Panel to compile list of firms to boycott
By NANCY STOETZER Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Compiling a list of companies doing business in South Africa and preventing Student Senate-financed groups from buying goods from these companies will be the task of the Senate Social Responsibilities Committee this semester.
The committee was formed this semester under a referendum approved in last fall's Senate election. The referendum prohibits any group receiving Senate money from buying goods from companies doing business in South Africa.
The referendum was the product of a bill written last fall after some students had voiced disapproval of South Africa's practice of anaphase, a form of racial segregation.
Chris Bunker, Prarie Village law student, was elected committee chairman last night. Bunker co-sponsored the South Bills bill to ban burger, former student body vice president.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS last night said they planned to implement the South Africa bill and expand the committee's role to deal with other human rights violations.
Bunker said and activities outside the Senate's intentions for the committee would be discussed.
bumper said, "There is nothing in the bill
that says we can't take up human rights
violence."
Any violations of the bill would be reported to the Social Responsibilities Committee. Violations then would be discussed with the Finance Committee. The Student Senate would have to approve any action stemming from the bill.
The bill does not state the punishment for violators. The original bill set explicit guidelines for reprimanding groups that continue to support companies involved in Africa.
BUT THE BILL approved last fall said the Social Responsibilities Committee would form internal policies on the use of the bill. The committee would develop standards for
"The bill provides the committee with a broad agenda, but we have enforcement power. The main idea is to prevent violations of the bill and not to punish people." Bunker
the groups as well as advisory opinions on divesting.
The committee's first goal is to compile the companies doing business in South Africa.
"We want to compile a list unique to KU." Bunker said. "We don't want to just read someone else's list. The last thing I want is to put someone on the list who doesn't belong
The committee plans to write to companies it suspects of doing business in South Africa. The list would be compiled from each company's response.
"THIS COMMITTEE has a lot of work ahead." Bunker said.
Another goal of the committee is to educate faculty and students about apartheid. Members plan to start a paper of newspaper stories about South Africa and to student groups about the South Africa bill.
Committee members discussed other ways to expand their responsibilities.
Committee members said they would like to expand the scope of their responsibilities to include acts of social discrimination on campus.
"We could try to do away with campus hate groups," Bunker said.
Committee members discussed creating an information network composed of other groups that have divestment enforcement policies. The committee would contact states, cities, companies or universities that have had similar policies.
For example, Nebraska and Connecticut have policies prohibiting the state from buying goods from companies doing business in South Africa.
Bob Jerry, chairman of the University Senate Human Relations Committee, is helping organize a campus forum on South Africa for sometime this spring. The committee said it would like to work with Jerry on the forum.
Police have no suspects in attack on local woman
Lawrence police are investigating an attack on a 19-year-old former KU student who said she was kidnapped Sunday night by a man who put a chain around her neck and led her around the area near 23rd Street and Clinton Parkway.
Police said the man also apparently tried to sexually assault the woman before releasing her. Police would not say how long the man held the woman canvive.
The woman had been enrolled this semester, but recently withdrew from classes, according to KU officials.
Police said yesterday that they had no suspects in the case. "They gave the following information":
The woman had been walking on 24th Street southwest of Kasid Drive at about
8:30 p.m. Sunday. When she reached the intersection of 24th Street and Winterbrook Court, a man walked up behind her and put a chain around her neck.
The woman told police that her attacker was a white male who was wearing a dark blue or black ski mask, a black coat and a scarf. He said he might have been wearing blue jeans.
The man then dragged the woman north across Clinton Parkway and behind the Kinder-Care Learning Center, 2333 Crestline Drive. While behind the building, he tore off her shirt, tied her hands behind her back and took $15 from her purse.
After putting the chain around the wrist, I pulled her into a large fold of south cliff parkers.
Winter's snow and cold temperatures have left their mark on streets close to campus. These potholes near the corner of Jayhawk Boulevard and 12th street look especially dangerous for approaching motorists.

Workers pressed to fill pothole repair orders
BY JOHN RODRIGUEZ Staff Reporter

The seemingly endless number of potholes on campus roads will be repaired once warm weather arrives, an associate director of facilities operations said yesterday.
Meanwhile, work crews continue to temporarily repair the potholes with satchrock, a blend of asphalt and oil, said Robert Porter, the associate director. He said satchrock was pliable and would patch potholes in warm or cold weather.
So far, 10 tons of satchrock have been used to fix the potholes, Porter said. He ordered 10 more tons yesterday to repair the pitches he had he said. Satchrock costs about $2 a ton.
But, he said, the satchcock will wash away easily if wet weather persists. When the weather warms up, a hot asphalt compound will be used to repair the polythene.
OVER THE weekend, problem areas became more apparent, said Porter. Some of the worst areas are Naismith Drive between Sumyside Avenue and 18th
Street, Jayhawk Boulevard west of the Chi Omega mountain, the road at both ends of the Irving Hill Road bridge and Jayhawk Bay near Mississippi and 13th streets, he said.
He said he had received no report of large potholes on Jayhawk Boulevard between the fountain and Mississippi River, where the boulevard was paved last summer, he said.
Lonie Welsh, assistant director of construction, said traffic flow on Naismith Drive had been reduced to two lanes and made workers to make repairs more efficiently.
He said six workers — twice the usual number — had been filling pot holes. A team of three hours on Saturday, and additional overtime for the workers is a possibility, he said.
He said repairs were being taken care of according to the severity of the pothole. As a result, workers generally are running all those repairs by progressing street by street, Welsh said.
One of the worst holes repaired was a 10-inch deep pothole near the fountain, Welsh said.
Watkins hopes new service will improve care
Staff Reporter
By GREG LARSON
Watkins Hospital's switch this semester from a state hospital information service to a college service will result in better — and possibly less expensive — student health service, the director of the hospital said yesterday.
James Strobel, the director, said statistics compiled by the American College Health Association would help officials compare Watkins Hospital's services with those of other university hospitals.
One way the association could help, Strobl said, was by determining the optimum number of students per doctor.
efficiency, so that we can provide more health care for the dollar.
Association statistics also could help, Strobi said, by establishing the average number of tests done for certain illnesses. He pointed out that data from conducting unnecessary tests, he said.
WATKINS HOSPITAL PAYS $1,450 a year for the association's services.
He said a university hospital could not be compared with city hospitals.
"That could tell me to add staff or cut staff," he said. "We are striving for
Strobl said the hospital had changed from the Kansas Hospital Association to a college association because the Kansas service gave no college hospital statistics.
"The ACHA would allow us to compare with other college hospitals in terms of hospital employee salaries and student health services," Strobl said.
Five other schools in the Big Eight Conference subscribe to the same service.
Only Kansas State University and the University of Oklahoma do not.
Donald Cooper, director of the hospital at Oklahoma State University, said the association provided a wide range of statistics and information.
"ACHA GIVES US information on what is going in college health and has given us a chance to help."
Oklahoma State University has used the service for 15 years.
Bimonthly journals and quarterly newsletters from the association, Cooper said, provide current information on college health problems, such as herpes and
He said information about nursing, administration, athletics, dental care, clinical medicine and health education also was available from the association.
Representatives from universities that use
"You can learn about treatments on everything," Cooper said. "College people are a unique class of people to take care of. These meetings give us a chance to discuss different methods of dealing with their illnesses."
the service meet once a year to exchange information that may solve the common problems of college hospitals, he said.
Gerald Fleischi, director of the University of Nebraska hospital, said the meetings established contacts that could be consulted for college hospital information.
"You can talk to others about how they developed their student health plans," he said. "For example, you could find out what nature of college hospitals have night service."
Providing student health pamphlets, such as pamphlets on venereal disease, is another service the association offers. Fleischli said.
