Officials investigate status of suspects
By LILLIAN DAVIS Staff Reporter
Two Iranian men arrested Friday on charges stemming from a clash at the Kansas Union may not have maintained their immigration status, or to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
"We have reason to believe that both men are in violation of the law," George Geil, Kansas City district director of the INS, said yesterday. "I can't believe either is enrolled in 12 credit hours."
Alien students must be enrolled in 12 credit courses and received university to remain in the country. GelidaJ
KU police arrested Amir Erkkogrgo, 24, 232 Pinecone Drive, and Siziah Khagavi, 26, 180 Haskell Ave., Friday night in connection with a student visit to the factions of Iranian students at the Union Sept. 17.
The men are thought to be part of a pro-Khomeini group that stormed into a meeting of anti-Khomeini supporters, throwing ash trays and kicking pots, and injuring one student, KU police said.
HOWEVER, GEIL SAID the INS was not even sure who the Doulas County jail officials were
detaining on the immigration hold the INS has issued.
"We have specific identification and records on both men, but we really don't know who we are."
Mike Malone, Douglas County district attestor, and Khagui also went under the name of Svavala.
Gell said he guessed that INS officials would be sent to Lawrence he. Waid no one was sent yesterday because the INS could not enter into a carriage and set an arrangement and set a preliminary hearing data.
ZEKRGOO AND KHAGAVI were arraigned yesterday afternoon in Douglas County District Court. Born remained at $1,800 for Khagavi and Kendall, who were charged with disorderly conduct and battery.
When INS officials arrive, Geil said, anything from a departmental hearing to deportation plans has been reported.
"We are just going to have to wait and see what the situation is like when we get there,"
Geil added that although the men were on an immigration hold at the moment, the INS had the power to set another bond if it felt it was necessary.
"This situation could indicate we will do just that," Gell said.
Game will be televised; kickoff moved to 11:30

The Kansas football team is being rewarded for its 4-0 start.
Saturday's KU-ARKanas State contest will be regionally reviewed. See Bob Marcum, "KU-ARKanas system," published system.
The broadcast, however, will move kickoff time from 1:30 p.m. to 11:30 a.m.
“It's good for the program and the community,” said Marcum of the telecast. “They called me about 10:20 a.m. They discussed it on Saturday night and again Sunday.”
THE JAYHAWKS' game is the first half of ABC's Saturday afternoon double-breaker. The second game will feature Big Eight rival Missouri against Mississippi State at Jackson.
Marcum said the telecast, which will be KU's first television appearance since the 1975 season, was Sports Information Director Sid Wilson's idea.
"Sid suggested this game a couple of weeks ago," Marcum said. "They originally talked about the Kentucky game and named Arkansas State as the alternative."
ARKANSAS STATE last appeared on television two years ago in a 13-9 loss to Southwest Louisiana. The Indians are 2-1 this season.
Kansas and Arkansas State each will receive $400 for the appearance, but the money will not be taxed.
"The money goes to the Big Eight Conference and is divided up." Marcum said. "But with
Missouri playing too, that's $800,000 for the conference."
John Bernstein, NCAA media director for ABC, said that the reasons for choosing the Chicago Bulls are the team's financial health.
"In all honesty, it's a purely regional weekend," he said. "There is not any one major game. We're going 10 regional games. We didn't have our last game last week in the first half of the double-header."
"We're watching Kansas, too. It's rare that they are undefeated. Arkansas State is really the benefactor of KU's fine record. But the motivating factor is that the game will fill a legitimate regional competition and will be of interest."
BERNSTEIN ALSO announced the play-by-
play and color commentators for the game,
the game of chess.
"Steve Grad (KMBZ-TV) will do play-by-play and Darrell Royal will provide color," Bernstein said. Royal formerly coached the Texas Longhorns.
The broadcast area includes Kansas and Oklahoma, northwestern Arkansas, the panhandle of Texas, eastern Colorado, southern Illinois and Kentucky and part of Mississippi.
"I was really pleased with what Donn Bernstein said," Marcum said. "He said, 'You people are 3-4 and you've worked hard. You deserve to be on.'"
Head Coach Don Fambrough agreed.
"we feel honored to be on TV," Fambrough said. "it's been some time. It is n't reward for us having it."
Budig, faculty discuss need for increased library funds

"A university is no greater than its library," Chancellor Gene A. Budig said yesterday after meeting with some faculty members about the future of the library.
University of Kansas now is ranked 22nd in materials available, he said, and 25th in per capita given.
"We have an acquisition budget for both books and periodicals," he said. "Inflation is at 15 percent for book and periodic prices, but our budget is increasing at 7 to 8 percent."
"The library has problems with space, with serial and book acquisition and with the total spending of the library," said Ronald Francisco, a science and chairman of the library committee.
James Seaver, professor of Western Civilization and history, said that if $1 million were given to the library, it could be one of the top ten state libraries in the nation. The
Robert Cobb, executive vice cancellor, and Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, attended the meeting along with two members of the University Senate library committees.
Jim Kanz, dean of libraries, was more worried about keeping the library at its present level.
"We have a strong library but its future must be protected, and its needs must be addressed."
The group stressed the importance of increased funding for the library.
The library informed faculty and administration of its situation, and a $90,000 budget.
John Davidson, professor of physics and astronomy, said he was pleased with the award.
"He is one who understands the needs and importance of a library."
"Last year we were going to have to cancel 2,000 serials."
"I think the chancellor had a good grasp of the situation," he said. ___
The counselor had said in his inauguration speech that he realized the importance of the library system and ranked it second only to faculty salaries.

The chairman of the "Wheat Meet" charity fund-raiser threatened a KU official with legal action yesterday, claiming that University students had taken a contract to supply power to the event.
Thomas Anderson, facilities operations director, said Wheat Meet chairman Jeff Sharp called him yesterday and threatened to sue the University of Kansas to pay for damaged sound equipment caused when power was disconnected.
Sharp refused to comment last night on the possibility of a lawsuit against the University but claimed facilities operations broke a contract to occupy the outdoor party until midnight last Saturday.
About $700 damage may have been done to sound equipment owned by Pyramid Sounds of Lawrence when an electrical generator was struck, causing midnight, as was originally agreed. Sharp said.
However, Anderson said the group did not have a contract, but only an estimate of costs projected to keep a generator at the party until midnight.
"If they want to hold us to our end of paying for it," Sharp said, "then they should deliver on their end."
Anderson not only contended there had been no binding agreement, but he also said he doubted the equipment had been damaged.
The problem began at about 10 p.m. Saturday, Anderson said, when the sponsors, Alika Kappa Lambda fraternity and Chi Omega sorority, requested the music continue past the 11 p.m.
"I am sure nothing happened to that equipment because of the loss of power," Anderson said. "Nothing can happen to that equipment if it was not properly designed, and could have been damaged was with a power surge."

Final figures Enrollment declines by more than 450
Staff Reporter
BY SHARON APPELBAUM
For the first time in several years, KU enrollment did not set a record, although the decline amounted to only 28 students on the Lawrence campus.
However, the number of students studying off campus declined from 2,333 to 1,885, a drop of 448 students.
In addition, the totals within some of the individual schools have changed radically.
Enrollment figures
Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, said the on-campus decline might be because of increased admission standards in the schools of Business, Education and
The number of students attending the Lawrence campus stood at 22,105 on the 20th day of classes, 28 fewer students than the 22,133 attending last fall.
The Kansas Legislature uses the totals to determine how much money the University
The figures are based on the official head count for the University and were released yesterday. The office of admissions and records compiled the figures.

ONLY A SMALL NUMBER of the students who were suspended for low grades last spring were readmitted to the college, Dyck said.
There also were fewer high school graduates. he said.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig said he was
peased with the figures and said the off-campus deline was not surprising.
"More than half of the drop is directly attributable to special, one-time registrants who were meeting state requirements for teacher certification," he said.
A FEDERAL LAW that went into effect this month requires teachers to learn about handling exceptional students in the regular classroom, whether the students be gifted or mentally retarded, said Claudia Orton, office manager for the School of Education.
She said that information was offered in other courses but that a special class was formed for teachers who had already graduated and needed re-certification.
"All the teachers getting renewed created a false bubble." Dvck said.
WHILE OVERALL off-campus enrollment declined, more students enrolled at the College of Health Sciences in Kansas City, where at the KU School of Medicine in Wichita.
The deans of the various schools attributed part of the changes in their school's enrollments to changed admission requirements
For example, many students had to stay in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and take more classes before they would be admitted to the School of Business.
KU budget based on student population
By LISAMASSOTH Staff Represent
Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas revolves around numbers.
The number of students enrolled and the number of credit hours generated help determine the number of dollars KU receives each year from the Kansas Legislature.
KU's budget is determined by formula funding -budget requests made on the basis of total number of credit hours generated at the University.
AFTER THE UNIVERSITY completes its budget proposal, the Board of Regents adjusts it and then the governor must approve it. Finally, the request goes to the Legislature, which allocates the money to Regents institutions.
The number of students enrolled indirectly indicates the number of credit hours required at UI.
is divided by the number of credit hours that equates to 300 credits. This is the total number of PTF students at KU.
So if 315,000 credit hours are generated,
there are 21,000 FTE students.
A full-time equivalency student is the unit used to determine number of credit hours. An FTE student is one who takes 15 credit hours. The total number of credit hours being taken
Last year, KU had 21,993 FTE students.
This year's total should be released today.
The University gets an enrollment adjustment each year based on the number of FTE students enrolled. However, if enrollment changes less than one and a half percent, no adjustment is made. If the number goes up or down more than one and a half percent, the Legislature makes an adjustment in the amount of money it allocates KU.
Analysis
THE NUMBER OF FTE students changes
to year, requiring changes in
budget estimates.
Of course, students and credit hours are not the only things the Legislature looks at when reviewing them.
The amount of money allocated varies from year to year depending on factors such as faculty salary increases and increases in staff compensation. The Ende, executive secretary to the chancellor.
It also depends on the amount of money available to appropriate, he said.
"Last year was not as good a year as previous ones," von Ende said. "The system has been used for keeping enough reserve so when federal budget cuts hit there would be a pool."
THE LEGISLATURE kept $25 million in reserve to offset federal outlays, he said.
When the Legislature pores over budget requests, surrounded by numbers and data, simply knowing the number of FTE students at KU is not enough. The Legislature must make changes to the budget so that students are taking, because some classes are more expensive to teach than others.
"Different disciplines cost different amounts of money," research of the Board of Regents.
For example, fine arts classes are more expensive to teach than chemistry, said Gli
