Pipe bomb explodes in Naismith Hall

Teresa Benz, Overland Park junior, said she woke up early yesterday morning when an explosion shook the walls of her fourth floor apartment at Naismith Hall.
"At first I thought lightning had struck," Benz said. "Then I thought people were throwing Mushrooms."
It wasn't until late yesterday afternoon that Benz and many other residents learned that the 1 a.m. explosion was a homemade pipe bomb that was embedded in a stairwell between the third and fourth floor.
Lawrence police said the bomb apparently was an exhaust pipe containing two charges of firecracker explosives. The explosion blew out a window, knocked several small holes in the
cinder block walls and set off both the fire and smoke alarms.
POLICE SAID THEY did not have any suspects in the case.
Benz, whose room is close to where the bomb exploded, said, "After two fires in two years here (at the time) had been a problem."
Robert E. Brown, Naismith director, said his staff had not received any bomb threats prior to the explosion, nor did they evacuate the building after it.
"I didn't evacuate the building because I didn't feel it was necessary." Brown said.
Some residents were unhappy with this evacuation procedure.
the bomb squad check out the building," Hicks said.
Her roommate, Anne Tsukahara, Indianapolis, Ind. junior, agreed, saying residents were feeling overwhelmed.
**They should have made us get out and have**
"They should have at least taken us and given us the opportunity to leave if we wanted to." Benz said.
BOTH HICKS AND TSUKAHARA are fourth floor residents who slept through the explosion, as did many other residents, they said.
"A lot of rumors start when people don't know what's going on and that's dangerous." Heeks
Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Reeves said there was no law forcing evacuation and that usually in cases such as Naismith, the Lawrence police officers decision up to the residence hall director.
Political issues divide Iranian student groups
By PENNI CRABTREE Staff Writer

In 1979, Mansour Mojadad and other Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini supporters took their anti-Shaq campaign to the streets of Lawrence, staged demonstrations, shouting slogans and wavin' banners.
Two years later, Mojadaj still brings his political beliefs to the streets. But the literature he distributes at corners and the slogans shouted by anti-Khomeini as they once were anti-Shah.
Since the 1979 revolution, economic, religious and political problems have plagued the two-year-old Khominii regime. According to many KU Iranian students, chaotic conditions in Iran have forced them to re-evaluate or reaffirm political positions.
"I demonstrated for Khomeini because he wanted the Shah out, he wanted reform," Mohadad, a KU student and president of the Iranian Student Association, said Monday. "But when Khomeini took power, he became an island in the Iranian people. I have no more illustrations about him."
As a result, the estimated 250 Iranian students at KU, the largest group of foreign students on campus, have split into several politically diverse factions over the past year-and-a-half.
"Two years ago, most Irianians here were wildly for Khomeini," Forrokk Mashiri, a senior from Shiraz, Iran, said. "Recently though, more and more students have cooled toward Khomeini though many don't wish to cut him completely out of a position of leadership.
"All of our dreams have been shattered," he said. "The revolution was in support of freedom, but now we fight one another. It is a nightmare." One student faction that doesn't want Khomeini in any position of power is the Iranian Student Association.
According to ISA members, the majority of Iranian students are anti-Khomeini.
"Many students work actively for the overthrow of Khomeini's regime, or at least sympathize with us." Mojadaj said. "Many of us support groups like the Peykar and the Mojahedeen organizations, leftist groups that work for the rights of the people."
Members of the Mojhaeedeen, a Marxist terrorist group, took credit for planting the
cendiary bomb that killed two key members of the Islamic ruling council Sunday.
Another campus group that said they represent the majority of KU Iranian students is the Muslim Student Association (Persian Speaking Group), a pro-Khomenei faction. One member, who asked not to be identified because he feared harassment from mSA students, said that Khomenei level at Khomenei government could be more accurately aimed at the United States.
"I believe that most Iranians are pro-Khomeini," the student said. "Most of the opposition to the government, the bomb throwing and such, is linked to America.
"The United States is trying to bring back
the bombs said. The bombings are for
Western benefit."
Support for Bani-Sadr, the exiled former president of Iran, is slim, most Iranian students said. Support for the late Shah's son, Reza Jawad, was, as one student said, "too funny to consider."
But despite the two group's assertions of majority support among KU Iranian students, neither group would estimate how many Iranian students attend group functions.
According to several politically non-aligned Iranian student, neither group, both of which receive Student Senate funding as cultural, non-political associations, reflect a major opinion.
"I don't think the majority of Iranian students are represented by either organization," one Iranian graduate student, who asked not to be identified, said. "They certainly don't represent me."
"The MSA defines 'Moslem' and then wants to tell everyone how they should go to the bathroom," the student said. "The ISA is Communist, and I don't believe in communism either. Many Iranians would just like to see a ban on the freedom of parliament and the freedom to vote as we choose."
Moshiri agreed, saying neither group represented the people of Iran.
"The contrast I saw between MSA organizers and the ideas they preached during a demonstration I marched in, convinced me to take part in any more MSA-sponsored events." Moshiri said. "I almost joined the ISA, but if the Communists took power, I imagine there would be as big a bloodbath as the one going on in Iran now. I am lukewarm toward both groups."
Marcum, Big 8 debate proposed TV contract
Staff Reporter
By EILEEN MARKEY Staff Director
Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, joined representatives of the Big Eight schools this morning in Kansas City, Mo., to discuss the College Football Association's controversial 2015 draft.
Phyllis Howlett, assistant athletic director, said she did not know Marcus's position on the CF A issues, but she confirmed that he would be able to begin to begin at 8 a.m. to visit the Marquette Hotel.
University of Nebraska Chancellor Martin A. Massengale, chairman of the Big Eight Conference, he called the meeting to further inform university athletic directors, faculty representatives, and presidents about the CFA issues.
SIX CFA MEMBER schools in the Big Eight Conference, including Kansas, were among the majority who voted to ratify the four-year, $180 million contract with NBC television August 21. The two conference schools voting against the proposal were Missouri and Iowa State.
Among schools that cast votes in favor of the CFA proposal were Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama and Georgia, Oklahoma, generate high television revenue for the NCAA.
All 61 members of the CFA are tentatively under contract whether they voted for or against the proposal. All schools must formally withdraw from their tentative agreements by Sept. 10, or the CFA will consider them included in the contract.
"If they do not hear from you by Sept. 10, they assume you're in," Big Eight Commissioners said.
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATORS must decide whether to join the new CFA plan, which could jeopardize their standing in the NCAA, or whether they will accept whatever television coverage the NCAA contract with CBS and ABC will grant them.
Massengale said he wanted to give university administrators more information before they went on a trip.
Dave Cawood, NCAA director of public relations, said he thought the $283 million plan developed by the NCAA would satisfy schools that are also CFA members.
"The ABC-CBS contract attempted to care of the concerns CFA members had," Cawood said. "It gave more television appraisal and insured that more games would be plaved."
Massengale, however, said money and more appearances were not issues that concerned him.
"There is a fundamental principle to be looked at here, that is, who owns the property rights to the land."
"The NCAA has taken the position that it has the power to negotiate contracts for its members. We see the CFA as acting as an agent on our behalf."
CAWOOD SAID NCAI members who signed with the CFA probably would be declared insolvent.
According to the "condition and obligation clause," Gawood said, if a member of the NCAA was to sign with the CFA, it would be in violation of NCAA rules and subject to penalty.
The penalty for signing with the CFA would be determined by the NCAA committee on infractions and based on how it has ruled in the past. Cawood said ineligibility would probably
BUT CAWOOD SAID a unit vote by the conference would be logical because it would strengthen the conference's position by giving it a definite outlet of consistent television coverage.
James said the conference also would discuss whether Big Eight women's teams would participate in NCAA or Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championships.
Commissioner James denied that the purpose of the meeting was to try to swing Iowa and North Dakota into a race.
"If the conference was split 4-4, you'd have some teams that were ineligible under one contract and some that were ineligible under the other as well," he said.
"If a school were declared ineligible, it would not receive television income, but would receive food."

Education budget cuts may continue

More students will be working to put themselves through school if additional education budget cuts proposed by the Reagan administration are approved, according to Jerry Rogers, director of the KU Office of Student Financial Aid.
"Eventually, we'll just have rich people going to school and the poor people will be doing something else," Rogers said, "but I doubt if it will come to that."
ROGERS' COMMENTS WERE prompted by reports that the Reagan administration is planning additional budget cuts, which go back to what has already been approved by Congress.
Rep. Peter Peyser, D-N.Y., accused the administration Monday of "deception" by not sticking with the education funding approved in the budget package.
The package cut *11* billion from authorized spending for 1982 and "now they're pushing for a $30 billion cut."
Administration officials have indicated they are seeking additional cuts in the federal budget and that the funding authorized in the budget is presented ceilings, not guaranteed amounts.
Peyser said some of the administration's additional cuts would be $100 million from libraries and learning resources, $250 million from education for the handicapped, $100 million from direct student loans, $300 million from guaranteed student loans, $300 million

Owning businesses help students attend KU
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter
Faced with higher tuition, a tight job market and diminishing financial aid, some KU students have found owning businesses an attractive alternative.
"Sure, going to school is beneficial because it gives me the opportunity to see many different facets of life," Jeff Morrow, Lawrence special student, said, "but my business ventures are giving me the opportunity to go to school."
Morrow owns two local restaurants, the Bark and Crossing on Hale Ave. and the Skink Sub in New York. He bought the Mello Sub in
Morrow, who is taking business administration course at KU, said that owning a business has made school more meaningful.
December 1979 and the Hawk's Crossing a month later.
"Since I am a little older than most students in my class, I see things a little differently," Morrow, 27, said. "Some of the weeds discuss in class about business management situations could directly affect my ventures. It makes for a more interesting class."
Morrow has 30 part-time and four full-time employees.
MORROW USED TO GET up at dawn to bake bread for the restaurants, but now he trains them to make it.
"I have tried to implement a management improvement program," Morrow said. "I think rewarding your better help with better assistance helps the overall establishment."
Morrow leases the buildings he uses to avoid paying high interest rates on loans.
"Being able to lease the building is nice," he said. "There are already enough expenses associated with running a business than trying to pay a building off."
Morrow warned students to invest in the right business.
*Restaurants are management intensive* *don't I see too many students getting started here?*
