Students learn to manage cities
By Kady McMaster Of the Kansan staff
For 37 years, a KU program has taught its students to handle the complex problems of running a city.
managers and administrators of cities such as Dallas, San Antonio and Lawrence have graduated from the nationally recognized Edwin O. Stene graduate program in public administration and praised it highly.
"It's the best graduate program of its kind in the nation." Charles Anderson, city manager of Dallas and 1966 graduate of the program, said yesterday from his home in Dallas. "It has maintained a tradition of excellence and high academic standards."
The program was established in 1948 by Stene and Ethan Allen, then chairman of the department of political science, said John Nalbandian, director of the program and associate professor of political science, last week.
Nalbandian said one reason the program was so successful was alumni involvement.
Besides returning to share their experience with students, graduates often provide internships for students and help many of them find jobs, Nalbandian said.
"If you look around the U.S., you'll see that some of the top city managers are from KU." Buford Watson said. "I think the KU program has a very good national reputation. Its basic strengths are its high quality of teachers and its internships."
Nikolaus Buford Watson, Lawrence city manager, is a 1958 graduate of the program. His son, Mark, is a 1978 graduate and is the city manager of Stamford, Texas.
Full-time students serve nineteen month, paid internships with a city official after one year of classes, Nalbandian said.
Mike Wildden, Lawrence assistant city manager and a 1972 graduate of the program, said, "If you want to be a city manager, this is the program. There are a lot of public administration programs, but none of them steer you into the field of city management the way KU does."
Marion Sheppard, administrative director of the program, said students also were assigned a mentor to answer questions and to explain the inner workings of the city.
"The mentors can tell the students about the informal structure and personalities in the city," Sheppard said. "They are also great for opening doors to jobs for students."
In the 1970s, the program was expanded to include what Nabandian calls "mid-career students" — people who already have jobs in government. Classes are offered for these students at the Lawrence campus, at the Capitol

Tuition grows at twice inflation rate
By Gary Duda Of the Kansan staff
Despite a decrease in the inflation rate, tuition at the University of Kansas continues to increase faster than the Consumer Price Index.
From 1983 to 1984, in-state tuition at KU rose by 7.5 percent. Out-ofstate tuition rose by 6.8 percent. The Consumer Price Index for that same period rose by only 4.3 percent, according to statistics provided by the Bureau of National Affairs.
In 1983, KU in-state tuition was $534, and in 1984 it was $574.
or-state tuition went from $1,324
to $1,414 during the same period.
This year, in-state tuition increased to $815 and out-of-state tuition increased to $1,517.
Fortune magazine reported last week that tuition at the nation's universities had increased at double the rate of the Consumer Price Index.
Twenty-five years ago, tuition for the parents of today's students was 43 percent less in inflation-adjusted terms than it is today, the magazine said. Since 1967, however, tuition at the eight Ivy League schools has
The increase in KU tuition for the past four school years is ahead of the national average. Since 1982, KU in-state tuition has increased by 36.1 percent compared with an increase of 11.1 percent increase in the Index. During that same time period, KU out-of-state tuition rose 36.6 percent.
In 1982, KU students paid $452 for in-state tuition and paid $1,110 for out-of-state tutu.

S. Africa ready to 'move away' from apartheid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — South Africa's ambassador-designate to the United States said yesterday that his government was prepared to give the black majority voting rights and that the decision had been made "to move away from aparthief."
Herbert Beukes, South Africa's ambassador-designate to the United States, said on NBC's "Meet The Press" that reforms being discussed by the Pretoria government would include dismantling his country's apartheid policies.
"The decision has been made, yes, to move away from apartheid, to dismantle apartheid." Beukes said.
Pressed to explain what is meant by citizenship for South Africa's black majority, Beukes said, "Everything that citizenship implies and that the government has already said.
"If the people are part of the South African nation, all those who are citizens of the country, they have to be accommodated politically. Political rights have to be extended to them."
Beukes said political equality meant "obviously that everybody should have the right to participate in the process . . . every person should have the right to vote, indeed. . . The government's always been open to extend democracy in the country, to extend political rights to people. It's a question of how it should be done and in what form."
Appearing on NBC following Beukes, Rep. William Gray, D-Pa., was asked whether he was surprised by what the envoy said.
"I was quite surprised, and I would just like to say I hope it comes true and I hope it comes true rather quickly and on a timetable to avert the increasing violence that I think will take place." Gray said. "But unfortunately, we've heard the South African government talk about reforms consistently for the last decade, but they don't quite seem to get passed into law."
Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., appearing with Gray, said the signing Monday of an executive order by President Reagan imposing certain sanctions on South Africa was a united voice "heard by whites and blacks in South Africa. Now, we can see already some activity" in South Africa.
But Gray said Reagan's action was taken only to defuse congressional moves to pass more stringent sanctions legislation.
"I think the majority in South Africa sees it for what it is," Gray said. "What the president did was good news to Pretoria as the president of the South African Chamber of Commerce said. It was basically bad news for the victims in Soweto. I think we had that one voice of a bipartisan compromise and it got fractured."
Gray predicted Republicans would join Democrats in the House in pushing to attach sanctions legislation to a continuing resolution.
"I think that there's a very good possibility that if we don't see any immediate action that we will take some legislative response," Gray said.
Protests on campuses fuel divestment effort
The Associated Press
A spring of campus protests and a summer of South African violence have swelled the ranks of colleges that are selling all or part of their investments in companies with dealings in South Africa.
5 KU protesters convicted p.3.
Since April, when scores of U.S. campuses erupted in anti-apartheid protests, about 20 colleges and universities from Maine to Arizona have adopted policies of total or partial divestiture of South Africa-related holdings.
Sixty-one schools have sold nearly $300 million in such portfolio holdings since tiny Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., became the nation's first college in 1977 to adopt a South Africa-free investment policy, according to the American Committee on Africa, a New York-based anti-apartheid lobbying group.
A spot check found many other colleges actively considering tougher policies as well. In recent weeks:

Columbia University, the scene last spring of some of the most bitter student demonstrations, announced it is likely to agree next month to
■The University of Iowa divested itself of more than 90 percent, or about $2.3 million worth, of its South African-related holdings. Some students were angered because the school insisted it acted for economic, not moral reasons.
By contrast, a committee set up to study divestiture at Iowa State University is expected to recommend shortly that the school sells its $550,000 in such holdings, for moral reasons.
■ Rutgers University in New Jersey, another hotbed of student protests last spring, was considered all but certain to accept an investment committee recommendation made on Aug. 30 to sell its remaining $7.5 million in South African holdings.

Columbia, in New York, would be the first Ivy League college to adopt a policy of total divestiture of South African investments.

Eventually some of the lights were turned off and everyone lay on a mat, palms up, eyes closed.
This was not Jazzercise. It was yoga.
Some of the results are similar to aerobics, because yoga strengthens and protects the heart, said Arthur Kilmurray, a guest yoga instructor who conducted a workshop in Robinson Gymnasium on Saturday and yesterday.
He said that when his students were on the mats list'eng to his voice, they were more relaxed than if they were asleep.
The workshop was sponsored by KU Recreational Services and Yoga Midwest, a yoga training center scheduled to open today at 1027 Massachusetts St.
Kilmurray, who teaches yoga in California at the B.K.S. Iyengar Association, said, "The theory of yoga is that we experience more subtle layers of consciousness by learning to turn off those parts of the brain that are normally active."
He said part of the brain was still buzzing with activity when the body
"Through yoga, you learn to never be under stress," Kilmurray said. "The heart is always calm."
Kilmurray said the exercises were teaching the brain to allow muscles to relax until they were needed.
slept, and yoga relaxed that area of the brain.
"The body has tremendous intelligence," Kilmurray said.
Patricia Brady, a Lawrence preschool teacher and participant in Kilmurray's workshop, said she started yoga classes 10 years ago and now was starting again.
She said she had constant back pain, and nothing else had helped — except yoga.
"I tried everything," she said. "I do lots of yoga now."
Kilmurray said yoga, unlike most sports, tones all parts of the body without using one side more than the other, or using arms more than legs. All parts and sides should be used equally.
