continued from p.1
- Withdrawal by American companies would be more effective than current efforts by the companies to improve employment opportunities, working-conditions and living conditions of non-white workers in South Africa.
- Divestment would be more effective than voting in favor of corporate resolutions favoring withdrawal.
The report said divestment by the Endowment Association "would make a significant contribution to eradicating apartheid only if all four propositions were established."
Military continued from p. 1.
The report said, "Total divestment for the purpose of removing the taint of a linkage with one of the world's evils is only a partial solution.
Robert Jerry, chairman of the Human Relations Committee and principal author of the proposals, said in the report that no one could prove that all of the propositions would be met if the Endowment Association divested.
A minority report issued by two of the committee members and enclosed in the Human Relations Committee's report calls for the Endowment Association to divest from companies doing business in South Africa.
The Command College also trains officers from foreign countries. This year, 98 officers from 60 countries are studying at the College of Law and Engineering in Guaynabo, Greece, Bangaladesh, Israel and Liberia.
Thirty-five percent of the foreign officers who graduate from the Command College go on to become generals, Tucker said. Graduates include Gen. Muhammed Ziaul-Haq, president of Pakistan, and Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, president of the Dominican Republic until his assassination in 1961.
Charles Stansifer, director for Latin American Studies, worked on a problem with KU being involved with the media.
"We'd be in far worse shape if the military didn't have access to KU," Stansifer said.
"We need to prevent the military from getting information solely from the military."
BEN POWERS. A spokesman for Latin American Solidarity, a campus group, said he didn't like the underlying purposes of the UU and that the UU should maintain contact with the military.
"Maybe if there's more contact with the military, we can resolve extreme differ-
Tucker said the main purpose for training foreign military officers was to help them understand how the U.S. Army worked. That meant for countries to cooperate in combat, he said.
"U.S. people aren't culturally sensitive, so U.S. people also helps the Allies understand
the culture of the United States, and our military to understand their culture and customs," Tucker said.
The Allied governments don't always pay for their education at the Command College. Sometimes the U.S. government pays the Allies' way, he said.
"IT'S THE BEST money we ever spent for the ongoing relationship between U.S. soldiers and foreign students," he said. "It's what makes a country important, the role of the American Army in the world."
Powers said he saw things differently. "The U.S. has had a long history in Latin American military training. Part of that reason is to keep our military in a position of influence."
Feleciano Jr., D-Wichita. Duffy said she had learned a lot from Feleciano.
Interns continued from p. 1
"THERE IS SO much more to learn than you get from just reading case books. In Topeka, you actually see it happen," she said.
Hackney said the experience was a good way to get an introduction to the legislative process. There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that she would have never known about without her intern work, she said.
"I'ts not rational, but it is fascinating. There is so much give and take between different legislators to get things done. There is a lot of content about this than being close up." she said.
Duffy said the debate on the Senate floor yesterday over the liquor by the drink bill was an example of the excitement she saw in Topeka.
"I'm beginning to see government as an option in a law career," she said.
AFTER THE CLASS is over, Hackney has asked a volunteer to continue work for Charleston.
"There is a quote I am reminded of when I think of the internship — 'No one should watch laws or sausages being made.' But I've learned a lot," she said.
Shawn Aday, Topeka junius, has an internship with State Rep. Jessie Branson,
D-Lawrence. Although he is not a member of Shapiro's class, he received his internship through the University, he said.
Aday said that Branson had asked the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications for an intern and same name had been submitted as a candidate.
"I never had thought of being an intern for a registrar before I was approached by Jesse."
ADAY WORKS 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. But sometimes, he said, he has had to work late on letters or research that must be done before the next day.
Aday said that researching bills involved a lot of work and that the hardest part was learning where to find the information he needed.
Aday lives in Topeka so none of his mileage is paid. But he is given $2.50 each day for meals, which he said Branson didn't have to do.
Aday is getting two hours of academic
aday. He said he was worth the
performance he had given.
"I don't know what I'm going to do after school, but all of this is opening possibilities for me," he said.
"This internship is what you make it. If you don't take it seriously, you won't learn anything."
