Grenada expels Soviet, Cuban and Libyan ambassadors
By United Press International
ST. GEORGE'S. Grenada — About 70 Soviet, Cuban and Libyan diplomats were expelled from Grenada yesterday and a fleet of transport planes stood by to fly hundreds of American paratroopers home, a U.S. military spokesman said.
Two C-9 Air Force planes with the diplomats aboard took off from Point Salines airstrip on the southwest tip of the island late yesterday, their destination believed to be Mexico, the spokesmen said.
An undetermined number of East Europeans and North Koreans who had taken refuge in the embassies also were believed to be aboard the flights.
Grenada's Governor-General Sir Paul Scoon Tuesday broke relations with the Soviet Union and announced that Grenada was no longer a member of the United Nations.
persona non grata.
personal horizons.
U.S. troops had surrounded the Cuban Embassy on Grenada, where 37 staff people were held up in defiance of Scoon's order for them to leave. The Soviet and Libyan Embassies were also ordered closed.
THE CUBANS HAD vowed that only U.S. troops using force would be able to expel them until some 600 Cuban prisoners of war and slain Cubans were repatriated. But an accord apparently was met and only one Cuban was reportedly left in charge of the embassy.
Cuban Col. Pedro Tortolo, who commanded Cuban resistance to the American-led invasion of Grenada Oct. 25, was thought to have found asylum in the Soviet embassy after his forces
Ten days after the U.S.-led invasion began, U.S. Army spokesmen said that as many as 2,300 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division would be flown home in the first wave of the pullout.
Army spokesmen in nearby Barbados said a fleet of C-141 transport planes was standing by to fly the paratroopers to their home base in Ft. Bragg, N.C.
At the Pentagon, Army officials said most of the remaining troops would leave Grenada in the next four days. They said the departure would begin tomorrow although an army spokesman on Grenada had said some troops would leave yesterday.
The officials also said there would continue to be an Army presence until the civilian administration had decided that all soldiers should leave.
About 1,900 Marines and 700 Army Rangers,
who joined the 82nd Airborne in the Oct. 25
invasion, have already left the tiny Caribbean
island, 1,900 miles south of Miami.
The Defense Department said 18 Americans were killed and 88 others were wounded since the attack.
Placeck said that charges made this week by Robert Walker, chairman of the Senate Rights Committee, proved that the Elections Committee was unjust.

Walker charged that members of the Priority Coalition had contacted Election Committee members to arrange for a motion last week that reversed an earlier ruling that allowed Kevin Walker and McKee to run for student body president and vice president. On Oct. 24, the election committee had agreed to allow the two candidates to be put on the ballot, but two days later reversed the decision.
Placeck said that Clark had also been contacted to help. Clark denied Placeck's

Walker on the ball."
Kevin Walker's and McKeen's appeal on Oct. 24 came after they were barred from filing on the Oct. 17 candidate deadline, because Kevin Walker could not verify his enrollment.
The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night disapproving of the hurried manner in which the committee reversed its decision, and added that the committee was operating legally.
"I saw last night's resolution as an affirmation of confidence in the Elections Commission."

suffering is.' I looked at the trip as an educational experience. I didn't go with a book in mind, though."
SHE SAID THAT the labor union Solidarity, the Communist Party and the Catholic Church were not mutually exclusive before mortal law was declared by the government Dec. 12, 1881, but that Poles were forced to choose between the party and the other two pillars of Polish life.
The situation was tense before and after martial law. Something of that nature had been expected. But this hit the Poles hard. The people were scared, even if the police were anonymous. It was the fact that their religion was
being taken away. From that point on, it was known if you went to church and when you went to church.
"It was so still after martial law. You saw beatings on the streets. And mail often came opened. The government, being of the Soviet bent, lives in a world where religion is called living in a stupid dream world."
AT ONE POINT, while trying to smuggle out some articles on Poland that she had written for an American magazine, Hebald was arrested for posting a message about her trip to West Berlin to mail the articles. As an
American professor visiting, she was allowed to travel outside the country.
She said that she was detained and stripped of $50 by the Polish border patrol because they had questioned her passport.
"The only reason they couldn't make a case that my handwriting was illegible, she said of her mother," he said.
She lived in a three-room apartment in Warsaw.
"It's a time of great joy when a young couple is allowed to get its own apartment. There is usually a wait of years for an apartment. You live with parents instead," she said.
SHE REMEMBERS THE day martial law was imposed.
"It was tense before that," she said. "The whole university of Warsaw shut down. The students, as a result, were very depressed. The reason of an education had been broken to them.
"A 10 p.m. curfew. No phone. No mail. They took away the citizens' liquor privileges. You didn't travel in threes and you didn't carry Solidarity literature. That would at least arouse interest. And they said, 'Why are things being getting worse since then, even after martial law was lifted.'"
SHE DESCRIBES THE book about Poland, which is untitled, as being "fiction based on fact."
“It’s a collection of memoirs by a fictional character,” she said. “It’s something that is hard to verbalize. It’s the story of desperate people who were so much, both under the Nazis and the Soviets.
"I had no predetermined thoughts when I went into Poland. I left not really ready to go back anytime soon. If the progress of the book reaches a certain level, I'll want it. But I'm not ready to go back at this point."
Reagan
not without cost," Reagan acknowledged, saying the 18 Americans killed and 89 wounded were "heroes of freedom."
Stressing that the operation was needed to rescue some 1,000 American on Grenada, Reagan said it also "saved the people of Grenada from repression and laid aside a potential threat to all people of the Caribbean."
"After viewing the massive hoard of "Soviet weapons found on that island, who knows what evil the liberation of these tanks in averted in the years ahead?" he asked
HE SAID THAT given the same circumstances — the need to protect Americans, coupled with an appeal for help — he would act the same. "But I
don't foresee any similar situation on the horizon."
Reagan, who rarely has displayed anger in public, flushed as he repelled to a comparison of the Grenade in 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
"Oh, for heaven sakes," he said. "Anyone who would link Afghanistan to this operation and incidentally I know your frequent use of the word invasion; this was a rescue mission — but in Afghanistan, if you will recall, when the Soviets installed their choice of weapons, there was no process in changing the forces there, an American ambassador was murdered."
gan apparently had his dates confused. U.S. Ambassador Adolph Dubs was killed in Kabul during a raid to rescue him from kidnappers in 1978 — more than a year before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1980, leading opposition from Afghan rebels.
IN RECITING THOSE events, Rea
In the case of Grenada, Reagan said,
"This was a rescue mission ... and the Grenadians that have been liberated are down there delighted."
Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes later told reporters that Reagan was in a "fiesty mood" yesterday.
"I don't get the feeling he's boastful about it or macho about it," he said, referring to the end of hostilities in Grenada.
First act of 'Hair' ends with surprise
By the Kansan Staff
The first act of the KU production of the musical "Hair" ended with a surprise last night.
A parachute grated like a jellyfish as the members of the "Hair" cast moved beneath it. As one man sang alone in the spotlight, the cast embraced the parachute and stood straight, proud and made in the shadows.
road productions have opted to keep cast members clobbed. However, the use of a minute of nudity exemplified an important message in the production, the KU show's choreographer said.
Although the original Broadway production contained nudity, many
"It's just a statement on the beauty of the human body," said Sandra Rivera, choreographer. "It's like a Rubens nainting."
Few gasps were heard as the living painting was unveiled on stage.
"I didn't even notice it," said Mindy Maggard, Lawrence resident.
"There was nudity?" she said.
"Oh, no, I missed something!"
ANOTHER AUDIENCE member agreed.
About 275 people attended night's showing of the musical, which addresses concerns of the 1960s
Before the show, there was some question as to whether cast members would appear nude during the production.
"Hair" will be shown again at 8 tonight and tomorrow in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre and also on Nov. 10, 11 and 12.
