fired buckshot, revolvers and
tear gas and streets boomed
with the explosions of thun
derflashes huge
firecrackers used to ward off
crowds. Police said one man
was shot and killed in the
Tiervlei district on the city's
outskirts.
Blacks and coloreds, the
official South African
designation for persons of
mixed race, formed human
waves to attack police with
stones and bottles in all-white
areas of Cape Town and
segregated
_enclaves near
Cape Town and Johan
nesburg.
In one incident police
turned on whites who booed
when they clubbed colored
rioters. Police fired volley
after volley of tear gas,
sending huge clouds of the
burning gas over the city, and
blasted - the mobs with
buckshot. Then, when the
rioters regrouped and
charged again, opened fire. -
One colored man, in his
mid-twenties, keeled over and
died within five yards of this
correspondent in Cape Town.
The man was trying to take
cover from the police fire

on the street. He suddenly

staggering. He had been
struck in the chest by a police
bullet.
Later, streets which were
filled with swarming, yelling
demonstrators cleared and
thin wisps of tear gas smoke
drifted through the silence.
In Soweto, a black township
near Johannesburg, 1,000
miles north, police killed ' a
black man when they shot at
a gang trying to tear up
railroad tracks. Police said
the blacks hurled stones at
their patrol car.
The new violence shattered
a three-day lull and coincided
with the reopening of
businesses following a long
holiday marking Settlers'
Day. It also coincided with
the return of Prime Minister
John Vorster from Swit
zerland where he held three
days of talks with U.S.
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger.
Businesses quickly closed
again andiron bars clanged
across the doors of shops as
police moved in to disperse
mobs in the exclusive all
white area of Cane Town.
Rioting also hit the colored
enclave of Parow, four miles
from Cape Town, and, for the
first time, Stellenbosch, ll
miles east. '

Smith would reject
Kissinger solution
NEW YORK (UPI)
Rhodesian Prime Minister
lan Smith indicated
yesterday he would not
accept any compromise
solution for Rhodesia
reached in talks between
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger and South
African Prime Minister
John Vorster.
In an interview on NBC's
Today program, Smith also
said that a one man-one
vote system in Rhodesia
would
. "be an invitation to a
Communist takeover.
"I don't think we're
going to succeed in solving
the Rhodesian problem if
they try to solve it from
6,000 or 10,000 miles away,"
Smith said, referring to the
weekend meeting between
Kissinger and , Vorster in
Switzerland.
"If the American
government genuinely
wished to help us solve our
problems I think they must
talk to us," Smith said. "I

repeat, I don't think you
can solve a problem
without speaking to the
people who are associated
with that problem."
Smith said he would be
willing to bring more
blacks into his white
'supremacist government
provided they were "the
right sort of black people. I
do have places for more
blacks."
However, he said ex
tending the right to vote
was "contrary to my
thinking. I believe this
would be a bad decision for
Rhodesia and I think the
majority of black
Rhodesians as well as the
majority of white
Rhodesians would agree
with what I have said."
"One man, one vote is
something that we believe
would lead to chaos in
Rhodesia," Smith said. "In
fact, it would be an in
vitation to a Communist
takeover."

Job seekers camp out
to avoid morning crowd
By LAURA SHEMICK
Collegian Staff Writer
The scene last night in
Boucke was strange. About
two dozen people were lying
in various positions on the
floor, surrounded by food, soft
drinks and sleeping bags.
It might have been the
beginning of ticket sales for a
Bruce Springsteen concert,
but it was simpler than that
The people were waiting for
the Career Development and
Placement Center on the
fourth floor of Boucke to open
at 7:15 this morning so they
could turn in their ap
plications for job interviews
' with representatives from
various companies.
There were about 10 men
and women on the floor by
7:30 last night, and _ about
seven more came from 7:30 to
S:l5. More were coming in at
8:30.
When asked why they had
come so early, most of the
ALL WELCOME
The Daily Collegian Wednesdaeptember 8,1976-
group chorused, "I was here
last year."
"Last year it was such a
rush—the people pushed their
way through lines of campus
police," said one woman.
"The line of people stretched
down The fourth floor hall,
down the stairs, down the
third floor hall, down the
stairs, down the second floor
hall—." Well, that's the idea.
Most of the people waiting
said they were in business
administration. There was a
scattering of other majors
Most said they would
graduate soon.
They said the only thing
they had to do to apply for an
. interview was prepare a
resume and inform the
company they wanted the
interview. They were waiting
in line to drop their papers
into, they hoped, empty
boxes, where the personnel in
the Center would sift through
them and make up interview
schedules. The interviews
were scheduled solely on a
first-come, first-served basis,
the students said.
One student said he had
tried a letter campaign to get
a job, had tried the Center
last year, and was back this
year to try again. If this fails,
he's planning another letter
campaign.
They sat on the floor,
calmly playing backgammon,
reading books or talking
quietly with their friends.
They didn't look desperate for
jobs or internships. But when
asked why he was doing this
(he had been in Boucke since
3:45 p.m. yesterday), the
student at the head of the line
said "I'm desperate."
"And I feel great being at
the head of the line," he
added.
