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 wrongest 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.

Mountain bikes challenge tough trails
By Grant W. Butler
Weather that would keep most bicycles off the road provides a test of strength and endurance for mountain bikes.
They know no bounds.
Rocky paths and steep hills are no longer fearsome sights that spell havoc for a common road bike. They are an inviting challenge for mountain bikers.
Timeout
Mountain bikes are shorter than road bikes, so the rider has a lower center of gravity and better balance for maneuvering the twists and turns of a hilly path.
The tires are up to two inches wider than a road bike. They provide the necessary traction for plowing through snow and mud, instead of the speed and lightness offered by on-road bicycle tires.
The heavier frames of mountain bikes make them better suited than road bikes to take the abuse of off-the-road jumps, spills and collisions.
In the past two years, the popularity of biking has grown. On warm days the roads seem cluttered with riders dressed in
their Lycra stretch outfits hunched over the handlebars of speeding bikes.
Road biking may be the most visible sign of the recent growth in biking. But mountain biking, which was first developed 15 years ago in Marin County, Calif., is claiming a large share of the American cycling market.
"I would say it's gotten to the point where they're 55 percent of our total bike sales," said Chuck Adams, assistant manager of Sunflower, 804 Massachusetts St. "That's a tremendous increase from five to ten percent in 1983."
Rick Stein, manager of Rick's Bike Shop, 1033 Vermont St., agreed that sales were increasing.
"It's a growing part of the bicycle market," he said. "We've had a doubling of sales. That's probably the highest growth area we have."
Stein said there was a mountain bike for every pocketbook.
A quality mountain bike costs about $270, he said. More expensive versions can cost thousands of dollars.

CHECKERS
Mountain bikes are many things to their riders, such as overgrown toys, means of escaping problems, a good form of exercise, a practical and efficient form of transportation and a test of racing skills and overall character of the rider.
"You can do a lot more than on other bikes because they're not so fragile," said Doug Bradley, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, graduate student and a member of the
