Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadab 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."
Khaday, in an interview broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp. and NBC News, also made velled threats against Britons who had been 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 policewoman and wounded 11 anti-Khadafy protesters.
OLIVER MILES, the British ambassador in Tripoli, yesterday met the head of the Libyan Foreign Ministry, Abdulsalam Traiak. TAIKA, the Libyan news agency, said the two men expressed a "common desire" 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, Khadafy blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy in police sharkshooters 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 UK. Some 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 Libyans 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 withdrawal.
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 which we 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.

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 needs clarification, a 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 training 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 asserts governance had been designated 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
In the next academic year, several faculty on sabbatical are likely to be trapping all over the world researching such topics as language learning in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
Each year, dozens of tenured KU faculty members dust off their suitcases and leave their Kansas classrooms in search of knowledge.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 50 board members.
ONE OF THOSE faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and museums 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.

The subcommittee is to reconsider its proposal because none of the three recommended companies, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity National, and Unionmutual, 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 opt to have 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 in Chicago.

While the KU track team is competing in the Kansas Relays, several other KU teams will be in action during the event. What do each Kansas team will be doing?
TENNIS
The Kansas Jayhawk women's tennis team will be at home this weekend when it will face Iowa State and Nebraska in dual meets. KU will take on ISU tomorrow and Nebraska Saturday on the Allen Field House courts.
"this really is a big weekend for us," KU tennis coach Scott佩尔曼 said. "We have a legitimate shot to finish in the top three in the conference."
THE WOMEN'S TEAM beat Colorado 7-2 Friday in Boulder to help his chances for an upper-division finish in the Big Eight Conference. However, Perelman said the team still needed a convincing victory this weekend.
"We have to Iowa State badly — 8-1 or 9-0," Perelman said. "If we do that, then win against Nebraska, we'll be right in the thick of the race."
Perelman said his team was starting to take shape after a slow beginning.
"The thing about the girl's team is that they are so young and are now maturing so quickly that anything is possible," he said. "I believe if we play with confidence, we as good of talent as anybody in the region."
Perealman also said he hoped the KU fans who had supported the men's team this season would come out to watch the women play.
Laura Runnels will play at 1 no. singles,
followed by Barbara Inman, Cindy Bregin,
Christine Parr, Janelle Boilen and Beth
Coleman.
Runnels and Bolen will play No. 1
doubles; Iman and Parr will play No. 2
and Bregin and Steffanie Dicke No. 3
doubles.
"I'm just ticked to death that we are in contention in both races." Perleman said. It is really satisfying to go from the bottom to the top, to a contagious contender on both sides.
THE MEN'S TEAM will continue its charge for a Big Eight championship this weekend when it travels to Iowa State and Nebraska this weekend.
KU will be in Ames tomorrow to face the Cyclones and in Lincoln Saturday.
The 'Jayhawks' big Eight action was Friday when they beat Colorado 9-0. The previous week, Colorado had beaten Nebraska 8-1 and Iowa State 7-2.
"NEBRASKA, ON PAPER, has a very good team," he said. "However, their scores do not reflect that. But I know the guys they have playing for them and on any given day, they are capable of playing excellent tennis.
See PREVIEW, p. 18
Although Nebraska has struggled in Big Eight play, Perelman said the Cornhuskusers were still a dangerous team.
