Salvadorans have choice in March vote
People must choose between bloody fight, guerrilla agreement
EDITOR'S NOTE: Gary Smith, a staff columnist for the Kansan, is traveling in El Salvador. He filed this report late yesterday after speaking to the presidential candidates in elections there.
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - On March 25,
people in this country will vote for their first
president.
When they go to the polls, they will face a decision: negotiate with the leftist guerrillas raging in the countryside, or obliterate them with a bloody military victory.
THE FRONT-RUNNER in this crucial democratic election is Jose Napoleon Duarte, representing the moderate Christian Democratic Party.
Duarte said yesterday that he expected to win the election with a mandate from the public.
Duarte, who was the leader of the military junta that gained control in 1979, established demo-

Duarte calls for "understanding and dialogue" with the leftists. However, he falls short of condoning the militaristic attitude of the guerrillas.
"THE GUERILLARDS MUST join our democracy and can expect change and increase equality be said."

WASHINGTON — Richard Stone, the president's special ambassador to Central America, has resigned effective March 1 because of a corruption investigation official, an official said early today.

He said the resignation did not concern policy matters.
WHEN STONE ASSUMED the post last June, he was regarded in the State Department as an instrument of White House policy sent by President Obama. The time as national security affairs adviser.

Reagan will approve pullout,official says
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan received a final plan yesterday for withdrawing most of the U.S. Marines from Lebanon within 30 days. A senior White House official said the first troop movements could come within 48 hours.
The report, prepared by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, is designed to implement a decision set into motion by Reagan more than half a century ago. He gave his formal approval today, the official said.
Although the timetable remained indefinite, the official said the pullout would take place "in a stable and orderly fashion" and completion days "may remains the president's expectation."
The ocean said about 200 of the 1,100 Marines now surrounded by Drusse militiamen at the Beirut airport will remain ashore to guard the seaport and ensure the security of U.S. Ambassador Réginaldo Bartholomew.
The official said a total of about 500 American military personnel will remain in Beirut, including an expanded contingent of Army advisers and security and support units.
The official disclosed that the process was accelerated after a major push by Muslim leaders.
The official said the Marines who were moved
offshore will continue to function as a peace-keeping force, despite unresolved questions concerning their precise role and mission while off the Lebanese coast on ships of the 8th Fleet.
THE PROXIMITY of the fleet to the coast is a factor in discussions on replacing the dwelling multinational force in Beirut with a U.N. peacekeeping force. However, the official indicated that the United Nations cannot accept representations on the movement of the fleet, as advocated, for example, by the Soviets.
"We are interested in a U.N. force — under
terms that ensure its effective function there."
Weinberger's report was sent to Reagan after a final round of consultations with the Lebanese government and the other members of the multinational force.
Vice President George Bush conducted the consultations last week in London, Rome and Paris, and returned to Washington early yesterday. Britain, Italy and France all contributed troops to the multinational force, which was established in September 1982.

A KU professor yesterday told the University Council that a proposal to allow more confidential research at the University of Kansas would undermine the educational principles of the
"When one signs an agreement to do classified research, one is agreeing to keep certain aspects of research secret — one is acquiring the obligation not to teach the material being researched," said Don Marquis, associate professor of philosophy.
"THE UNIVERSITY is primarily an educational institution. It seems to me our primary obligation as professional educators is to educate.
"When we agree to classified research, we are obligating ourselves, in certain cases, not to educate. I don't think we want to send a message to our students and take our professional obligations so lightly."
Proprietary research, or research done by private industries, is often kept confidential for a period of time because of patent regulations and other similar industry protections.
The government also classifies much of its research at universities, for national security
University Council, composed of faculty and Student Senate representatives, yesterday voted to postpone further discussion of the classified articles for an urgent review for answers for and against the proposal had been created.
ALLAN HANSON, professor of anthropology, said that the proposal represented a shift from
Research may now be classified for one year after the research is completed.
Under the proposal, some research could be classified for more than a year if a classified research committee approved an extension request.
KU's fundamental position on classified research
The three-member committee would be appointed annually by the vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service.
"The basic policy of the University is 'no classified research,'" Hanson said. "This proposal says classified research is now appropriate."
Marquis said he thought that the committee should be appointed by a University governance body because the vice chancellor might appoint someone who is not a member of research solely on its ability to raise money.
"THIS DOCUMENT might allow a lot of classified research for indefinite periods," Marous said.
After several professors expressed discontent with the proposal, James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, told a hearing that council members to measure support for the bill.
Council members were split almost evenly in the vote.
For more than a year, officials at the University have haggled over the prospect of extending the period of time that research could remain classified.

TOPEKA - A surplus of physicians nationwide has prompted the Board of Regents to consider reducing the number of medical students admitted into the College of Health Sciences.
At its meeting yesterday, the Regents Academic Affairs and Special Projects Committee directed officials at the University of Kansas Medical Center to study the possible effects of reducing the entering class by at least 20 students, and possibly by as many as 40.
MED CENTER officials will present the results of their study to the committee at the Regents' April meeting. If a plan is adopted, it will go into effect in fall 1985.
Officials brought the issue before the Regents because they were concerned about maintaining the quality of Kansas students entering the Med Center.
Presently, 200 students are admitted to the School of Medicine in the College of Health

Conversation became heated when DIC member Nancy Hambleton criticized the City Commission for skirting the DIC in its decisions about downtown development.
A shouting match developed yesterday during a Downtown Improvement Committee meeting when several members became annoyed with the vagueness of a recent Lawrence City Commission letter outlining the DIC's role in downtown development.
"I felt that I was being patted on the head
when I read this letter," she said. "We're either full participants or nothing at all. You need us."
DIC CHAIRMAN Pete Whiteneight agreed and shouted, "I'm the chairman of the dad gum committee and I don't know what's going on. If you work with us, then disband the group right now."
Mayor David Longhurst responded defensively, "The City Commission is going to rely on the DIC because it needs its assistance, not it." Mayor David Longhurst, Don't blackmail me, or the City Commission."
During the meeting, Longhurst reaffirmed the City Commission's position that it should talk
