Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadady 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."
Khadiy, in an interview broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp. and NBC News, also made veiled threats against Britons who were killed. 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 policeman and wounded 11 anti-Khadafy protesters.
OLIVER MILES, the British ambassador in Tripoli, yesterday met the head of the Libyan Foreign Ministry, Abdulsalam Traiak. 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, Khadaf blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy 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 museum. 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, Mufafu Fitouri, 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 aid.
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 Libya and threatening revenge "beyond limits" against an estimated 5.900 Britons in Libya.
Several hundred people chanted slogans and shook their fists in the midday-demonstration, which diplomats believed was government-sponsored.

Discontinuance plan fails Regents review
By GRETCHEN DAY Staff Reporter
EMPORIA — A section of a KU policy that outlines steps for the administration to take when cutting academic programs is unclear and the Board of Regents committee decided yesterday.
Staff Reporter
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 assignments as a reason for dismissing tenured faculty.
The Regents requested that all of its six universities draft such a policy. Chancellor Gene A. Budig in February approved the KU policy, and the university governance had been designed since 1983.
Regents policy states that the chancellor should have final authority to dismiss a faculty
But former KU. Chancellor Archie Dykes said that
Sabbatical leaves will take faculty from art of Zen to tales of Chaucer
By GRETCHEN DAY 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 evolution of Indian languages in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to students.
ONE OF THEST faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and churches next spring to study Zen monk paintings.
Addiss said 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.

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 during the discussion of the retirement plan.

BASEBALL
Big Eight conference pitchers have taken all the sting out of bats of the Kansas baseball team so far, but that could change this weekend when the Kansas State Wildcats come to town for a pair of double-headers.

Not counting that game, the staff's conference ERA is 3.18.
"WE'RE JUST NOT hitting aggressively," he head coach Matt Pattin said. "We're taking a lot of pitches and sort of defensively up there, also, at times we're in control of the ball at people. We don't seem to be able to put four or five hits together in a row."

"OUR PITCHERS HAVE done a heck of a job," Pattin said. "They're getting a little frustrated at not getting more runs, but that's part of the game."
