Opposing Iranian student groups clash at Union
By PENNI CRABTREE and MAJID ALI Staff Writers
Pro- and anti-Khomeini Iranian student groups clashed violently at the Kansas Union Saturday night in a 15-minute glass-throwing spree that involved the attack of one student and the beating of several others.
Akbar Akbari, 25, a Pittsburgh State University graduate student from Iran, was treated for a back wound at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released. Jim Denny, director of KU police on law enforcement campus, said his department had not yet determined the instrument used in the stabbing.
KU police said violence between the two student groups erupted at 7:45 m. when a pro-
Khomeini faction tried to force its way into a fifth floor room of the Union, where the Iranian Student Association was scheduled to hold a lecture on Iranian events.
POLICE SAID when ISA members who organized the event asked the rival group to attend, were excused.
Denney said no arrests were made, but police were investigating several suspects.
According to students and police, most of the students attending the lecture tried to escape through exit doors. Several sought refuge in a catering kitchen next to the meeting room, where they threw plates and glassware at their assailants.
"Then they just rushed into the room, swearing and striking at us. Most tried to run, but I was pulled to the floor and beaten in the face."
"It is absolutely false; they are giving false report," Cyrus Nasseri, an MSA spokesman, said. "We have no idea who could have done it either."
"There was broken glass, drops of blood and ash all over the place." Denney said. "They threw everything, ashtrays, cups and coffee pots."
power, if you measure power in guns and knives, and they will use them."
Several of the estimated 14 Iranian students who attended the ISA event said the disrupting group was composed mainly of Muslim Student Association (Persian Speaking Group) members. They were afraid to identify themselves or their attackers because of the threat of further violence.
Several students who attended the meeting said Saturday's violence was just one clash in many that had occurred between the two groups recently.
Another similar incident happened Wednesday afternoon, when alleged MSA (PSG) supporters tried to overturn a table of anti-Khominihe that was being distributed in front of the Union.
"This will surely occur again," one Iranian student said yesterday. "These people have
DURING TING incident, students who manned the table said the MSA (PSG) supporters托起 the literature and chanted in the room. "We kill people and that is the right thing to do."
"I was not pro- or anti-Khomeni; I just came to hear the lecture." the student said
ONE STUDENT, who had been beaten by a teacher, and students, said he came to the meeting out of curiosity.
"Several of the students who tried to destroy the pamphlets and posters we had on that table were at the meeting Saturday night," a junior from Tehran said. "They are very angry over events in Iran, the assassinations and bombings. They try to force us to believe as they do, but people can see the ugly face of their beliefs through incidents like this."
A spokesman for the MSA (PSG), after first denying that his group knew anything about Saturday's clash, said reports that his group participated in the violence were false.
"I was waiting for the meeting to begin and I said, 'Why are you arguing at the door with some of the ISA people?'

Fullback duty unsettled sophomore talent returns
By JIM SMALL
Sports Writer
In poker terms, the KU football team's offensives backfield is one card short of a fumigation.
With the return of last season's standout freshmen, Kernin Bell and Frank Seurer, Head Coach Don Fambrough has nothing to worry about at the tailback and quarterback positions. The question mark is in the fullback slot.
"THE FULLBACK situation is really unsettled," Fambour said. "We don't have that big fullback that you like to have."
What the Jayhawks do have is 5-foot-10, 190-pound senior Walter Mack. Mack played tailback for the Jayhawks last season and will be the first time in his college career this year.
"I (playing fullback) is going to be a challenge," said Mack, who was KU second-leading rusher a year ago with a 6.0-yard average per rush. "There's a lot of contact at the fullback spot. But I am taking to take some pain if I can give som out."
5 six-foot-1, 200-pound junior Brad Butts and 6-1, 210-pound sophomore E. J. Jones
"The fullback spot is definitely lacking experience," offensive coordinator John Hadl said. "Brad Butts looks good as a backup, but he's not real big. E.J. Jones simply lacks the experience to be a good fullback."
ALTHOUGH THEY will not start, Butts and Jones will see action at the fullback position because Mack is too small to play an entire game, Fambridge said.
"Walter Mack is a good blocker and a good technique ballplayer," he said, "but I don't think we can use him 40 minutes a game. We'll have to use him sparingly."
Part of Mack's duties will be to block for Bell, last year's Big Eight Newcomer of the Year.
Bell rushed for 1,144 yards last season, a Big Eight record for a freshman, and was the nation's second-leading freshman runner behind Georgia's Herschell Walker. Bell was the nation's 13th-leading rusher with a 4.9-v average per rush.
Backing up Bell will be 6-1, 205-pound sophomore Garfield Taylor
FAMBROUGH SAID that Taylor was a few steps away from becoming a great running back.
"Garfie Taylor has great skill, speed and size, but he doesn't have that mental toughness to be an outstanding back," he said. "We will be one outstanding running back."
The offense, which gained a third of its total yardage in the last air season, will lift off in March.
The increase in passing pleases Seurer,
who completed 64 of 148 attempts for 797
repeats, was 25% greater than that
of the previous year.
"A QUARTERBACK always wants to throw the ball more," he said. "We have a lot of talent and the personnel to throw the ball when we want to."
Backing up Seurer will be 6-0, 185-pound senior Steve Smith.
"STEVE GIVES US a solid backup quarterback." Hadl said. "Steve gives us a different perspective with our offense and operates a little better in the option. If good about the situation because I know we have two good quarterbacks."
