Hijackers continue to hold Americans in Beirut Reagan says no bargaining Area response for cooperation
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A grim and defiant President Reagan, vowing to fight "the scourge of terrorism" refused last night to bargain for the release of 40 Americans held by the U.S. Air Force TWA Flight 837 and their accomplices.
Opening his 30th formal news conference as the Middle East hijacking drama approached its sixth day, Reagan demanded that Muslim faceless release the Americans to end what he said was a "cowardly crime."
"Let me further make it plain to the assassins in Beirut and their accomplices, wherever they may be, that America will never make concessions to terrorists." Reagan "To do so would only invite more terrorism.
"Nor will we ask or pressure any other government to do so. Once we head down that path, there would be no end to it — no end to the suffering of innocent people, no end to the bloody ransom all civilized nations must pay."
Reminded how, in the aftermath of the Iranian hostage crisis, he had promised "swift and effective retribution" against terrorists in the future, a defensive Reagan sought to distinguish the drama in Beirut from the 444-day ordeal that helped bring down the Carter presidency.
Whereas the Iranian crisis was a direct confrontation of governments, he said, the United States only has "a considerable body of evidence" about who is behind the hijacking in Lebanon.

The current hijacking and hostage crisis in Beirut, Lebanon, dramatically demonstrates that even the most powerful nations in the world cannot protect their citizens abroad, a KU professor said Monday.
Pickalkiewicz said the same could be said of all world powers, including the Soviet Union
Jarosław Piekalewecz, professor of political science and Soviet and East European studies, said President Reagan had criticized former President Carter's handling of the Iranian crisis in 1979, but was now finding out that there was not much change in policy about acts of international terrorism.

Lawrence travel agencies, however, reported little reaction by local travelers to the hijacking of the Trans World airlines jettier.
Walt Houk, vice president of Maupintur Travel Service. 900 Massachusetts St., said that few people traveled to the Middle East at this time of the year and thus his agency had not received many calls.
"Our tours avoid Beirut, and individuals go over there as independent travelers usually go more in the spring and the fall." Houk said.
He said that the effect of the hijacking and the taking of American hostages was a grave danger.

"The situation is pretty tenuous there," she said. "I wouldn't advise anyone to travel anywhere near Beirut right now."
Margaret Moritz, a travel consultant for Lawrence Travel Center, 1601 W. 23rd St., said problems with safety came any time people traveled in the Middle East.

Drive-ins can't help bicyclists
Pedestrians too yield to autos at credit union
By Shawn Aday
Staff Reporte
Drive-through windows are for drivers only.
That's what the ADC-KU Federal Credit Union recently told bicyclist William Sharp.
Sharp, who had been accustomed to riding his bicycle through the credit union's lanes at 603 W. Ninth St., was told June 10 that he could not be served because of the company's insurance regulations, he said Monday.
Sharp, scheduling assistant in the office of student records, said it was difficult for bicyclists and pedestrians to get service at the credit union after work because the teller windows inside closed at 5 p.m.
"I've seen people walking up and down the lines asking to sit in someone's car to get service." Sharp said.
Sharon Gaugler, manager of the credit union, said the company's insurance only would cover customers in motor vehicles because those vehicles had brake lights. She said that had always been the credit union's policy but that some hired tellers had not been told about it.
About to complaints had been made about the policy in the past year. Gauger said
Representatives of five other banks and credit unions in Lawrence said they served bicyclists at their drive-through windows.
"We encourage bicyclists and pedestrians to use our automatic teller," said Joan Golden, marketing manager for The First National Bank of Lawrence. "But we would not discourage anyone from using the drive through as long as they stood in line and took their turn."
Anne Lead, office manager for Charlton Manley Inc., 910 Massachusetts St. checked the commercial policies that her company had to abide by and institutional institutions and found no clauses about bicyclists or pedestrians
"We have no specific exclusions for bicyclists or pedestrians." Leaf said yesterday. "The general liability insurance that any business should have would cover whatever portion of the accident the bank might be liable for.
"If it turned out that the driver of the car was negligent, the bank might not be liable at all."
In denying service to bicyclists and pedestrians, Gauger said she was following the instructions of the company's home office, the Air Defense Center Credit Union of El Paso, Texas.
She said the Lawrence branch did not have a local insurance policy, but rather was covered by the home of fice's policy.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 1301 W. Campus Road, recently was placed on a two-year suspension by the University of Kansas.

SAE stripped of affiliation
By J.P. Conroy
Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas has suspended Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 1301 W. Campus Road. from being a registered organization for two years for violations of University regulations, a KU official said yesterday.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the fraternity's registration with the University, under which SAE gains official recognition as a campus organization, had been revoked for two academic years. He said this meant that the fraternity could not function as a group affiliated with the University.
"They cannot use the name of the University, or its facilities or participate in University-sponsored activities," Ambler said. "These activities include rush activities involved with the Interfraternity Council."
James O'Donnell, SAE president, said yesterday from his home in Overland Park,"We were brought up on hazing allegations. Some were true but a lot were blown out of proportion."
Hazing means to persecute or harrass with meaningless, difficult or humiliating tasks.
Ambler said he would not elaborate on the violations because University policy says that the details of his policy matters remain confidential.
"The suspension was for violations of University regulations," Ambler said.
He said Caryl Smith, dean of student life, sent a letter recently to O'Donnell notifying him that the student had been put on suspension.

cumstance of a two-year suspension."
Scott Hartman, Interfraternity Council adviser, said the suspension from IFC rush activities would mean that SAE could no longer officially pledge new members until they were required to again as an organization with KI.
"What that means is we no longer recognize any person that they've pledged since spring formal rush." Hartman said. "They are no longer pledges of SAF to pledge to pledge those men if they desire to pledge another house."
O'Donnell, a junior, said he thought that the suspension would be for 1-3 years, after which the fraternity could submit an appeal.
"The only thing that has happened is the University doesn't recognize us," O'Donnell said. "But in all other cases the fraternity won't change."
O'Donnell said that the suspension came within the last week and that the hazing incident happened in mid-April. He said the SAE national headquarters had been notified of the University's action. He said the national headquarters, along with the SAE KU Alumni Corp., had placed the chapter under the direction of a local chapter alumni committee.
SAE was founded nationally in 1856 and locally in 1903. The KU chapter now has 90 members, O'Donnell said.
National SAE officers were attending a national fraternity convention in Atlanta and could not be reached for comment.
He said that no member of the KU chapter had been expelled from the fraternity in connection with the hazing incident and that the national organization would continue to support him. "It still could operate on campus."
O'Donnell said he thought the University action was not too harsh.

Housing director acted many roles

No one could say an unkind word about J.J. Wilson last night. But undoubtedly the outgoing director of housing was surprised when he was described by Chancellor Gene A. Budig as KU's equivalent of Mary Poppins
"He has weathered pants raids and martial law . . . he has probably answered more false alarms than any career fireman," Badig said. "He has played the roles of master builder, master chef and master plumber . . . and on many occasions, he has been our equivalent of Mary

According to the Regents proposed policy, students at Regents schools should be able to understand the instruction they are given and still be able to experience the diversity of different cultures.
