Britain expels Libyan linked with embassy
Student thought to be a leader of mission under police seige
LONDON — Britain deported a Libyan thought to be a leader of Tripii's besieged embassy while angry Britons warned that expelling the occupants of the mission without trial could lead to violence.
By United Press International
Scotland Yard announced Britain's first deportation of a Libyan since a police siege began last Tuesday at the Libyan "People's" prison, a 26-year-old student, Saleh Ibrahim Mabruk.
HE WAS PUT ON a plane that left Heathrow Airport for Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
Libya threatened "revolutionary action" against Britain and increased support for the outlawed Irish Republican Army, which is a member of the insurgent against the British presence of Northern Ireland
Mabruk was thought to be one of four Libyans who have controlled the People's Bureau since it was taken over in February by students of Moomam Khadafy, government sources said.
Police said Mabruk was arrested "in connection with" the fatal shooting of a British policewoman outside the Libyan Embassy in Kabul. The incarceration last Tuesday against Khadiyah's regime.
Mabruk, who has been in Britain since 1982 studying English, was not in the embassy at the time of the shooting and was arrested Saturday at his London home, government sources said.
Police would only say that Mabruk's "continued presence in Britain was not conducive to
Authorities last week identified a man named Saleh ibrahim "as one of the Libyans in charge of the site."
He was said to be a former president of the Libyan Students Federation who in 1980 served on a Libyan revolutionary tribunal which sentenced scores of Libyans to death. Governance did they were investigating whether the deported student was the same as "Saleh ibrahim."

Johnson winning goals despite criticism

AD driven by the work ethic
The promises he made and the goals he set were not unusual for an incoming athletic director. But the steps he's taken to reach those goals have sometimes shaken the University and invariably altered the face of KU athletics.
A year and a half ago, Monte Johnson began his tenure as KU athletic director with promises of increasing attendance, raising alumni donations and producing consistently winning teams.
"Some people think that when I came in, changes were guaranteed," Johnson said recently. "I know in my heart that's not true. There was no condition that I should be what to do, there were no conditions imposed by anyone or any group."
Even those opponents and former athletic department employees who disagree with Johnson's approach agree that his record is impressive.
Within months after taking the job, Johnson fired his head basketball and football coaches and hired well-respected replacements.
In short, he vowed to revitalize a KU athletic department that many thought had lost prestige after more than a decade of inconsistency.
'He's done more in two years than
his predecessors did in the previous 10," said Steve Young, a student member of the University of Kansas and an alumnus. "He opposed Johnson on several occasions.
Besides the coaching changes, Johnson has been instrumental in increasing alumni donations 35 percent over the past two years and in obtaining an additional $3.2 million donation for an indoor training complex.
Friends, colleagues and associates say Johnson's success stems from hard work and the ability to make tough decisions — business decisions. The picture they point of Johnson is one of a hard nosed, efficient businessman who knows how to separate sentiment from the emotional world of collegiate athletics.
In those two years, he has overseen a 33 percent increase in the athletic department's budget, which will reach $5.63 million for fiscal year 1985

Tuition at the University of Kansas would increase to percent in fall 1984 under a plan approved by the university.
At KU, tuition for Kansas undergraduates could climb to $819 that semester if the $124 campus fees were now added onto the tuition set by the state. Undergrads would pay $1,521.
The Regents set the basic tuition for all seven schools in the system. Each university can assess additional campus fees, which KU uses to support academic services, Student Senate,
women's and nonrevenue sports and about six other campus services.
THE REGENTS GAVE preliminary approval to the tuition proposal at a meeting at Emporia State University. Next month, the Regents are scheduled to give final consideration to the plan.
Under the proposal, Kansas undergraduates at the Regents doctoral institutions — KU, Kansas State University and Wichita State University — would pay $495 plus campus fees each semester in 1883. 10 percent more than the $450 tuition for resident undergraduates next year.
With the $124 campus fee, Kansas undergraduates at KU next fall will pay $74. Campus fees at UF and UT are $53.
academic year, but this year's $124 fee will remain the same for next year.
Excluding campus fees at KU, the Regents proposal for the fall of 1985 requires nonresident undergraduates to pay $1.397. Resident graduate students' tuition will be $555 plus campus fees, and nonresident graduate students will pay $1.457 plus campus fees.
next fall, nonresident undergraduates will pay $1.414; non/resident graduate students will pay $1.539; and resident graduate students will pay $614. Those figures include campus fees.
UNDER THE PROPOSAL, most departmental, laboratory and academic service fees would be eliminated, and an additional $12
would be attached to the tuition at KU and the other two doctoral universities.
Students will still be required to pay for individual music lessons geography and geology
Tom Rawson, Regents director of planning and budget, said at the Thursday Regents meeting that the fee schedule was designed to maintain a 25 fee-cost ratio among all Regents schools. The fee-cost ratio is the percentage of the total education cost students pay.
This year, undergraduates and graduates paid equal amounts.
Resident tuition was $534 and nonresident tuition was $1,324.
Government defends rule linking aid to registration
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The government told the Supreme Court yesterday that regulations denying student aid to young men who had not registered for the draft were not intended to catch wrongdoers but to remind young men to register.
But opponents of the rule told the justices that it illegally punished young men who failed to register and violated the Fifth Amendment by compelling nonregisters to incriminate themselves by making statements that could be used to prosecute them.
The Minnesota Public Interest Research Group is challenging the aid regulation on behalf of six students who have not registered for the
draft and need federal aid to continue their educations.
A FEDERAL JUDGE STRUCK down the regulation, saying that making student aid contingent upon registration violated the Fifth Amendment protection against self-attainment to a "ball of attainer" — illegal, legislative punishment for crimes without a judicial trial.
The judge issued an injunction against the regulation but the government won a stay from the Supreme Court that allowed it to impose the aid rule while the high court considered the case.
U. S. Senator General Ted Cruz said the judges wrongly doodled, but instead, was a "reminder" to

Curious residents find clue, capture suspect in area thefts
By JILL CASEY

An open box of laundry detergent provided the clue that led four Lawrence residents into a chase that ended with a man's arrest early the next day and put cars in the 2006 block of Rhode Island Street.
The man, a 19-year-old Haskell Indian Junior College student, was arrested on three counts of felony theft and one count of possession of burglary tools, Lawrence Police Corp. Dan McAlister said. Police are holding the suspect in Douglas County Jail.
Michael Thiry, a Lawrence special student, and his friends were on their way home when they noticed an open box of laundry detergent filled with white clothes parked in the 2100 block of Rhoean Island Street.
THE CHASE BEGAN at 3 a.m. when a KU student and three of his friends came home from a night in Kansas City.
Thiry said one of his companions noticed a man walking down Rhode Island Street a few moments later, detergent in hand, and told Thiry that he should check his truck to see whether anything was missing.
They thought that a box of detergent sitting in the street was peculiar. Thirad, said, and got out of the house.
AFTER POLICE HAD ARRIVED, Thiry found that the man had only loosened his stereo, but had not taken it out. Apparently the four men were object, he said, while he was stealing the stereo.
At first glance, Thiry said, he thought his truck's stereo was missed, so he ran after the man who had been walking away from the neighborhood a few moments earlier.
Thiry and his friends chased the man and caught him by his jacket few blocks away on the street.
Thiry said that he held the suspect, threw his house keys to one of his friends and asked the fighter to help him.
A Lawrence woman who also lives in the 2100 block of Rhode Island Street reported that a box of detergent, a pair of sunglasses and a pair of pliers had been stolen from her car.
McAlison said the man was arrested for felony theft because he had several items that police thought were stolen. The man also had broken glass and suspected had been used to break into the cars.
Lawrence police found two car stereos and some smaller items in the man's possession.
Another man in the neighborhood told police that a theft took a tire gauge, sunglasses, a camera and a computer.
Any tools that burglarys in a crime are considered burglary tools, McAllister said, even if the tool is not used.

Brig. Gen. Charles Yeager talks about being the first man to break the sound barrier. Yeager got sick when he took his first plane ride in 1942, he said Friday at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Tom Wolfe included Yeager in his best-selling book "The Right Stuff." In that book, Wolfe said that Yeager "took off the feed-store overalls and put on a uniform and climbed into an airplane and lit up the skies over Europe." Yeager served in World War II flying fighter planes. When he returned to the United States, Yeager became a flight instructor and then a test pilot for the Air Force. He retired from the Air Force in 1975 but still acts as a consultant for a private firm that is designing the X-20 jet fighter.
Scientists say cancer virus causes AIDS
By United Press International
Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler and scientists from the National Cancer Institute and federal Centers for Disease Control said a new variation of a virus suspected in AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, since last year was apparently the cause of the disease, which has claimed more than 1,700 lives.
WASHINGTON — The Health and Human Services Department yesterday announced strong new evidence that a human cancer virus appears to be the cause of AIDS, and that a vaccine may be developed against the deadly syndrome within three years.
She said scientists had hit the target — that of finding the cause of AIDS — and were "only two years away."
AIDS DESTROYS THE BODY'S immune system, leaving victims open to a variety of fatal infections and cancers. In the United States, AIDS strikes primarily homosexual or bisexual males, drug users, Haitian immigrants and hemophiliacs.
It is thought AIDS can be transmitted through transfusion of blood products and intimate contact.
As of April 16, the centers had recorded 4,087 cases and 1,758 deaths.
Techniques were developed for the first time to grow the virus in large quantities. This makes a blood test for the virus possible, the scientists said.
Although the discoveries will not be of immediate benefit to people who already have AIDS, they will help scientists figure out how the disease progresses, detect the disease before symptoms develop and possibly prevent its spread to hemophiliacs and blood transfusion recipients by identifying the virus in donated blood.
"It just begins a whole series of miracles that can occur as result of these discoveries today," said Dr. James O. Mason, head of the disease control centers.
OTHER SCIENTISTS WERE careful to point out it will take some time and further research to be done.
Dr. Edward N. Brandt, assistant secretary for health, said that providing careful human testing achieved acceptable results, a vaccine could be on the market in two to three years.
