Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
By United Press International
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadhy 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."
Khadify, in an interview broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp. and NBC News, also made veiled threats against Britons who 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 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. TRAIAK, the Libyan news agency, said men expressed a "common desire to deal 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 or police sharkshooters and anti-terrorist militia.
"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 country. Many 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 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 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 Syria and threatening revenge "beyond limits" 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.
Panel appro

The Student Senate University Affairs Committee last night approved a petition asking the Kansas Union Memorial Board to include a fast-food restaurant in its planned renovation of Upson.
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. The committee voted to accept the petition for a franchise on the third floor of the Union.
r"TACEK, WHO HAS been negotiating with Burger King and McDonald's since October, said that a fast-food restaurant in the Union would be more sustainable. "Union's business by bringing in more students."
he also said profits from the restaurant possibly could be used to offset the price of hotels.
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
EMPERORIA — 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 said.
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. Budig in February approved the KU policy, and thus 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

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 students.
OONE of THOSE faculty students, Stephen ADDIS, associate professor of art history, will probably be scouring the temples and museum 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.
Before they pack their bags, however, faculty members must go through an extensive application process to gain ap-

tional companies be permitted to enter the retirement program, which now is limited to TIAA-CREF, the Teachers Insurance and College Retirement Funds Association.
The subcommittee is to reconsider its proposal because none of the three recommended companies, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, Lincoln National, and Unimmutual, have any approval.
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 during the discussion of the retirement plan.
Talented 'Norway connection' supplies KU

The "California connection" was established five years ago when the KU football team began signing players from that state. Now, the KU women's track team has created its own talent pipeline, which could be called the "Norway connection."
Three Jayhawk track athletes — Stine Lerdahl, Kari Haggy and Anne-Grethe Baeraes — are from Norway. Lerdahl and Hagdy came to KU in the fall of 1980. Baeraes, the most recent addition, joined the Jayhawks last fall.
Lerdahl, a junior from Livenstad,
Norway, and Hagby, a junior from
Drammen, Norway, concentrate on the
shot-up and discus. Baeraas, a freshman
from Braskereifoss, Norway, specializes in
the lavielin.
A CO-CAPTAIN of this year's team, Lerdahl broke her own outdoor school shot-put record by winning the event at the Texas Relays for the second year in a row with a put of 50 feet $^{5} \frac{1}{4}$ inches. However, that mark is not her personal best. She put the shot 51-4 last summer at a meet in Europe.
Lerdahl has been a steady performer for the Jayhawks the last three seasons. Besides her two victories at the Texas Relays, she also won the shot-put at the KU Relays in 1882. Surprisingly, Lerdahl is one of the high school track and field experience.
"We don't have sports in high school in Norway," Lerdahl said. "We have track clubs that you can start in whenever you do, but you have to do it outside of school."
LEDRAHL COMPETED for Club Minerva in Norway and was five-time Norwegian Junior Champion and two-time Norwegian Senior Champion in the shot-put. She returns to her home every summer and competes in meets across Europe with the Norwegian National track team.
Even though Lerdahl won the shot-at the 1982 KU Relays, she said that she was hoping to improve on a disappointing performance at last year's meet. Lerdahl placed third at last year's relays with a toss of 47-10%. Last year's champion, Pinky Suggs of K-State, will be competing again this year.
Lerdahl, who studied English in high school, said that she had never been to the United States before 1980 but that she had always wanted to go to college in the United States. She added that, although she had English in high school, it didn't help her learn slang terms, some of which she still has trouble with.
Leraldh and Hagby knew each other before coming to KU and played a part in bringing Baeraas to Kansas by pointing his emphilations in Norway to the KU coaches.
When Lerdahl left Norway she was the No. 2 ranked shot-putter in her country, but she has since improved and is now Norway's No. 1 shot-putter. Being ranked at the top in her country allows her to compete in European meets against the best pitcher from both of which she still more than five feet from qualifying for the Olympic Games.
"I CAME TO KANSAS because they offered me a scholarship and because they have a good journalism school," Lerdahl said.
"IM LOOKING FORWARD to it," Lerdahl said.
Lerdahl said that the winning throw this year would probably be over 50 feet and mentioned Kansas State's Suggs as one of the competitors that would challenge he
Lerdahl is majoring in broadcasting and said that she would either return to Norway after she graduates or work in the United States for a few years.
