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.
The committee heard statements from eight groups and individuals. The hearings continue tonight with nine speakers scheduled to present their views.
Public airs views on S. African rule
The South African government follows a policy of apartheid, which is legalized racial segregation.

lack of communication with the Kansas University Endowment Association.
"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."
In the past year, some students and faculty members have protested the Endowment Association's ties to companies that do business in South Africa.
"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 student*

Careers
George Laham, Wichita senior and owner of Laham Properties, a Lawrence real estate business, stands in front of some condominiums of which he owns several. His Audi 5000 is proof of his success as a student entrepreneur.
Students turn a profit in business
By Frank Ybarra
Kansan Magazine writer
For some students, frying hamburgers or working the late shift at Watson library isn't enough.
George Laham, Wichita senior, is one of those students. Soft spoken, yet confident, Laham is the owner of Laham Properties, a Lawrence real estate business.
Laham said he had taken a different approach to college from most students.
"Basically my attitude was in four years I wanted more than my degree," he said.
Laham's proofs of success are his middle-class looking condo and his upper-class looking Audi 5000 car.
Laham, who is 22 years-old, said he wasn't only interested in making money. Through his involvement in partnerships he has found another way to motivate himself.
"I enjoy making other people money," he said. "I just love to put deals together."
In 1985, Laham said, he sold about $850,000 worth of real estate through his partnerships.
"I had a good year," Laham
said with slight laugh in his voice.
Laham got his start in 1982 during Christmas break his freshman year when he decided he wanted to earn more money than the average college student.
Laham passed the state licensing test to sell real estate. That summer, despite high interest rates and a weak market, he sold $400,000 worth of property while working for his parents' real estate firm in Wichita.
After working for his parents for the next two years, Laham earned his real estate broker's license which allowed him to sell real estate in Wichita under his own company's name.
The next fall, Laham started working as a real estate broker in Lawrence while attending classes at KU.
Among the deals Laham is involved in now is a company called American Vidtronics. The company owns video games in grocery stores in Lawrence and two KU fraternities.
Laham and Scott Flanders, Lawrence junior, are partners in the company. Laham handles all the marketing and business aspects while Flanders does the repair and maintenance.
"If I can do it with a little time and a little money," Laham said, "I'll do it."
See Business, p. 14, col. 1
Besides working with business partners, Laham employs an accountant and a lawyer.
He said he spent 70 hours a week during the summer running his businesses and 30 hours a week during the school year.
