Public airs views on S. African rule
Their styles were different but their messages were the same: KU students and faculty are concerned about the situation in South Africa.
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.
By Tim Hrenchir
The committee heard statements from eight groups and individuals. The hearings continue tonight with nine speakers scheduled to present their views.

The South African government follows a policy of apartheid, which is legalized racial segregation.
Chris Bunker, Shawnee 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 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.

Business
Continued from p. 12
He said the amount of time spent with his business had hurt his education. He would have rather earned a degree in accounting than in his major, economics.
"By working I sacrificed my business degree," he said. "They don't really teach real estate."
"Why not do it now," he said, talking in his cubicle at the car dealership. "I would not call it impatient. I would call it optimistic."
"I figure I can burn the candle at two or three different ends," Holmes said.
Holmes said he didn't think it was greed that motivated him.
"It does sacrifice a lot of time," he said. "This is not the life for everybody. I've had my share of fun, though."
What Laham also has found out about the world of business is that it takes away some of his social life.
Holmes spends 20 hours a week at his business and 50 hours a week selling cars.
Laham said, despite his early success, there still were times when he was short on cash because most of his money was invested in different deals.
Holmes, who has a black belt, shakes hands and talks with the confidence and congeniality of a car salesman. That's because when he's not running his club, Holmes is working at Steve Noller Motors selling cars
Laham said that although he might seem money hungry to some people, he worked more because of the challenge than the money.
Holmes, who is working on his master's degree in business, owns the University of Kansas Taekwondo Club, which offers classes in the Korean martial art.
"I've taken my losses," he said. "My parents have been there when I've needed them."
Laham also dedicates some of his available time to an organization called the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs. He is one of three co-founders of ACE which provides students who want to run their own businessses with ideas and advice.
Laham, who will graduate in May, wants to continue in partnerships after he leaves KU, working mostly in commercial real estate.
Another co-founder is Bobby Holmes, Salina graduate student.
"I'm not a greedy person," he said. "In all my financial dealings I'm not after what is best for me. I go for what is fairest."
Holmes does the marketing, advertising and also teaches class along with two employees.
Holmes, who will graduate in December, got started in the Taekwondo club as a freshman. His need to be involved in something led to his taking over the club from one of his fraternity brothers in the fall of 1982.
Holmes said he probably would work for a corporation once he received his degree because he wanted experience in business.
"I want to be totally self-supporting and totally self-sufficient by 40 years of age," he said.
He wants eventually to help
other people with his money, in much the way he is helping people by being involved in ACE.
James Hicks, Topeka graduate student, is the third co-founder of ACE. Hicks operates the Like New Construction company with his brother, Patrick, who is also a student.
Hicks is working on his master's degree in business, but said he learned as much from owning his own company as he did in school.
"Business school teaches you how to work for someone else."
said. "I never felt a strong ad to be like everyone else."
Hicks company remodels houses in the Lawrence area. Hicks, who looks much like a businessman, said his company hired contractors to do the actual work on the houses.
Hicks likes the challenge of owning his own business.
"If you do it yourself," he said,
"you're absolutely responsible."
While Hicks is just starting out in his business ventures, two KU students are putting their plans on hold for awhile.
Beth Kasher, Omaha, Neb., junior, is co-owner of P.K. Popper, which sells flavored popcorn and frozen yogurt. Kasher and her partner Kelly Parks, Omaha, Neb., junior, announced just before their one year anniversary on Feb. 5, that they were going to sell their business.
Kasher said they had to sell the store, 6 E. Ninth St., because Parks was an occupational therapy major and hoped to work as an intern on the East or West coast this year.
