Endowment meeting hears South Africa committee
After a 20-minute closed session with the Kansas University Endowment Association yesterday, representatives of the Compete Foundation both optimism and disappointment.
The meeting produced no specific results, but members of the committee said they thought an important barrier of communication was broken.
"This is only the first step, it wasn't quite what we wanted, but at least we have gotten this far," said Veronica Cruz, spokesman
for the committee, after three of its members were allowed to present their views before the executive committee of the Endowment Association.
"It was kind of and really," Cruz said, "The Endowment. We told them we used us; they didn't ask us any questions. We just gave our stand and we talked." We called it a "hello and goodbye alliance."
Todd Seymour, president of the Endowment Association, declined to comment on the Association's reaction to the
presentation, which was shortened due to time restrictions.
"We are taking the matter under ad-hoc control and making it happen in the future," Seymour said. "We are not going to forget about the controversy in South Africa, we just need time to think."
SEYMOUR SAID he did not know how much the money Endowment Association had invested in American corporations with branches in South Africa.

The resource center, a plad project for Kansas, is intended to help handicapped adults of Douglas County work and live independently. Williams said.
THE REPRESENTATIVES also told the Endowment Association that many universities with South African investments have been involved in policies and had not lost money in the action.
The center received $100,000 from the U.S.
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare and $40,000 from the Kansas
Special and Rehabilitation Services on Sept. 1.
According to Seymour, most money managers are required by law to make minimum investments. Employment Association and stock holders decide to divest, a divestiture program must.
The project is funded for one year and can be renewed for two more years, he said.
The center probably will be ready to offer job opportunities with San Bernardino County officials of Independence, Inc. or nonprofit organization to help the handicapped, are looking for a director and housing for employees.
The center will offer its resources to University students, Williams said, but would not assume University obligations to such as providing study accommodations.
ONE SERVICE to handicapped students will be to help in finding attendant care. The center also will provide a program for attendant training, Williams said.
"We think this will be a big help," he said.
The center also will provide tran-

sportation for the handicapped with problems such as being confined to a wheelchair.
Williams said the center would not permit students with responsibilities to handicapped students, but it would help. Students probably would not be given rides to classes, but might be allowed to use public transportation.
The center probably will have a mini-bus type operation which would operate on demand, he said.

THE CENTER will have a housing specialist who will make recommendations and referrals to persons who have special housing needs, Williams said.
For example, he said, someone who was suddenly handicapped by an automobile accident might need advice on how to adapt his home for his special needs.
"I don't want to get to too specific about transportation, because the services offered
“Of course in the back of everyone’s mind in the question of whether we will lose our land because we are concerned with what our legal rights are in this situation, Seymour said. ‘Whatever happens here is no problem.’
Other services would be supportive counseling for handicapped individuals and their families, and in removing social, economic, and health currently facing handicapped individuals.
Other programs could be started in Kansas communities after studying the Douglas County project, Williams said, and other programs at centers would be funded with local monies.
ONE OBJECTIVE of Independence, Inc., is to increase community awareness of the needs of the handicapped, he said.
"I have no idea where we stand now," Kuby said, "but we took the first step by meeting with them. It was an important first step, but it must lead to action."
