he had been asked
if he ever smoked marijuana.
“The answer was — no, firmly,
no,” he said.
Kennedy, passed over when Rea
gan picked Ginsburg Oct. 29, was
flown to Washington last Saturday
when Ginsburg pulled out.
He underwent hours of “no-
holds-barred” questioning by Rea
gan’s top lieutenants Sunday about
his personal life and integrity, Fitz
water said. That was followed by 10
hours of interviews by FBI agents
Monday and Tuesday.
Among other things, FBI agents
looked into Kennedy’s onetime posi
tion as a lobbyist for liquor distillers
and opticians. White House chief of
staff Howard Baker reported to
Reagan Wednesday morning that no
problems had cropped up in Kenne
dy’s past, and the announcement
was hurriedly arranged.
Kennedy has written opinions
upholding capital punishment, the
legality of paying women less than
men in comparable jobs and the Na
vy’s policy of discharging sailors who
engage in homosexual conduct.
In his most highly publicized deci
sion, later upheld by the Supreme
Court, he struck down the “legis
lative veto” by which Congress lim
ited power in the executive branch.

Soviet newspaper exposes ills of psychiatry
MOSCOW (AP) — Arbitrary diagnosis, abuse
of power and bribery have tainted Soviet psychia
try, and a citizen can be found insane simply for
not kowtowing to employers, a Soviet daily said
Wednesday in a stunning expose.
“Psychiatric science and practice have long ago
been shut off from openness by a high and solid
fence,” the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper
said.
“Behind the fence, there is lawlessness,” it
added.
The paper’s six-column article was the longest
on psychiatric abuses to appear in the state-run
press and was clearly linked to the current cam
paign for “glasnost,” or greater openness on so
cial problems.
Due to the arbitrary way Soviet patients are
now diagnosed, the paper said, “the same person
can be recognized as a schizophrenic in Moscow,
a psychopath in Leningrad and healthy in Khar
kov.”
Although Komsomolskaya Pravda’s article was
groundbreaking by Soviet standards, it made no
reference to charges by human rights activists
and Western groups that psychiatric hospitals are
used to warehouse political prisoners.
In the past, some of the most serious charges
of abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union were
leveled by psychiatrist Anatoly Koryagin, 48, who
was sentenced to a labor camp in 1981 for his ac
cusations. He was released last February and al
lowed to emigrate to Switzerland.
On Oct. 29, Koryagin addressed the Royal
College of Psychiatrists in London and said the
Soviet Union withdrew from the World Psychiat
ric Association in 1983 to avoid the humiliation
of being suspended or expelled for using the sci
ence against political prisoners.
Vladimir Titov, a former political prisoner,
was released from a psychiatric hospital last
month. He told reporters Oct. 20 that at least a
dozen hospitals throughout the country hold
people convicted of political offenses.
Prisoners in such hospitals are subjected to
heavy medication, poor food and unhealthy liv
ing conditions, Titov said.
