Some Iranian students await cash
By GRANT OVERSTAKE
Last week, Sijavash Kajel, Iran freshman,
was optimistic about his chances of being
able to enroll this week. This week his
confidence is beginning to wane.

"Am I optimistic? No. Why should I be?" he said
Kajel is still waiting for the University State Bank of Lawrence to cash his $200 check so he can enrol. He said, he said that Mr. Jin will sit in on his classes until his money arrived.
"If they wouldn't let me in, I would be having a really bad time." Kaiel said.
Because of the United States' economic sanctions against Iran, many Iranian students have been unable to check cash written on foreign banks. Kajie may deportation if his funds are not cleared from Feb. 27 deadline for late enrollment.
Clark Coan, dean of students, said that there was "a very small number" of Iranian students who had not enrolled. An official said he would end until after the 20th day of classes, he said.
"There were 291 Indians enrolled at KU last semester," Coan said. "We aren't anticipating a very large number of students who have had to leave."
BUT SIHAM Mohammad, Iran junior, said it would be difficult for anyone to know how many Iranians were in financial trouble.
"I'm sure there are several Iranian students in financial difficulty but if the immigration knew it, they'd be in trouble," Mohammad said.
Krajei said that the problems he was facing might clear up some misunderstandings on the part of some Americans.
"There are so many people who think we are all millionaires, but we're not," he said. "We don't realize that the Iranians who are living in Los Angeles, but we are in Kansas. If I were rich, I wouldn't have to worry."
Coan said the University was limited in what it could do because it lacked support funds. He said no one had called his office or written a letter to him, that "doesn't mean it isn't being done."
"There's never been a conflict between two countries that has affected students this way," said Coan. "The person whose fault it isn't are the ones who are suffering. They are caught between the policies of both governments and the safety of the national monetary exchange."
had come into the Endowment Association since school began.
JEFF WEINBURG, associate director of financial aid, said that very few applications by Iranians for short-term loans
It's pretty hard to tell how many of them he buys. It takes the money to buy these. We need him to pay the 20th day will tell a lot. There haven't been any developments which could lighten or darken.
Coan said that it wasn't unusual for a professor to allow a student in financial trouble to sit in on classes.

"Of course it isn't University policy for students to attend class without enrollment, but I think there have been some cases in the past where it have been a student was late in getting his check that professors have written to him, and I would be for a reasonable period of time." Coa said.
Mohammad said that Iranian students were having to pay the price for something they had no responsibility for.

Kansas Relays Committee seeks student help
The Kansas Relays Student Committee, formed in 1923, began in 1923, is looking for new members to assist in planning this year's event, Louanne Hudgins, of one three committee member.
The annual Relays, to be held April 14-
16, are attended by high school and college
teams and individual athletes mainly from
the lowest, but also from the rest of the
country.
Bob Timmons, men's track coach and Relays director, called it "one of the most prestigious meets in the country."
Timmons said many changes were planned this year for the Relays, which lost $4,000 last year, but that the plans had not been released.
Persons interested in working in the Relays should submit a letter of application stating why they are interested in Kansas Relays work.
They must be mailed to the KU men's track office by Feb. 1, Hudgins said.
She said that along with the letters, students should include a resume of high school and college activities this fall's grades and spring semester classes.
Because the jobs take a lot of time as the Relays approach, she said, "we want you who can keep up with their school work."
THE COMMITTEE will interview applicants Feb. 4 and final decisions will be made Feb. 8, Hudgins said.
Last year, senior chairmen received 30 to 40 applications, she said. The committee now has 20 members from previous years and needs about 20 more.
Applicants in the past have been people interested in athletics generally, Hudgins said.
She said that many of the previous
committee members had come from the Alpha Tau Omega and Beta Theta Pi fraternities, but that she would like to have members from all over the University.
Committee members will be expected to attend two afternoon meetings a week after spring break and monthly planning meetings before the break, Hudgins said.
HUDGINS SAID the committee handled RELA's activities. The Relays, including sending entry forms to invited schools, getting publicity, helping with timing and manning the Relays.

ASK THEM WHY
Ask WISTA volunteers they work a year with residents of Chicago's Westside to set up community greenhouses. They probably say they are concerned for America's poor, they want to help the homeless and need to advocate for resources and service they need. Ask them.
