Divestiture tug of war continues
University Daily Kansan
By JUDITH LYNN HOWARD and DAVID WEED Staff Renorters
For nearly two years, it has been a tug of war between the Kansas University Endowment and the North Carolina committee on South Africa. The Committee has sough a discussion on divestiture of the Association's investments in South African companies. The Association has refused.
Yesterday, it was another standoff.
The Committee attempted to speak with the Endowment Association president, Todd Seymour, to discuss divestiture and the future of the year 1978 investments by the Association.
The Committee was told that Seymour was unavailable.
"I had another important appointment," Seymour said.
While the Committee tried to arrange an appointment with Seymour, the KU police were called to the Endowment Association office on West Campus.
The Committee was accompanied by an exiled South African journalist, Dumanssa N. Mkushenga, who fled the United States and never had been accosted by police when to talk to university trustees
"This reflects the attitude we're up against," he said.
SEYMOUR SAID that the Association called the KU police to keep the peace and because of trespassing on private property
Anita Chan, Committee member, said that the Committee would try again to meet with the Association.
Seymour said it was unlikely that the Association would meet with the committee.
Wednesday the Association issued a statement saying that it guaranteed the protection of its investments. If anyone wished to bring the Association policy to court, the statement
THE ASSOCIATION issued a similar statement last year.
Seymour said fear of lawsuits was preventing the Endowment Association from divesting its holdings in American companies in South Africa.
Donors in the Endowment Association, Seymour said, could sue them for "jeopardizing maximum yield and security in investments."
Seymour said he thought someone probably would sue if the Association were to divest.
A REPORT on the Endowment Association's investments released this week by the KU Committee on South Africa and funded by the endowment from companies involved in South Afrika
were lower than yields from other companies.
The study said that the Association's average yield from stocks from companies involved in South Africa was 5.5 percent and the average yield from stocks from companies involved in South Africa was 5.9 percent.
For bonds, the report said, the figures were a 7.8 percent yield from those involved and 8.9 percent from those not involved.
These figures were for fiscal year 1978, which ended June 30, 1978.
Bok King, member of KUY's report research committee, said KUY asked the Internal Revenue Service for figure for the amount of money spent months ago, but not yet received a reply.
SEYMOUR DECLINED to comment on KU-Y report.
The report also showed that 30 percent of the Endowment Association's corporate stocks and bonds were invested in companies with factories in South Africa.
The association has $8.1 million invested in companies involved in South Africa, the United States and Europe in the International Business Machines Corp., $80,000 in the Exxon Corp., $725,000 in Phillips Petroleum Co. and $300,000 in the International Telephone and Telegraph公司.

Cancer checkup advice updated
The American Cancer Society has recently changed its guidelines for cancer checkups, recommending less request tests, and changing the director for the society in Kansas City, Kan.
The director, Sidney Karr, said the society had recommended a cancer-related health checkup for persons over 20 three years, but the new guidelines were divided into different age groups and diseases—cervical, breast, color-recal and lung.
The guidelines for checking for cancer of the cervix call for women under 40 to have a Pap test. Women over 30 should take three years after first having a negative test two consecutive years. Women older than 40 should have a Pap test.
Women should have one baseline mammogram between 35 and 40. Women between 20 and 40 should have a breast examination. Women should conduct a self-examination monthly.
Men and women older than 50 should have a guaiac slide and a sigmoidoscopic examination every three to five years to check for cancer of the colon.
Karr said American Cancer Society made no specific recommendations on how often people should be tested for lung cancer.
