Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadiyah demanded yesterday that Britain end a three-day siege of Libya's embassy in London and demonstrators in Tripoli warned that an estimated 8,500 British citizens in Libya were being treated as "prisoners."
Khadafy, in an interview broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp. and NBC News, also made veiled threats against Britons he said. He said that now they were in good condition.
But, he said. "Our people are very, very angry and we hope we can control this."
However, both sides later said they were seeking a peaceful end to the embassy stand-off, which began Tuesday when machine gunfire from the building killed a policewoman and wounded 11 anti-Khadafy protesters.
OLIVER MILES, the British ambassador in Tripoli, yesterday met the head of the Libyan Foreign Ministry, Abdulsalam Traiki. JANA, the Libyan news agency, said the two men expressed a "common desire ... to deal with this matter through friendly means."
In London, a foreign office spokesman said,
"The atmosphere was good and both sides emphasized that they were looking for a peaceful solution."
In the interview, Khadady blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy or police sharpshooters and anti-terrorist units.
"British police forces and helicopters and armored forces must withdraw immediately and release our people there, nothing else," said Khadafy.
The British government had been waiting since Wednesday night for a response to a formal request for permission to enter the compound. Many people inside and search for guns and bombs.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Muftah Fuitori, and said Britain "urgently" wanted to know from the Libyan government whether police could enter the building.
But the government insisted it could wait out the Libyans.
"The police are showing steadiness, patience and resolve," said Leon Brittan, the British minister in charge of internal security.
There had been rumors that Britain was readying aircraft to fly the Libyan out, but when asked to confirm the rumors, the minister said, "That's news to me."
under international law, embassies are considered sovereign territory, so British police cannot enter the Libyan Embassy without permission from Libya.
By midday yesterday, the Libyan government had not responded to Britain's request for permission.
The foreign office said Libya was still holding three Britons detained earlier this week, including a British Caledonian Airways manager.
IN TRIPOLI. Libya's capitol, angry Libyans demonstrated outside the British Embassy for nearly two hours yesterday, protesting the siege of the Libyan mission in London and threatening revenge "beyond" against an estimated 8,500 Britons in Libya
Several hundred people chanted slogans and shook their fists in the midday-demonstration, which diplomats believed was government-sponsored.

the committee voted 8-7 to accept the petition after Russell Ptacek, nenumerator senator, presented architectural drawings from Burger King. The committee rejected the proposal for a franchise on the third floor of the Union.
PTACKE, WHO HAS been negotiating with Burger King and McDonald's since October, said that a fast food restaurant in the Union would be the best choice for Union's business by bringing in more students.
He also said profits from the restaurant possibly could be used to offset the price of
A fast-food restaurant franchise would sign a five-year contract with the Union and would pay for construction of the restaurant, Ptacek said.
Discontinuance plan fails Regents review

EMPERORIA — A section of a KU policy that outlines steps for the administration to take when cutting academic programs is unclear and needs clarification, a board of Regents com
After reviewing the policy, the Regents Policy and Procedures Committee voted to send it back to the University of Kansas for revision because the policy did not clearly state who had final authority to dismiss faculty when a program was cut.
THE KU DISCONTINUANCE policy was developed after the Regents amended its tenure policy in 1982 to include program or unit training as a reason for dismissing tenured faculty.
The Regents requested that all of its six universities draft such a policy. Chancellor Gene A. Buding in February approved the KU policy, and the governance had been designed since 1982.
Regents policy states that the chancellor should have final authority to dismiss a faculty member.
But former KU Chancellor Archie Dykes said that one section of the University's document
Sabbatical leaves will take faculty from art of Zen to tales of Chaucer
By GRETCHEN DAY Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Each year, dozens of tenured KU faculty members dust off their suitcases and leave their Kansas classrooms in search of knowledge.
In the next academic year, several faculty on sabbatical are likely to be traiping all over the world researching such topics as the history of slavery in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 48 staff members.
ONE OF THOSE faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and basins next spring to study Zen monk paintings.
Addiss he would discuss with Japanese monks and other scholars the meaning of Zen monk paintings, poetry and calligraphy between the years of 1600 and 1925. His research will culminate in a book on the art form.

tional companies be permitted to enter the retirement program, which now is limited to TIA-CREF, the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association and College Retirement Equities Fund.
The subcommittee is to reconsider its proposal because none of the three recommended companies, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity National, and Unisonmutual, is based in Kansas.
The subcommittee is to consider adding a Kansas company as an option, substituting one of the companies for a Kansas company or leaving the proposal as it is.
REGENT JORDAN HAINES said, "I'd feel better if we had a Kansas-based company as an option. If I were a faculty member, I might why a Kansas company wasn't included."
Carol Proffer, a consultant working with the Regents committee, said that the committee had already determined that the only Kansas company that was qualified was Security Benefit Life. But the committee had decided that the other three companies provided better options.
Dykes, who is president and chief executive officer of Security Benefit Life, left the meeting after a day of discussions.
