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 one student and the beating of several others.
Akbar Akbari, 25, of 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 the Lawrence campus, said his department had determined the instrument used in the stabbing.
KU police said violence between the two student groups erupted at 7:45 p.m. when a pro-
Khominei 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.
Denney said no arrests were made, but police were investigating several suspects.
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. The students said they were afraid to go outside and attackers because of the threat of further violence.
POLICE SAID when ISA members who organized the event tried to stop the rival group.
ONE STUDENT, who had been beaten
after the meeting, said he came
to the meeting out of curiosity.
"I was not pro- or anti-Khomeni; I just came to hear the lecture," the student said.
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.
"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."
"I was waiting for the meeting to begin and I saw about 25 to 30 people arguing at the door with me."
power, if you measure power in guns and knives,
and they will use them."
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 assaults.
"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."
"There was broken glass, drops of blood and ash all over the place." Denney said. "They threw everything, ashtrays, cups and coffee pots."
Officers seize last 2 convicts
DURING THAT incident, students who manned the table said the MSA (PSG) supporters tote the literature and chanted in front of them. We kill people and that is the right thing to do."
Another similar incident happened Wednesday afternoon, when alleged MSA (PSG) supporters tried to overturn a table of anti-Khomeini that was being distributed in front of the Union.
“This will surely occur again,” one Iranian student said yesterday. “These people have
Several students who attended the meeting said Saturday's violence was just one clash in many that had occurred between the two groups recently.
"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."

Offensive line returns one starter
By JIM SMALL Sports Writer
David Lawrence will do a lot more than throw blocks for the KU football team this season.
Lawrence is the lone starter returning from last year's offensive line and is one of only two seniors on the line this season. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound co-captain will have to provide leadership for a very inexperienced line.
"THEY ARE BIG and talented, so they don't need my help on the practice field," Lawrence said of his teammates. "But I like to have them be in the situation when they might get the jitters."
Lawrence was accurate when he described the line as big. The average height for the linemen is 6-5 and the average weight is 243 pounds.
"All they need is to play a few games," Head Coach Don Fambroub said. They're big enough and quick enough, but the line and line will be better than last year's."
Lawrence is the model player to build an offensive line around.
After starting his career at light end,
awareness switched to guard two seasons
with the Rangers.
"DAVID GIVES UX exceptional play and leadership each and every play," Fambrough said. "That's needed with the old of young players on the team."
"I fully expect David to have an exceptional season because it's so important to him to be successful," offensive line coach Kent Stephenson said. "That, coupled with his physical toughness and ability, makes him an outstanding guard."

Although he wasn't a regular last season, Brown played well enough to be selected as a member of the Blue Chip Magazine Freshman All-American team.
"THIS YOUNG MAN has a tremendous career in front of him at the University of Kansas." Fambrough said. "He can be as good as he wants to be."
Wessling, described by Fambrough as one of the hardest workers on the team, saw little action last season. But Wessling's size and speed (4.9 seconds in the 40-yard dash) should help compensate for his lack of experience.
Ed Bruce, the starting center after spring drills, injured his knee during fall practice, but has come back to resume his starting position.
Six-foot-3. 245-pound Grant Thierolf backs up Bruce at center.
"He has made great strides," Fam-
berlin said. "It is a real good snupe,
and very fine ball games."
Despite their inexperience, Lawrence said the offensive line had an excellent performance.
"BEFORE, WE JUST talked about going out and kicking butt," he said. "But this year, we know we're going to do it."
Fambrough agreed with Lawrence's comments on the team's confidence.
"I can think of two words to describe this team," he said. "Hunger and determination. They're hungry for success and they'll do what is necessary to achieve it."
