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."
Selective divestment is a policy in which investors demand that companies in their investment portfolio

Seymour said all but one of the companies the Endowment Association invested in agreed to follow suit. The two signed the Sullivan Principles.

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 he would not release the name of the company that had not complied with either proposal, but his employer told him that the name of Endowment Association earnings.
Seymour said that in certain situations, the Endowment Association might continue to hold stock in a company with South African industry interests. But the Sullivan Principles, but such circumstances would be unusual.

Beer sales on Sunday debated
TOPEKA — Call it a boost to the state's liqueur image — or just its income — but *en* 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, ractracks, sporting and special events.
"On the one hand it increases our work load, but I can sympathize with their concerns." Lamb said. "This is

Flattops and red uniforms tie the present to the past
By Frank Ybarra
Kansan Magazine writer
The events and people surrounding the success of this year's basketball team were just part of a long tradition of successful basketball at Kansas.
As the years go by, fans surely will have memories of the parades, flattop haircuts and red uniforms. Just as the fans today remember some unique moments from the past.
The Kansas City Times of Dec. 3, 1952, recounts a story about a game between Kansas and Missouri at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo. The game, for the Big Seven preseason tournament championship, was played in front of a sellout crowd.
With three minutes remaining, KU All-America Clyde Lovellette was attempting a shot when Missouri guard Winfred Wilfong bumped into him and fell to the court.
As the 6-foot-9, 230-pound Lovellette turned from the basket, he placed his right foot on Wilfong's stomach and then walked away. As the official ejected Lovelette, the Missouri bench cleared.
There was no fight, but the crowd booed for the last three
After the game, Oklahoma Coach Bruce Drake was preparing to present the tournament trophy to the Jayhawks, but the boos continued. Reaves Peters, executive secretary of the Big Seven, stepped to the microphone.
minutes of the game which Kansas won 75-65.
"I hope everyone here will remember where you are." Peters said. "This is America, not Russia."
"I know no one regrets this more than Clyde," he said. "If you could be as close to the boy as I am now, you could see the tears streaming down his face."
Ater Drake picked a verse from the Bible, and the Missouri coach said he was not uspt with Lovelette, the team shook hands and Lovelette hugged Willow.

Lovellette took the time to personally answer each letter, usually with an autographed copy of the Kansas basketball
Despite the incident, Lovelette was popular countrywide in his years with the Jayhawks. The Lawrence Daily Journal-World ran a story Jan. 8, 1952, about the huge amount of fan mail Lovellette was receiving
But Peters comments did nothing to stop the boos, so Drake tried to calm the crowd.
brochure.
There were so many letters sent to Lovelette's house that the post office was delivering them even if they carried only the address, "Clyde Lovelette, Lawrence, Kansas." One letter was delivered with the address, "The best basketball player in the nation, Lawrence."
Lovellette's popularity carried into other areas as well. An article in the Feb. 4, 1952, issue of the University Daily Kansas describes Lovellette's radio show on WREN radio in Topeka. The show was called Hillbilly Clyde Lovellette and advertised itself as featuring the biggest man in radio.
Fans who stood in line this year for tickets can sympathize with the KU fans of 1952. The Topeka Daily Capitol on March 7 of that year ran an article about hundreds of KU fans who stood outside Hoch Auditorium for a chance to see KU play Kansas State on television.
A television station in Kansas City brought the game to campus, and the students waited four hours to get inside.
KU fans can also relate to the celebrations of the fans who were described in a March 27, 1952, article in the Kansas City Star. KU See Tynn, p. 20
