Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadjah 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."
By United Press International
Khadify, an in interview broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp. and NBC News, also made veiled threats against Britons who had attacked him. 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 situation."
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, Abdulssalam Traiak, JANIA, the Libyan news agency, said men expressed a "common desire to deal 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."
The British government had been waiting since Wednesday night for a response to a formal request for permission to enter the country, but people inside and search for guns and bombs.
"British police forces and helicopters and armored forces must withdraw immediately and release our people there, nothing else," said Khadafy.
But the government insisted it could wait out the Libyans.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Mufahfat Fuitori, and said Britain "urgently" wanted to know from the Libyan government whether police could enter the building.
"The police are showing steadiness, patience and resolve," said Leen 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 a visa.
The foreign office said Libya was still holding three Britons detained earlier this week, including a British Caledonian Airways manager.
IN TRIPOLI, 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 against an estimated 8,300 Britons in Libya.
Several hundred people chanted slogans and shook their fists in the midday-demonstration, which diplomats believed was government-sponsored.

The Student Senate University Affairs Committee last night approved a petition asking the Kansas Union Memorial Board to include a restaurant in its planned renovation of the house.
The Senate will vote on the petition at its meeting Wednesday.
The committee voted 8-7 to accept the petition after Russell Ptacek, Nunen-maker senator, presented architectural drawings from Burger King in the early spring of 2014 for a franchise on the third floor of the Union.
PTACEK, WHO HAS been negotiating with Burkedge and McDonald's since October, said that a fast food restaurant in the Union would be an important step toward Union's business by bringing in more students.
He also said profits from the restaurant possibly could be used to offset the price of
A fast food restaurant franchise would sign a five-year contract with the Union and would pay for their staff.
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.
Regents policy states that the chancellor should have final authority to dismiss a faculty member.
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 governor had been designed since 1982.
THE KU DISCONTINUANCE policy was developed after the Regents amended its tenure policy in 1982 to include program or unit education as a reason for dismissing tenured 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
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 in Hong Kong and slavery in Jamaica.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 48 faculty members.
ONE OF THOSE faculty members, Stephen Addiss, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and galleries of Japan 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 Annuity Association and College Retirement
The subcommittee is to reconsider its proposal because none of the three recommended companies, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity National, and Uniinnual, is based in Kansas.
The subcommittee is to consider among 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 during the discussion of the retirement plan.

mile run in 1967 at California Berkeley when he was a sophomore.
But the list of KU track greats does not end with Ryun.
Al Oerter, who threw the shot-put and discus, is another KU track star.
1958, Oerter took the shot titles at the Texas and Kansas Relays and placed third in the Drake Relays. He won the Texas Relays title in 1958.
Otert took the gold medal for the discus in the 1966, 1968, 1964 and 1968 Olympics. He won the discus titles at the Texas and Drake Relays three straight years.
The university, college, and junior college men's districts events at the KU tournament are held in
Both Oorter and Cunningham are charter inductees of the National Track and Field Championship.
Other world-class athletes have competed at the Relays.
IN 1974, Bruce Jenner, a former Graceland College track star, competed in the decathlon, scoring the best all-time score with 8.240 points. His relays record was beaten until last year when Soviet athlete Oleg Dgyrevette scored 8.252 points.
LAST YEAR, world-class Soviet athletics competed in the Relays at the invitation of a local group. Athletes United for Peace (AUP).
AUP was founded in mid-November 1982, by Bob Swan, a Lawrence insurance executive, to promote peace between the United States and the Soviet Union.
at the same year, Frank Shorter, a Yale graduate, won the 5,000-meter run at the 1972 Olympic marathon had wounded the marathon in the 1972 Olympic marathon took second in the 1976 Olympic marathon.
Jenner went on to win the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics.
Through his work and the work of Mark Scott, the executive director of AUP, an invitation was issued January 13, 1983, to recipients to send a Frack team to the Relays.
Although the Soviets declined the invitation at first, letters written by grade school children and the support of Gov John Carlin, Chancellor Gene A. Budig, Gov John D. Monson, and Sen Edward Kennedy, D-Marie, persuaded them to accept the invitation.
ON MARCH 22, a call from the Soviet embassy notified Scott and Swan that the Soviet Union would be sending a team of 14 athletes to the Relays.
IGOR TER-OZANESYAN, former Olympic long jump champion of the 1960s, coached the men's squad and Nilola Malyshev coached the women's squad.
Among the Soviet athletes who competed were two world-record holders, Nadezhda Olizarenko and Svetlana Ulmasova.
"If we had known they were coming a little earlier, we would have had a lot more people come to compete against the Russians," Timmons said. "First they winning, then they were, then they weren't, then all of a sudden they were on the way."
Oilazarenko held the record for the women's 800-meter run and Ulmasova, the women's 3,000-meter run.
"We're going to try and maybe do the same thing with some other countries in this region."
"There was a tremendous atmosphere of excitement," Timmons said. "There were no negative things said. It was really wonderful." The author further understanding of what it was all about.
Also competing for the Soviet team was Alexander Krupsky, fourth in the world in the pole vault.

THE KANASS RELAYS are traditional annual student competitions which take place in the small city of Lawrence, located about 60 miles from Kansas City. Lawrence has a population of slightly more than 80,000, of which 26,000 are students at the University of Kansas.
With our very first steps on Kansas soil, we understood that they really were waiting for us here. They were visiting the reception and with feelings of friendship they arrived at the airport by children with bouquets of sunflowers, the official flower of the
OUR ATHLETES WON all the events in which they competed. They won in fine fashion, evoking the estatic ovations of the spectators.
Then the Kansas Relays began. The extraordinarily windy weather did not prevent almost a third of the population of Lawrence from coming to the stadium.
The sporting events were not the only reason why all the Americans with whom we met in Lawrence were excited. They were agitated by the problem of halting the arms race and the outbreak of a new war. The American people with the Soviet people: our peoples must live in peace and harmony – this was the basic idea of all those with whom we spoke.
