About two hundred African students at the University of Rhodesia stoned two cars belonging to White students and confiscated African workers' tools on Friday(3 August) in their second demonstration within seven days.

The first, the previous Friday, followed allegations by politicians of the ruling Rhodesian front Party that the campus was a centre of prostitution, trouble-making and filth.

The latest demonstration was over alleged racial discrimination on the campus and the wage levels paid to African domestic staff. A three-man delegation forced its way into the Principal's office in the main administration block and demanded that he address the students.

The Principal, Professor Robert Craig, refused and later said he would take disciplinary action although he gave no details of the action.

Police units were put on stand-by near the university but were not called in during the demonstration and white students also stood by passively.

The more militant African students ordered White sympathisers away, saying the demonstration was purely an African affair. The African student leaders also refused to speak to reporters and ordered photographers away from the meeting.
