"I don't think it is appropriate to endorse any candidate in my position." Shankel said.
Berman is running for re-election in the 2nd Senatorial District against Republican Jane Eldredge.
The picture shows Shankel and Berman looking at construction on the Malott Hall addition. The copy states Berman's opinion on University students and his objection to using student fees to pay for University construction.
The advertisement appeared in Monday's edition of the University Daily Kansan. The picture also was in a campaign brochure recently distributed to Lawrence area residents.
Berman said the picture was chosen to show the new building construction, not necessarily that he was with Shankel.
Shankel said he had a picture taken with Berman and a picture with Eldredge a few weeks ago.
"I specifically told both of them that I couldn't endorse candidacies," Shankel said.
At the time the picture was taken, Shankel said, he did not know it would be used for the advertisement.

He said he thought voters would not see the picture and advertisement as an endorsement.
Berman said he hoped that no one would construe the picture as an endorsement by Shankel.
"If for no other reason," Berman said, "it would be improper of an acting chancellor.

Divestiture committee plans mail campaign
By ROSE SIMMONS Staff Reporter
The KU Committee on South Africa wants to start a mail campaign to promote the Kansas University Endowment Association into divesting from companies that conduct business in South Africa, Anita Chan, committee member, said yesterday.
The proposed mail campaign would ask Endowment Association donors to request that the association not use their money to invest in South Africa.
The committee sent a letter to the En-
ployment Association requesting the ad-
option of 1,000 members from 1,000.
"in the past, the association has not released donors' addresses to the public," he said.
The association has not received the letter yet, Richard Porto, association treasurer, said yesterday. Forto said that even if the letter had been sent by his donors’ addresses probably would be denied.
"A decision concerning the release of donors' addresses cannot be made until the association reiterates its commitment."
The proposed mail campaign is the latest move in the committee's five-year fight to get the Endowment Association to divest its assets from companies that invest in South Africa.
The committee estimates that the Endowment Association has investments of 80.3 million in companies that operate in South Africa.
Porto refused to say how much the association had invested in those companies. He said that the stand on divisiveness remained the same as the association stated in March.
"Individuals who hold stock in the association can pay more about the association's interests."
So far no donors have inquired about the association's investments, he said.
THE PRESSURE PUT on the Endowment Association to divest is part of a national movement to force U.S. companies to cut off investments in South Africa.
The principles call for reforms for South African black workers, including equal access to for advancement, health care, equal access to locker rooms and locker rooms and equal wages.
The Endowment Association's policy on South African investments supports the primary principle which advocate improvement work can occur in African workers employed by U.S. companies.
DURING A VEIST To South Africa last month, Sullivan noted that few U.S. companies
The Rev. Leon Scott van, a black who is on the
Rev. Corp. Board of directors, was the author of
the book *Invisible Man*.
had implemented the principles, although many had signed an agreement to do so.
"American companies are moving at the pace of an opossum," he said last month.
However, according to a national divesutive organization, stricter adherence to the Sullivan principles would not alter black working conditions in the burdensome system that perpetuates the conditions.
"The Sullivan principles are not an action, a reaction, or organization. the American businessman on Africa."
THE AMERICAN COMMITTEE charges that the principles were a response to growing black resistance to apartheid in South Africa and the system of apartheid or working conditions.
Endowment Association investment records could be opened to the public if the Kansas attorney general's office finds that the association fits the legal requirements of a public organization. The KU Committee on South Africa asked the attorney general's office to review the bylaws of the Endowment Association in July.
Porto declined to comment on the effectiveness of the Sullivan principles and how it may affect the association's policy on divestiture.

"The turban is part of the traditional dress worn in the southern part of Libya," whispered a Libyan student standing near the dancer. "It's especially by men, to keep out the sand and wind."
One minute and several swirls later, the turban was complete, leaving only the dancer's eyes. "You're going to be fine," she said.
The pounding of the drums onstage signaled the beginning of the first number, and the dancer hopped into place as a line of synchronized dancers shuffled into the sootlight.
As the dancer kneeed backstage, a long white sheet was wrapped deftly around his head.
The national dance troupe, which has competed in dance contests all over the world, is touring the United States. En route to Washington, D.C., the group performed here as part of Arab Libyan Folkreight Night, sponsored by Lawrence branch of the Libyan Student Union.

The KU athletic department, looking to increase basketball revenue, will convert the press area on the west side of Allen Field House into preferred season ticket seating this year.
Moving the press down to the floor on the east side will make available 204 new theater seats, Floyd Temple, physical plant director, said yesterday.
"We're probably one of the few arenas in the country to have the press area in the prime seating area," Temple said. "To accommodate customers, we decided to take out the press area."
TEMPLATE SAID THAT because the new seats
would increase revenue considerably, they would
increase revenue considerably.
"They are high priority seats, so we'll be able to attract more honors," he said.
Susan Wachter, athletic business manager.
said that if all the new seats were sold, basket ball revenue would be $17,952.
More importantly, the athletic department expects additional donations from people who buy tickets for the new seats, said John Novotty, director of the Williams Educational Fund.
"We are hoping to generate $100,000 from members of the Williams Fund," Novayt said. "It should help the athletic program. We're fortunate to have an area we can expand into.
"We're excited because there has been no new seating in Allen Field House since 1955. Also, we have had a tremendous backlog of people who have wanted theater seats for years."
In addition to the extra seating, some other changes are planned at Allen, Tembley said.
THE SPORTS INFORMATION office will replace the physiology lab exercise in the northwest corner of the second floor, he said. The exercise room is completely completed Robinson Gymnasium addition.

Fee increase predicted
By MIKE ROBINSON

Students probably will face an increase in their activity fees next fall to cover rising costs for the 16 groups that receive allocations under the Student Senate Revenue Code, Kevin Boldt, chairman of the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee, said yesterday.
However, according to Boldt, the amount of any increase will have to be determined by the rate at which the rate increases.
The 16 groups that receive bulk allocations have been determined by the Student Senate to be worthy of regular allocations. Their allocations are structured into the Senate Revenue Code.
The $11.10 activity fee each full-time student divides among the 16 groups each semester (these are the following)
According to Senate records, there has not been a fee increase for three years, and Boldt said that at least one group had reported that its costs had almost doubled since then.
The Senate decided to reschedule the revenue code hearings from next week to the next Senate term. Boltth said, because of the unexpectedly large number of complaints that the Senate completed Wednesday night.
The delay would allow the groups and the Senate more time to prepare for the budget hearings, Boldt said.
The revenue code hearings are similar to hearings for budget allocations but they are more extensive and examine past expenditures as well as future budget requests, Boldt said.
Bold said that the groups were being instructed to prepare their budgets by the first week of the next Senate term, although the groups probably be held during the third or fourth week.
The groups also are being told to plan for another revenue code hearing three years from now and to take into account a projected slight decrease in student population. Boldt said.
Groups involved in the revenue code review and the portion of the $11.10 activity fee that they receive are: Recreation Advisory Board, $2.55; University Daily Kansan, $2; University Theatre, $80; University Concert Series, $75; Chamber Music Series, $10; KU Bands, $3.00; KU Orenaces, $10; KJHK-FM Radio, $25; Legal Staff Association, $45; Graduate Student Membership, $25; Graduate Student Association, $41; Architecture & Urban Design, $02; Student Bar Association, $02; Student Senate, $58; miscellaneous student organizations, $1.35 and unallocated account, $37.
Today will be sunny with clear skies, according to the KU Weather Service. The high will be around 73. Winds will be variable from the northwest at 5-15 mph. Tonight will be fair with a low of 40.
