Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moamarmar Khaday 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, Abdulssalam Traiki, JANA, 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 embassy. The people inside and search for guns and bombs.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Mutfah 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
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.

Discontinuance plan fails Regents review
By GRETCHEN DAY
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.
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 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, and thus governance had been desinformed since 1982.
Regents policy states that the chancellor should have final authority to dismiss a faculty
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 U.S. students.
ONE OF THESE 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.

tional companies be permitted to enter the retirement program, which now is limited to TIAA-CREF, the Teachers Insurance and Equities 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 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 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 on Thursday.

Buckingham hopes to be next KU Olympic athlete
Jeff Buckingham
Until two weeks ago, when he fractured his heel, he was favored to win the KU Relays pole vault competition on Saturday. Buckingham will sit out this year's relays because of the injury. He had been the favorite because of his top-ranked vault of $18-10^3$, which came in July at the Lawrence Track Club Open Meet and is the U.S. outdoor record.
If Buckingham qualifies for the Olympic Games, the international competition will not be strange to him. In August he finished as the highest ranking American in the pole vault at the World Track and Field Championships in
Sports Writer
The University of Kansas, with former track stars such as Al Oerter, Jim Ryan, Billy Mills and Glenn Cunningham, has a rich tradition of Olympic athletes. One former Jayhawk who will be trying to add to that tradition with a trip to the Los Angeles Olympic Games this summer is 1983 graduate Jeff Buckingham.
Buckingham, from Gardner, competed on a limited basis during the indoor season because of a hamstring injury, but still managed to vault 184. A barn record holder, Earl Bell and U.S. indoor record holder Billy Olson.
Buckingham said he had decided to cut down on the number of meets he participated in so he could avoid injuries and concentrate on preparing for the Olympic Trials this summer in Eugene, Ore. Before injuring himself, Buckingham since Feb. 4. Before injuring his heel, Buckingham said that the layoff had 'healed all of his injuries.'
"I'm having a little trouble with my knee," he said. "But the hamstring is fine. Right now I'm training a little bit harder and preparing myself for the Olympic Trials in June."
Helsinki. He also won the silver medal at the Pan-American Games last summer.
At Gardner High School, Buckingham won three Kansas state outdoor titles in the pole vault and placed first in the 1976 Junior Olympics. He was Big Eight Conference champion in the pole vault four times and placed in the top five in the NCAA indoor or outdoor four times.
Last year, Buckingham capped his final season as a Jayhawk by placing first in the pole vault at the Big Eight indoor and outdoor meets, competing against 1982 NCAA outdoor champion Lone Lake of Kansas State and national high school champion Olea of Oklahoma State. His mark of 18-3 at the street was a Big Eight record. Lyle and Dial will be participating in the pole vault at the Relaxs this weekend.
Last year at the KU Relays, Buckingham placed fourth in a windy meet against a contingent that included two vaulters from the Soviet Union.
Buckingham spends most of his time training with the KU pole vaulters but admits that he likes to train alone.
Although training takes up most of his time, Buekingham said that he still found time to work and enjoy life away from the classroom.
"I'm sure that the taller you are the higher you can hold on the pole," he said. "But I make up for that with my runway down the runway."
At 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds, Buckingham is one of the smallest world-class paultiers. However, he said that there were some ways in which he could compensate for his lack of size.
Buckingham said that he would probably compete in only four or five more meets before the Olympic Trials. Whether he makes the Olympic team is a matter of hope to continue vaulting at least until the 1988 Olympics.
"I plan on jumping as long as I can."
Buckingham said. "I enjoy it."
