Soviet soldier in a quandary over defection
The Associated Press
HELSINKI, Finland — The Soviet soldier who has sought refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, met the Soviet ambassador yesterday in the presence of American diplomats and a U.S. Marine guard, the U.S. State Department said.
Meanwhile, the staff of the U.S. Embassy was staying inside the building after an American was mistreated by Soviet and Afghan troops. The British U.S. diplomats in Islamabad, Pakistan, who insisted on anonymity,
The Soviet soldier entered the U.S. Embassy gates Friday as another person was leaving, U.S. officials said.
U. S. officials said the man, identified only as a 19-year-old Soviet private, had been on guard duty at Radio Kabul near the embassy. He seemed confused, saying at first that he wanted to go home and was tired of the war.
The soldier met Soviet Ambassador Fikryat A. Tabev at 3 p.m. in the U.S. Embassy in the presence of Edward Hurwitz, U.S. charge d'affairs.
"The meeting was held at the soldier's request," said a statement distributed to reporters traveling with Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
"The upshot of the meeting was that the Soviet soldier has asked for more time to think over any decision he may take. A second meeting has been set for tomorrow (Monday) morning at the U.S. Embassy," the statement said.
In Washington, the chairman of a House subcommittee that oversees embassy operations said the Soviet ambassador offered the soldier "the equivalent of amnesty" but the meeting proved inconclusive.
Rep. Dan Mica, D-Fla., said he was told during a briefing with the State Department yesterday morning that the "Soviet ambassador indicated a willingness to let the soldier return to the Soviet Union without facing any charges, if he chose to do so."
State Department officials said protests were lodged with Soviet and Afghan authorities in Kabul and with Soviet officials in Washington and Moscow over the "intimidation" attempt.
American diplomats in Islamabad said power to the U.S. Embassy in the Afghan capital was cut Saturday and security forces were shining searchlights across the building at night.
The American staff is staying inside the embassy after one person was "not treated gently" by Soviet and Afghan troops while trying to leave the compound, said an American source, speaking on condition he not be identified.
It was the second known time a Soviet soldier entered the Kabul compound. In 1980, Pvt. Alexander Kruglov spent several days there, but after an interview with the Soviet ambassador in the presence of U.S. officials, he decided to go back. He reportedly was promised he could leave the army without punishment and resume his education.
Riunite removed from liquor stores
By Abbie Jones Special to the Kansan
Lawrence liquor retailers are removing cases of Riunite wines from their shelves after Riunite's importer ordered a voluntary recall Friday of about 400,000 cases that contain a toxic chemical.
But officials said the chemical, which is an ingredient in antifreeze, was not harmful in small amounts, such as would be found in the wine
Riunite's importer, Villa Banti, announced that it was voluntarily recalling the cases of Riunite that contained diethylene glycol, a sweetening agent, John Lamb, director of the Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control, said Friday.
it's such a minute amount that it's probably not any kind of health risk." Lamb said. "They are pulling it because they don't know."
Low levels of the chemical were found in four kinds of Riunitie wines, but spokesmen for Riunitie's importer have said the chemical had not caused any health problems, Steve Rain, purchasing agent at Sunflower Sales Co., Topeka, said Saturday.
"It's not a health hazard but we are taking steps to get the product off the shelves." Rain said.
Ross Schimmels, sales manager at Sunflower, estimated that several hundred cases of the contaminated
wine probably had reached Sunflower's warehouse, which distributes to retailers in northeastern Kansas. Lawrence, Topeka, Emporia and Leavenworth retailers receive their wine from Sunflower.
Rain said the official number of contaminated cases would not be available until today.
One Lawrence liquor store employee, who asked not to be identified, said he had removed eight cases of the tainted wine and had given one customer a refund.
An employee at Green's Fine Wines, 800 W. 23rd St., said he had pulled about two or three cases of Rumine from the shelves, but had given only one customer a refund.
A clerk at Patterson Liquor, 846 Illinois St., said 15 bottles of the wine were removed from the shelves, but no customers had returned bottles.
Lamb said, "Anyone who has any bottle with the numbers on it should take them back for an exchange or a refund."
Code numbers appear on the labels of the wine and on the foil covering the cork of Riunitie Spumante.
Rain said the contaminated wines were:

Lead: singer Gordon Gano shows the crowd down with his lyrics to the ballad "I Know It's True. But I'm Sorry to Say." Gano is a member of the Violent Femmes, who performed in the Kansas Union Ballroom Friday night.
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
There aren't many places where a belly dancer performs, 1,000 people dance together, some of them get squished and the theme from "Batman" is played.
But that hedgepodge happened Friday night at the Kansas Union Ballroom, where the Violent Femmes played a soldout concert to about 1,200 people.
The Ballroom's sterile atmosphere, compounded by the frigid blasts from the room's cooling system, didn't seem conducive to a concert. Even the erotic dancing of Amber, a belly dancer who danced before the Femmes played, couldn't push the mercury up much.
But the Femmes and the crowd were undaunted.
They were determined to have a good time. Lead singer Gordon Gano, bass player Brian Ritchie and drummer Victor DeLorenzo took the stage at 8:45 p.m. and proceeded to warm up the cold ballroom with their fluctuating style of rock.
After slinging his guitar over his shoulder, Gano blew on his hands and said, "It's kind of nippy in here."
It wasn't for long.
The band opened with "Country Death Song" and continued to feel out the crowd with songs
Monday Morning
from their moody second album, "Hallowed Ground."
After playing "I Hear the Rain," "Hallowed Ground" and "Sweet Misery Blues," the band knew what the crowd wanted: some hard slamming music.
A whole lot of shaking started going on as the Femmes jumped into the vibrant "Prove My Love." On that note, the dancing started. The line of lights above the band shook from the crowd's movement.
The balance of the crowd, which filled about two-thirds of the Ballroom, had pushed tightly against the stage. But with the band's switch from blues to rock, the people wanted some room. So those in the middle of the mass began to push their way around as they tried to dance.
The band continued its hard-driving onslaught with the next song, "Gone Daddy Gone." By then, people were being flung above the crowd, the middle of which popped around like popcorn in a popper. The crowd began to rush the stage, and for a few moments, there was some danger of it collapsing.
The band stopped playing for a few minutes while some security staff pushed the stage back to its original position.

Reagan orders check of secret plan leak
From Kansan wires
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, demanding "appropriate action" against the leak of classified information, ordered an investigation yesterday into the unauthorized disclosure of a secret CIA plan to undermine and topple the Libyan regime of Col. Moammar Khadafy.
paun to thwart Libyan support for terrorism and subversion and lure Khadab into a situation that would give his opponents in the Libyan military a chance to seize power or provide one of his U.S.-backed neighbors with justification for a military response.
The White House, in an unusual step, announced the investigation of disclosures published yesterday by the Washington Post.
The newspaper also reported "initial resistance" from the two top members of the Senate Intelligence Committee — Sens. David Durenberger, R-Minn., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. — who wrote Reagan that the covert operation might conflict with an executive order signed by Reagan which prohibits direct or
The Post reported that Reagan, with the support of Secretary of State George Shultz and CIA Director William Casey, authorized a covert
indirect U.S. involvement in assassination plots.
Senior administration officials have reaffirmed that policy and are said to have told Congress that any operation to undermine Khadafy could be carried out consistent with the law.
A narrow majority of the members of both the House and Senate intelligence panels supported the president's decision, the newspaper said.
Both Reagan and former president Carter labeled Khadafy an international terrorist.
Insisting the administration would have no substantive comment on "alleged intelligence activity."
Hart refused to say what appropriate action might entail or whether the investigation would include the use of lie detector tests on people with access to the classified documents.
Hart, who at first had refused to comment on the report in yesterday's editions of the Washington Post, said the president ordered the investigation "in an effort to determine who is responsible for (the) disclosure and to take appropriate action."
White House spokesman Bill Hart said Reagan in general "is very concerned over the unauthorized disclosure of intelligence and classified information."
More job opportunities greet graduating students
By Abbie Jones Special to the Kansan
While graduation in May seems a long way off, seniors and graduate students are already busy selling themselves to visiting interviewers from private businesses and huge corporations.
National surveys indicate job prospects for graduating seniors are up 8 to 20 percent this year, and starting salaries are expected to rise by 3 to 5 percent.
KU placement officials won't forecast job openings, but Vernon Geissler, placement director, said recently that both starting salaries and the number of recruiters from visiting companies had risen by about 5 percent.
"We have a good image across the nation," Geisler said. "This year should be a little better than last year."
A 1985 Michigan State University Placement Services study says that the national average starting salary for a person with a bachelor's degree is $29,470. Electrical engineering graduates topped the chart at $28,086, and human ecology majors were last on the list of academic majors at $14,827.
■ Lois Clark, assistant dean of architecture and urban design, said the job market was excellent for students who had completed the five-year program.
Here is how placement officials at seven KU schools and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences see job prospects for this year's graduating class:
The school accepts only one in eight students who apply, so the quality of students within the school is high. Clark said.
After the five-year program, students typically work for three years in the field under a licensed professional and then take a licensing exam to become a licensed architect or architectural engineer.
The Kansas City area is the top spot for the school's students because the city is in a "building boom," she said.
A starting draftsman may earn from $14,000 to $15,000 a year while he works under a professional, and an architectural engineer may earn $18,000 to $22,000 during that period.
- Fred Madaus, placement director for business, said the job market for business graduates was increasing slowly.
The early 1980s recession forced businesses to cut back on staff, but now more people are being hired, he said.
"We think recruiting is moving up slowly," Madaus said. "They don't want to overstaff like they did in the '70s."
About 190 companies recruited at the University during the 1984-85 school year, a 28 percent increase from 1983-84, and 85 companies participated in this year's Business
"The competition is fierce," he said.
A business school report, released this summer, indicated that last year's graduates with bachelor's degrees in accounting had an average starting salary of $20,064 and graduates with a general business degree had an average starting salary of $18,060. Ninety-two percent of business school graduates responded to the business school survey.

Henry estimated that 15-20 percent of librarians students who interview for management positions would get called back for second interviews.
James Henry, assistant director of the placement center who specializes in liberal arts placement, said computer science jobs were available but other positions for liberal arts graduates were tougher to find.

"KU has not put out many math graduates." Glenn said.
Students who do choose a career in teaching face less competition and have a better chance of finding jobs, he said.
