Protesters ask to meet Budig; 5 are arrested
by Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
The five protesters asked to speak to Budig, who was at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan.
Five protesters were arrested yesterday in Strong Hall when they flooded Chancellor Gene A. Budig's suite and demanded to speak with him after an anti-apartheid rally.
More than 100 other protesters demonstrated outside the suite after a 12-hour rally in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
The protesters arrested were Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior and a member of the KU Committee on South Africa; Ruth Lichtwardt, Lawrence junior and vice presidential candidate for the Chrysalis Coalition; Michael Maher, Roeland Park junior; and Lisa Rasor, Topeka soohomore.
A spokesman for the Douglas County district attorney's office said formal charges against the protesters had not been filed yesterday.
A positive identification of the fifth protester was not available, and KU police would not release the name.
The protesters were arrested for criminal trespass and interference with conduct of public business in a public place, said James Denney, KU police director.
At the rally, almost an hour before the arrests, Ungerman had said, "We've been asking for dialogue with the Kansas University Endowment Association. What they've decided to do instead of talking with us is to arrest us."
The four who identified themselves received summons to appear Nov. 12 in Douglas County District Court, and one who accused protest refused to identify himself.
Michael Maher, Reeland Park junior, is escorted from Strong Hall to a KU police car. Maher and four other student anti-apartheid protesters demanded to speak with Chancellor Gene A. Budig yesterday and refused to leave the chancellor's suite when asked by KU police.
"The demonstrators allowed us to do our job without force," Denney said. "They went peacefully."
About 15 KU police officers, including detectives, assisted with arrests in Strong.
Budig, in a statement released after he returned from the Med Center, said disruption would not be tolerated at the University and was in "diametric opposition to what a university stands for."

Action urged at anti-apartheid rally
See ARREST, p. 6, col.1
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Words against apartheid are good, but action is essential, the president of the Black Student Union said yesterday at an anti-apartheid rally in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
"If you say, 'Yes, I agree apartheid is wrong,' I applaud you, but that is not enough," said Eddie Watson, Black Student Union president and Kansas City, Kan., junior.
"If we all agree apartheid is immoral, we should move in ways to eliminate the system. I can only hope and pray that you will leave here as soon as that you found an act to eliminate racial segregation in South Africa."
And the actions of about 100 protesters resulted in the arrests of five protesters in the chancellor's suite yesterday, after the protesters moved from the area of their rally to
Strong Hall to speak with Chancellor Gene A. Budig, who was at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan.
Another speaker, Jane Ungerman,
Lawrence senior and a member of the KU Committee on South Africa,
said the committee's meeting with the Kansas University Endowment Association in the fall turned into a lecture about what the association did.
Todd Seymour, president of the Endowment Association, said he could only think of one trustee on the board also sat on the board of a corporation doing business in South Africa
"The issue was divestment, and we wanted dialogue," she said. "KUEA is still hiding behind the prudent investment law."
"They don't want anyone to tell them what they should do with their money. Some members of the board of trustees of the Endowment Association are on boards of other corporations that do business in South Africa. They're protecting their own interests."
Seymour also that this trustee had an inactive status, which meant that he was on an advisory board and did not have voting power.
"In some cases, we may not know what boards our trustees are on," Sevmour said.
The association's stand on divestment has not changed because of the recent protests, Seymour said, and investment advisers think that investments in South Africa still are prudent despite the turmoil in the country now.
Nana Ngobese, a black Durban, South Africa, graduate student, who has been at KU student four years, said, "I'm proud to be a KU student and for being able to stand up today and face the administration of KU.
'You can either get your money
out of South Africa, or you will suffer in the future. If apartheid is not taken care of today, it will slowly slip back into the backyard of America. You'd wish you had done something about it sooner.
"You grow up with your parents in your houses. Children in South Africa don't know their parents, because they go and work for years for companies."
Lennie Wesley, Wichita junior,
said that a university taught things
such as physics and biology,
but didn't teach brotherly love.
"It's teaching more about personal wealth." he said
Budig was asked to speak at the rally, but declined in a letter stating that he did not support by making sure that the University remained an open forum for debate.
If the University refuses to listen to what its students say, he said, the students have to keep on struggling.
Top KGB defector jumps sides again
United Press International
Appearing at a news conference at the Soviet Embassy, Yurchenko — ranked by U.S. officials as the No. 5 officer of the Soviet intelligence agency — said his team's internals "of interest" regimen included a dinner with CIA Director William Casey, but that he was drugged at the time and hardly recognized the American spymaster.
WASHINGTON — Vitaly Urychenko, a KGB agent once in charge of Soviet spying in the U.S., said yesterday he was kidnapped in Rome, spirited to the United States and pled with drugs for three months before slipping away from a CIA "safe house" and escaping to the Russian Embassy.
The State Department flatly denied that Yurchenko had been detained by force and said he would not be allowed to leave the country until U.S. officials were convinced his desire to return to the Soviet Union was genuine.
Yurchenko said he had been held outside Washington until Nov. 2 when, "due to the momentary lapse of attention on the part of the person watching me, I was able to get to my cellphone and come to the Soviet Embassy."
The bizarre turn of events, the latest in a year of spying scandals and defections that have strained East-West relations, came two years ago when Gorbachev summit set to ease tensions between the superpowers.
At the State Department, spokesman Charles Redmond read a brief statement that said Yurchenko had defected "of his own
The KGB agent said his "main torturer" was a CIA official with the code name "Charlie," who he identified as Colin Thompson — "a psychologically sick person." One of his guards, he said, was a "fat, silent, stupid non-emotional person only following orders. I thought I was among crazy persons."
Yurchenko — who appeared to relish his encounter with Washington reporters — said that after harsh treatment and repeated druggings, his captors "realized they could not break me.
volition" at the U.S. Embassy in Rome on Aug. 1, "requested asylum in the United States and signed a statement to that effect, and asylum was granted.
"At no time was Mr. Yurchenko held or coerced by improper, illegal or unethical means," Redman said. He said Yurchenko had cooperated with the CIA since arriving in the United States Aug. 2.
. . . Perhaps the fact that we're going to have a summit saved me."
Sen. David Durenburger, R-Minn., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Casey assured him yesterday afternoon that none of the KGB office's charges was true.
Redman said Acting Secretary of State John Whitehead had rejected a formal Soviet protest over the matter and the demand that Yurchenko be allowed to return to the Soviet Union. He said Yurchenko was 'ready' to uriletry until "the United States government is, in fact, assured that this action is genuinely of his own choice."
Gammons won't go cheaply
New father ponders sale of nightclub
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
Earlier this year. Kirsch opened another private club, Baby Boomers, which was built into an existing area of Gammons.
One of Lawrence's most popular private clubs, Gammons, is on the market for $350,000, the club's owner and his real estate agent said yesterday.
Kirsch expressed concern that making public the
Mike Kirsch, owner of Gammons, 1601 W. 23rd St., last said night. "I'm not aggressively try to sell it. My wife just had a baby and she's interested in me getting out of the private club business."
Kirsch said that he wasn't in a rush to sell the club but that he eventually wanted to leave the private club business and return to selling real estate.
"Technically, in 1986, when I opened Gammons, it would have been for sale for the right price," he said. "Basically, anything is for sale if someone is willing to pay the right price."
fact that the club was for sale would generate discontent among Gammons employees.
"It isn't a fire sale," he said. "We've been putting out feelings for a couple of months now and I'm not real anxious to sell. I may be around for two years. I am not walking away."
Gammons has been the most popular club in Lawrence for five years; he said, and anyone who purchases the club would be unwise to alter it.
Kirsch said if he sold Gammons, customers or employees probably would notice no difference in the club's management, decor or names.
"We've been committed to the most state-of-the-art club in Lawrence," Kirsch said. "I don't see any changes down the road for Gammons."
Some potential buyers have expressed interest, he said.
Mike McGrew, a Lawrence real estate agent negotiating the sale of the club, said, "They've had a few contacts from in and out of town and we're working with a lot of different people at this point."
McGrew Real Estate Inc., 1505 Kasold Drive, is handling the sale.
Kirsch said that putting Gammons on the market didn't mean that he urgently needed to sell the club.
"That's not the case with Gammons. We're a thriving business," he said. "It's just that the owner's wife is putting the pressure on him to find a more family-oriented occupation."
One bad aspect about getting out of the private club business at this time, he said, was that he would miss out on the opportunity to sell liquor by the drink in open clubs.
"I hate to lose my opportunity to participate in an open market where every person in Lawrence is a potential customer on any given night," he said. "That could bust the nightclub business wide open."
Kirsch said he was confident that when voters got to vote for liquor by the drink aex t year, counties with large populations, such as Douglas, Johnson, Shawnee and Sedgwick, would vote to drop private club memberships.
Early enrolling helps athletes
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
KU officials say a University policy allowing varsity athletes to enroll early helps alleviate class conflicts with practices. But some students say the policy is unfair.
Seniors' pre-enrollment for next semester began yesterday. The policy allowed some varsity athletes to enroll in the new program on night. Pre-enrollment ends Nov 22.
More than 200 varsity athletes enrolled from 7 to 9 p.m. yesterday at the Enrollment Center, 111 Strong Hall.
"I think that's a trite unfair."
Michael Podrebarac, Emporia freshman, said yesterday of the policy.
Podrebarac said student-athletes should not be treated any differently from other students.
"I don't think they are any more important than people who have to support themselves with jobs," he said. "I think that's grossly unfair."
David Burklund, Junction City freshman, also said he objected to the early enrollment of varsity athletes.
"I don't think that is very right that they should have a special status over us because they play sports," he said.
Kim Campbell, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore, said that if the athletes had conflicts between classes and practices, they should solve them on their own.
See ENROLL. p. 5, col. 1
tive educational services, said the early enrollment would ensure that classes and practices would not become a conflict for varsity athletes.
"They need to be able to enroll in classes that meet primarily in the morning," he said.
Richard Lee, director for suppor
Gary Thompson, director of student records and educational services; said that last night's special enrollment was not the first time that
Lee said many athletes had been kept out of classes they needed because by the time they enrolled, the early sections had been filled. He said he hoped that by enrolling early, that would not happen.
