Exile seeks support to end apartheid in South Africa
By PENNI CRABTREE Staff Writer
As a bright, young medical student in Durban, South Africa, David Ndaba was looking forward to a life of relative economic security and that his students are measured by a black man in South Africa.
As an educated man, Nabae wouldn't have to live the life his father did, working in a General Motors plant for $55 a month. Or as his sister did, in the squalor of a Johannesburg ghetto.
But the Soweto race riots of 1976, a series of bloody clashes between white and black South Africans that left an estimated 600 people dead, changed Ndaba's plans.
"My brother-in-law and nephew were killed during the riots," Ndaba, a member of the African National Congress, South Africa's long-banned black liberation organization, said yesterday. "I was wanted by the police for participation in student demonstrations. I knew that I did not always return from police stations after being interrogated, so I fled the country."
Now an exile, Ndaba travels to universities throughout the United States seeking support for
the ANC and its cause, the end of apartheid in South Africa.
Speaking to an audience of about 40 people at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries last night, Ndaba and fellow lecturer Ellen Musiela, a member of the Namibian South West Africa Peoples' National Resistance was the only option open to blacks for ending "white racist rule in South Africa."
The lecture was sponsored by the KU Committee on South Africa.
According to Ndaba, who is a representative of the Observer Mission to the United Nations, the ANC has strong support from most of the world's nations. The United Nations now recognizes ANC as a representation of South Africa, even though the group has been outlawed in South Africa.
The only nations that don't mount the ANC
in the United States, Britain and France,
Ndaa said.
"The United States has consistently abused its veto power in the U.N. to defeat resolutions that support the black South African," Ndaba said. "That is because the United States has strong economic ties with the South African governmen- tial, in gold, diamonds, uranium and magnesium."
Ndaba criticized the Reagan administration
or labeling the ANC as a Marist organization,
and that said that "Reagan was lying to the people to
say he was an agent of Nazi aggression."
"For 60 years, the ANC sought to gain freedom by peaceful means," Mdaba said. "We were in existence before the Russian revolution; we have nothing to do with Russia."
"My people have been patient for years, but a 'people's patience' is not endless. We accept arms from many groups, including that of the Soviet Union. We have no particular liking for Soviet-born combatants, but we like for warriors. If the United States would send us arms, we would make allies of them."
Musiela also criticized the Reagan administration for dismissing the ANC and the SWAPO as communist, and said that most of her organization's support came from Namibia.
"We are supported by women, children, students, churmen and progressive whites, all of whom stand together and say 'To bell with the racistiction of South Africa.'" Musilela said.
"Because we resist, we are called Communist. But we are treated like tools in our own land.
"This is the land God gave us; we were given the animals, the waters and all its riches. We want to be able to live in the land of our birth, sharing its resources."

Regents announce own proposal for state teacher education
BvLISAMASSOTH
Staff Reporter
TOPEKA—The Kansas Board of Regents unveiled an alternative plan yesterday for enhancing the quality of teacher education in response to last week's State Board of Education proposal which raised admission requirements for education schools.
Joe McFarland, Regents acting executive recommender of a recommendation at their academic committee report.
The Regents are concerned that the Board of Education's proposal will not offer the quality teachers or program flexibility they think is necessary for a teacher education program.
The State Board of Education's plan requires
an admission test, but no certification test before
graduation.
"It is important to have an admission test," said Regene Gelt Smith, "but it is most important."
"This is the wrong emphasis. We're concerned about what enters our school, but admittance is not."
The proposal still has to be approved by the
The proposal approved by the State Board of Education Sept. 9 will require students wanting to enter a teaching education program to have a 2.5 grade point average and pass an admission exam before being admitted to state education schools.
state House Administrative Rules and Regulations Committee.
McFarlane said a representative from the legcents probably would go before the committee to make sure.
Under the Regents proposal, graduates of teacher education programs in Kansas will have to pass a certification examination before receiving a teaching certificate. They also will have to complete an internship program jointly supervised by the school in which the teacher is employed and the school from which the teacher graduated.
If the Regents proposal is shelved without consideration, some or all of the Regents schools might consider administering a competency test as a graduation requirement, McFarland and.
"There is no certification test now." McEland said. "You just have to graduate."
The Regents don't object to a test being given,
but rather the time it will be given.
"If the State Board wishes to apply a test, it would be better at the end, not during the sophomore year," he said. "From there on, you're home free."
The Regents are responsible for governing the public universities where most teacher candidates are prepared for their teaching careers. The Regents are also responsible for final certification of Kansas teachers.
"There is no standard for anybody out of state," McFarland said. "The school districts say more incompetency is from out-of-state teachers."
McFarlane said the absence of a teacher certification exam created a loophole. An out-of-state teacher could be certified without any proof of his abilities, he said.
Sixteen states, including Colorado and Oklahoma, require applicants for teacher certification to be tested for competency.
The Regents are also opposed to the required 2.5 GPA for admission.
McFarland said the 2.5 GPA was a poor indicator of a good student.
"I hope the State Board will recognize a rigid 2.5 is not a practical tool for screening students in their sophomore year," he said.
These hand puppets are part of a collection of more than 150 donated by KU alumna Hazelle Hedges Rollins in 1975.
Gifts in kind produce cash to fill coffers

Puppets, paintings and a share of a producing natural gas well are among the bequests and donations which fall into the hands of the University of Kansas University Endowment Association.
A gift in kind is any non-cash gift which can be used or sold to produce income for the association, according to Dale Seufling, association director of public relations.
Other non-cash gifts include stocks, bonds and mineral interests, which continue to grow.
*Most gifts in kind are property that is either held and managed by the association or gifted to a beneficiary.*
One gift in kind which draws interest—though not in cash—is a collection of more than 150 puppets from around the world. They were donated by KU alumna Hazeled Hedges Rollin after she retired in 1975 and sold her puppet-manufacturing company, Hazelee, Inc.
Included in the collection given to the University of Kansas is a hand-carry foot-tall padded hip belt. Seferring was the oldest pupet known to have been made in the United States, he said.
Alfred E. Johnson, professor of anthropology, said he hoped to display the collection in early Spring. The puppets are in storage in Spooner Museum awaiting a grant from the American Cancer Society to pay for setting up the display and hiring puppeteers to do puppet shows, he said.
Resembling an "Uncle Remus," the puppet entertained passengers on the Mississippi showbat which ran from St. Louis, Mo., to New Orleans, La., at the turn of the century, Rolls snails.
"Puppets were welcome on that crowded street, but they could sleep in a box," she said. Lushinie
Reared in Atchison, Lockwood died in 1963 in Taos, N.M., Henry said. Lockwood's wife, Clyde Bonehare, who died last year, left Lockwood's art to the association, along with the rest of the Lockwood estate including land, securities and cash.
Another gift in kind, which normally would have been given directly to a museum, are the collected paintings, prints, pastels and sketchbooks of John Ward Lockwood, said Martin S. Henry, vice president for property management.
In her will, she instructed the association to offer pieces from the 500-item collection to a
list of other universities and museums, including the University of California-Berkeley, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City.
A committee from Spencer Museum, including Charles Eldredge, director, chose 10 oil paintings and several drawings and watercolors from the collection.
"I was looking for a combination of the best quality and the best representation of Lockwood's talents in various phases of his career." Eldredge said.
The remaining pieces are being sold, and the

Stevens County in southwest Kansas.
"Unless you know what you're looking for, you probably wouldn't know what it was." Henry said of the well, which is little more than a pine sticking out of the ground.
The late Dean Ackers willed the association one-half interest in the well about 10 years

Reagan cuts to affect cost-of-living increases
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—President Reagan yesterday outlined for his cabinet a new set of "blood, sweat and tears" budget cuts, including one that increased the size of the Defense in Social Security and other programs next year.
The delay, which could be as much as nine months, would slow payments to recipients of such benefits as supplemental income, home care and stamped and Social Security's old-age pensions.
Such a payment deferral would save the government $5 billion, officials said.
A White House spokesman said Reagan opened the cabinet meeting by warning members, "There will be blood, sweat and tears for all of you."
In the meeting, the president also gave the cabinet his proposals for shrinking the size of government and setting "spending ceilings" for the 1983 and 1984 fiscal years.
The spokesman said cabin members gave Reagan's proposals "wholehearted support" and some wondered aloud whether they could make deeper cuts in their agencies.
But early reaction from Congress was mostly hostile. Thomas O'Neill, speaker of the House, said, "We won't let the president wreck the Social Security system."
House Democrats said yesterday they would postpone action on the proposal, forcing Reagan and the Republican-led Senate to make any unpopular decisions on Social Security.

Med Center billing plan not ready for state Senate committee meeting
KANSAS CITY, Kan.-The Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee convened at the University of Kansas Medical Center yesterday, where it announced the conviction of the center's antitrust billing system.
made a specific proposal, including cost estimates, for the new system.
They didn't hear one.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig told the committee the Med Center was not yet ready to submit a proposal for a new system because such revolutionary changes were needed.
Med Center officials asked the committee April 14 for funds to update billing system and to improve its security.
After reviewing the system, the committee allocated $250,000 to be released by the gover- nment.
"It's really an antiquated set of systems that have been matched together, really just held together by manual effort," said Richard Von Wittig. "It needs a revolutionary change."
The major problem with the present system is that most billing, even in this age of computers, must be done by hand, said Tome Greeson, Med Center assistant fiscal director.
Every bill, even it initially typed by a computer, must have the physician's name and diagnosis typed in by hand because the present information can be made to enter that information, Greese said.
The billing process is so complicated that the instruction manual fills three large ring-hinder
