"When I have gone to do something for the United States, I have been received with conditions," he said. "But when I have wished to go by my own I have been always rejected.
"In those cases in which I have been accepted provisionally, the U.S. authorities have written their charges against me in my passport in a case of theft and larceny and it, but only the U.S. Immigration agents can."
"In that way they are told I am a 'dangerous' person, but one who necessarily has to be provisionally accepted in the United States."
Author invited
The Colombian writer was invited last spring by the Latin American Student Association and the Center of Latin American Studies to give a lecture in September during the celebration of the bicentennial of the birth of Sebastián Vivas, the founder of his independence and liberator of six Latin American countries.
American students will celebrate it during the first week of September.
Although Bolivar was born July 20, KU's Latin
Charles L. Stansifer, director of the KU Center of Latin American Studies, said he wrote to Betancur asking him to intercede with García Marquez to make sure he would come to KU.
At the end of July, Betancur answered Stansfer, saying that Garcia Marquez would not be able to attend the celebration because the U.S. Embassy in Colombia had not given him a visa on other occasions in order to accept similar invitations.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez won the Nobel Prize in literature last year with his social novels about Latin American. He is the first Colombian writer to win the prize.
"Garcia Marquez considers that treatment not compatible with his dignity as a writer," Betancur said.
The State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs said Garcia Marquez's case would have to be reviewed in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, by the U.S. Embassy.
Computers
But University of Kansas officials say the University's academic and information systems computers would not be so easy to crack because they were created with access to the computers and their data bases.

Student data safeguarded
Rich Bireta, assistant director of technical services at the office of information systems, said it was technically impossible to gain unauthorized access through phone lines to the records of student information, financial aid, grades. University finance and other information stored in the information systems computer, an IBM.
Bireta said all of the about 220 terminals used to gain access to and to modify that information were linked directly to the information systems computer, rather than by phone lines, and that phone lines could not be used to give commands to rummage through or change the data base.
The information is further protected by a password system, which is reviewed weekly by
security managers in each department or office that needs access to the computer. Each operator has a certain password; that password may be granted access to a variety of categories of information, depending on what the operator needs to do with the data.
There are other safeguards that might be set up, Biretta said, such as the use of passwords that expire or a sign-on system that allows a limited number of guesses of the password. Also, the computer could effectively keep the caller on hold until the phone line was traced.
Bireta said the system was secure but that more safeguards might be added later.
"Every little bit helps," Bireta said. "We're not actively working on anything now but we may be in the next six months."
Much of the student data that is stored in the information systems computer relates to the office of educational services. The office of educational services, said he was confident that the KU computer that stored
grades and other personal information was safe from unauthorized access.
"The security system that they have developed there is a very good system." Dyck said. Dyck said that an additional level of security protected records of student grades in college and campus, only three can be used to change grades, and passwords are required even for those.
Passwords protect files
The security system for the Honeywell computer used by the Academic Computing Center can be tailored for the particular files and catalogs by each user who has a proper authentication code, said Wes Huber, manager of applications developed for the Academic Computer Services.
"One of the nicest features is that it provides a file system where users can establish any number of levels of fites and subcatagulates." We need to know the password at each level.
