Posts in Iran may await Khomeini supporters at KU
By CATHERINE BEHAN Staff Reporter
Hassan Ghafoort-Fard was like many doctor candidates at the University of Kansas. He was quiet, studied hard and was involved in campus organizations.
But unlike many students, he went home to the present and elected third in the present elections the Oct. 11
"There was certainly no indication that he would be doing what he is now—namely that he would be in politics," Ray Ammar, professor of health and women's doctoral committee chairman, said yesterday.
"He was a quiet person, a good student and a very religious person. He was a big wheel in the car."
Ghafoori-Fard's Muslim activities, his religious activities, might be the reason he has the high position of energy minister in Iran, according to members of anti-Khomini groups
"Religion and politics are not two different things in Iran. I guess every organ is both political and religious," said Mohamed Ali, an analyst at KU who asked not to be further identified.
Ghaffort-Fard was president of the Muslim Student Association in the 1973 to 1974 school year, and it was the Muslim Student Association (Persian Speaking Group) an offshoot, but now separate group from the MSA, that stormed a meeting of an anti-Khomeini group Sept. 12.
The MSA(PSG) is a pro-Khomeni group and four of its members have been charged with disorderly conduct and battery in connection with the fight in which one man was stabbed.
Two of the men, Amir Kekrgoo, 329 Pinece St. and Stiaz Khaghavi, 100 Haskell Ave. face deportation hearings next week on charges that they did not maintain their foreign student status by carrying 12 credit hours at an accredited university.
"People who work against anti-Khomeni groups will probably get a good job like working in the Revolutionary Guard or being a foreign minister," he said.
Ali said students who support Khomeini, especially by using violence, could help those students obtain high positions in the government in Iran.
Mohamed EI-Hodiari, professor of economics and former faculty advisor of the MSA said, "He is one of the most active staff on the Kansan is worth a lot to them. It's worth a lot of good stuff in Iran, they will be heroes."
"It's always nice to support the government in power," he said.
But, Ali said, if students demonstrated against the Khomeini regime, they might not be able to go back to Iran at all.
Sharokh Azeedi, spokesman for the anti-Kommihan Irian Students Association, said that for students who did not support the election, they should just say there is no prison, no anything, just execution.
All said he was afraid to go back to Iran because he thought pro-Khomeini students have sent his name and his picture back to Iran and he might be executed when he got there because of his support of the Mojhaeddin, a Marxist terrorist group in Iran.
"It is a very tense situation in Iran and it is
for us to take action executed if I go
through legal procedures." Ok, yes.
He said one legal way to enter the country was to fly there, but three Iranian students studying in Australia returned to Iran this autumn and did not leave the airport.
"Three students were taken off the plane and interrogated in the airport and were executed there because they were supporters of the Mojahaedin in Iran," he said.

Sixth in a 30-year string
Sixth in a 30-year string Latest model ID will debut in weeks
By SHARON APPELBAUM Staff Reporter
For $15, 100 students will be able to buy a new ID, complete with a picture and KU insignia.
KU students will be able to scrap their temporary student identification cards within two or three weeks, Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said yesterday.
The new cards, which are the sixth KU ID since the 1950s, replace those issued in 1979 that were similar to credit cards but didn't have pictures.
Those cards, the vision of former Chancellor Archie Dykes, were intended to be University-wide ID cards that could be used in Kansas Medical Center or at Watson Library.
BUT THE ID was fraught with problems from the beginning, and distribution was delayed.
Students finally could pick up their cards
from the deck and he had about 8,000
idets left at the year's end.
In addition, faculty members who gave examinations to large classes complained that cheating was easy with IDs without pictures.
"From the minute we had them, they said,
'Hey, we got to get a picture on it,'" Dyck
said.
Last fall, no IDs were issued, so this year's freshmen and sophomores, as well as those who lost their permanent IDs, were issued temporary paper IDs.
THESE PEOPLE would be required to buy
the new IDs, but Dyck said those who still own a credit card* model could keep using the old ID.
Dykes' workers will set up shop in the South and Kansas Unions to distribute the IDs.
Students must sign the ID card and have their pictures taken. Each picture will be
placed in slots on the cards, and the student's computer can read it will be attached next to computer can read it.
The card then will be fed through a laminator, and presto—the new card will be reread.
Dyck said the $1.50 charge should cover the $2,469 cost of the new equipment, including timers, laminators, film, cameras and a picture cutter.
THE UNIVERSITY of Kansas bought three

two for the Lawrence campus.

cards, Dyck said. The money would also be used to buy new equipment.
Cameras will be set up on the stage in Hoe
auditorium for spring enrolment. After that,
cameras will be set up at other venues.
Although those who still have permanent IDs are not required to purchase new ones, many University officials who must deal with said they hoped students would get them $900.

"With the new IDs you can wand in the ID number and the chance of error is very slim," she said. "But when it's done by hand, the number of putting in the wrong number is greater."
"We'll be really glad with the new ID's. It'll be much more efficient for people checking out books. It takes that little extra time to do it. Now number. We can just whip through it."

WICHTIA—Chancellor Gene A. Budig will recommend to the Kansas Board of Regents at its meeting here this morning that the new library at the University of Kansas Medical Center be named the Archie Dykes Library of Sciences, in honor of KU's 13th chancellor.
Dykes was KU's chancellor from 1973 to 1980. He resigned Aug. 15, 1980, and is now the chief executive officer of Security Benefit Life Insurance Co., Topeka.
Dykes said he was honored by the recommendation.
"I'm real pleased and honored by it," he said.
"I'm pleased that the Regents have seen to fit you."
Dykes said he also was happy about the building selected to be named for him.
During his tenure as chancellor, Dykes developed a stable financial base for the Med Center while overseeing construction projects in Chicago. He was also bringing to Rick von Ende, secretary of the University.
"TM PLEASED that it's the library at the Med Center." he said. "I did a lot of work there."
Von Ende also said that the Med Center's enrollment increased dramatically during Darden's time.
One million dollars in revenue bonds and $250,000 in private donations are being used. The remainder of the cost will be paid by a state appropriation. Nitcher said.
The naming of the library highlights Dykes' 28-year career in public education, which began in 1952 when he began teaching history at Church Hill School. He then received his master's degree in education from
Kevin Kithner, University director of business affairs, said construction of the three-story building on the campus was the biggest project he has ever worked on.

Bob Bingaman
ASK executive director announces his resignation
By MICHAEL ROBINSON
Staff Reporter
Bob Bingaman, Associated Students of Kansas executive director, announced his resignation y-sterday, citing personal and professional interests as his reasons.
In a letter received yesterday by the ASK campus director, board members and the student body presidents of each ASK institution, Bingaman said that he would stay on as long as necessary to train a new executive director.
The resignation came at a time when the statewide student lobby group was beginning to come to grips with organizational problems and complaints from some of its members.
In fact, following a committee meeting Wednesday night, Bingaman told several ASK board members and student body presidents to examine restructuring ASK.
"I suspect it was coming, but I didn't think it was going to be this abrupt," said Dan Cunningham, ASK campus director for the University of Kansas. "It's time for Bob to move on."
CUNNINGHAM SAID that he did not think
in controversy over restructuring ASK had
been wrong.
"I believe that I have reached a point both personally and professionally that indicates that it is time for me to resign," Bingaman said in his letter.
Bingaman was in Nebraska last night attending a United States Student Association board meeting and was unavailable for comment. But there was no indication in the email that he was because of ASK's recent trouble. He pointed out that he supported restructuring nproposals.
He did not, however, elaborate on what personal and professional interests had happened to his business.
"I am personally committed to working for many of the restructuring proposals that have
been discussed over the past several weeks," the Letter said. "I believe that we, as an organization, must continually remain responsive to our student constituency.
"As an organization, we must remain flexible and dynamic."
ONLY LAST WEEK, Bingaman helped guide an ASK funding fee successfully through the Kansas State University Student Senate.
And at the ASK restructuring committee's second meeting, the committee had reached a consensus on nearly all its proposals to change the organization.
The committee had tentatively agreed to give the student body presidents of the seven ASK schools the power to call an ASK board on request. The ASK board had passed within a 10-day period.
The proposals approved by the committee also specified that ASK board members should consult with their student body on issues before seven days prior to taking action on an issue.
"All the schools got involved and everyone was contributing," said Maria McDougal, ASK board member from KU. McDougal had earlier expressed opposition to some proposals for change. "It was really a lot more positive than the other meeting."
"I don't think anybody can say Bob didn't put 100 percent effort and 100 percent faith into ASK," she said. "I'm sympathetic and I understand his reasons for resigning."
THE PROPOSALS will go before the ASK Board of Directors Oct. 25 and must be finally approved by the ASK Legislative Assembly Nov. 13 and 14.
McDougal said that Bingaman would be missed, but she felt that ASK would survive.
"The new executive director will have to learn the ASK routine in Topeka and at all the universities," she said. "It's going to take some time."
Coleman 'suppresses' ballot bill
By MICHAEL ROBINSON
Staff Reporter
A Student Senate committee chairman last night charged Student Body President Bert with trying to protect Greek interests by blocking a bill passed in dealing with balloons during Senate elections.
But the Student Senate Executive Committee thwarted Coleman's efforts at its meeting last night by voting to consider the bill at a special Senate meeting scheduled for next Wednesday.
“Through his activities, he's not acting like a student body president, but more like an IFC president,” Loren Busy, Finance and Auditing Director at the Student Body president. Student body president should suppress anything.
Coleman said earlier this week that he opposed two bills that would specify the locations of jokes because they were an attack on "campaign affiliated" living groups by off-campus students.
COLEMAN SAID he would veto the bills if Senate nassed either one of them.
Busby said that the next regularly scheduled
That would not give Senate an opportunity to review Coleman's vet of he did so, Bussy said.
Senate meeting would not be until Oct. 28, seven days after the presidential and vice president filing deadline and only two days before the filing deadline for senators.
The StudEx meeting was called by Bren Abad, student body vice president, despite the fact that the study group was not involved.
"If people are taking it personally, that's their problem." Berner said.
TOM BERGER, graduate student senator and one of the authors of the two bills, said that they were intended to balance the availability of ballot boxes for students.
Adkins said, "I think his intent is to delay consideration of the bill. I do not know for sure."
THE OTHER BILL. Bill 021 would have taken bad boxes out of all living groups during the pandemic.
"We notified Bert about the meeting and he totally objects," Abbott said when the StudiEx meeting began. "I told him I'd tell you, and I told you."
He said that Coleman "would prefer that a Student Senate meeting not be scheduled."
The bill in question, Bill 022, is one of two that were written to specify the locations of ballot boxes during Senate elections.
David Adkins, StudEx chairman, said he had spoken to Coleman by telephone because Coleman was in Wichita for the Board of Regents meeting.
That bill was defeated by Senate Wednesday night despite its favorable recommendation to a bipartisan vote.
Bill 022 calls for placing ballot boxes at locations around the city frequented by students, as well as having boxes in fraternities, sororites, scholarship halls and residence halls.
Because of a quorum call, the Senate had to adjourn and could not deal with Bill 022 Wed.
"It's a very important issue and it needs to be settled as soon as possible." Mark Holloway, editor.
Adkins also announced that because he was running for student body president, he would be the sole representative.
"I would hate to get that in the way of others who might run for office," he told StedEx.
Adkins said that his resignation would be effective Nov.1.
