Lawrence, Kan. AP A plane with an anti apartheid banner flew over the University of Kansas outdoor commencement disrupting the ceremony about five times as 75 protesters carried signs and wore white armbands. The march down Mount Oread to the stadium lasted an hour with 4,000 graduates and faculty present. The demonstrators urged divestment by the KU Endowment Association from South Africa and planned a candlelight vigil at the KUEA office. The class size was about 5,300 with 1,600 last summer and fall. Gov. Carlin spoke, noting Emerson as he left the podium. Seven teaching excellence winners and five distinguished service citations were announced. Four graduates and one non alumnus were cited for lifetime achievements.
