Captors still firm on demands
By The Associated Press
Islamic student militants, demanding they take orders only from the Ayatollah Ruhulah Khomeini and the Iranian people, reject a suggestion by the Islamic Movement of black hats held at the U.E. Embassies in Tehran.
It was the latest sign of a major split between Iranian authorities and hundreds of students who have been holding about 80 hostages, including more Americans. America since they seized the embassy Nov. 4.
As the students reaffirmed their demand for extradition of Shah Mohammad Rzeha Pahlavi, diplomats from the U.S. and other nations huddled at the United Nations to discuss the Iran crisis.
President Carter, who has banned Iranian oil imports and frozen Iranian government assets in the United States, yesterday told an AFL-CIO convention that "we are not going to allow the 'dirty responsibility' for the safety of the hostages."
"They will be held accountable." he declared in a
speech interrupted repeatedly by loud applause and whistles.
But despite diplomatic efforts and mounting U.S. economic pressure, one Western source in Tehran reached by telephone from Bonn, West Germany, said foreign diplomats believe it will be a long siege.
U. S. officials say the shah, hospitalized in New York for cancer treatment, may be well enough to travel in two weeks. The Mexican government is offering refuge again, and he also has been invited to Egypt.
But All Aiizo, Iranian ambassador to Britain, said this would not cool the U.S. Iranian conflict.
"Egypt or Mexico—they're U.S. puns. It doesn't matter where he goes," he told a London news conference.
Adding to the uncertainty was a report by Tehran radio, monitored in Washington, that Khombiens has canceled all appointments until Dec. 5 because of "slight fatigue and illness."
Iran's acting foreign minister, Abohasan Bani Sadr, suggested Wednesday that the non-American
aptives at the embassy might be freed by the weekend. Yesterday he told a CBS radio correspondent all women and blacks would be freed soon.
The State Department says six or seven of 15
employees who were arrested and there are at least
black American hoodlans.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ibrahim Mokkala later told the Associated Press women and blacks "possibly" would be freed "due to the fact that Islam is the religion of Muslims." The fact the women are considerables吧 be impressed please.
The embassy militants responded negatively and angrily:
"Something like this will not be considered," Tehran radio quoted them as saying in a statement. "Our conditions are known . . . We denounce any abuse of the nation before he" United States extradites the demeaned shah.
Iran is seeking a U.N. Security Council session to pressure Washington into handing over the shah. But so far, the United States has prevented such a meeting.
Court puts truant girl in detention home
A 15-year Douglas County juvenile was ordered confined in a detention center yesterday after efforts by attorneys failed to gain a stay of sentence, the mother, Danna May Flory, RI, 5 said, yesterday.
The juvenile, charged with truancy and contempt of court, was taken to the Youth Care of McPearson County faculty yesterday afternoon, after Douglas County Court Judge Mike Mellow ordered her confined.
"But the judge said she was a truant and that it would. He wouldn't listen to anything else." Flier said.
Flory said her daughter had refused to attend school because the junior high environment was too crowded.
According to Carl Knox, superintendent of schools, Lawrence School District 497, the girl was reported truant by district officials last month. The girl had not attended school this semester, he said.
FLORY IS a former member of the Old Order of German Baptist Brethren, known locally as Dunkers. Flory's husband, Ivan, is currently a member of the brotherhood, she said, and the family practices the
Members of the order believe in strict interpretation of the King James Bible and attempt to live a simple lifestyle, she said. There are about 100 members of the order in Doulasau County. Flair said.
According to Flory, the order does not oppose public education and many of its members complete
high school and receive post-high school training. However, she said, the group generally supports members who do not wish to continue in public schools.
According to Knox, students wishing to leave school for religious reasons must receive a waiver from the Kansas Compulsory Education Act if they are not 16 years old.
THE COMPULSORY Education Act, passed in 1965, requires all children under the age of 16 to attend school. Failure to attend school is considered unacceptable. Children that would not be illegal if committed by an adult.

TOPEAK–Guidelines for long-range planning by state universities were applied to the U.S. Department of Regents Academic Committee. However, the details of the universities' plans were not available.
The same type of studies and predictions would be made about tenured faculty, the process for making personnel decisions and other major activities.
The guidelines call for each Regents institution to complete by April 1988 a comprehensive study of enrollment trends and the effects that then predict how these trends could change.
However, some Regents were concerned that if the information was submitted to the Regents, it would be difficult for them to faculty members in some departments.
Jordan Haines, Regents chairman, said there should be some way for the Regents to
know that the comprehensive plans existed, without "publication, embarrassment or complications."
Sandra McMullen, Regents member,
said, "But once the information's in
the board room, it's over and done—it's public
information."
HAINES SAID he was concerned that faculty members who knew their department's enrollment was decreasing would be more likely to leave, said if there were 18 faculty members in a philosophy department, and a study showed that only seven were needed, "philosophy faculty."
Duane Acker, president of Kansas State University, said, "It might become a self-suffilling prophecy. To see it in a document—that's what makes people
Glee Smith. Regents member and a former legislator, said that if the Regents had only a summary of the universities'
studies and plans, the 1980 legislature would ask to see more details.
"But we should explain to them why the information should not be made public," he said.
THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE approved the guidelines and amended them to meet the needs of the staff and members of the plans to the Regents. Individual Regents members can sign check the form to confirm their approval.
The summary from each university would be submitted first to the Council of Chief Academic Officers, then to the Council of Presidents and finally to the Regents.
He added that chances were low that KU would be in an economic situation that would call for releasing tenured faculty.
Del Shanker, executive vice chancellor,
said later that publicizing such information
was "necessary."<sup>18</sup> The University of Kansas has been conducting such studies and planning
The Academic Committee also received reports of the tenure status in each department of each university. The report said that 78 percent of KU faculty members who were eligible for tenure actually held positions in other colleges and was among the six Receivers institutions listed.

Howe said he and Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare and CAC support group member, would go
before SenEx to present CAC allegations that AMS has discriminated against and harassed older and handicapped workers.

The moment was in remembrance of the late Frank Gurtler, a former occupational therapist and HOPE Award finalist, who died last Friday.
Ms. Murger will represent her husband as one of five finalists for the Honor for an Outstanding Progressive Educator Award at ceremonies set for halftime of the fall season, in a regional game, according to Joane Wryck, chairwoman of the department of occupational therapy.
Members of the basketball team were black bands on their uniforms in memory of Gurtler. Gurtler's widow, Catherine, is Owens' secretary.
"His death has been an emotional strain on us. The students adored Frank," Wyrick said. "However, the University has been a challenge for him, he calls Collins to carry on Frank's classes."

Although he did not have a college degree, Gurtler had been a lecturer at the University for more than 10 years. Wyrick said. A local craftsmanship, he operated his
own cabinetmaking shop for more than 30 years.
"I tell these students that as long as my door is open, I've got nothing more important to do than talk to them. It there's a person who's going out of front of me, I flip it over so I can see it."
IN AN INTERVIEW with the Kansan after his HOPE award nomination, Gurtier said he enjoyed being around students and teachers. He considered his office to be a "listening post."
"When I'm talking to a student, I wash everything else out of my mind."
According to Tracy Tibbits, Eudora junior, Gurtler was a caring and attentive instructor.
"He would do anything for you. He was always there to help you out and he encouraged you to be the best that you could be." Tibbs said.
