Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadid 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 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 Traiki. JANA, the Libyan news agency, said the two men expressed a "common desire" with this matter through friendly means."
In the interview, Khadafy blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy in police sharpshooters and anti-terrorist units.
In London, a foreign office spokesman said, "The atmosphere was good and both sides emphasized that they were looking for a peaceful solution."
"British police forces and helicopters and armored forces must withdraw immediately and release our people there, nothing else," said Khadafy.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Mufatli Fitouri, and said Britain "urgently" wanted to know from the Libyan government whether police could enter the building.
The British government had been waiting since Wednesday night for a response to a formal request for permission to enter the country. Most people inside and search for guns and bombs.
But the government insisted it could wait out the Libyans.
"The police are showing steadiness, patience and resolve," said Leon Britton, 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 a truce.
The foreign office said Libya was still holding three Britons detained earlier this week, including a British Caledonian Airways manager.
IN **THIPOLL**, Libya's capital, 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 limits" against an estimated 5,900 Britons in the city.

The committee voted 8-7 to accept the petition after Russ Ptacek, Nunenmaker senator, presented architectural drawings from Burger King and Starbucks. The board approved 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 convenient for students. "We've got nothing to bring in more students."
He also said profits from the restaurant possibly could be used to offset the price of

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 committee members in the Board of Regents committee decided yesterday.
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 tuition 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, which gave governance had been designated since 1983.
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
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 trapping all over the world researching such topics as Chinese language in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
ONE OF THOSE faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and ancientapan next spring to study Zen monk nautilus.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 48 students.
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.

tional companies be permitted to enter the retirement program, which now is limited to TIAA-CREF, the Teachers Insurance and Education Association and College Retirement Authority.
The subcommittee is to reconsider its proposal because none of the three recommended companies, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity National, National, and Union mutual, 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 not 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 with Chief Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Students leave while contestants invade Lawrence
By the Kansan Staff
Scores of students will abandon Lawrence this Easter weekend for the sake of Mom's home-cooking, but the city's hotel business will be booming. The 51st annual Kansas Relays will bring almost 1,500 athletes and 15,000 to 20,000 spectators to the city.
Many of these people will need lodging, and the hotels have the reservations to
Athletes will stay also in fraternities, sororities, scholarship halls and other
"We know that they are fairly full, maybe not 100 percent, but close," said Judy Billings, director of the Conventions and Visitors Bureau of Lawrence.
Billings said that any major university event would bring increased business to Lawrence, though it was difficult to predict how much.
"AS FAR AS A hard and fast figure, we've never been able to do that, not even with football games." she said. "Every year is different because there are so many factors involved. The date, the weather, and the participating teams—all affect the attendance. Last year the Soviet participation drew a larger crowd."
AREA MERCHANTS also are preparing for the relays. Don's Stake House, 2176 E. 23rd St., will not book parties for the relays weekend. In the past it has almost doubled the number of relays and expect to do the same this year, according to the restaurant's bookkeeper.
Everyone involved in Relays housing

Even though over 1,000 athletes are traveling to Lawrence for the Kansas Relays, finding a place for all they shouldn't be a big problem. Tom Jacobs,
The teams, some traveling from as far as California and Pennsylvania, will stay in fraternity and sorority houses or hotels and hotels in Lawrence.
In addition to the Holidome, athletes will be staying at the All Seasons Motel, the Ramada Inn, the Travel Lodge, and the Best Western Hotel. Jacobs said.
"There are about 500 athletes staying in town with another 300 to 500 commuting in," Andy Foster, tri-chairman in charge of housing committee, said. "Some teams stay at the Holidome as it's one of the biggest hotels."
However, a good number of athletes will be rooming for free with some fraternities and sororitis on the hill, Kevin Krause, a member of the housing committee, said.
So far seven fraternities and sororites, the Alpha Gamma Delta and the Alpha Chi Omega sororites and the Lambda Chi Alpha, the Kappa Sigma, the Tau Kappa Alpha, the Kappa Iota, the Alpha KappaLambda fraternites have agreed to house the athletes. Jacobs said.
"We contact the houses." Foster said. "We don't usually call private homes because we prefer to associate with living groups on the hill."
The athletes don't eat at the houses and provide their own transportation," Kagan said.
"Staying with groups on the hill gives the teams a taste of campus, it lets them see what we're like. Jacobs said. "We work together to have an interaction between us and the athletes."
