Shanty Protest - A shanty was receted Thursday on the U-M Diag to symbolize the general conditions of blacks in South Africa. Anthony Vavasis exits the shanty, which will remain up for two weeks as part of a national period of protests against apartheid and racism. A rally was held on the Diag Thursday by the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee, and a candlelight vigil is scheduled for 9 p.m. Monday on the Diag. The two-week campaign to highlight South Africa will culminate April 4 - the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated - with a two-mile march through Ann Arbor.
