Prison faces KU Iranians who protest
By JOHN FULLER
Approximately half the Iranian students at the University of Kaansas have made a decision that could lead to official harassment or imprisonment if they return to their homeland.
The 60 students are members of the Iranian Students Association (I.S.A.), a worldwide confederation of Iranian students that actively protests the policies of the Shah of Iran.
According to members of the LS.A., Article 60, Section 1 of the Penal Code of Iran provides a three- to 16-year prison sentence for being an opponent or association which, in its policy or belief, is against the Iranian Constitutional Monarchy." The law also applies to any person who is a member of such a group even if the person or association is outside
The official position of the L.S.A. is that the Shah's regiment is "brutal and repressive," and they are working to replace it with a democratic state. Thus, by definition, the L.S.A. has been outlawed and its members are l. the liable to criminal prosecution.
Muhammad Reza, Tehran senior, has said the law wasn't strictly enforced because of the large number of students involved in the LS A.
"Almost all of the students abroad come from middle-class or well-to-do families," Reza said. "It would look very bad for great numbers of sons and daughters from those families to be put in jail. It could inflame the fear that already bubbling beneath the surface."
Reza said that I.S.A. chapters were kept under surveillance by SAVAK, the Sha'i's commander.
I. S.A. members at KU said the threat of retaliation wasn't important to them because they had made up their minds to fight the Shuh.
"SAVAK has tried in the past to destroy the LSA, and we discovered a SAVAK agent here at KU two years ago," Reza said.
"Our purpose is to put public pressure on "The Shah's regime and to inform the people of the United States of the situation in Iran," Manouchehr, Tehran, Iran, senior, said. "We also try to make militarist people aware that the nationalists and interestis' are supporting the resume."
Manouchehr said, however, that the I.S.A. made it clear that they weren't blaming the American people because the curry was too thick for them; they were victims of the same interests.
Manouchehr pointed out that since the I.S.A.'s main purpose was to enlighten people about the Iranian political situation, the Shah has been accused of violence outside of Iran in its campaign against the Shah. Its activities on college campuses include handing out informational leaflets, collecting signatures on petitions and sponsoring rallies and demonstrations.

SenEx plans responses to possible funding cuts
By SHERI BALDWIN
Administrators are exploring the problems that would face the University of Kansas if budget proposals for fiscal 1977 aren't approved by the Kansas legislature.
According to Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for business affairs, KU usually submits requests for 12 to 15 new programs in the yearly budget.
In a closed会议 of SenEx Friday, De Shanel, executive vice chancellor, and Ron Calgaard, vice chancellor for academic affairs, discussed probable responses if budget cuts were made on proposals for new programs at KU. according to Shanel.
He said the University was allowed to ask for a percentage increase on "hase" budget figures in addition to funds for new programs.
Tasheff said SenEx discussed with Shankel and Calgaard the most effective way to successfully obtain funds on both levels, should proposals be made by James
"They just tried to outline for us what sort of timely considerations we would need to make," Tedde Tasheff, SenEx member, said vestdavar.
W. Bibb, director of the state budget, to cut the funding requests.
Funds of $250,734 for library development are among the most important of new libraries.
If obtained, the funds would be used to extend library hours for students and staff personnel and to purchase more books and periodicals, he said.
The KU budget asks for $133,123 for the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center in Hutchinson to replace funds that in the past were used for training. The Commission on Criminal Administration.
A request of $118,788, if granted, would allow Buildings and Grounds personnel to service the West Campus area, Nitcher said.
Nitcher said the commission had in the past received money from a federal grant and allocated some of those funds to the training center. Notified that this would no longer be feasible, KU officials are asking for funds from the state, he said.
"There are areas of the campus that we can't service at present with 48-hour per week."
The funds would also be used for electricians, plumbers and craftsmen who work in the hundreds and nights at the university, he said.
Nitcher mentioned funding for several other projects, including additional support for women's intercollegiate athletics, projects for the State Biological Survey of Kansas, the purchase of television equipment for the School of Journalism and a graduate student with some college credits to continue work towards a degree.
SenEx also finalized revisions of guidelines for the "Selection, Appointment and Tenure of Vice Chancellors, Deans and Chairpersons."
Taiseff said that in the past, the actual officials were for selecting such officials had been vague.
"Never before have faculty and students
have a document detailing the procedures," she
Defeat, fires spoil homecoming
Shankel had submitted the document to ExxEs for its suggested revisions, Tashseff 89.
"We would hope that the provisions we've suggested would be accepted," she said.
Last week's otherwise successful homecoming festivities at the University of Kansas were marred only by the Jayhawks' loss to Oklahoma State and a spree of 196.
An old-fashioned pep rally in front of Strong Hall at t.p.14. Friday attracted about 1,500 people and got the weekend off to a spirited start. Coach Bud Moore and football players Terry Beeson, Mike Butler and Brian Kroenig played. The marching Jawhawk Band plays some rousing fight songs and the pompon squad led the crowd in the Rock Chalk chant.
Saturday was cool and sunny; a perfect day for football and a crowd of 4,480 was made.
The halftime activities at the game featured the marching bands from both universities. During the Marching Band, 600 blue balloons were released into the air.
The homecoming display of the Triangle fraternity and the Alpha Pi sorority was burned to the ground around five a.m. on Sunday, February 24, "Hawk Revere," was located in front of the Triangle house, 1144 W. 11th St., and had earlier been named the winner of the three dimensional class in the homecoming display. The original display was estimated at about $300.
Arsonists reportedly also burned part of a display early Sunday sponsored by the Chi Omega sorority and the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
The display, "The Midnight Ride of Jade Revere," wasn't completely destroyed by the rain.
Women's strike called ridiculous
NOW is encouraging women not to work in or out of the home, for pay or as voluntarily employed. Yet teaching women not to spend money or 'support in any other way those traditional institutions which keep women in their 'place' economically, professionally and culturally.

"Ludicrous" was the word used by two University of Kansas women to describe their thoughts about becoming involved in college. The National Organization for Women (NOW),
It appears there won't be much support from the strike, from organizations or from industry.

JoAnne Rome, member of the steering committee of the Women's Coalition, said Friday, "Since I don't hold a conventional job, and my work is women's work, which we all know is never done, a strike would be indictured."
The KU chapter of NOW isn't participating in the strike. D. M. Eagle, president of the organization, declined to comment.
The strike is named "Alice Doesn't Day"
after the movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here"
Janet Sharistanian, head of the Studies department, said she doubted that the university was capable of doing that.
She said that she thought a strike by all women would be a good show of solidarity, and that it might demonstrate the importance of women.
"It would simply look ludicrous," she said.
She said she thought that very few professors missed classes for any reason
unless they thought their absence would
result in what they thought they
thought need, changing.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor,
said a woman employee couldn't be fired for
striking, and if she were, she'd have
recourse through the normal appeal
procedures. He said he thought the
University had made enough progress in
in female employment procedures to erase
the necessity of a strike.
"I think women have come into their own with too much demonstration, and in some ways have made it hard on themselves," she said.
Florence Doores, cashier and evening supervisor at Wescoe Terrace, said, "They need us up here too much to feed the kids. I know the students will still eat.
She said she thought the day could be used to make people aware of women's problems. To achieve this, she said she planned to make a button which said "I'm on strike," and would use this as an entrance into conversation.
"I'd hope if people feel they have to have day off, that would arrange to take a day off, that would arrange to take a day off."
Patt Lawson, secretary in the Western Civilization office, said the people she worked with were already aware of her plans. She didn't take a time she thought she could take off.
Most women said their presence at their jobs was necessary or that the stroke would have been worse.
"In my head I'm on strike," she said. "Joyce Dewer, Minister Facilitator for Women's Rights, told me myself to be in a position of working for women and minorities, and I'll be here."
"In my head I'm on strike," she said.
Lorna Grunz, assistant dean of women and adviser to the Commission on the Status of Women, said she didn't think the Commission was involved in the strike. Linda Weippert, president of the Commission, said she didn't know if the organization was doing anything about it.
Many women were not aware a strike had been called.
"We didn't know if anyone would take notice of what we would do," she said.
Rome said that there was much divisiveness and lack of mutual support among the factions.
"we do support the concept of the strike," she said, "but I feel it like it's so totally NOW, which is so middle-class and elitist it has nothing to do with where Women's Coalition is at. And where we're at is where all women are at."
Med Center suit dismissal to be appealed by plaintiffs
The dismissal of a $9 million lawsuit against the KU Medical Center will be appealed "as soon as possible," according to Thomas A. Harvill, attorney for the plaintiff.
The plaintiffs, Robert Reis, chief of the cardiothoracic unit, and Hammer Hannah, an associate in the cardiothoracic unit, had sought a declaratory judgment against the Med Center for alleged contractual violations.
The lawsuit was dismissed last Tuesday by the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Ky.
Hamill cited four specific violations yesterday: a lack of nurse services, poor operating conditions, a lack of supplies and a lack of necessary support facilities.
"The fundamental issue," Reis said yesterday, "is that we've been denied our right to employment without any semblance of due process."
Recipients of the medallion were Dolph C. Simons Sr., editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World; Odd Williams, president of the Douglas County State Bank and Williams Inc.; Clytice W. Nichols, wife of former KU chancellor Raymond Nichols
Reis said that the contractual arrangement was only one consideration and that there were "fundamental constitutional issues involved." He wouldn't elaborate.
The original complaint, filed May 20, requested a declaratory judgment on the specific nature of Reis' contractual relationship with the Med Center and a judgment on whether specific forms of that contract were met.
The ceremonies were attended by about 600 KU graduates and fans including 1560
which was reported about 1 a.m. Sunday,
was apparently started by matches that
were not in the program.
A third contention of the law suit was that William Rieke, former executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, and Dr. Loren Humprey, chairman of the surgery department, had "intentionally interfered with the Med Center." Hamill said.

About a half hour later the same night an arsonist tried to ignite the display in front of the Sigma Kappa sorority by throwing a car object from a moving car, the police said.
the decision will be appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The arsons and attempted arson are still under investigation, the police said.
Hamprey could not be reached for comment.
At ceremonies in the Kansas Union before the game, eight KU alumni were honored as the first recipients of the Fred Ellsworth Service Medallions. The medallions are the University's highest award for "unique and significant service."
"Yankee Doodle Jayhawk," the entry of Alpha Delta Pi soriity and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, took first place in the moving parts category over three competitors.
Besides the ill-fated "Hawk Revere," other winners in the homecoming contest were "Yankee Doodle Jayhawk" and "In Jahwys We Trust."
"In Jayhawks We Trust" won first prize
in the two-dimensional category. It was created by Kappa Alpha Theta and the Alba Alpha Fiatterni family.
