40 at UC Santa Barbara Held in S. Africa Protest
Forty anti-apartheid demonstrators were arrested Friday after about 100 protesters occupied the administration building at the University of California, Santa Barbara, authorities said.

Those arrested were charged with trespassing, but eight were also charged with resisting arrest, a campus police spokesman said.
