Azied said, "I don't think I will get any better than those three people when I go back."
The solution for these Iranian students is to wait until the Khomeini regime is overthrown, as it has been announced.
But many Iranian students are not only unafraid of going back to Iran, but are looking forward to it.
"I would be delighted to go back to Iran. I miss it so much—my country, my people," Ali Portadoust, member of the pro-Khomeini MSA (PSG) said yesterday.
"They don't do any harm to anyone just because of what they think," he said.
Reza Shams, MSA(PSG) member, said,
"Everyone is able to get back to Iran. They tr at everyone probably the same, no one would bother them."
But, he said, "If they want to do more than they would treat like any other term."
"Maybe they (anti-khomeini students) do
don't learn anything because if they didn't,
they would not reason."
Med Center billing request endorsed
By LISA MASSOTH

TOPEKA—The Joint Interim Ways and Means Committee yesterday recommended "in the strongest possible terms" that the University of Kansas Medical Center receive the $250,000 it requested to update its antiquated billing system.
Problems with the current system are the admitting process, which will not permit a pre-registration procedure, and inaccurate reporting of hospital statistics.
The Ways and Means Committee's recommendation goes to the State Finance Council, which has the money, Richard von Rumpf, the secretary of the University, said yesterday.
said a recommendation of the new billing system went to Gov. John Carlin yesterday.
The State Finance Council will meet Nov. 6 to make its decision. Med Center officials also
The $250,000 was appropriated during the 1881 legislative session, but the Kansas Legislature approved it with a string attached, von Ende said. The money could not be released to the Med Center until it was authorized by the State Finance Council.
The committee was charged with deciding whether the new billing proposal warranted funding.
The council wanted to review the new billing system before handing over the money to finance it, he said.
Med Center officials decided to request bids from private computer services to update the center's billing system, rather than buy the computer software.
Tom Greeson, director of budget and physical affairs at the Med Center, said the center could probably develop its own billing system internally, but it would take too much time and could require complete conversion of its computer program.
Estimated costs for operating a shared system would be between $600,000 and $700,000. This cost would cover all patients involved in billing and admitting patients, offices said.
To avoid these problems, the Med Center officials have been adopting a shared system, where a microcomputer would be installed in the hospital and be linked to a larger computer in a central location.
Med Center officials said this annual operating cost could be offset by reductions in computer equipment and personnel.
