Public airs views on S. African rule
and Lori Polson Staff writers
Their styles were different but their messages were the same: KU students and faculty are concerned about the situation in South Africa.
The committee heard statements from eight groups and individuals. The hearings continue tonight with nine speakers scheduled to present their views.
By Tim Hrenchir
The University Senate Human Relations Committee conducted the first round of public hearings on South Africa last night in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.

The South African government follows a policy of apartheid, which is legalized racial segregation.
Chris Bunker, Shawne third-year law student and president of the KU Committee on South Africa, told the human relations committee that his committee was frustrated with the
lack of communication with the Kansas University Endowment Association
In the past year, some students and faculty members have protested the Endowment Association's ties to companies that do business in South Africa.
"We've sat in, we've protested,
we've educated, we've worked
politically," Bunker said. "At this
point, I don't know what else we can
do.
"This is the kind of issue that really sets people on fire. There is nothing more obvious than apartheid is the worstest thing you've ever seen."

Bunker suggested the University take legal action to prove that the Endowment Association is not a separate entity from the University. Therefore, he said, the Endowment Association would be forced to abide by the wishes of faculty and students

Futons bring Kansas oriental beauty rest
Bv Peqqy Kramer
Kansan Magazine writer
Futon mattresses have brought the orient's method of beauty rest to the Midwest.
Futons, traditional Japanese mattresses, were brought to the United States in the mid-70s by people who studied bioplastics, or the science of living longer by means of proper diet and health.
The futons' popularity blossomed on the east and west coasts in the 70s, but the flexible, cotton mattresses were not introduced in the Midwest until about 1980.
Susie Stoner, co-owner of Blue Heron Futons, 474 Locust St.,
said she thought Blue Heron was the only business that made and sold the mattresses in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri.
Futons, the Japanese word for bedding, have been a popular item in Japan for centuries, she said. Futons are similar to the tatomi mats of Japan, which are made of rice straw and are not as flexible.
"The futons are not faddish, they are the bedding of this generation." Stoner said.
The mattresses are easy to fold in half and carry, Galen Tarman, Stoner's partner, said.
