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.

Moneaugh also said that he hoped the meeting was beneficial, but he said nothing had changed.
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 students aren't the only people who attended the sales.
Lesa Duby, 706 Illinois St., said Saturday that she usually had a garage sale once a year. She said that most of her customers were Lawrence residents.
"Fewer students than you would think come to garage sales, and the things I thought would sell haven't," Duby said. "There is a type of person who (requests garage sales, people who expect to walk away with an armload of stuff for 65."
She said she prized her things so they would sell, not necessarily to make money. What she doesn't sell she gives to the Salvation Army or Pennhouse, a Lawrence establishment that gives donated items to the needy.

Duby called herself "a reformer pack rat" and said it made her feel great to rid of old things.
Many Lawrence residents were busy last week cleaning out closets, garages and attics in anticipation of the return of students, and desinate early morning showers, Saturday proved to be a good day for more than 100 Lawrence households having garage sales.

Carol Clifford, secretary to Elizabeth Soppaella, director of the Applied English Center, which conducts the testing, said that because of some initial confusion after the Regency policy was passed, some instruction may have been tested under the lower score, but that the center now is using the maximum of 340.
According to Tacha KU has an annual review for faculty that includes a check for English competency. Currently only incoming teaching assistants and faculty are being tested unless the department chairman or dean determines that a person already teaching has a communications problem, she said.
