President Reagan Requests Campus Burial Site

President Reagan has requested that Stanford approve an on-campus burial site for him and his wife, The Stanford Daily reported.

If Stanford approves the plan, Reagan would be buried in a crypt next to Stanford's Reagan Library. Architectural plans submitted with Reagan's request call for a marble structure similar to the Stanford family mausoleum, according to The Daily.

In a letter to Stanford's trustees, Reagan stated that he wants to be buried at the school because "I have a great many friends there and would feel very much at home."

The idea of a grave site at Stanford was suggested to Reagan by his old friend and political adviser W. Glenn Cambell, the director of Hoover Institution, a right-leaning think tank at Stanford.

Stanford President Donald Kennedy said he has not yet decided whether to honor Reagan's request.

"On the one hand, it would be a great honor to have a former president buried at Stanford. But then again, I'm not sure the permanent presence of Ronald Reagan on campus is the best thing for the university's image," he said. OBERLIN

President Will Recommend Divestment Next Month

Oberlin President S. Frederick Starr said that, in a meeting with the Rev. Leon Sullivan this month, he was surprised by the minister's inconclusiveness over how well the Sullivan Principles work, but he said he will nonetheless recommend that his school divest at the next meeting of Oberlin's trustees.

Starr will recommend to the trustees next month that Oberlin divest of its holdings in companies that do business in South Africa, The Oberlin Review reported.

Oberlin has used the Sullivan Principles, which gauge to what degree a company is helping to bring about racial equality in South Africa, in formulating its investment policy.

Starr said he was surprised by Sullivan's failure to state how effective the Sullivan Principles are. "Frankly, I anticipated that he would have reached a more decisive conclusion by this point," he told The Review, a weekly student newspaper.

"It is clear that we will not receive guidance from this quarter by the May Executive Board meeting," Starr said of Sullivan.

Starr stated in a letter that next month he will present a proposal that calls for a "phased and total divestment that will maximize the impact of our actions while meeting our fiscal responsibilities." COLUMBIA
