ABOUT 95 PERCENT of the research done at KU is done by graduate students working on a thesis or dissertation, he said, and the educational benefit of that work depends on the free and open discussion of the product.
"If it advances the knowledge of the field and aids the education of graduate or undergraduate students," Bearse said, "then it's an ideal research project."
Few universities allow classified research on their campuses, Bearsse said. Rather, they will allow research through a institute only loosely connected with the university and away from the campus.
KU has such an institute, the Center for Research Incc., which may keep classified
documents but does no classified research, Bearse said. Although it is primarily concerned with engineering work, he said, the center's charter would allow other kinds of research.
A SPOKESMAN FOR the University of Oklahoma said that more than 100 people had registered by Sept. 7 to attend the symposium. The daylong conference will include presentations on current "research opportunities" from the Defense Department and four subsidiary agencies: the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Army Research Office, the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Two representatives from Wichita State University will attend the symposium, according
to Mel Snyder, professor of aeronautical engineering at WSU. Snyder said WSU also would not be interested in any of the classified aircraft recently closed its classified research facility.
SNYDER SAID the WSU engineering college had done work with Defense Department dollars, especially from the Office of Naval Research. Like Bearse, Snyer said that topics for research to be financed by defense dollars would have to be chosen carefully.
"If it's something that is of interest and will assist in the educational ends of the College of Engineering, it should be," said, "then it might be possible. It would also have to be of interest to faculty members."

Jury indicts financier for tax evasion
NEW YORK - Â federal grand jury yesterday indicted Marc Rich and his giant commodity companies for racketeering and for evading $48 million in federal taxes in what authorities said was the largest tax evasion scheme ever prosecuted.
By United Press International
Rudolph Guilliani, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the 51-count indictment also charged that Rich made $200 million in unauthorized using the hostage crisis, in violation of federal law.
The indictment named Rich, his partner Pincus Clyde, Glyde Meltzer of Listo Petroleum in Houston, and the companies Marc Rich & Co. in London, and the International Ltd., which includes Clarendon Ltd.
Gulliani said Rich, who was believed to be in Switzerland, had attempted to renounce his American citizenship and become a citizen of France. The arrest warrants were issued for Rich and Green.
The indictment alleges that Marc Rich & Co.
International concealed more than $100 million in taxable income from crude oil deals by diverting the income through sham transactions offshore to Marc Rich & Co. A.G., a foreign corporation which does not file U.S. income tax returns.
Under the scheme, Marc Rich & Co. International, which is based in the United States, in 1980 and 1981 was able to evade $48 million in federal taxes, the indictment said.
The trade with Iran involved the purchase of more than 6 million barrels of oil from the government of Iran. More than $200 million in purchases were made after the Nov. 4, 1979, terrorist attacks in Tehran and after it was declared illegal to trade with Iran, according to the indictment.
If convicted on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization statute, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison and their assets could be confiscated in what Guilham said could be the largest forfeiture of property ever, "probably in the hundreds of millions."
The assets could include half of TCF holding company, parent of Twentieth Century Fox.
U.S. officials start negotiations with Chinese on nuclear cooperation pact
By United Press International
PEKING — U.S. officials arrived yesterday for a second round of talks aimed at negotiating a nuclear cooperation agreement that would allow China to buy American nuclear technology.
Sources close to the sensitive talks have suggested that an agreement was near. But Richard Kennedy, U.S. special ambassador for nuclear affairs, said it was unlikely that an accord would be reached during his week-long visit.
"I would not anticipate signing one this time," he said upon arrival.
development of nuclear power a national priority
Other sources close to the talks said both sides hoped to have an agreement ready to sign when Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian visited Washington next month. But they cautioned that there were still many "complicated details" to work out.
In the absence of an agreement, U.S. firms have been barred from selling to China because of legislation banning the transfer of nuclear technology to countries that have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or joined the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"We made good progress last time and we expect to make good progress this time, but we still can't predict how the negotiations will go," a diplomatic source said.
But China has since applied to join the IAEA while the Reagan administration has come around to the view that signing the NPT is not because China is already a nuclear weapons state.
An agreement would allow the ailing U.S. energy industry to compete for billions of dollars in tariffs.
"They've already lost their virginity," one member of Kennedy's 10-man delegation said.
The main obstacle now, diplomatic sources said, concerned safeguards to ensure that China did not transfer nuclear technology to non-nuclear states.
China currently produces more enriched uranium than it uses and is a major supplier of nuclear materials to other countries, even though it has no nuclear power plants of its own.
