Libyan students fear visitors
By PENNI CRABTREE Staff Reporter
Political assassinations "hits" ordered by Libyan government-sponsored death squads - have become a threatening reality for several KU students, Libyan students said yesterday.
According to the students, several Washington-based supporters of Libyan head of state Col. Moammar Khadafy and others suspected of being directly involved with the death squads, will be on campus today to commemorate the anniversary of Libya's First of September Revolution.
The celebration, which includes a meeting at 8:30 p.m. in Room 3139 Wescue and a dinner at the Ramada part of a bologus event, one student said.
BETWEEN 200 AND 300 people are expected to attend the celebration, including Libyan students, from across the country.
"The recognized celebration day was held in January," the student said, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. "These people are in town to spy, and almost certainly to commit violence."
One visitor from Washington who said he was a former KU student, Mohammad Ghuj, said last night from his room in the city, everyone had come lust to celebrate.
"Libyans do not spy on other Libyans." Guhu said.
Representatives of the KU Libyan Student Union have complained about the event. They said it had been approved by the Office of Student Organizations and Activities without their knowledge or consent.
"The students who presented themselves to the events people as representatives of the Libyan Student union, a spokesman for the group said. "Our group is the only Lawrence branch chartered by the Students' General Union of the Socialist People's Libyan Union." The national Libyan student union."
One Libyan student said that although the event was not supported by the Libyan Student Union, it was supported by the Washington institution's Washington-based parent group.
"People from the Washington branch are coming here to investigate because they think that some KU students are launching an opposition movement against Khadafy," the student said. "I don't want them being here, but with terrorists. I wouldn't guarantee the safety of anyone who attends these programs."
ACCORDING TO THE LIBYAN
Student Union apologize, but also
assume that one of them is a
member.

students who organized the event was expelled from the KU Libyan Union.
"From what I understand, some Libyan students approached the International Club with a request that they sponsor their event," Eversole said. "At the time, the Libyan Student Union was not registered to the University so students had to make arrangements through the KU organization."
Ann Eversole, the director of the Office of Student Organizations and Activities, said that the event had been approved through the International Club, the KU student organization that is sponsoring the event.

So, I said to this friend of mine. "Don't you think this alligator thing is getting ridiculous?"
If you, as an independent thinker, want a really fine quality all cotton knit shirt, try ours . . . from CROSS CREEK.
He agreed.
