Bow tie prof ready to quit after 32 years
As students await the final minutes before class begins, they place bets. What color bow tie will Professor Ketzel wear today?
They exchange glances as Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science, rushes in — donned with a bow tie — ready to hit his assault or praise on U.S. foreign policy.
His customary bow tie, popular in the 1950s, reflects his fondness for the days past. Ketzel, 65, will retire in January after 32 years of teaching.
His colleagues affirm his zeal for activism.
"I know that it's time to leave when I become more intolerent of students." Ketzel says. "I wouldn't like to relieve the fires or shootings of the '60s, they just made life exciting."
"He's a liberal, that's how I would describe him." says Allan Cigler, professor of political science.
Ketzel's participation in groups such as Amnesty International, the Union for Concerned Scientists and Gary Hart's Center for Democracy, confirm his enthusiasm.
Ketzel received his bachelor's degree from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1942. He then went to the University of California at Berkeley to earn his master's and doctoral degrees in political science.
Before coming to KU as an assistant professor of political science in 1954, Ketzel served at the U.S. Department of State during President Harry Truman's administration.
Now, he is the coordinator of undergraduate studies and the coordinator of the department's honors program in addition to his teaching duties.
Beyond his duties as a professor, Ketzel is active in bringing speakers to campus.
"People were calling me a communist," Ketzel says. "I just wanted the other side to be heard."
He acknowledged that his efforts in the '60s to bring communists, Nazis and self-appointed kings to campus to speak made him a controversial figure.
says. "I just wanted the other side to be heard." Students remember this devotion to present conflicting opinions.
"He never gave an opinion as fact and he always gave all sides of the issue," says Karen Greschel, Walnut Creek, Calif., senior.
Some of his opinions, however, illustrate a pessimistic world view.
"I don't think the world will outlive the century," he says. "I just can't tell you whether it's pollution, bombings or overpopulation that will end it."
Ketzel's wife, however, says his pessimistic political view does not extend into his family life.
Lee Ketzel, his wife, said that when doctors told her husband in 1963 that he had intestinal cancer, he refused to consider death as a real possibility.
"It is this optimism about life that is so contrary to a sometimes pessimistic view taught in his classes," she said.
Clifford Ketzel, professor of political science, discusses plans for his retirement. Ketzel has been teaching at the University of Kansas for 32 years.
California state funds may be divested
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A plan to divest $11 billion in state funds from companies that do business with South Africa was approved yesterday in the Assembly and sent to the governor, who has promised to sign it.
After much debate, the lower house voted 50-26 on the measure. The bill, by Assemblyman Maxine Waters of Los Angeles, requires companies to completely divest their South Africa-linked assets within four years.
divestiture policy, involving $3 billion in university investments
The Senate approved the measure Monday.
"We are making the most significant statement that that's been made anywhere in the world in terms of condemnation of apartheid in South Africa," said Assembly Speaker Willie Brown. "I think other states and other nations will follow this example."
Earlier this summer, the University of California Board of Regents approved a similar
Waters' bill, in various forms, has been before the Legislature for nearly seven years, but has never become law. A less-comprehensive measure was approved by the Legislature but was vetoed by Gov. George Deukmeijan last year.
Deukmejian, who is up for re-election, last month announced a significant policy shift. He said
"California today sent a clear, unequivocal message to the racist government in South Africa." Deukmejian said in a statement after the vote. "California's action is morally right and fiscally sound, because if apartheid is not ended soon, business investments in that country will suffer great losses."
nat he now favored across-the-board divestiture and that he would sign divestiture legislation.
Elizabeth Kurata held in her hands a reed necklace from east Africa. Years ago, the necklace, actually a choker by Western standards, had been soaked in mud and animal fat.
Merchant brings parts of Africa to Lawrence
"The bush people soak their necklaces because it wards off flies." Kurata said, before she delved into a long story about her life in Nairobi, Kenya's capital city. "The more necklaces they have, the richer they think they are."
Estimates of the amount of investments that could be sold range from $10.6 billion by Waters to $30 billion by some legislators. The governor's office and other analysts have estimated the divestiture at $11.4 billion.

Kurata's shop sells jewelry and some woven goods from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia, Uganda and Kenya. Most pieces sell for less than $30. She recently returned from a 30-day trip to Kenya, where she bought another year's worth of jewelry.

side of the world.
Kurata, who grew up in Lawrence, says she knows Kenya better than Lawrence.
Kurata also sells silver rings, earrings and bracelets, which are mostly Ethiopian heirlooms, she said.
She buys from traders in Nairobi, probably the most commercially thriving city in eastern Africa, she said. She hires craftsmans in Nairobi to clean and restring the beads into necklaces, earrings and bracelets before she sells them because the beads are dirty and not in marketable form when she buys them.
"I was running out of money when I found a trader who had bags upon bags of silver from Ethiopia," she said, referring to her last buying trip. "Famine is so bad there that they are selling their family heirlooms to buy food. I could only afford a few silver items.
"When I went back to pick them up, he had sold the rest of the silver to silversmiths to be melted down."
"When people come into my shop, or to learn that I've lived in Africa, I usually find them very interested in hearing about tribal Africa," she said.
"The rest of the world understands much more about the United States than most Americans understand about the world," she said.
In 1973, she ventured to Kenya to visit a friend. Soon she became enamored with her experiences there, most of which took place in the bush country surrounding Nairobi.
She met and married a Ugandan merchant of Indian descent and stayed in Kenya almost 11 years.
Whenever she wanted a few days of serenity, she said, she would camp on the grasslands in Kenya.
"It's like going back a million years," she said. "It's just you, the lions, the elephants — no highways or restaurants. But you have to keep your food locked away from the baboons."
Nearby was the snow-peaked mountain of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. And in Tanzania, Kurata visited the volcanic crater of Ngorongoro, where an isolated set of wildlife must remain because it cannot climb the steer crater walls.
She savors her memories of huge hordes of wildbeests, an antelope-like animal, migrating across the Serengeti plains from Kenya to Tan-
Big increases in enrollment tax resources

With the KU budget belt already pulled tight, the addition of at least 939 students is placing the quality of education in jeopardy, an administrator said yesterday.
"We are experiencing an enrollment increase that already is creating problems for us on several levels," said Del Brinkman, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
Preliminary fall enrollment figures show a 3.8 percent increase in students.
Enrollment in fall 1985 increased by 102 students and in fall 1984 by 216.
by 10 students that in the fall Brinkman called the enrollment increases a tribute to KU, its faculty and staff.
"Many people look at that as success." Brinkman said, "but each year that happens our budget gets strained a bit more."
He said the current method of financing Board of Regents schools does not easily compensate for increases in enrollment.
KU would have to experience large enrollment increases over three years to prompt an increase in the University's base budget, he said, but the chances of this happening are minimal.
"We've been absorbing 800 to 900 students for which we've received no additions in the budget." he said. "Yes, we have been hurt."
KU has had to open additional sections of some courses this semester to accommodate the enrollment increase.
"We've essentially just spent the budget on enrollment instead of other things." Lineberry said.
The need for additional sections in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has made its budget "tight as a drum," said Robert Lineberry, dean of the college.
Money that would have been spent on equipment or faculty has gone instead to hire additional teaching assistants, he said.
Brinkman said quality already had been hurt in some of the sciences and areas that would require improvements in equipment and laboratory supplies.
"With the kind of funding we get, programs with high costs for high quality are going to suffer." Brinkman said.
Research and graduate programs also may not be enhanced this year, he said, because of the strain being placed on the budget.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said in a prepared statement. "Increased enrollments place great pressure on the University's ability to continue to respond to student needs without a concomitant increase in resources. KU must have the resources needed to maintain its top-quality academic programs."
Brinkman said he anticipated additional problems in the next four or five years as this larger class of students worked its way through the University.

Football team loses four to ineligibility
Four of the six players that Kansas head football coach Bob Valesente held from practice for academic reasons were declared academically ineligible yesterday because they did not meet National Collegiate Athletic Association standards.
Senior linebacker Darnell Williams, senior lineman Brian Howard, junior quarterback Roby Santos and junior defensive back Derek Berry were declared ineligible for the season.
The status of Berry's brother, Tony, won't be decided until next week, the Kansas sports information department said.
The sixth player suspended by Valesen, offensive lineman Steve Nave, cleared up his academic questions and is back with the team.
"I've said quite a bit about the academic situation," Valese said yesterday. "I'm sorry they didn't make it. We were really pulling for them, but it didn't work out. Now we
have to concentrate on football and get ready for North Carolina."
The ineligibilities have forced Valesente to rearrange his depth chart. Howard was originally listed as first team right guard. Nave, who was switched from defensive tackle, now is listed first at right guard.
Santos, who redshirted last season after transferring from Fresston City Junior College in Fresno, Calif., was expected to back up first-string quarterback Mike Orth, senior. Now Tom Quick, a senior who was a reserve behind former Kansas quarterback Mike Norseth and a reserve wide receiver last season, is listed as Orth's back up.
Quick has completed 8 of 17 passes for 62 yards and one touchdown and has caught 10 passes for 184 yards.
Williams started last year and had 85 tackles, fourth highest on the team. He was listed as the starting left linebacker on the preseason depth chart. Sophomore Rick Clayton has since taken the top spot at left linebacker.
