Divestment policy requires companies to follow standards
By Tim Hrenchir Staff writer
The Kansas University Endowment Association is now investigating one company in its investment portfolio that has not complied with the selective divestment policy it adopted early this year, the Endowment Association president said yesterday.
Todd Seymour, the president, said adoption of the policy had been evolving since 1978 but only became official this year.
"This has been in the process for a long, long time," he said.
The policy hadn't been publicized, Seymour said, because it is strictly an internal procedure.
"We sometimes don't realize what people know and what people don't know," he said. "This was one of those things we just assume everybody knows."

Seymour said all but one of the companies the Endowment Association invested in agreed to follow Reagan's proposals and all but two signed the Sullivan Principles.
Seymour said he would not release the name of the company that had not complied with either proposal, but he said its stock represented 0.2 percent of Endowment Association earnings.
If a company does not sign either of the two proposals, Seymour said, Endowment Association staff will find out why, then make a decision whether to divest in the company's stock.
Seymour said that in certain situations, the Endowment Association might continue to hold stock in a company with South African interests that hadn't signed the Sullivan Principles, but such circumstances would be unusual.

Beer sales on Sunday debated
By Abbie Jones
Staff writer
TOPEKA — Call it a boost to the state's liquor image — or just its income — but an amendment to legalize Sunday beer sales was revived this year with only two days remaining in the session.
What has been known this session as the happy hour bill was amended yesterday in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. It was amended to allow the sale of beer at all stores licensed to sell 3.2 percent beer, except liquor stores, after 1 p.m on Sundays.
The bill permits Sunday sales at conventions, concerts, golf courses, marinas, ractetrack, sporting and special events.
John Lamb, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control, stood outside the committee door and shook his head. He had mixed feelings about the changes, he said.
"On the one hand it increases our work load, but I can sympathize with their concerns," Lamb said. "This is
Scoring increases in NCAA tourney
The Associated Press
MISSION — Whether it was the 45-second clock or a change in coaching philosophy, scoring was up significantly in the NCAA basketball tournament this year.
And, perhaps not coincidentally, total attendance surpassed last year's as the most victorious field in history qualified for the Final Four in Dallas.
Jim Van Valkenburg, National Collegiate Athletic Association director of statistics, said the 64 teams involved in 60 regional tournament games, combined to
score 142.7 points a game, an increase of 15.3 points a game over last season.
Van Valkenburg said this season was the first time in six years that tournament averages exceeded regular season ones.
"A lot of coaches were playing zone defenses in the past," he said. "That produces lower
"That makes sense," said Van Valkenburg. "The top teams were in the tournament, but in the last five years, holding the ball was taking over."
Van Valkenburg said the philosophy of the coaches in the 1986 tournament may have made a bigger difference than the time clock.
"This year, we had a lot of new teams in the tournament, and the only way you can score an upset now is to steal the ball, run like hell and overpower a team that way," said Van Valkenburg. "The guys who said there would be no upes because of the time clock have gone into hiding."
Van Valkenburg also said more tournament teams used man-to-man defenses and high-pressure offensive styles that increased scoring.
scoring."
The record for tournament scoring was established in 1970 when games produced 172.6 points or an average of 86.3 points per team.
"You had Jacksonville, Notre Dame, Iowa. ... everybody scoring like crazy," said Van Valkenburg, who recalled players from that era such as Rick Mount, Dan Issel, Artis Glimore, Pete Maravich and Austin Carr.
"Jacksonville beat Iowa 104-103 in one game that year," he said.
College teams combined to
average 138.5 points a game during the regular season, virtually the same as in the 1984-85 season, he said.
NCAA records indicate that the Metro Conference replaced the Big Eight as the top-scoring league during regular season play. Metro teams, which include finalist Louisville, averaged 77.3 points a game while Big Eight teams were second at 76.7.
However, the Big Eight supplanted the Atlantic Coast Conference as the best shooting league, hitting an average of 51.1 percent.
