Plan to move blacks proposed
United Press International
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A government commission yesterday proposed removing 42,000 blacks from their traditional homes to make way for whites. A Zulu tribal chief described the move as "a prescription for disaster."
The report was commissioned by the white minority government five years ago to examine the future of the fragmented KwaZulu tribal homeland in the eastern Natal province of South Africa.
In the latest racial unrest in yearlong violence that has killed an estimated 700 people, a black policeman was killed by a mob and police fatality shot another black man in townships outside Port Elizabeth during the night, a police spokesman said yesterday.
Police also found a critically injured black man, unconscious with a burning, gasoline-filled tire around his body, in a black suburb outside Queenstown in the Cape province.
In a report published in Durban, the government
commission recommended land swaps between white South Africa and the Zulu territory to join some of KwzUwalu's 44 separate parts and create a homeland comprising 15 islands of "black" land
Black affairs minister Chris Heinis said the government had not yet taken a stand on the proposals and stressed they did not represent an official policy.
But Zulu Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, chief minister of the KwaZulu administration and traditional leader of the nation's 6 million Zulus, denounced the proposal, saying it came at a time
when grand apartheid had virtually been abandoned.
Grand apartheid is the name given to a 1960s plan to carve out 10 tribal homelands and make all black South Africans citizens of the fragmented territories.
"It is tragic that the Commission for Cooperation and Development pursues its now outdated mandate as though we were still living in an earlier era," Buthelzei said. "This is finalizing a prescription for disaster."
White opposition lawnmaker Ray Swart urged the government to ignore the report and said there would be serious problems if the proposal was not rejected.
of the proposed removals, he said. "This is nothing but criminal white piracy. This land has been owned by generations of the black community going back at least 200 years."
Swart said the government should act on rival plans for a merger of white Natal province and KwaZulu into a single administrative entity.

End of apartheid in sight,prof's say
"The youth of South Africa have got to a point where they are willing to lay down their lives in pursuit of change," Drayton said. "When people have reached that point, liberation is assured. It is a matter of time."
Arthur Drayton, professor of African studies, and Jacob Gordon, associate professor of African studies, agreed that the blacks of South Africa would fight for their human rights until apartheid ended.

Blacks in South Africa eventually will dismantle apartheid, making current times a critical period for that nation and the world, two professors of African studies said recently.
Gordon said that what happened after apartheid ended was an important issue now.
"It is inevitable that there will be a majority rule in South Africa — a government by the people, for the people," he said. "That is the fairest thing to all the racial groups in South Africa."
If the blacks come into power in South Africa, the whites are afraid they will be destroyed, Gordon said. A democracy can work regardless of the color of the leaders, he said.
"When the government is returned to the people," Gordon said, "they will do justice.
I would expect some period of instability. Some blacks will want to punish the whites."
painted Drayton said the amount of bitterness the blacks would feel was in the hands of the whites and depended on how soon and how hard they worked to end apartheid.
"This century will not close on aparthied," Drayton said. "But it will take longer than that to bring about ideal conditions."
literate, Gordon said, the black and white leaders of South Africa should negotiate now with the help of leaders of other countries to peacefully discuss how the country will be reconstructed if apartheid ends.
"They cannot negotiate human rights," Gordon said. "But they can negotiate how the country will change.
historically, apartheid is a European world view of the 19th century, a view that said all people of color are inherently inferior."
Drayton said apartheid, which
costs the country almost nothing to maintain, was more of an economic than a racial policy.
"Apartheid guarantees the West a phenomenal return of profits on investments because the government has enslaved the black population," Drayton said.
South Africa has about 5 million whites and more than 24 million blacks. The whites occupy about 75 percent of the land, Drayton said.
Blacks live on homelands, called bantustans, which are similar to reservations. They are considered citizens of their homelands but not of South Africa.
Drayton said, "In creating ban-tustans, the government has by law prevented blacks from taking residence in urban areas, except under certain strict conditions.
"I like to say that if somebody miraculously could prove to the whites in South Africa that they would make an even greater profit by loving blacks, they would start loving them to death."
Blacks in South Africa do not have any basic human rights, Gordon said. However, Gordon and Drayton, who are both black, agreed changes were taking place.
for example. For example, interracial marriage and dating are allowed now, and in some areas blacks and whites can eat in the same places and ride the same trains.
Drayton said divestment and economic sanctions by the United States and other countries could put pressure on the South African government to dismantle apartheid.
Although the Kansas University Endowment Association, U.S. colleges and universities and possibly even the United States cannot bring an end to apartheid, every bit of pressure on the South African government will help, Drayton said.
However, Gordon said, divestment would not solve the problems in South Africa.
"People should not invest in a policy that does not enhance the development of a democratic society." he said, "because it increases the chances of suppression.
"But social justice and equality will come faster if companies invest under certain conditions."
Companies could use their investments to destruct apartheid by insisting that blacks receive the same benefits as whites for their work, he said.
Exams show progress for fifth consecutive year
KU freshmen above national average on ACT tests
By Gary Duda
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
The 1984-85 freshman class at the University of Kansas once again scored above the national average on the American College Testing exam, according to figures released yesterday.
The 2,539 freshmen who entered the University this fall scored an average of 22.3 on the ACT, 3.7 points higher than the national average of 18.6.
The KU scores also increased by more than those of the nation. KU's scores increased by six-tenths of a point while national scores increased by half a point.
Gil Dyck, dean of educational services, said that this was the fifth consecutive year that the KU freshmen's ACT scores had not fluctuated greatly.
He said the high ACT scores indicated that the University had done well in attracting good students to KU.
"When you talk about the range of scores over the past five years, the University of Kansas has not varied significantly," he said.
"The quality of our students has remained fairly constant over the past five years," Dyck said.
He said that the University had scored better than other schools of the same size.
ACT exams are given each year to high school seniors. The score is obtained by adding four ACT assessment scores in tests given on
KU freshmen also scored higher than the state average of 19.1 for 1984-85. The state's average score for this year decreased by one-tenth of a point over last year.
English, mathematics, social studies and natural sciences, then dividing the sum by four.
KU ACT scores, as well as the state scores, have run consistently higher that the national average over the past years.
Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the slight
change in state scores was insignificant. She said scores still ran higher than those in other states.
"We are still above the national average, and we are still getting top quality students." she said.
Last year 17,714 students in Kansas took the ACT. The Kansas Department of Education said that was about 64 percent of the state's high school seniors in 1984-85.

Senate delays action on restructuring bill
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansan staff
Action on a bill to restructure Student Senate meetings was postponed last night after two hours of discussion by the Student Senate Rights Committee.
The committee also passed a bill that would add a statement of purpose to the beginning of the Senate's rules and regulations.
Further discussion of the bill will take place during a special meeting of the committee at 8 p.m. Monday.
The statement, written by Liberal Arts and Sciences senator Dennis "Boog" Highberger, began: "The purpose of the KU Student Senate is to work to enhance the learning experience of all KU students both in and outside the classroom."
The five-paragraph statement listed Senate goals and contained an anti-discrimination clause similar to the one in the University Code.
p. m. tomorrow in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
If passed in its current form, the bill, which was introduced by Martie Aaron, social welfare senator, and David Epstein, Nunemaker senator, would require the Senate to meet every week instead of every other
It also would limit speaking time on the Senate floor and require special action by two-thirds of the Senate to allow a meeting to last after 9:30 p.m.
The statement of purpose will be debated before the full Senate at 7
the committee had discussed $2^{1/2}$ pages of the nine-page bill when it adjourned at 11 p.m. yesterday.
Epstein said, "Senate right now . . . is sinking. This bill is a life raft to help this boat sail."
He said it would make Senate meetings shorter and more efficient by keeping senators from going overboard with speechmaking.
"It is rare," Epstein said, "that when a speaker has made his point, he sits down."

5 flashing incidents reported
By Karen Blakeman

Five flashers were reported to area police in three days last week, a high number, but fairly typical for this time of year, police said yesterday.
Four flashers were reported to KU police and one was reported to the Lawrence Police Department.
was reported to the Lawrence. "They always show up when the students get back in town," said Lt. Mike Hall, Lawrence police crime analyst.
Lt. Jeanne Longaker of the KU police department said that although the number of flashing incidents did increase at the beginning of fall semesters, she thought it was not that more flashes were in town, but that the flashes in town had a bigger audience available when the college women return.
Tom Bates, clinical psychologist at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St., said no certain age group of men were more likely to expose themselves, but flashers were almost always men, and their victims were almost always women.
"Most of them are expressing a kind of passive hostility toward women," Bates said. "They usually aren't aware of their anger, and often it's a mystery to them why they did it. They experience an uncontrollable compulsion to expose themselves."
rnese men are either unable to carry on normal sexual relationships or their relationships are not satisfying to them."
Hates said the type of hostility experienced by a flasher was different from the type experienced by a rapist, and flashes were unlikely to become rapists.
"The dynamics are completely different," he said. "It's like comparing the type of anger that is expressed by being late to something you don't want to go, and the type of anger that is expressed by punching someone in the nose."
Flasher's generally plan how to expose themselves and then how to get away, he said. They want to shock the victim and seem to enjoy any expression of shock or surprise, he said.
"Unless they are caught and forced into therapy, there is usually nothing that can be done," he said.
But, Bates said, laughing or making sarcastic comments would probably not curtail the activities of a flasher.
Bob Avery, crime prevention officer for the Lawrence Police Department, said the biggest problem in arresting flashers was obtaining descriptions of the suspects.
Bates said victims of flashers should notify police as soon as possible.
nastier.
"The object is to put something over on a woman," he said. "The fact he was able to perform the act and get away is enough."
"Most victims can't remember what their attackers looked like," he said. "We need information like height, weight, hair and eye color. If he was in a car, we need a vehicle description."
Trial date set for suit of players
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
A Friday trial date was set yesterday in Johnson County District Court in the lawsuit by three football players against the University of Kansas and the dean of educational services, but the trial could be moved and be postponed.
The three players involved, tailback Lynn Williams, offensive guard Doug Certain and linebacker Dane Griffin, did not practice with the team yesterday.
Edward G. Collier Jr., Griffin's attorney, said Johnson County District Court Judge Phillip Wooldson had scheduled the suit to go to trial at 9:30 a.m. Friday.
Woodsworth yesterday also granted a change of venue hearing to the University and the dean, Gil Dyck. The hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday in Johnson County District Court.
The University general counsel asked last Friday that the case be moved from Johnson County to Douglas County District Court. If the change of venue is granted, the case would be tried at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center in Lawrence.
Vickie Thomas, University general counsel, said a change of venue probably would postpone the trial.
Thomas asked that the case be moved to Douglas County because she did not think the University and Dyck could properly proceed with it being tried in Johnson County.
Last Friday, Judge G. Joseph Pieron granted the general counsel a partial modification of a restraining
