Juniors Andrea Frolich and
Linda Mann were two of six
Georgians who went to Wash
ington, D.C., Wednesday night to
lobby for the interests of Soviet
Jewry.
“Showing them it’s important
enough for us to fly up here,”
Mann said, “that’s a big part of
what we wanted to do.”
The Soviet Union has a history
of Jewish persecution since the
early Middle Ages. Though glas-
nost, peristroika and new emi
gration laws have made the
Jewish life easier in many ways,
it’s also brought complications,
Mann said.
“Economic tensions have
caused people to look for blame,”
she said. “And groups in Russia
are now forming that say that
Jews are to blame. They actually
want to form programs to kill
Jews."
Afler a general briefing on the
recent changes in the Soviet
Jewish community, Frolich and
Mann both visited the staffs of
Sen. Wyche Fowler and Sen. Sam
Nunn. The senators themselves
were in a congressional session
and unable to meet with them.
However, Frolich met with her

and spoke on such issues as U.S.
support for Jewish emigration
from the Soviet Union and Is
rael’s attempt to absorb the
growing masses.
The American Jewish commu
nity has done much to assist the
Soviet Jews in their adjusting to
recent freedoms.
“B’nai B’rith, a Jewish Amer
ican organization, has even set
up a synagogue in Russia now,”
Frolich said. “Right next to Mc-
Students also discussed concerns
about Soviet Jews at a south
eastern political leadership confer
ence at Duke University this
weekend. Fifteen University stu
dents attended the two-day
seminar sponsored by B’nai B’rith
and the American Israel Public Af
fairs Committee. Some workshops
focused on what students can do to
have their opinions heard.
Nations praise Mandela’s release
The Associated Press
LONDON — Britain called on
Monday for a swift relaxation of
sanctions against South Africa to
save President F.W. de Klerk from
being toppled by a white backlash.
But most otner countries said
the release Sunday of black leader
Nelson Mandela wasn’t enough to
warrant easing sanctions. The 12-
nation European Community ap
peared likely to isolate Britain on
the issue, and President Bush said
it was too early to talk about lifting
sanctions.
The Soviet Union, which armed
Mandela’s African National Con
gress guerrilla movement, and
China joined in expressions of de
light at Mandela’s freedom.
Most African nations, including
powerful Nigeria, said the conti
nent’s last white government had
taken a significant step but should
still be isolated. However, two
West African conservatives, the
Ivory Coast and Gabon, urged
closer ties with South Africa.
Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher wrote to fellow European
Community leaders Sunday
seeking an end to a 1986 ban on
new investment in South Africa
and to a ban on promoting tourism
there. European Community for
eign ministers will consider the
proposal at a Feb. 20 meeting.
Ireland, current president of the
European Community, said it be
lieved the trade bloc should main
tain its embargoes. The relatively
mild sanctions include bans on im
ports of cool, iron and gold coins.
“President de Klerk displays
great moral courage ... but (it is)

nification, Martin Hillenbrand, co
director for the East-West Center
for Trade Policy said at the Georgia
Alumni Society 1990 Seminar.
“East Germany is becoming
more and more a ward of the Fed
eral Republic," he said, citing as an
example East German goods that
are labeled West German so they
can enter the common market.
“Many big West German firms
have met with East German
firms,” Hillenbrand said. “All big
firms accept reunification as un
avoidable."
But before Germany can be reu
nified, he said, the Soviets must
withdraw their troops from East
Germany.
Hillenbrand said the United
States was committed to German
reunification by the 1954 Conven
tion on Relations.
‘The legal committments are
there,” he said. “We must not

While plans for a unified Ger
many are discussed, their economy
is falling ai>art. The 2,000 East
Germans who are leaving their
country daily are the cream of the
East German labor force.
“What is needed is a massive in
fusion of Western capital,” Hillen
brand said, noting that the
Japanese have promised Eastern
Europe one billion dollars in aid,
roughlv equivalent to what the
United States pledged.
West Germans don’t like the in
flux of East Germans, he said, be
cause it has caused housing
shortages and has strained the
welfare system.

Prime Minister Brian Lenihan.
Other big trading partners con
fined themselves to welcoming
Mandela’s release.
In Bonn, West German Foreign
Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher
called it a “decisive step” and said
his government would insist on a
“national dialogue in South Af
rica."
In Beijing, a Foreign Ministry
spokesman said China welcomed
the release of a man “respected by
all the justice-upholding people the
world over, including the Chinese
people," the Xinhua news agency
reported.
In Moscow, Soviet Foreign Min
istry spokesman Gennady Gera
simov said,“We hail the release of
Nelson Mandela ... a step that
should have been taken long ago.”

Athens saw its first flag-burning
ceremony on Saturday.
The ceremony was not an ex
pression of hatred towards Amer
ican ideals, but a retirement and
disposal ceremony to respectfully
dismiss soiled, worn or faded
American flags.
Athens’ American Veterans and
members of a local Army Reserve
Unit made up partly by students,
gathered at AMVET’s post 10 at
noon Saturday for the first flag-dis
posal ceremony in Athens.
The ceremony began with a pre
sentation of six triangular folded
American flags from the U.S. For
estry Service, U.S. Army Reserve
Center, AMVET’s Post 10 and sev
eral others.
The flags were inspected by An

mnnder of the ceremony.
He said the flags had become
faded, torn and worn, “due to nat
ural elements and ceremonial
handling while they were proudly
displayed in honor, love and
tribute to our beloved country and
our honored dead.”
Ken Ross, acting as AMVET
Commander of the ceremony made
the final approval for the retire
ment of the flags. Ross, a World
War II veteran and Pearl Harbor
survivor, said the flags will be hon
orably retired, “knowing that their
‘Old Glory* replacements will con
tinue to fly and forever wave in
freedom and love of our Country."
The chaplain offered a prayer
and the flags were placed upon an
altar directly below AMVET’s 30-
foot flagpole with their new Amer
ican flag flapping in the wind.
While participants and ob
servers rendered a salute, the flags
were ignited by Van Helden, unit
' \MVET
in charge of
trainer and AN
the ceremony.
The AMVET’s constitution tells
how to properly dispose of Amer
ican flags tor members and their
community. Unlike the flag-bur
ning which has raised the country’s
temperature in the last months,
this flag-burning is a symbol of dig
nity.
A former University student,
2nd Lt. John Heil, observed the
ceremony.
‘The flag is a symbol of our heri
tage and should be treated as
such,” he said. ‘The proper retire
ment and disposal of our flag
shows that we as veterans and
Americans do care about this
symbol we defend."
