KU ignoring troubles in Africa, group says
By SHANE A. HILLS
Staff writer
Apathy on the KU campus about the repression of blacks in South Africa is compounded by ignorance, several members of the KU Committee on South Africa said last night.
"Understanding the South African situation is a lot like peeling an onion," Dan Parkinson, Scott City graduate student, said at the organization's meeting in the Kansas Union.
"The more you peel it, the more difficult it gets. It's a very complicated situation," he said.
The committee met to share ideas about a possible demonstration Oct. 10, which is International United Nations Political Prisoners Day.
The committee especially is interested in the release of Nelson Mandela, a black South African who was jailed in 1960 for leading the now-banned African National Congress.
Charles Munson, Leawood junior and president of the committee, said he expected about 30 members to be active this year. A decision on what type of demonstration to wage Oct. 10 was
postponed because only four members attended last night's meeting.
A media black-out imposed by the South African government prohibits journalists from being on the scene when police violently suppress black riots, Parkinson said.
"Americans no longer see police whipping black Africans or rounding up school children and sending them to jail," Parkinson said.
The four members at the meeting agreed that sanctions against South Africa, such as those that Reagan vetooed last week, would be a tremendous psychological blow against the white rulers class of South Africa.
"Sanctions would pull out the rug from under South Africa." Parkinson said. "They are very sensitive to world opinion. Every time a company divests from South Africa, it makes headlines in the papers there."
Paul Longabach, Lawrence senior, said his concern about South Africa stemmed from a disgust with racism and fear for the future.
"Blacks are protesting in higher numbers each year," he said.
Watkins to save money by stopping food service
By KIRK KAHLER
Watkins Hospital will save up to $70,000 a year because it discontinued its food service this summer, James Strobl, director of student health services, said yesterday.
Stroent said the hospital, which has about 15 beds, discontinued the service because of high costs and a desire to keep the student health fee at a reasonable level. The service had been paid for in part by the student health fee.
The service also was financed partially by fees from certain health services and by the sale of prescription drugs. Strobl said.
The food for the hospital's inpatients now is provided by the Lawrence Memorial Hospital food service. Strobl said.
"It's cheaper than trying to keep our kitchen staffed," he said.
Strobil would not comment on the exact cost of the new food service arrangements because the search for a permanent replacement service was
going through the state bidding process.
Strobl said the cost of maintaining the kitchen was not practical.
Between semesters, Strobli said, Watkins sometimes has no patients. When the flu is going around, the hospital usually has 10 to 12 inpatients, he said, and two to three at other times.
Judith Hefley, Lawrence Memorial Hospital director of community relations, said the new service costed $4.35 per meal.
Ken Williams, Lawrence Memorial director of food services, said about 70 meals each month were provided to Watkins.
Lawrence Memorial food service employees started delivering the meals to Watkins at the beginning of this semester. Hefley said.
He said Lawrence Memorial provided only in-patient meals.
Strobli said the Watkins kitchen was staffed by four employees, but the closing of the kitchen did not leave them without jobs.
Senate OKs election bill but rules stay the same
The Student Senate elections will be run by an amended set of rules because of a bill passed last night at a special Senate meeting.
By a Kansan reporter
Key regulations concerning election expenditures remained the same.
The Senate passed the second part of a 12-page bill that rewrites the Senate rules about how the Elections Committee should run elections.
Senators debated the bill for about three hours and amended several parts before passing it.
Senators amended the bill so that rules governing campaign expenditures remained basically the same. Expenditures for presidential and vice-presidential candidates running
The bill originally would have separated the two sets of expenditures.
with a coalition will not be figured separately from the expenditures of the coalition.
In addition, the Senate amended the bill so that presidential and vicepresidential candidates running with a coalition would be able to pool their campaign money with the money of their coalition's senatorial candidates.
The amendment retains the policy now in force.
The Senate voted against a part of the original 12-page bill that stated that candidates for president and vice president must get the signatures of 500 members of the student body to be eligible for office.
