Conditions set for hostages' release
By United Press International
Iran's parliament voted yesterday to free the 52 American hostages in stages if the United States meets four conditions set by Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini.
President Carter called the move positive and said the administration was pursuing it through this year.
In Tehran, the Pars News Agency reported that the Moslem students holding the U.S. Embassy would meet with Kohmeinia at the Jamaran Mosque today to receive his instructions on the hostage question. One of the students said that after the meeting the students would issue their own statement about the hostages.
Carter, in a special broadcast last night, said
Washington would take no action that did not
our national honor and national integrity.
He also gave no hope that the hostages, who were seized in the U.S. Embassy a year ago tomorrow, would be freed before the first anniversary of their captivity.
"I wish I could say when the hostages will be home." Carter said, "I cannot."
SECRETARY OF STATE Edmund Muskie said no decision would be made until U.S. officials understood the details of Parliament's demands to end the crisis.
Hojatoleslam Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of the Parliament, broadcast "a message to the American nation" saying that any further delay in releasing the hostages "is no longer our fault . . . it is the fault of the U.S. government."
An unofficial text of the Parliament's decision said in part:
"The Iranian government shall release all the 52 U.S. criminals in return for the fulfillment of these conditions by the U.S. government. Should some of these conditions require more time, however, then once all the conditions are accepted by the U.S. government, a number of criminals shall be released with the approval of the Islamic government."
The conditions endorsed by Parliament are:
- The United States must promise to refrain from all direct and indirect interference in Iranian affairs.
- The U.S. government must rescind Carter's Nov. 14 order freezing Iranian assets in American banks at home and abroad. It must guarantee the security and free transfer of
confiscated Iranian property and ensure that no U.S. citizen or resident make further claims on Iranian assets.
- THE U.S. government must cancel all legal and financial claims against Iran. The United State must pay damages or expenses if legal action is brought against Iran or any Iranian citizen as a result of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy.
- The United States must recognize Iran's claim to the wealth of the late shah and his immediate family and make arrangements to return the wealth to Iran.
The Majlis, or parliament, went on to warn that "should the U.S. government fail to comply with all or some of the conditions, then justify it by using its with bound duty, shall punish the criminals."
Release of hostages won't affect election, KU professor says
It is too late for the release of the 52 American hostages held in Iran to swing tomorrow's presidential election in Jimmy Carter's second term. A professor of political science, said yesterday.
Loomis participated in a discussion on the nature of American National Politics in 1980, held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lawrence.
"It was necessary for the hostages to have been released by Saturday if Carter was to have achieved the big 'block-buster' everyone expected would give him the election," Loomis said. It would take three or four days for the media to build a favorable image about the release."

accepted the resolution conferring the Oct. 14 shooting of Faisal Zagallali, a Colorado State graduate student who allegedly was on the hit list of a revolutionary group supportive of the TSA.
The shooting, which was largely ignored by the
press outside of Colorado, has international exp in corresponding to the Colorado State sponsor of the resolutions.
The resolution states that the conference participants "condemn such acts of violence against foreign students in the United States, as well as any similar use of terrorism to threat freedom of thought on our university campuses and to disregard the appropriate government agencies take every measure and possible action to prevent similar acts from happening again."
COPIES OF THE resolution will be sent to President Carter, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, the NAFASE central office in Washington, the governor of Colorado, the mayor of Fort Collins, the president of Colorado State and news agencies.

Bennett asks to have his name removed from chancellor list
From Kansan staff and wire reports
Former Kansas Gov. Robert Bennett said yesterday that he would not apply for the position of chancellor of the University of Kansas.
Bennett asked the Chancellor Search Committee Friday to remove his name from consideration. His name had been given to the search committee in August as a possible replacement for Archie Dykes, who left KU to join a Toonek-based insurance company.
Bennett said he declined the nomination because his law practice and political career were "very satisfying and more to my expertise" than the chancellor's job.
Jacob Kleinberg, Chancellor Search Committee chairman, said that the committee had received hundreds of nominations and that Bennett's nomination was "just another name."
Friday was the deadline for nominations and applications, but Kleinberg said the committee would consider any letters dated as late as Friday.
He said that by the third week in November, nominations and applications would be closed and the committee would begin to narrow down the list of candidates.
"We have to start cutting down, discussing names and looking over resumes," Kleinberg said. "That's as good a time as any."

SenEx tries to clarify faculty use of Robinson
By CINDI CURRIE Staff Reporter
staff Reporter
The University Senate executive committee tried Friday to wade through the confusion surrounding family faculty use of the new curriculum and administration use of University computer time.
The confusion surrounding the Robinson Center faculty family plan started when several faculty members and families were refused to meet with them because they did not have faculty family plan masses.
Although some of the passes were sold to faculty members, the sale had not been approved by the executive vice chancellor or the Kansas Board of Regents.
SenEx members were concerned not only because the plan had not been approved before it was begun, but also because they thought the $15 fee seemed arbitrary.
GERHARD ZUZHER, ex-officio member of SenEx, said he was not certain that the fee would make that much of a difference in the operating costs of the facility.
George Worth, SenEx chairman, said he would write a letter to William Hogan, associate president of the company, recommendation that Robinson Center employees stop enforcing an unapproved policy.
The letter also would ask that the necessity of the prove and that the fee be kept as low as possible.
SenEx also discussed two memos that Dean Lebesthy, chairman of the Academic Computing Committee, sent to Hogan in October.
"If they supposedly get 100 people to buy these, 'Couldn't the girl find that money somewhere else?'
The first memo, dated Oct. 9, expressed concern about the use of the academic computing facility for administrative computing. According to the memo, administrative users
have consumed 60 percent of their allocation for the year without any reimbursement to the academic computing services for the costs incurred.
Any use of the computing center not associated with academics is considered administrative computing.
Ernest Angino, SenEx member and chairman of the department of geology, said that because the administration did not pay for its time, the departments that used the facilities had to include that time in their computing budgets. He said those departments would, in essence, pay for the administration's use of the computing center.
BECAUSE THE BLOCKS of time used by the administration are not paid for by the administration, the costs are taken over by the Computing Center.
Policy slowness, confusion frustrate SenEx

The air was filled with disillusion, and the expressions on the faces of the University Senate executive committee members betrayed their frustration.
At its meeting Friday, SenEx expressed the aggregation of a group that has tried to implement policies at the University of Kansas but has been stymied by the KU administratin.
THE FAMILY plan at Robinson Center, which was supposed to be in effect this semester, was supposed to give faculty members and their families extended privileges for the use of the center. For $15 fee, families would have access to the pools, handball and racel球 courts and gymnasium during the times designated for family use.
When several faculty family members, including Acting Chancellor Del Shankel and his two children, were refused entrance to Robinson, he obtained to SenEx and the administration.
Those faculty members who have tried to use the Robinson Center facilities with their families have experienced the frustrations reflected by SenEx.
Confusion has affected policies that involve students. faculty members and faculty families.
They objected because the plan had not been implemented, being enforced by the Robinson Center staff.
To alleviate any problems, at least 18 faculty
members purchased the $15 passes and expected to be able to use Robinson.
But, the plan had not been approved by the executive vice chancellor* or the Board of Directors.
WAYNE ONSNESS, director of the department of health, physical education and recreation, has said that the passes were sold without his knowledge. He does not know when the plan will
Neither does SenEx, which discussed the plan Friday.
But Robinson's family use plan is not the only policy at the University that was caught up in administrative delays and implemented before it was approved.
Earlier this semester, the withdrawal policy at

The other memo from Lebesky discussed by Sentex dealt with the allocation of funds to the U.S. military in Syria.
SenEx suggested that the current "piecemail" approach to allocations be replaced by a one-time dollar allocation to departments using the computers.
Angino said that instead of having to contribute to the "paper blizzard" by individual requests for each allocation, a specific one-time charge per request would be applied to their costs for computer time more accurately.
In other action, the committee solidified a proposal designed to allow students to complain anonymously about changes in final exam times to William Balfour, the University ambassador.
BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY Code states that final exam time changes must be approved by the SenEx Calendar Committee three weeks prior to the exam. Any time changes must be approved by Nov. 18.
If any changes are made after this date, a student can complain to Balfour, and the student's teacher will be reminded of the violation of the University Code regulation.
Before the SenEx meeting, the University Faculty executive committee discussed the budget report of the Scholarly Publications Committee.
The report, which summarized the problems of last year's publications, stated that it was becoming increasingly difficult to publish research at KU because of increases in printing costs.

It will be partly cloudy today with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the northwest at 12 to 18 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

The extended forecast for Wednes-
