Carter freezes Iranian funds as tension mounts
By The Associated Press
In two swift moves of a grim global chess game, Iran tried to withdraw its billions of dollars in American banks yesterday but退还了全部资金。Iranian funds ordered by President Carter.
Efforts to free the 62 American hostages Tehran shifted to the United Nations as part of an effort to secure a safe New York to confer with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Wustal, who has offered to help them in their search.
Moslem students holding the embassy and
98 hostages shown no sign of easing their stand. They have said they would not free their captives until Mohammad Reza Ibrahim has been returned to Iran for a trial.
Tehran Radio reported a student declaration that any attempt to compromise on the broadcast of the statement Ayatollah Huhailol Khoumii "is strongly denounced by us and would be deemed
THE DECLARATION may have been aimed at Iranian officials who said Tuesday
the hostages might be freed before the return of the shah, if certain conditions were met.
The United States said there would be no negotiations while the hostages were held.
The Iranian decision to withdraw funds
from American banks was announced at a Tehran news conference by Bani Sadr.
He said the Khomeni regime had decided to withdraw what he said he was $12 billion from the bank, which he re-deposit in banks in nations friendly to Iran. U.S. officials later said the amount is about $50 million.
THE CARTER administration countered the Iranian withdrawal attempt quickly.
After an urgent request of U.S. Treasury officials and a 5:45 a.m. call by Treasury Secretary G. William Miller to Carter, the
president signed an order freezing Iranian government assets.
In another development, Bani Sadi accused the United States of airing paratroopers to Bahrain, in the Persian Gulf, for a military operation to free the
The official reason for the emergency-powers order was to ensure that American forces would be able to protect Miller said the freeze took effect before the Iranians could make any substantial changes.
hostages, the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug reported from Tehran.
Officials in Bahrain denied the move. U.S. officials denied a similar report that they were prepared to stage a military operation from the Gulf area.
BANI SADR accused Washington of pushing the world toward war, and called for a meeting of the U. Security Council, whose 15 member nations last week convened.

Racers and spectators find thrills at dragstrip

It's 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning, and the road leading to the Kansas City International Raceway is backed up to the highway with racers and spectators. Street freaks by the dawn rain under the trees. Electricity is in the air, with a hint of a pleasant, crisp autumn afternoon to follow.
The cars swing sedately into a gentle arc and begin parking, the drivers beginning to warm up their car or exchange the latest gossip with their neighbor. The raceway is wide, flat and fast.
Blowers . . . chrome . . . carbureators . . . steel braided lines . . . headers . . . wheels . .
rollows . . . polished . . . aerosol . . . anodized . . . detailed . . . detailed details.
Details. One can get lost in them, crawl under that '78 Chevy or the at least miles of pinchway manicured maniacal frame trouss, or wonder at the endless miles of pinchway manicured road.
AN OVERALL view of the drag race is impossible. There are just not enough hours in a day to see each of the 17 cars, talk to all the owners and take in the action.
A restored silver-blue GTO resembling a high school flame's first car is passed with a certain amount of remorse. But there is no time to linger, because the eyes catch sight of a beautiful dark Corvette. A young girl lavishes attention upon it while her tanned, blond bobby friend chores the Chrome.
After that it's a Firebird or Mustang, or more brightly colored cars called Mopar Kid, Gooky Lemon Pondy, Pony Express, Hauntin' Memory, Diablo or Alcoholic. After a while the superlatives seem inadequate to describe the cars. Every color, every option and every engine is on display.
Stop and talk to the guy with the brown Plymouth all the machine work, or drol over the black Camaro with the blower, evillooking and sharp with white stripes of leather.
"Haul that car here from Nebraska?" the owner of the Camaro is asked.
"Heck, no," he says. "I built this car to drive, not to pull around on a trailer."
The loudspeaker interrupts.
"Welcome, folks, to the Kansas City International Raceway," Jeff Holdcamp, the announcer in the timmer tower, saws, while cars still carl in.
*Time trials will begin in a couple of minutes, so let's get things rolling. Car hot cars in lanes one and two, super cars in lanes three and four. Please keep the rooftops down and keep the windows open.*
BACK IN THE EARLY 60s, the days of the Beach Boys' "Little Dice Coupe," dragrants were the main drag strip attraction. It was an era before fancy cars, and nirroring raceways.
But drag-racing has changed. It costs a tremendous amount of money to compete. And, as before, the racers can be separated into two groups: high-dollar drivers and those who are not. The drivers are divided by age, skill level, and team.
Delon Joseph, car dealer for Big D Auto Sales in Kansas City, Mo., is content with his two-year-old back engine dragster. He not only competes, he wins.

Recruiter sells KU to prospects
By BRETT CONLEY
Staff Reporter
The KU football team only has two games remaining, but it is just beginning one of its biggest battles of the year—the battle for new recruits.
KU will spend $90,000 this year for traveling expenses and related costs in an effort to lure top high school and junior college football prospects to the University. Of that money will be spent by Dan Shaughnessy coach in charge of out-of-state recruiting.
"IVE BEEN recruiting since March of 1979 for players we will sign in February.
Shenka, who came to KU from Purdue last March, has as his only duty the recruitment of football players from outside schools. He most of his time away from Lawrence.
Shonka said that during one week he visited an average of 35 high schools in areas such as Chicago, St. Louis, Miami, Cleveland or Houston.
1980, "Shona said," it was on the road for 13 weeks last spring, and plus four weeks this summer, and from the beginning of football in January to the February 1 will be on the road every week.
"My main objective is to find the players for our other assistants to recruit, because they each have their own specific area, such as Miami or Dallas, that they're responsible."
"I usually leave on Sunday night and get into an area such as Chicago, so I can start work there," she said. "I'll stay until Friday when I will fly back to Lawrence for our recruiting."
for. My own area is Chicago and I recruit athletes there completely."
Shankla is only 26, but he already has been on football staffs at Iowa State. Rice and Tebow are in the midst of a season of lows in 1978, but first coached on Iowa State in 1974 as defensive end coach. In 1975, he was injured in three backers and running backs. At the end of that season he went to Purdue as its interim coach.
Even though he travels around the country nearly three-fourths of the year, Shonka said he did not tire of recruiting.
**I REALLY like doing it, he said. "I enjoy meeting the prospects and their families at our school." I attended elementary school in Topela, goes to school one night a week and blows on a week, so I got to see them.**
"This is the first year that I haven't coached on the field, but that's the way it has to be because I spend 16 to 17 hours a day on recruiting," he said. "One problem with that is I don't know our players as I would like, because I don't see them."
SHONKA SPENDS much of his 17 hour work day sorting out the more than 2,000 high school and junior college football players that KU will evaluate this year.
The process begins in March, Shonka has received customers to coaches out-of-state areas to coach and train alumni to help in recruiting, or where KU has been successful in recruiting players in

Liquor law constitutional, Kansas court determines
By JEFF SJERVEN Staff Reporter
The Kansas Supreme Court yesterday upheld legislation passed by the 1979 Legislature that removed a mandatory mark on wholesale lion rices.
an abbreviated decision, the Court found the legislation constitutional, reversing a September ruling by Shwanee County District Judge Michael Barbara.
The Court will release a detailed ruling soon, according to Richard Ross, court reporter.
Wholesale liquor distributors in Kansas are being operated without the mandatory markup since Sept. 10, and yesterday's Court decision probably will have little effect on consumer prices, according to Sunflower Sales Co. of Tonka.
"I think you be seeing more promotional sales that llow the price of a product for a month," he said. "But if the consumer expects a 5 percent rollback in
"To compare the market price today with that existing when the bill was passed is like asking for 60 cent gas."
LUX SAID it would be difficult to compare prices now with what they would have been
before the removal of the mandatory markup.
"About all we can try to do is hold the line on inflation," he said.
"we feel that ultimately there will be a decrease in some categories of liquor," he said. "Price increases that do occur will be slower in coming and less severe."
However, John Monteich, a representative of Standard Liquid Corp in Topeka, said the legislation had resulted in price decreases in his company's products.
MONTEICH SAID it was difficult to speculate on the effects of the legislation on future prices because liquor distributors operated in a competitive market.
"We must respond to the market," he said. "If our supply costs go up, we can try to absorb some of the increase, but prices for the consumer will ultimately rise."
Tom Kennedy, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control division of the state Revenue Department, said mandatory retail liquor markups would remain in effect.
Retail liquor stores charge a 28.5 percent markup for whiskies and vodas, a 36.3 percent markup for liquors and other alcoholic beverages, a 28.5 percent markup for wines, Kennedy said.
Custodial union says labor practices unfair

Francis, Jacobs, international apprpriates who have information would be filled because of a meeting the University had with members of the Custodian Action Committee support
The University has an agreement with the union saying that it is the sole bargaining unit for KU custodians in matters of wages and working conditions.
Kansas Public Service Employees Union local No. 422 will hire two unfair labor arrangements in Kansas with the public Employees Relations Board in Topeka by Friday, a
"We're filling these charges to establish legislative precedent," he said.
Jacobs said the other charge would be bill because the University had refused to pay for a new AMS contract would have on the working conditions for University emeritus.
Mike Davis, University general counsel, met with CAC support group members on Monday to discuss the contract the team has with American Management Services.
Jacobs said that under the law, the union was the exclusive bargaining agent for the custodians and that the first complaint was that the union had wrongly allowed right as their exclusive bargaining agent.
He said he hoped that the second com-
promise would be the university or any other state employer to bargain with the union about the effect a new contract would have on working condi-
tions.
Davis said yesterday that the University would not meet with CAC support group members again because of the union's threat to file charges against the University.
THE CAC and its support group have said they do not wish to be a bargaining unit for the custodians.
The University agreed to meet with CAC support group members Monday if the AMS contract was discussed as a legal document working conditions were not discussed.
"Any further meetings with this group would only exacerbate our legal difficulties." Davis said.
Davis said that at the meeting on Monday working conditions were not discussed.
"The grievances around which the CAC revolves are work-related and we wouldn't get very far if we didn't discuss these things," he said.
However, he said, another meeting with the CAC's support group might lead to discussion of working conditions, which the union has the sole right to discuss.
He said that if the union filed charges with
PERB, the University would ask for an accelerated hearing "so we can get a clear, definitive determination of who we can soak to and when."
CAC SUPPORT group member Steve Scoff said that because the University had refused to meet with the group again the University and had fired charges with several agencies.
Soffer said the CAC had filed a complaint with the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights in Topeka alleging a pattern of incarceration handcapped by the University and AMS.
He also said the CAC would file charges of discrimination of the handicapped with the Department of Health, Education and Division of Civil Rights in Ransax City, Mo.
The CAC has also asked United States Attorney James Burchee, Topeka, to investigate rights of KU custodians to free speech, peaceful assembly and due process by the Court.
Daniel Wildcat, CAC support group member and vice-president of the Lawrence chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which comprises six attorneys who decide which cases the ACLU takes to court, had asked local attorneys Mice Glover and Mark Ritter to investigate the custodian at the University for possible legal action.
JUDY DAVIS, executive director of the state ACU, said the panel usually did not conduct investigations into cases presented to it.
"We see serious civil liberties issues in the case. We see an obvious first amendment challenge to the authority of tempts by AMS to interfere with custodians' rights to peacefully assembly and free speech."
The CAC also has said that AMS tried to harass custodians at an Oct. 3 meeting of the CAC and had threatened and harassed CAC workers for their involvement with the group.
Davis said she did not know when the ACU investigation would be completed, but that after it was completed, the legal burden would fall on either the ACU would take the court case.
"We think there's potential there for court action or we wouldn't bother with the case," Davis said.
Gary Howe, assistant professor of sociology and a support group member, said the CAC and its support group wanted to present particular cases against AMS.
HE SAID that the CAC had asked that a federal mediator from the Community Relations Division of the U.S. Department of Justice be present at the meeting to
