Committee on South Africa explains investment stand
The KU Committee on South Africa presented information to about 25 persons last night in support of its stand on American investments in South Africa.
According to material introduced at the meeting, black South Africans are not allowed to vote, are ineligible for many jobs that are reserved for whites and must carry a passport at all times or be subject to arrest.
Tony Hunter, a member of the Committee on South Africa, said, "Currently, the United States has $1.8 billion invested in corporations and banks in South Africa.
Recent United Nations Assembly reports indicated that the United States, Britain and France are the largest investors in South Africa.
"if we were not in South Africa, the reine would crumble," he said.
At last night's meeting committee members called for the divestiture of U.S. money in the spartan city of Kansas, a statewide commission members said that the Kansas University Endowment Association, which invests in the university, will only to "trow on the regime in South Africa."
In recent statements concerning its investment policies, the Endowment Association said that U.S. investments could bring about a positive change in South Africa by promoting equality for South African blacks.
However, Ed Dutton, associate professor of social welfare and a member of the committee, said the Endowment Association's investments in South Africa have funded the University to be funded partially by riding on the backs of applause."
Students for Libertarian Society plan rally to protest draft revival
By TOM ZIND Staff Reporter
Gen. Alexander M. Haig Jr., former allied commander in Europe, will give a A. V. Aickers Sr. Memorial Lecture at Saturday, April 18, at the University of Kansas.
A member of Students for a Libertarian society has announced tentative plans for a major reform program.
Haig to speak at KU April 26
Haig, who has since served as supreme allied commander since December 1974, will speak on "NATO and our Future security" during Ruudruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
While serving as deputy assistant to former president Nixon, Haig made 14 trips to southeast Asia to help negotiate the peace deal and the return of U.S. prisoners of war.
The lecture will be free and open to the public.
Kansas May 1. That date has been set by the society's national organization for a concerted campaign throughout the country against a return to the draft.
Detre Coltman, Bonner Springs senior, the group member, said yesterday that speakers and musicians probably would be at the rally.
Students for a Libertarian Society, a national student organization, has initiated a petition drive to stop legislation now that would rewrite the draft.
"I'd like to get a few speakers and make it a show of resistance to the draft," she said.
The group says it is opposed to the draft because it is a violation of individual freedom.
Colgan said she would check with the University Events Committee and the KU Police to clear plans for the rally, which she said probably would be in front of Strong
On Thursday, April 26 students who are interested in Medicine and the paramedical sciences will have an opportunity to view the Cancer Research and Patient Care facilities at the University of Kansas Medical Center and to discuss their own career possibilities with several of the research and clinical faculty at the Medical Center. A chartered bus will pick up the parachute from the campus in the late morning and will return them to the campus in the late afternoon. There will be no charge for the transportation.
Margaret Berlin, student body president, reversed an earlier opinion and decided to postpone the Student Senate budget hearings until next week.
Several senators expressed concern during Tuesday's budget hearings that meetings this week would interfere with the observance of religious holidays.
Cancer Careers Day
Yesterday marked the beginning of the Jewish holiday, Passover, and several senators said they had to attend religious services.
Students who would like to participate in this program should call Airline Blenner, 864-4021. A detailed itinerary is available in the program's brochure.
“IT WAS A CHANGE ofcircumstances,” she said. “I'm trying to be sensitive to the decision of the Senate; 31-31 was a close vote.”
The vote on recessing the hearings until next week was tied, 31-31, and George Gomez, student body vice president of the meetings would continue tonight.
Budget hearing delayed until after Jewish holiday
However, she said she found out yesterday that the budget did not have to be in until April 20, giving the Senate a chance of time to consider the budget request.
Mark Bernstein, holdover senator, initiated a process that led to Berlin's decision.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, told Bernstein at a meeting of the University Senate executive committee yesterday that he had issued a statement concerning meetings on religious holidays.
Berlin said her main objection to postponing the hearings until next week was that she thought the budget had to be in the chancellor's office on April 15.
Yesterday morning he filed a complaint with the Affirmative Action office,
Berlin said the Senate did not legally have to postpone the hearings.
"MARGARET HAS been railroading things through and I'm going to derail her train," he said.
Berlin said the budget hearings probably would continue Tuesday night,
"I asked the University to be sensitive to religious holidays and to avoid scheduling meetings on those holidays," he said. "We don't have something that says they can't hold a meeting, we just ask that they avoid having a meeting."

Steve Ruddick, legal services attorney, said he and two law students could advise students on any legal matter as long as it did not lead to litigation.
The Legal Services office will open its doors to clients today at noon in 212 Carruthers.
"Someone can come to see us if they have received a summons," he said. "But we were not summoned."
The legal services program provides KU students with pre-paid legal advice. Courtroom representation will not be provided for at least six months, Ruddick said.
KU Legal Services office to open today for business
Ruddick said his office would be able to negotiate with another attorney if a student was sued. Then, he said, he might refer the student to a private lawyer.

"We will not send them to a particular lawyer," he said. "We'll just refer them to us."
Saturday, April 14, 3:30 and 9:30
He said the office also would be able to draft legal documents, except those concerned with estate planning. It also can incorporate student groups that are nonprofit, and there will be a notary public in the office.

The legal services can only serve KU students, and it cannot serve members of a student's family or the faculty. As legal services attorney, Ruddick cannot represent one student against another student, or a student against the University.
Ruddick has already seen about 15 clients since he moved into his office last month, he said. So far there has been a diversity of questions and legal problems. He said that he had expected to deal with a lot of landlord-tenant problems.
Ruddick said that if students wanted legal advice they should call the office and make an appointment. They come to the office, they should have their KU identification cards with them. Ruddick said he would not give advice over the phone.
Admission $1.50
Regular office hours will start next week and will be: Monday: 1:30 p.m; to 4:30 p.m; Tuesday: 6:30 p.m; to 9 p.m. in the morning, Friday: 9:30 p.m; to 1:4 p.m on Friday; 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
