2 Iranians apprehended for Kansas Union clash
KU police arrested two Iranian men Friday night, charging them with disorderly conduct and battery in connection with the clash between students and student factions. Sept. 12 at the Kansas Union.
Khagavi also went by the name Syavash Khatej, police said.
The two men, 24-year-old Amir Zekrgor, 232 Pinecone, a KU senior, and 26-year-old Siiazah Khagavi, 1600 Haskell, will remain in jail until immigration officials pick them up today, police

During the investigation, police detectives interviwed two witnesses who were able to identify several of the suspects. However, Malone said he was unable to file charges initially because the witnesses refused to go to court.
Mike Elwell, Douglas County district court judge issued a warrant Friday after Malone accused him of the two witnesses.
Clark Coan, director of Foreign Student Services, said he thought University officials would not take any action against the student arrested until the police and Immigration and Naturalization Service declared what their reaction would be.
However, David Ambler, viceancer for student affairs, said that the Iranian Student Association, the anti-Khomeini group that held the meeting, must pay $100 for the damages to the Union.
Arrests draw reactions from Iranian groups
By CATHERINE BEHAN Staff Reporter
Members of two opposing Iranian factions had widely divergent reactions at the news that two Iranian men were arrested Friday in connection with the recent fight at the Kansas Union.
"I'm very happy about it," Monsour Mojadaj, president of the anti-Khomeni Iranian Student Association, said yesterday. "I hope that will stop the violent activity."
But All Portadoust, supporter of the pro-Khomeini Muslim Student Association (Persian Speaking Group), was not happy about the arrests.
"The (ISA members) are lying," he said. "They were not involved in the incident." These people were not involved in the incident.
The two men, Amir Zekrogo, a KU senior, and
Fridal of disorderly conduct and bullying,
on charges of disobedience and bullying.
Police said they did not know whether Khagavi used his correct name because he gave them another name, Svavash Khajel.
Both men will be kept in custody until they are delivered to immigration officials today, police said.
the arrests stem from a Sept. 12 incident in which about 15 pro-Khomheme people tried to force their way into a room where members of the anti-Khomheme ISA were holding a meeting.
A fight broke out between the two factions, and one man was stabbed.
As a result of the incident, the ISA must pay $100 for the damage done to the room, according to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs.
Mojadid said he did not know whether the ISA would try to get the arrested men to reembribe him.
"I don't know if we'll ask them for the money."
he said. "It matters that they get scared and they might reduce their violent activities against the anti-Khomeini factions."
However, Fortadocust said the arrest would not help the ISA.
"It it'd help them to get back at us," he said.
"It will lust make trouble for them."
TO AVOID FUTURE violence between the two factions, the University has created a policy stating that the ISA must register open meetings 72 hours in advance with Student Organizations and Activities and discuss meeting arrangements with University officials.
Ambler said yesterday that he knew the arrests would be made Friday, but said the University would follow the Student Code in dealing with the arrested student.
"The Student Code indicates that the University will not take any action until the matter is resolved in court," he said.
Article 18 of the Student Code, as printed in the Timetable. "If the violation of the law occurs on campus and is also a violation of a published University regulation, the University may intervene." University interest is clearly distinct from that of the community outside the University."
In addition, the section states, "Ordinarily, the University should not impose sanctions if public prosecution of a student is anticipated or after enforcement officials have disposed of the case."
Although the University might not take action against the student, Portadout said he thought the MSA(PSG) should take action against the ISA.
"I believe MSA(PSG) should press charges against the ISA because they have accused them about something they haven't done and caused trouble for us in the past."

The room is like a toy store.
A three-shelf bookcase overflows with stuffed animals and teddy bears. The bunk bed isn't for sleeping. It is full of games, toys and Star Wars models. A shelf in the corner holds a stack of board games as high as the owner is tall.
At the foot of the television a lone Nike running shoe sits among some magazines and books.
Kneeling on the floor and rolling up the sleeping bag he prefers to a bed, Bucky Cox can keep it all in place.
"Have you ever seen so many toys in your life?" he asked and pulled out a toy ship from underneath some books. The heel of a matte leather shoe painted from beneath some other toys.
TO MOST 9-year-olds, shoes are just another thing to clutter a bedroom. But for this Lawrence schoolboy they are not play things. They are $40 super shock absorbers to protect his feet and legs from a weekly 70-pound pounding.

They taped Bucky climbing out of bed for the afternoon, training day—in the middle of the afternoon.
"They used special lights to make it dark and seem like morning," he said, carefully putting a toy sword in Luke Skwalker's toy that is that's funny, special lights to make it dark.
TELEVISION APPEARANCES are routine for Bucky. He has appeared on the "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite," on NBC's "Today Show" and "Kids World," and was somewhat exasperated by ABC's "That's Incredible" crew.

Visitors who used to escape University parking tickets are now stuck paying for them like everyone else, according to a new parking regulation.
The problem is, no one knows how that rule ever got passed.
OTHER MEMBERS said visitors from businesses and other universities would get a bad impression of KU with a ticket on their windshields.
"Once again at the University of Kansas, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing," George Worth, exofficio member of the university's executive committee, said at Friday's greeting.
No one on SenEx had heard of the rule until Laurence Rose, SenEx member and professor of law, said a legal aid client got a ticket for parking near Green Hall.
Rose said that in the past he could easily have clients' tickets repealed, but this year visitors

"If it was in the report, it was hidden well enough so nobody saw it," he said.
*With something that is that big a change, it will be hard to have the necessary effort to bring it to the attention of everyone.*
Rose said that none of the administrators he had talked to had heard of the rule.
"They'd be more anxious than anybody to have this thing rescinded." Worth said.

Oregon Trail surgeon's adventures come alive in Med Center speech
By Jo LYNNE WALZ Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
KANAS CITY, Kan—He was a surgeon who removed barbed iron arrowheads from patients and poured whiskey in their wounds as an anesthetic.
But he is, nevertheless, an example for University of Kansas Medical Center students to follow, former Med Center professor Mohsen Makhani, on Thursday to about 85 Med Center staff members.
The surgeon's name was Marcus Whitman, and he was born more than a century ago on March 26.
His medical practices, which included treating infectious diseases with cayenne pepper, may have been primitive compared to today, but were far advanced to medical treatment in the 1700s, when bleeding patients was the height of the medical arts.
ALTHOUGH NO PICTURES OF Whitman exist, Delph said that he was described as being
re looked more like a frontiersman than a doctor, and indeed, it was Whitman's journey to the Pacific Northwest to bring medicine and medicine to Syure Indians that established the Oregon Trail.
"The Whitman party proved to the world that the trip wasn't impossible, and this paved the way for future journeys."
He also said that Whitman's wife, Narcissia, he married to woman to make that trip, proving that the trip was a good one.
Delph said he discovered Whitman's story while researching the Oregon Trail, which had interested him since he was a child when his grandfather, who had been a scout on the Oregon Trail, told him stories about the Old West.
Whitman made four trips along the trail that he founded, Delph said.
FIRST ONE, he had to remove an
