Thousands of Egyptians cheer Sadat
See related story page two
CAIRO (AP)—President Anwar Sadat returned home to a hero's welcome yesterday after opening a new chapter in the fight against terrorism, people in their own capital, "more war."
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians
cheered their president at the airport and
brought him on.
A government spokesman said Sadat's historic visit to Israel had succeeded "100 percent" in preparing for new Geneva peace talks.
"we can say that hostilities of the past 30 years have been ended in 30 hours," the spokesman said according to the official Middle East news agency. It said the spokesman was a member of Sadat's dedication on the trip to Jerusalem.
The news agency quoted him as saying Israel leaders had tried to persuade Sadat to settle differences and sign a peace treaty but Sadat had refused. He said Sadat told them the aim of his efforts was to prepare carefully for reconvening the Geneva conference.
"ISRAELI LEADERS showed understanding and real interest in peace," the author wrote.
Sadat, addressing the Israelis before
eighteen years ago, said: "We've had
enough four years in 30 years."
The Egyptian president had gambled Aba unity, his political future and even his life. The president also
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians, many bussed to Cairo airport specially for the occasion, greeted their returning president with banners reading "Welcome hero of peace," "Long live the leadership of Egypt, and "God bless your moves for President."
Hastily erected arches lined the motorcade route with signs such as "God is with you" and "The people rally behind Sadat." In Cairo, sirens wailed and cars honked their horns as crowds, packed 10-deep barricades, chanted "Live, Lave O sadat!"
Sadat's Center Party made every effort to assure a triumphant return, apparently to demonstrate to other Arabs that his people were still behind their president.
BUT THE crowds fell short of the three million forecast by officials, and apart from the noise, the people appeared relatively calm. But they were not. That Sadat's mission had not produced a

A Stouffer Place apartment building will become the test site for a federal solar energy research project to be built before next summer at the University of Kansas.
The Kansas Board of Regents Friday gave authorization for installation of a solar system funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Energy Department. The system will heat and condition one 12-apartment building.
Max Lucas, director of facilities planning said yesterday that KU would be one of five regional test sites of the system in the United States and was monitoring the system in different areas of the United States to test the system's efficiency in different climates.
There will be no classes after 5 tonight through Sunday for the Thanksgiving meal.

Loan for stadium renovations reconsidered
"We're still involved in negotiations and a court, we can we'll make a formal announcement."
Clyde Walker, KU athletic director, said yesterday.
But Todd Seymour, president of the Endowment Association, said he doubted whether any decision would be reached today.
scheduled to consider the loan Sunday, but postponed the discussion, saying that the terms needed to be negotiated further with KUAC.
Walker said he thought an announcement about the loan would be helpful. "I will probably be by phone soon today."
"I DON'T know how it can be much more before Thanksgiving," he said. "There are even some who don't."

and the proposed 8.1-million loan to the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC).
LUCAS SAID representatives from both federal agencies began discussing the future of the grid about nine months ago. In deciding to locate the system at KU, Lucas said, they considered previous University efforts to conserv energy and previous solar energy resources.
Lucas explained how the new system would work. First, the sun will heat liquid in a solar collector field. The heated liquid will then be pumped by a generator engine and transferred to tanks where heat will be extracted from the liquid and used as the source of power.
None of the 25 buildings that compose Stouffer Place are air-conditioned. Stouffer Place, which is south of Allen Field House and east of McColm and Ellsworth halls, is University-operated housing for married students.
The Kansas University Endowment Association today will reconsider a request for a loan to finance Memorial Stadium renovations.
The cost of the research project is expected to be $335,000. A total of $320,000 will come from a NASA-ERDA grant, and $15,000 will be provided by KU housing.
Besides generating electricity to provide
Lucas said the new system would be unusual because it would be used not only to heat the apartments but also to generate electricity to air-condition them.
LUCAS SAID he hoped installation of the equipment begins in January and be for use until November.
air conditioning. Lucas said the new system could reduce hot-water heating costs. He said the building that received the system would be replaced by new equipment would be replaced by new equipment.
NASA AND ERDA officials will monitor the KU system for about two years. At the end of that time, Lucas said, the University must keep the equipment and take over its operation.
Lucas said that data collected by NASA and ENDA during the monitoring period were used to support the study.
"We have assurances that the system will not be restrictive," Lucas said. "Students will not be compelled to take classes."
J. J. Wilson, director of housing, said that although no definite decision had been reached, it was likely that the equipment had been installed in Building One of Stouffer Place.
Because the project is experimental, because sas will not work, not whether participants would not have to participate.
Wilson said because no definite starting and finishing date for the project had been established, some details, such as providing backup heating systems in case the new equipment failed, still remained to be worked out.
"If someone doesn't want to be a guinea pig we might give him an option to move to the other room."

KU researchers' findings used by CIA,prof says
Staff Writer
Roy Laird, professor of political science, said recently that he often gave the CIA and other agencies or groups, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture or Kansas farmers, copies of his research on Soviet agriculture, his research specialty. Ion before it was published.
At least one University of Kansas professor has provided advance copies of research articles to the Central Intelligence Agency, but CIA involvement at the University in informal relationships, according to KU officials.
Laird said he had worked at the CIA in Washington, D.C., in 1956, doing research on the Soviet Union. He said he didn't do research for the CIA now but only to re-use "de-print" copies of studies that were to be published.
He said that waiting for publication would have meant the groups would have gotten the information more easily.
"IM CONFIDENT that the CIA and other federal agencies are continually making such open contacts with other scholars at KU and most other major research universities." he said.
Recent disclosures by a congressional investigative committee are indicated at least 80 U.S. and Canadian
universities had been involved in research for the CIA, some of it experimentation on humans.
Robert C. Bearse, associate dean of research administration, said last week that as far as he knew no research was being done for the CIA at KU. He said he knew of no such research ever being done here. He said he would consider it a violation of administration policy if someone did have such a formal research relationship without clearing it with research administration.
Chancellor Archie Dykes and Executive Vice Chancellor Dinkel Shankel in September, shortly after the disclosures, that as far as they knew KU was not then and never had been involved in any research
THE KU FACULTY handbook states that a "faculty member must report, in writing, the proposed arrangement prior to engaging in the accrual of research on a formal basis with an agency outside."
Bearse said the rule meant professors could not do classified research, which is secret and not intended for publication, except in time of national emergency. That was a concern, he would ever do any experimentation on human beasts.
"We will not accept research we feel is not appropriate to the University of Kansas," he said. "The
University has very strict rules about research on human beings."
ALL RESEARCH must be cleared through the research administration office, he said, but added that sometimes a professor did not notify the administration because of an oversight by the professor. "In case things were" worked out" because KU had no official sanctions against professionals for violations.
"If they disobey the rules, things are handled," he said.
Bearse said, however, that professors almost always channeled research proposals through his office and that research was allowed on campus as long as it was appropriate to KU.
"Research should be allowed on campus if it is leitimate research." Bearsaid said.
He said, however, that it was possible for some research to be done that could be used later for training and development.
"I DON'T PRESUME to be wise enough to be able to judge when the danger outweighs the benefits," he said. "If someone can pervert it, that's not my problem."
"I've never seen anything that looks suspicious to me."
Bearse said that the main criterion for accepting research was that it be of a scholarly nature.
"I feel a faculty member has an obligation to the university to do research that enhances his value as a teacher."
Laird said he thought a professor also had an obligation to talk to the CIA if he thought his knowledge could benefit U.S. intelligence agencies:
U. S. intelligence bureau and other government agencies commonly ask what research is being done at universities, he said. The State Department and the Departments of Education documents to aid him in his research.
"WE HAVE a valuable information exchange," he said.
Laird said his studies probably have been used by intelligence agencies in predicting the crop situation.
He said that he found nothing wrong with supplying the CIA with information after he had made trips or
Llaird said that he had been to the Soviet Union three times to meet with Russian agricultural experts and that the CIA had contacted him after he had returned to ask him about what he had seen there.
"The Soviets have never put out a harvest projection," he said. "Since their grain purchases have become so important to U.S. farmers, if they want to survive, we can we can to figure out what their crop output will be."
do research. He said, however, that making prior arrangements he would be getting into a "tukkish area" of Manhattan.
The ticklish issue of CIA involvement on campus was discussed at a meeting of the KU chapter of the Association of American University Professors (AUIP) last spring.
ROBERT FRHAUF, professor of physics and astronomy, was president of the AAPU at the time.
He said recently that the meeting had been prompted by a letter from the national AUAP describing the use of front organization by the CIA to hire professors to do research unknowingly for the
He said that no policy decisions came out of the meeting but that there had been a long discussion of it.
"We feel people should have a great deal of freedom in choosing what they do," he said.
Frieda said, however, that the members attending had decided a professor should not get a colleague involved without that person's permission. He said that in some cases a professor had recommended someone else to the CIA, and the agency had begun an investigation of the person.
'nere were pretty clear feelings that this would be unnatural,' he said. 'You should not get any else away.'
