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 University Saturday night in a 10-minute glass-throwing spree that killed at least one of 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 at the university 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 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.
POLICE SAID when ISA nembers who organized the event tried to stop the rival group from taking over the scene.
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 face attacks because of the threat of further violence.
"This will surely occur again," one Iranian student said yesterday. "These people have
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.
DURING *TURING* that incident, students who manned the table said the MSA (PSG) supports tore to the literature and chanted in it. 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-Khimine that was being distributed in front of the Kurdistan.
"There was broken glass, drops of blood and ash all over the place," Denney said. "They threw everything, ashtrays, cups and coffee pots."
"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."
Several students who attended the meeting said Saturday's violence was just one clash in many that had occurred between the two groups recently.
"I was not pro- or anti-Komimi; 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.
"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."

"I was waiting for the meeting to begin and I saw about 25 to 30 people argue at the door with me."
ONE STUDENT, who had been beaten severely by four outrages, said he came to the court in courtesy.
"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."
