Divestment battle to persist
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
The KU committee on South Africa will continue to fight for divestment with demonstrations and protests despite a meeting with representatives of the Kansas University Endowment Association last week.
Seven representatives of the Endowment Association met Wednesday with five students and faculty members, and according to Jane Ungerman, the representative for the committee on South Africa, "nothing had changed," although her group had been trying to arrange the meeting since last spring.
The committee, which is a registered student organization, wants the Endowment Association to divest from companies that do business in South Africa because South Africa practices a policy of racial segregation called apartheid.
Ungerman said that the meeting was a reiteration of everything that had been said before.
Those attending the meeting with the Endowment Association representatives were Ungerman; William Easley, student body president; Jeff Polack, student body vice president; Arno Knapper, professor of business, and Robert Jerry, associate professor of law.
Everyone at the meeting was given the chance to make presentations and short statements on the issue, Ungerman said.
Todd Seymour, president of the Endowment Association, told the representatives about the Endowment Association, including what it does and where its investments are.
Ungerman said the meeting was worth attending, although she said nothing was accomplished.

The meeting, he said, was a small, private one because the members of the Endowment Association did not want to make it a media event.
But problems arose before the meeting ever started.
Arrangements to hold a room past the cutoff are made in advance and are approved for students who report such unavoidable circumstances as being 'on the space shuttle and not expected to land.' McElhene said

Menaugh also said that he hoped the meeting was beneficial, but he said nothing had changed.
The housing market on and around campus is tight this time of year, but a variety of options still are available to homeless students.
"We set the cutoff at noon on the first day of classes, and unless arrangements have been made, those who haven't shown up will forfeit their rooms," said Fred McElhenne, director of residential programs.
Residence halls are overflowing with students right now, but some spaces will open up when students fail to show up for rooms they claimed last spring and over the summer.
