CAMPUS AND AREA University Daily Kansan, February 21, 1985 Page ft Divestment plan on agenda Council to discuss S. Africa By J. STROHMAIER Staff Reporter The University Council will meet today to discuss a report issued by a University Senate Committee on whether the Kansas University Endowment Association should divest its financial interests from companies that do business in South Africa. The University Human Relations Committee released a report Feb. 7 recommending that the council set a date for an open meeting for campus groups to discuss whether the Endowment Association should divest. The council also will discuss the annual report from the Parking and Traffic Board. The board's report recommends extending the number of days violators will be permitted to parking tickets without penalty. THE REPORT BY the Human Relations Committee also examines different aspects of the situation in South Africa and possible action that could be taken by the University administration and the Endowment Association to change that situation. South Africa operates under a policy of racial segregation called apartheid. James Carothers, council president, said the council would review and discuss the South Africa report. The council is the executive branch of the University Senate. The report, drafted by Robert Jerry, chairman of the Human Relations Committee, recommends that the Endowment Association of South Africa increase in businesses that do business primarily in South Africa. BUT THE REPORT says the Endowment Association should not undertake total divestment from any company doing a portion of their business in South Africa without applying a test. Under the test, Jerry said, divestment from companies that don't business primarily in South Africa would be recommended only "if a company had failed in substantial and material ways to adhere to reasonable standards and effort over a substantial period of time have failed to persuade the company to change its policies." The report also recommends that the Endowment Association should not invest in banks that make or renew loans to the South African government or state-owned companies. Jerry said no attempt had been made to examine the financial losses the Endowment Association would suffer if it divested. The report did, however, give figures from other public university endowments of similar investment cases; the cost for investment was estimated from $10,000 to $100,000. CAROTHERS SAID THE council also would review and vote on the Parking and Traffic Board's annual report and recommendations. The board has proposed extending the period for paying parking fines from 14 calendar days to 15 working days, or three weeks. The board also proposed sending a notice of traffic tickets to violators by the sixth working day after the ticket had been issued. Carothers said the council would vote on the board's report and recommendations. If the report passes in the council, a public hearing will be set by the state for people interested in commenting on the recommendations. "A public hearing on changes in parkings regulations is not the responsibility of the University compositioners said. "It's a state procedure." At today's 3:30 p.m. meeting in 206 Blake Hall, the council also will on the academic calendar for the 474 academic year, Carothers said. Priest calls defendants in silo case 'patriots' By United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo — Catholic priest Carl Kabat told a federal jury Tuesday he and three fellow defendants were patriots for damaging a Minuteman 2 missile site in November with a kickhammer. A second defendant, Helen Woodson, drew loud applause from the gallery when she denounced her extension of nuclear arms violence. "I'm withdrawing my active participation in these proceedings," she said. Paul Kabat, 46; Catholic lay worker Woodson, 41; and Indian activist Larry Cloud Morgan, 46; are on trial on counts of conspiracy, destruction of government property, destruction of property with the intent to injure, interfering with the national defense and trespassing for the Nov. 12, 1984, break-in at Minuteman Missile Sille Silo N5, located in a cornfield about 35 miles east of Kansas City. THE DEFENDANTS CALL themselves the Silo Pruning Hooks, a reference to the biblical mandate to "beat swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks." They have refused the use of lawyers and said their defense was based entirely upon conscience and the right to civil disobedience. They face a possible maximum sentence of more than 25 years in prison and $33,500 in fines. In his opening statement to the jury, Kabat said the issue was not the fact that the four had damaged the silo, but rather their intent. "If you saw children playing with a loaded revolver, you would intervene and take away the revolver so that they would not hurt themselves," he said. "That is what we were doing. Our intent was based upon our religion, our moral and ethical background." KABAT TOLD THE jury they must "decide whether we are criminals or patriots like George Washington and those at the Boston Tea Party." Federal prosecutors interrupted Kabat's statement three times with objections, but U.S. District Judge Brook Bartlett allowed the defendant to continue. "The U.S. calls us criminals," he said, "but we are patriots."
