Divestment policy requires companies to follow standards
By Tim Hrencnur 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."
Selective divestment is a policy in which investors demand that companies in their investment portfolio

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.

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.
Beer sales on Sunday debated
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, racetracks, sporting and special events.
"On the one hand it increases our work load, but I can sympathize with their concerns." Lamb said. "This is not to be so, to be so." Kayes.com
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.

Success attracts good recruits
By Jim Suhr
Kevin Gokumen, Liberal junior, vividly remembers the way he felt after Kansas' dreams of a national collegiate basketball championship were shattered in the heartbreaking 71-67 loss to Duke in Dallas on March 29.

"I was bumming," he said recently. "It was like finding out about Santa Claus for the first time."
In the wake of Kansas' first Final Four appearance since 1974, head coach Larry Brown assured Jayhawk fans that there was a tomorrow for Kansas basketball.
But that was nearly three weeks ago. Now, Gokmen and other Kansas basketball fans look optimistically toward next season
Brown says that Kansas will have one of the top recruiting classes in school history by the end of this recruiting season.
"I want to be in the position where we don't rebuild, we just reload." Brown said. "That's what all great programs in the country do. I think we'll be great next year, too."
Brown says his team's exposure from the national media has helped his recruiting efforts.
He began restocking his arsenal for next season by sign-
in four players during the early signing period in November. The four who already have committed to Kansas are Mark Randall, 6-foot-9 forward from Cherry Creek High in Engelwood, Colo.; Keith Harris, 6-2 swinger from Santa Monica, Calif.; Robert Coyne, 6-8 center from Denver West High; and Jeff Gueldner, 6-4 guard from Charleston, Ill.
Two other players have given verbal commitments to play for Kansas next season and had said they planned to sign their letters of intent yesterday — the first day players could sign such letters under National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
They are Kevin Pritchard, a 6-3 guard from Tulsa, Oka. and Sean Alvarado, a 6-10 center from Hutchinson Community College.
Congress Randall, considered one of the country's best shooting forwards, averaged 27.2 points and 12.7 rebounds a game for Cherry Creek this season.
Randall was selected as a third-tier All-American by two basketball publications and as an All-State player his senior year. He was also one of 24 players named to the McDonald's All-American "Dream Team," and will play in the McDonalds All-America Game tomorrow. Randall has just returned from the
weekend's Capitol Classic tournament in Washington, D.C., where he scored 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
Tom Weston, Cherry Creek assistant basketball coach, said Randall could be considered a protege of Jayhawk sophomore Danny Manning. He said Randall, for a player his size, was an excellent dribber and passer and could run the floor like Manning often does at Kansas.
"When you have two players with those qualities on the same team, you're going to be great," he said.
Harris, who averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 assists a game last season for a Santa Monica team that finished 23-4, is considered one of the best small forwards on the West Coast.
Cliff Hunter, his coach, said Harris had a great combination of quickness and leaping ability and played excellent man-to-man defense.
"He can do everything," Hunter said of Harris, who turns 17 in June and will graduate from high school a year early.
But most of all, Hunter said, Harris loves to pass and would much rather pass than shoot. That's good news for Kansas, where teamwork and unselfishness are key.
"Sometimes his youth shows. But he'll be so good."
The Jayhawks also signed Jeff Gueldner, a guard who averaged 18.3 points, nine rebounds and seven assists a game for Charleston High, which finished 20-7. He was named to the Chicago Sun-Times All-State team his senior year.
Gueldern's forte is shooting.
But his coach, Steve Simons,
says Gueldern is a big guard who
was blessed with excellent court
vision and loves to make the
assist.
"If you take that vision and add his ability to handle and pass the basketball, you have an incredible basketball player." Simons said. "He's going to be even better in college. His best days are ahead of him."
Simons said he Gueldner was an intelligent person both on and off the court. Gueldner had a 4.7 high school grade point average on a scale of 5.0.
Coyne, the last of the early signees, was rated by some scouting services among the top 75 players in the country, but he may have trouble being admitted to Kansas because of his grades and admissions test scores.
Coyne averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds a game last season
