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 laut, 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.
TOPEKA - Call it a booster 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.
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.

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.

Anticipation high for '86-'87 season
By Matt Tidwell
Kansan Magazine writer
The anticipation for next season already is building.
But enjoying as much success next season, even returning as Big Eight champions, will not be easy.
Kansas head coach Larry Brown is faced with replacing three starters and Archie Marshall, who probably would have started.
Still, Brown says finishing 35-4 and going to the Final Four this year will make next year's players even "hungrier" for more success.
New Orleans is the site of next year's Final Four.
"We will be back," Brown said. "Mark (Turgeon) told me after Dallas what a wonderful experience it was for him, and I know Danny well enough that he'll get us back to New Orleans."
Experience may be the best thing going for the 12 returning lettermen. Brown and his staff are hoping a seasoned group of players, and what is shaping up to be a very good recruiting class will give them a chance to improve on this season's success.
Kansas will lose center Greg Dreiling, guard Calvin Thompson and forward Ron Kellogg, three of the greatest players in
the school's history. All are 1,000 point career scorers. The losses are big ones because Built built his offense around those three players and Danny Manning. Now, the offense will have to be reshaped, and the team may have to adopt a totally new game plan to adapt to the new members.
Also lost is forward Archie Marshall, who suffered a serious knee injury in the semifinal game against Duke on March 29. Marshall, the team's No. 1 reserve this season and a solid scorer and rebounder, was playing his best basketball at the end of the season.
The Jayhawks don't have much room to complain about the loss of the three seniors. After all, they return the conference player of the year and Sports Illustrated coverboy Danny Manning.
Manning's talents are well-documented. Brown said Manning was the perfect player to build a new team around.
"I don't think any player can defend and play offence as well as Danny," Brown said. "He's one of the best defensive players I've ever been around. Plus he makes the other players around him better. When you have a great player who sacrifices like he does, it makes coaching a lot easier."
Also returning for Kansas is guard Cedric Hunter, the school's all-time assist leader. Hunter was a second team-all-Big Eight selection by both the Associated Press and United Press International and ran the offense for Brown this season.
Joining Hunter in the backcourt will be Mark Turgeon. Turgeon has strtred in 26 games over three seasons and is known for good ball-handling and court sense. He was limited to a
reserve role this year but could start next season.
Other players scheduled to return are guards Scooter Barry and Altonio Campbell and forwards Rodney Hull, Chris Piper, and Jerry Johnson.
Redshirts Milton Newton, a guard-forward, and Mark Pellock, a center-forward, also will play next year.
Kansas also has been blessed with a good recruiting year so far and already has signed six new
players, including highly regarded Mark Pritchard, a 6-foot-3 guard and 6-10 center Sean Alvarado, a junior college transfer.
Other players who have signed letters of intent include Keith Harris, a 6-6 forward; Robert Coyne, a 6-8 center; and Mark Randall, a 6-9 forward. All three were listed as Street and Smith's honorable mention All-Americans.
Stuart Vance, 10, and Brandon Dabbs, 10, spent the season wiping sweat off the floor during varsity and junior varsity games. They were among the eight boys who were selected as ball boys for KU games.
Ball boys get front row seats
Bv Dawn O'Mallev
I am interested in being a ball boy for the Kansas men's basketball team. I am an avid fan of the Jayhawks and I love basketball. Please let me know if you are interested.
Dear Mr. Newman.
Kansan Magazine writer
Sincerely, Johnny
Each year, youths interested in becoming ball boys for the men's basketball team write similar letters to Chuck Newman, equipment manager for men's sports.
"I get quite a few letters." Newman said. "They usually say why they want to do it. I look for enthusiasm."
Newman then sifts through the mail for those few letters that show excitement and a willingness to work.
Then he is faced with the task of assigning eight lucky applicants to two-year stints with the varsity and junior varsity teams.
This year, Brandon Dabbs, 10,
Trey Hohman, 11, Perry
Lockwood, 13, Patrick Newman,
13, Brian Roberts, 13, James Roberts, 9, Josh Rose, 11, and Stuart Vance, 10, were the ballbows.
Trey Hohman, son of Sherry Hohman, Topeka, is a three-year veteran ball boy for the men's team. His family had held season tickets, and Trey started working as a ball boy when he was in the third grade.
"I decided I wanted to be one after we went to all the games." Trey said. "I watched the ball boys, and it looked like fun. It is fun because I guess it is looking at the players close up."
Kansan Magazine
Trey and his mother commute to the games from their home, and in his three years as a ball boy. Trey has never missed a game — even when it meant driving through snow and ice to Lawrence.
When Trey decided he wanted to a ball boy, he went straight to the top. His mother called and was connected to Newman who hired Trey on the spot.
The ball boys are not paid, but the chance to be close to the game is payment enough. Most of the ball boys have dreams of
someday playing college basketball themselves.
The most visible moments for the ball boys come during the game when they run from the sidelines to wipe sweat off the floor. They also give the officials water and towels.
They arrive about 1½ hours before the start of the game to fill water bottles and get out the game towels.
"It's pretty exciting," said Brian Roberts, of son Van and Alice Roberts, Lawrence. "I get a kick being around the players."
This was Brian's second year as a ball boy for the men's team. Last year, he served as an alternate.
Brian said the players treated him great, and some of the players took time out to talk with the ball boys. Calvin Thompson
"I like Kansas and I am into basketball," he said. "Pat Newman is a friend of mine, and his father is the equipment manager. So I wrote him a letter telling him I was really interested being a ball boy."
