75 March on Mass Hall In Third Day of Protest

For the third day in a row, activists marched from the Law School to Massachusetts Hall to protest Harvard's investments in companies doing business in South Africa.

The rally drew some 75 protesters--the largest group yet--including Law School professors, members of a South African Black political group, and student leaders who attacked President Bok's policies as "hypocritical at best, racist at worst," in the words of one.

Professor of Law Duncan M. Kennedy '64 held a banner at the march--the third in as many days--adding his support of the divestment cause to that of Morton J. Horwitz, Warren Professor of American Legal History, who spoke to the demonstrators on Monday.

Law student Gregory J. Gumina, a member of the University's 12-member Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility, which advises the Harvard Corporation on its investments, told the protestors that a recent study by an independent research organization showed that Harvard would actually earn a better return on its $2.3 billion if it invested only in companies which do not do business in the apartheid state.
