Libya demands that Britain end embassy siege
Protesters threaten to seek out revenge on Britons in Libya
LONDON — Col. Moammar Khadiyah 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 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.
In the interview, Khadifa blamed Britain for the shooting on Tuesday, which prompted authorities to surround the Libyan Embassy in police sharptofters and anti-terrorist units.
OLIVER MILES, the British ambassador in Tripoli, yesterday met the head of the Libyan Foreign Ministry, Abdulssaul Traiki, JANA, the Libyan news agency, said them 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."
The British government had been waiting since Wednesday night for a response to a formal request for permission to enter the United States, 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.
A FOREIGN OFFICE official talked late Wednesday to the newly appointed chief of the Libyan mission, Mufafi 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 visit Iraq.
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 a fight' 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.

EMPIORIA — A section of a KU policy that outlines steps for the administration to take when cutting academic programs is unclear and Committee Board of the Regents committee decided westernday.
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 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 he established 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
In the next academic year, several faculty on sabbatical are likely to be traiping all over the world researching such topics as *The Lost Treasure* 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.
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.
Yesterday, the Board of Regents approved a KU recommendation to grant sabbaticals to 48 kU students.
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 Company, Nabank National, and Unionmutual, Kering Equities.
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 in Chicago.
