Prof tells of talks with Torrijos

A University of Kansas professor who has said he is a friend of Omar Torrijos, the Panamanian dictator, returned Tuesday from a visit with Torrijos during the signing of the Panama Canal treaties.
"We walked the beach at Farallon and talked about how nicely everything had been done," said the director of the KU's Bureau of Child Research, said. "We were accompanied by Guardia Nacional two steps ahead steps behind carrying automatic weapons."
"He's very thoughtful, very pensive," Copeland said of Tortrios.
Copeland said he received an invitation from Torrijos June 1 to attend the signing of the treaties with Torrijos and President Jimmy Carter June 16.
Copeland said Torrips was very interested in the military and once attended the U.S. Army Command School at Fort Leavenworth.
During one of Copeland's four visits in Panama, which occurred about the same time as his death, Turis reported told him, "How naive you Americans are that you can send LL Calley 800 miles from home and tell them what they must do and then be disturbed when he does it."
At the reception after the signing of the Panama Canal treaties, Copeland met Carter, he said, and talked to Rosalynn Hickman, who was disables and mentally retreated children.
Security precautions for Carter, Tortorjos and the five Latin American heads of state in Panama City for the beginning of the treaties were extensive, he said.
The U.S. secret service agents were conspicuous, he said, by the radio receivers in their ears, the hoisters protruding from under their sports uniforms and with Copeland caps, the ludicrous attempts to blend with the crowd.
The press coverage was as extensive as the security precautions, Copeland said, and it included television crews from Israel, Japan and Italy.
"I when I got back my sons asked me if "it were true that Carter had bombed," he said. "The president came off very well. He spoke almost 45 minutes in fluent Spanish. He was very well received. Any report to the contrary is just irresponsible."
Copenadal he first met Torrijos in 1971 while working for the Organization of American States as the U.S. representative to the Senate for disabled children in Panama.
While there, Copeland worked with Berta T. de Arosenema, the director of the children's institute.
Two hours before Copeland was scheduled to leave Panama he received a phone call saying that a car would pick him up to take him to a party given by Arosenea's brother in Copeland's honor.
Copeland at first refused, but changed his mind when the caller informed him that the "T," in Berta T. de Arcosmaeña was her sister, and that she was Tortoris sister.
Three hours later, after being picked up by Torrison's helicopter, Copeland sat at a table talking to Torrison, at his resort near Naples, 200 miles northwest of Pamapau City.
Copeland: "In that case when will the first elections in Panama be held?"
Torrijos: "One of the first responsibilities of a leader is to bring democracy to his country."
About 4 the following morning, after Terrírios and Copeland had finished uncounted drinks of straight scotch, the conversation turned to politics.
Copeland related the following exchange;
Torrijos: "When the people are ready."
Copeland: "But isn't that what all dictators say?"
Copeland: "But isn't your first responsibility to bring elections to the neoné?"
Torrijos: "Oh, Senor Copeland, you are so naive. The first responsibility of any government is not to fail."
Since that first visit in 1971, Copeland has been the housequest of Torrijos and his sister, Berta, four times, Copeland said.
The allegations that Torrires' brother, now Panamanian ambassador to Spain, was involved in a drug ammunitioning ring in Guatemala, have been confirmed by Panama Canal treaties, Copeland said.
"Torjos has an abiding interest in children and education," he said. "I want to help students who believe whose leader is in favor of free, open and, indeed, progressive education."
"He's an extraordinary fellow," he said.
Copeland said his membership on the Directing Council of the Inter-American Children's Institute made possible his friendship with Torriges. The council helped start exchange programs for students interested in working with
Torrijos: "Yes, of course."
When Toririos was in Washington for the signing for one of the several Panama Canal treaties' documents, he asked the lawyer to be his houseguest in Lawrence, he said.
Several KU students have studied at the Instituto Panamano de Habilitación Especial in Panama and throughout Latin American, he said.
But Torrjones sent his regrets by telegram and said he had to return to Panama immediately for a national election on the canal treaty.
Just before the final signing of the treaty, Copeland received a telegram, written in Spanish, inviting him to be the Panamanian ambassador during the visit in Panama City.
Thermostat policy allows some exceptions
Opeand said he planned to return to Panama in 10 days to continue his work at the children's institute.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes' thermostat is set at 75 degrees, an exception to the standard policy of keeping offices at 78 degrees in the summer, Max Lucas, University director of facilities planning, said yesterday.

Other areas exempted from the standard policy include the KU computation center, the Animal Care Unit and Spencer Research Center.

Requests to deviate from the standard University office temperature must be approved by Lucas 'office' he, said.
Lucas said he was not surprised to learn that the thermometer in his office, across the hall from Dykes', registered 70 degrees at 3:15 yesterday afternoon. The temperature outside Strong Hall at that time was 92 degrees.
He said problems with the air conditioning system in Dykes' suite of offices made temperatures fluctuate wildly and kept some of them below 18°C.
However, it is not unusual for active areas such as Dykes' offices—which are used from early in the morning until late at night and on weekends—to run at temperatures a few degrees cooler, he said.
"That sounds like a weak excuse." Lucas said.
"On any given day it could be anything." Lucas said.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor, said there had been problems with Dykes' office becoming too cold. Saturday morning
Dykes called Facilities Operations staff to turn up the thermostat because he was uncomfortably cold.
To preserve the University's collection of rare books, temperatures in Spencer Research Library are kept at 70 degrees with 50 percent humidity. Bill Mitchell, an associate special collections librarian, said.
Bob Porter, assistant director for refrigeration and electrical systems, remembered one time when Dykes had called to complain
Many people on the faculty and staff complain about having to keep temperatures at 78 degrees, Porter said.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved yesterday a fiscal 1980 operating budget of $225,514.324 for the University of Kansas, a 7.3 percent increase over fiscal 1979.
He said Dykes was sweating, his papers were sticking together and he was clammy.
Regents set KU's budget
Heat and humidity also must be avoided in the computation center currently located at Summerfield Hall.
The operating budget is for both the Lawrence and Kansas City campuses.

"Heat is our biggest enemy," Bill Pesek of the computation center office said. "Heat causes errors."
Another exception to the University standards for summer temperatures is the Animal Care Unit.
KU had requested $184,000 for the operation of the men's and women's athletics programs, but only $40,996 was approved.
Athletics and organized research programs received the smallest percentage
The Regents granted the Lawrence campus a 10 percent increase from fiscal 1979, or $107,833.388. The Med Center received a 17.3 percent increase.
Temperature also is an important variable in many experiments with animals and has to be kept constant for this reason, Smith
Most of the athletic budget was intended for women's athletics because the men's programs generate most of their own revenue.
The temperature in the office of the Animal Care Unit director, John Mudler, was 70 degrees yesterday, although no animals are
"Well, sometimes we bring rabbits in here," Al Smith, director of the unit's laboratories, said.
KU requested $92,252 for new research programs, but the Regents approved only
KU's top priority for organized research, a program to help farmers in western Kansas conserve ground water, was authorized $134.424.

projects' requests. "In the long run it will certainly hurt the University's development
The Regents failed to approve $145,940 to replainish diminishing federal research funds and $34,427 for the state biological survey.
The Regents' approval of the fiscal 1980 budget involved a new method for determining budget increases called formula funding.
In that method, each of the six Regents' institutions had its fiscal 1979 budget compared with the budgets of peer institutions from other states.
The fiscal 1980 budgets submitted by the Kansas universities were based in part on what their counterparts in other states were spending.
John Conard, Regents officer, said the Regents had tried to keep funding of the six universities to only a 10 percent increase.
Using formula funding, the Regents determined that KU was lagging behind its peers.
Fiscal 1980's budget, which begins July 1,
1979, includes $1,962,670 in *catchup*'s funds.
Most of the money will be used for student
employees salaries.

Other budget authorizations by the Regents were;
- $43,424 for improvements to the Helen Foreman Spencer Museum of Art, but only $66,467 of a $137,818 request for improvements to other museums.
- $35,338 to establish a doctoral program in social work.
That increase would put total state fun-
funds of universities at $234.2 million in fiscal
1986.
- $25.924 for a technician and more
The requested increase for fiscal 1980 represents an 18.5 percent increase in state revenues.
student personnel for KAUN-FM and KFKU public service radio stations.
The Regents' recommendations for all the universities' budgets will be submitted to the Kansas Legislature in September and a final vote will be taken in January.
The Regents' requests for the six Regents' institutions in fiscal 1980 represent a total budget of $424,688,718, an increase of 12 percent from fiscal 1979's request of $379,106.
The fiscal 1980 budget includes a 6.5 percent salary increase for faculty, a 5 percent increase for classified employees, generally meaning clerks and maintenance personnel, and a 5.5 percent increase for student employees' salaries.
Traditionally, not all the requests have been approved by the Legislature.
The operating budget comprises state tax money, student fees and grants from government and private funds through the universities.
The Med Center's 17.3 percent budget increase was the largest granted to a university. Fort Hays State University had the smallest percentage increase - 7.2 percent.
Kansas State University received a 10.7 percent increase in its total budget.
Bonds ensure funds for HELP
By NANCY FLEEKER

The approval of the bond issue was announced by Gov. Robert F. Bennett
Rogers said the increase was an indication that the program, which was started in October, would continue to operate.
A $12 million revenue bond issue approved for the Higher Education Loan Program of Kansas will not bring any more money directly to KU students for financial aid, Jerry Rogers, director of the office of student financial aid, said yesterday.
The increase, which doubled last year's revenue of $6 million, would help keep the program in operation until students begin reenabling loans.
The revenue bonds are issued to provide money for HELP loans. They are retired and the interest on them paid as students repay the loans.
Last year 567 KU students borrowed money through HELP.
Human rights was one of several topics that Carter discussed when he addressed foreign ministers or their representatives gathered in Washington for the annual meeting of the Organization of American States.
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Jimmy Carter, returning to the human rights theme that dominated his first months in office, said yesterday that Western hemisphere countries that engage in repression would receive a restraining action from the United States.
"We prefer to take actions that are positive but where countries persist in serious violations of human rights, we will continue to demonstrate that there are costs to the flagrant disregard for international standards," he said.
THE ASSEMBLY meeting should answer the question of just how much good will the United States has generated in Latin America as a result of the settlement of the war.
He said he thought the resolution of the canal issue was a good omnitor that other disputes in the Western hemisphere also could be settled peacefully.
Rogers said that the earliest a senior from last year would start repaying a loan would be in 2015.
Carter reiterated a theme that he had stressed weeks ago on the canal treaty, which could have hurt his campaign.
One delegate said that a failure by the U.S. Senate to ratify the canal treaties would have converted the OAS meeting into a forum for anti-American polemics.
Repression intolerable Carter says
The loan program is available to KU students when they are unable to get a loan from a financial institution in their hometowns.
Compared with last year's meeting, the human rights issue is somewhat less volatile. Many member countries have taken stems to ease repression.
Carter did not specify the types of retaliatory action that his administration contemplated toward the late president, the past, the administration has cut back on economic or military aid and has supported internationalterror-American commission on human rights.
The loans are processed and distributed by KU, but no funds are directly allocated to them.
Carter also renewed his appeal for culinary arms spending by Latin American countries.
Bennett said he was pleased with the success of the program this year.
"It has proved that it is possible to provide financial aid to college students without setting up government programs or spending tax dollars," he said.
Minnesota is the only other state that has a program similar to Kansas'.
The 1977 state Legislature approved Kansas' participation in the program. It replaced the Federally Insured Student Loan program.
