Public airs views on S. African rule
By Tim Hrenchir and Lori Polson
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.
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.

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
“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.

The Cinelli family bought the estate at the beginning of the 20th century from the Spannnochi family who owned it from the 12th to the 19th century. The Spannnochia aristocracy abandoned the villa at the time Italy became a republic.
Architects aren't the only students who have used the villa to put their talents to practical use. Students of dance and literature have joined the ranks of traveling artisans.
A Lawrence dance group, made up of University Dance Company members and other KU students, performed modern dance routines in Spannocchia and its neighboring towns in the summer of 1984 through the dance program sponsored by Joan Stone, wife of Harris Stone.
Cindy Stone, Dodge City senior and one of the dancers who traveled to the villa, said she and the other dancers often performed on hills or by statues in the center of town while the townspeople looked on.
"Half the town would watch us," she said. "People would peer at us. People always wanted to know more."
The 12 dancers, called 4-5-6 Speed-up and Friends, visited such towns as Soviicille, Rapolano Serre, Chiusdino, San Galgano Siena and Rome.

Although the Italian citizens spoke no English, the communication was spurred by the dance, she said.
"The communication gap was lost because we were expressing ourselves through movement," she said. "For those people to see a dance in the middle of their town is like a communication line between us and dance and America."
Joan Stone, adjunct assistant professor of dance, said the dancers rehearsed in a medieval building next to the villa while swallows flew in the windows.
"I think it was a maturing experience to bring the most contemporary modern dance to these medieval and Renaissance settings," she said. "Performance experience for dancers is hard to be by."
Susan Noakes, associate professor of French and Italian, said the literature program she coordinated in Spannocchia was designed to teach the history of two classic novels.
Noakes said the week-long program, which took place two years ago, focused on Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Boccaccio's "Decameron."
The villa also served as a liieray playground.
"We try to understand how in the same period, two such different works can be produced," she said. "This is an introduction to give people background so when they open these books they don't feel disoriented."
Participants visit places mentioned in the books and discuss the region's history. Noakes said the program was made for adults and students who love literature.
"You have to go into training," she said. "Reading the 'Divine Comedy', can be like running a marathon."
This summer Noakes plans to return to Spannocchia to study and tour Tuscan streets and a medieval abbey. But this summer she can offer students one credit hour for staying 10 days and up to three credit hours for staying longer.
Noakes said she hoped to tighten the link between the architecture, dance and literature programs at the villa.
She had provided Harris Stone with history on neighboring cities, as well as collaborated with Joan Stone on an Italian dance performance and an interpretation of one of Dante's poems.
"The most exciting thing about Spannocchia is the chance for interdisciplinary study," she said.
