Amy Carter joins tradition of civil disobedience by Matthew  a to new York times my Carter who As an elementary Pupil brought a tree House to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue now lives in a cooperative of vegetarians near the Campus of Brown University in Providence r.i., and spends much of her time struggling to change . Policy on South Africa Nicaragua and hunger. The 19-year-old Sophomore whose father was the chief defender of the Laws of the United states from 1977 to 1981 is also compiling an arrest record that seems More typical of the activists of the late 1960s. Last month she was arrested with Abble Hoffman a prominent demonstrator of that Era and spent six hours with him in a holding pen in Amherst mass. Thus has the daughter of the president who made human rights a household term determined to make her Mark on poll lies joining a tradition of civil disobedience that has largely lapsed. Her parents Carter said in an interview Are neither excited nor upset about her activities which have included a sit in in University Hall and a furtive trip to a roof of the 14-Story sciences Library to unfurl a Banner both in support of divestment of stocks in companies doing business in South Africa. Her first arrest was in april 1985 Al lha South african embassy in Washington where thousands have been averted for protesting South Africa a racial policies. The next Waal the Headquarters Oltha International business machines corp last March with 3 other Brown students to protest ism s business in South Africa Hrmo to it arrest came at a demonstration no 24 at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst against recruiting on Campus by the Cia. Carter sad she came oui i i a Amhe is and took a Good look at the police she  she said. She said she saw the police taking a prisoner Back into the building out of sight his head was later beaten against a Concrete Wall she said and she decided it was time to be arrested again that was the final decision of not wanting to leave those people there by themselves she said. In a two hour interview in the Coop s Kitchen amid buckets of flour and rolled Oats a Carton of oranges and a supermarket style tray of bananas Carter displayed a political Outlook that was part College activist and part unformed. Brown and other schools she said Are loosening up getting Back into the old spirit of protest which she applauds. She spoke proudly of the number of brawn students who volunteered to Campaign against a constitutional question on the Rhode Island ballot last month. Carter said she would like a jury trial in the Amherst Case so a can spotlight the  she went to the demonstration with three other Brown students because the administration of the University of Massachusetts had refused to sponsor a forum at which the Cia s role in world affairs could be debated she said. To Haven t really been thinking about the jail part said Carter sitting on a Container of Black Beans. I be just been thinking about the rial itself. Whatever happens i m sure i can handle  she May have to return to naw England from Plains ga., before the end of the Christmas break for a court Date in atheral Jan. 7. The University banned Carter Hoffman and 20 other protesters from the Campus. The District of Columbia no longer prosecutes those who Are arrested Al the South african embassy in Washington and ism dropped the charges Agal Nal the 22 in Providence. The Coop has 15 other students and a reputation of political activism other members Are involved with such groups As the Rhode Island Public interest research group and the american civil liberties Union Carter mid he had been asked if she would Ever saturday december 20, 1986 run for office and Hal the answer was no. Sha would prefer something More  she worked last summer or a foundation in Chicago Hal makes Grants to groups concerned with women s issues she said and she will probably major in women s studies and anthropology but she might change her mind she said adding this is just a Sophomore  there Are other uncertainties. Financing the nicaraguan rebels is wrong Sha said but beyond that she is not certain what the United Stales should do. She and Hoffman discussed the question Al length on the phone she added. He s really easy to talk to she said. She makes it Clear that her politics Are her own. But she did speak to her father about divestment before he came to Brown in september to speak at the inauguration of a new Institute Lor International studies. He old me i had nothing to worry about in Hal speech she said. He called on universities to divest. In other ways Carter is a typical College Sophomore in faded Blue jeans a Bulky sweater and mismatched socks. Lale wednesday morning Sho interrupted a visitor to her Coop to answer the Telephone. Hello she said. This is  a Brief pause. I mom she said. Yes i Wen to  this semester she is studying printmaking. Archaeological Field methods and egyptian hieroglyphs. Sometimes being Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter s youngest child gets in Tho Way. I really Don t like it when there s a political action involving Many slide nos and there s a Story written about me and not the action she said. She has also been offended by All the attention paid to her shoulder length hair. She dyed ii Black in the summer. She has lately allowed the Strawberry blonde to reappear on top. It s absurd and stupid that anyone would care what i do with my hair she said adding that she would not answer questions about it later she added i just always wanted to have Black  friends faculty members and the University help her keep a Low profile. Her listing in the University directory gives neither a Campus address phone number nor Home address. Often seen in a voluminous Green army surplus style coat to shirt and other casual clothing she is not part of the Campus trend towards stylish dressing. A classmate who lived in her same dormitory last year said her clothing is in line with her  i Don t think that Sha can Ever be a typical student said Waller Feldman a professor of Art in whose print making class she is enrolled. She beams As desirous of doing what s required of her As anyone  he said he chided students for missing his class. Carter missed it earlier this semester. He realized she had flown Home for the dedication of her father s presidential Library. Shewan led to let me know in Iha worst Way that she could t help herself said Feldman. But he said she never did the stars and stripes Page 13
