Apartheid may end with unity, two say
By CHRISSY CLEARY Staff Reporter
Students can help halt the Republic of South Africa's controversial practice of apartheid if they put pressure on their governments, an Indian woman and an African political refugee said last night.
"Young people of the world must unite and really redo some time and within five years something is going to happen." Anima Bose, author of a book about Mahatma Gandhi and an alumna of KU, who became a KuTU told a small group gathered at Smith Auditorium last night.
"How close are youth groups here to those around the world? It begins as just a little nucleus, just a few people, but very big commitment," she said.
Bose and Ngoni A. Kamatuka, the African political refugee, were guest speakers at the discussion in November 2014. Senate Committee on South Africa
Bose and Kamataka said students should write to their congressmen and the governor to protest apartheid.
University Daily Kansan, September 21, 1984
BOSE ADVOCATES NON-VIOLENCE and cooperation in bringing attention to South Africa's practice of apartheid, a form of segregation. She said she thought that Americans should not do business with South Africa.
"India does not do business with
South Africa," she said. "It's very simple. The government of South Africa has insulted humanity outright. I will not cut their heads off, but I will not do business with them."
Bose said she found it difficult to believe that apartheid was going on South Africa in 1984, and that the rest of the world only looked on.
"A cause must be taken up." Bose said. "Who is going take up the cause? I imagine the youth will stand up and say 'We are trying to.'"
KAMATUKA, WHO FLED his homeland of Namibia 10 years ago, told the group that the South African government had planned the weak education system to suppress black South Africans.
"The curriculum emphasis is on the white developments, not black culture," said Kamatuka, who is working on his doctorate in higher education. "Africans were distrustful of English-speaking whites, and the blacks were educated, they would drive the whites out to sea. Steps were taken so the best education goes to the white man."
Kamataka said that the primary school he attended in Nambia had 600 students and five teachers — three qualified, and three who were not.
He also said that only 11 percent of more than 70,000 black South Africans passed the college placement exam.
More sex less enjoyable, speaker says
By DAVID LASSITER Staff Reporter
The more sex a couple has, the less likely they are to enjoy it, said Dick Purnell, a guest speaker in the Dynamic Relationship Series sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ.
Sex is just like anything else, the more you do it the less satisfaction it gives you, Purnell said. That is, unless you really love the person you are with.
Purnell closed his three lecture series last night to an audience of nearly 300 in the Kansas Union Ballroom with a speech titled "Sex and the Search for Intimacy."
Too often people confuse sex and
intimacy, he said. Having sex with another person is physical intimacy.
"Each person is a star. That is they are made up of five points: the physical, emotional, social, mental and the spiritual," Purnell said. "When the other four points of the star are not shared and touched, the person becomes frustrated, angry and confused."
ACCORDING TO A recent survey of readers of PSYCHOLOGY TODAY, 73 percent of the college age readers felt lonely. Purnell said.
"That's because at that time they are very aware of the opposite sex." Purnell said. "We feel lonely because we are self-centered.
"We've all been hurt in relationships, and sometimes we put up walls
so that we don't get hurt again. The only problem is that when we put up that wall it keeps you shut in as well as keeping people out."
"People want intimacy,but they don't want to get hurt."
"There is no such thing as painless love," Purnell said. "The more you love, the closer you are to being hurt or rejected."
The University of Kansas was the last stop in a two week tour for Purnell, who has been lecturing at universities, high schools, single adult groups and civic groups for seven years.
SINGLE UNTIL THE age of 42, Purnell has had the opportunity to experience many relationships, he said. He uses those experiences to
make points about the stages of male sexual activity.
"It starts with the guy putting his arm around the girl." Purnell said. "The oldest trick in the book — the old vault trick."
"Girls, you'll never know the feeling in a man's arm after about ten minutes around your shoulder." Purnell said.
"It it starts about here at the shoulder. Then it moves down the arm until you can't feel your fingers any more."
Purnell has been working with college students for the past 25 years.
"My main goal is to help them in their lives with people and God in particular," Purnell said before the lecture.
Med Center will provide services to Ottawa hospital
Bv the Kansan Staff
After weeks of planning, a program linking state agencies and rural hospitals is under way.
University of Kansas officials and hospital administrators in Ottawa signed an agreement last Friday that will provide health care support and expanded services at Ransom Memorial Hospital in Ottawa.
"We'll be backup for them," said David Waxman, director of health care resources at the University of Kansas Medical Center, who helped organize the program. "There are
Waxman said Med Center specialists would answer questions and interpret new laws for Ransom Memorial when hospital officials needed assistance. Waxman also said the Med Center would provide additional training for Ransom Memorial personnel.
certain things we can do here that they can't do at their hospital."
“It’s like being in a family” Waxman says, “they them us and we like to be and we like to be”
Waxman said the Med Center also had similar agreements with Pratt Regional Medical Center and some military hospitals in Kansas.

SILVER LAKE — Authorities have ruled out foul play in the deaths of an elderly couple whose bodies were eaten by a pack of dogs after the couple died at their northeastern Kansas home.

Deputies discovered the pack of snarling dogs crouched around the torso of Evelyn Shaw in the back doorway of the single-story frame house, authorities said. She was thought to be about 83.
Deputies had to shoot seven of the dogs before being able to examine the scene.
"The reason they were mean is because they had been feasting for a couple of weeks on human flesh." sheriff's Lt. Farrell Fouts said. "It was a pretty gruesome scene."
