Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
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."

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, Khadif blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy in 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 UK. But the police, people inside and search for guns and bombs.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Mufaft 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 to stop the occupation.
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 us" 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 Senate will vote on the petition at its meeting Wednesday.
The committee voted 8-7 to accept the petition after Russ Ptacek, Nunenmaker senator, presented architectural drawings from Burger King for a contract. The committee also requested a franchise on the third floor of the Union.
PTACEK, WHO HAS been negotiating with Burger King and McDonald's since October, said that a fast-food restaurant in the Union would be a major part of the menu. Uppen's business by bringing in more students
He also said profits from the restaurant position could be used to offset the price of books.
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
By GRETCHEN DAY
Staff Reporter
EMPORIA - A section of a RU 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 1882 to include program or unit education as a reason for dismissing tenured faculty.
The Regents requested that all of its six universities draft such a policy. Chancellor Gene A. Budg in February approved the KU policy, which required 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

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 chimpanzees in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 48 students.
ONE OF THOSE faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and murals on 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.

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

400-meters to highlight Relays
By GREG DAMMAN Sports Writer
The 59th annual Kansas Relays, featuring a field of more than 200 teams, began yesterday at Jim Hershberger Track in Tulsa. The event featured women's deacathlon and women's heptathlon.
The highlight events of this year's relays, the men's invitational 400-meters and men's invitational pole vault, will be held Saturday afternoon.
"The slowest time in the invitational 400 is 46.6, and that kid has really improved," KU assistant track coach Cliff Rovelo said. "We'll have four very real Olympic competitors and two others that have a shot."
The 400 field includes former Jayhawk track star Clifford Filley, who has been the No.1 ranked runner in the world past two years in that event, with a qualifying time of 44.86. Wiley qualified for the 1980 Olympic Games in the 100 and 200 and won the gold medal last summer in the Pan American Games.
Edie Carree is close behind Wiley with a qualifying time of 44.93. Leroy Dixon has the third fastest time at 45.13. A former K-State runner, Mike Bradley, and a former KU runner, Deon Hogan, are ranked fourth and fifth respectively on the relays list with times of 45.30 and 45.38, respectively.

features a number of vaulters with personal bests over 18-0. Jeff Buckingham, a vaulter at KU from 1979-83, has the best mark, an American record height of 18-10%, but he will not be competing because of a heel injury.
With Buckingham out, Larry Jesse now has the top vault at 18.6. He's followed closely by former K-State vaulter Doug Lytle, who was the NCAA pole vault team two years ago and finished second last year at the KU Relays with a height of 18.5.
A third vaulter over 18-0 this year is David Kenworthy, who has a best of 18-3. Former Jayhawk vaulter Terry Porter, who finished 13th at the 1967 Montreal Olympics, has a best vault this year of 17-10 and will also be competing.
