Federal investigators are examining allegations that *u* University committee whitewashed an investigation of a KU conduct, a federal official said yesterday.
Ralph Williams, acting director of the Division of Management, survey and Review, said he sent agents from his office to the KU campus last week. "We want you to know that the Advisory Committee on Human Experimentation mishandled its investigation of Michael Crawford, KU anthropology professor.
Williams said federal investigators spent a week on the KU campus gathering evidence for the investigation.
The candidates, Liz Murray, 29, doctoral candidate in genetics, and Nancy Semprey, 46, librarian. (Mary J. Smith)
Crawford used improper research methods on human subjects and misappropriated federal funds during a research project in Belize, a country in Central America.
CRAWFORD LED THE six-week trip to Belize, formerly the British Honduras, in 1976. While in Belize, the group collected about 1,000 samples for genetic research in sickle cell anemia.
Semploiki and Murray have alleged that Crawford misled blood donors by allowing them to donate blood.
Murray said Crawford also failed to obtain proper permission from the volunteer donors.
In addition to the research complaints, Murray and Sempolis have alleged that Crawford acted improperly when he demanded that Murray pay her salary to him for use as a "slush fund."
The suit said that allegations about Crawford's professional ethics caused him intense mental stress.
Crawford filed a $1.5 million slander suit in Douglas County District Court Monday, naming seven defendants, including Murray and Sempolski.
HE HAS REFUSED to comment on the case,
acting on advice from his attorney.
ACHE initiated its investigation in May 1977 at the request of William Argersinger, former vice chancellor for graduate research and graduate studies.
An ACHE subcommittee headed by Robert Casad decided that, although Crawford had acted imprudently, there was no cause for further investigation.
Williams, who refused to comment on the exact nature of his investigation, said his office did troubleshooting for the National Institute of Health.
"Our work involves any or all problems that arise in NIH management," he said. "We're auditors by nature, and we investigate any scientific impropties."
Williams said the information the agents

Threat of reprisal silences Iraqi students

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last of two stories on *the* KUIP applications and Iran and its effects on KUIP applications from these books.
Like their Iranian counterparts, KU Iraqi students are anxiously following the three-week-old Mideast conflict, but the Iraqis 'financially burdened' on them from speaking publicly on the fighting.
Some of the 241 Iranian students at the University of Kansas have said they were facing news of the fighting with a mixture of concern and fear, what it would mean for them and their families.
But the main comment from the 14 Iraqi students is that the war was a result of "excitement about the conflict."
SIX OF THE EIGHT students contacted refused to take either the fighting or their background. Of the two who would comment, one requested that his name not be revealed. The
other student, Abdul Saied, Baghdad freshman,
explained the reticence of his fellow Iraqis.
"Because my education is not paid for by the government, I can say these things," Said said.
Most of the other Iraqi students, however, are being sponsored by their government and would stop receiving money if they made negative comments about the country's current leaders, be said.
Said has a brother living in Iowa who pays his college expenses. Neither one has heard from

Fee schedule approved for Med Center library

HAYS-The Regents Health Education Committee yesterday approved a student fee schedule to pay for a new library at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The fee schedule, which would be added to the tuition of Med Center students and allied health and nursing students, will be presented today for approval from the Kansas Board of Residents.
The Regents also will hear reports from several other committees, which meet yesterday.
The fee schedule will be $23 a year for full-time
nursing, medical and special students are
$183 a year.
Students enrolled at the Med Center will pay $100 a year, full-time graduate students $80 a year. Students enrolling in the College of Nursing will pay $250 a year.
After hearing an alternative proposal submitted by KU medical students, the Regents Health Education Committee approved the fee presented last month by the KU administration.
The student proposal would have charged allied health, nursing and special full-time students $56 a year and part-time students $28 a year.
Med Center students would have been charged
with full-time graduation fees, a year
and registration fees.
David Waxman, executive vice chancellor of the Med Center, said that the proposal by the students was an "expression to be heard." He asked them, said, because he told the students he would.
Gee Smith, a Regent, said that the administration proposal was equitable and reflected what they thought the fee schedule with whom recommended the Regents impose it best.
THE STUDENT ADVISORY Committee composed of the student body presidents of the seven Regents schools, yesterday discussed a proposal made by the Associated Students of
Kansas for a student representative on the Board of Regents.
The ASK proposal would establish a student as a voting member of the Board of Regents.
Student contributions to Regents decisions now come from the advisory committee. At the committee meeting yesterday, Bernard Franklin, Regents chairman, said the student representative had become the No.1 issue in Kansas.
He said it had become important because of the play board members thought the issue was handled well.
Several student newspapers have printed articles and editorials about the issue, some of which misconstrued or took quotations out of context. Franklin said.
FRANKLIN SAID SEVERAL Repents were quite upset by remarks made in student papers by Greg Snackne, KU student body president, and Bob Binaman, ASK executive director.
He said that if students continued to push the name, the Rugetts would become unacceptable to staff.
"The board is not 100 percent sensitive to student opinion. Dr.琳顿 said. "But we've come a long way."
The committee decided to delay taking a stand on the issue and making any further comments before deciding.
He said the board was willing to talk to students but they should use the advisory committee's guidance.
IN OTHER ACTION, the Regents Health Education Committee heard reports from Waxman about the new satellite clinic facility in Johnson County.
Waxman said the Kansas University Endowment association gave KU a loan to pay for the building. The clinic would extend the Med Center to provide student show students how to run a private practice.
"We will be able to give some experience to some of our house staff who will be coming through the Med Center, 80 percent of whom will be active in Kansas," Waxman said.

Wall deserves Dykes' name, student senator's petition says
It's already commonly called "Archie's Wall," but at least one student senator wants to make the name official.
The senator, Bruce Leban, submitted a petition to the Student Senate this week recommending that the information booth at 10th and Iowa streets and its accompanying wall be named in honor of former Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
Leban would like the booth and its wall, which is under construction, to be called the "Archie R. Dykes Information Booth and Commemorative Wall."
"I want to send a message to the Regents telling them what we think of the wall," Leban, a liberal arts and sciences senator, said. "We want them to know we think the wall was a waste of
For the petition to reach the Board of Regents, it would have to pass from the Student Senate Rights Committee to the Student Senate and then to the University Council. Leban said that he had failed to enclose the Regents himself if it failed to win endorsement from the University groups.
The volcano, rocked by continuous earth-quakes starting in midafternoon, rumbled with an intense, 6-minute burst of seismic activity. The volcano was the second Craig Weaver of the U.S. Geological Survey said.
"Since the eruption, the mountain has been very quiet seismically," Weaver said. "We're just waiting to see what's going to happen."
Earlier yesterday, Mount St. Helen's shot a plume of ash and steam, 1,000 feet skyward and rumbled with several earthquakes that prompt-
VANCOUVER, WASH. (UWI) — A plume of ash and steam that rose $1 miles over erupting Mount St. Helens descended on the Portland, Ore. early this morning in a heavy, choking cloud.
Mount St. Helens roars again
The 42,000-foot ash plume was first spotted by a service pilots at 12:05, JIM Hocuch of the disaster response team.
"I think it's very amusing," she said. "It makes a point. From what I understand, Dykes was really on big on having the grounds look nice, but the wall seems pretty ridiculous. I think there could have been better ways to spend the money.
Sharon Packer, a Wichita junior and member of the rights committee, liked the petition.
The petition says that because no building has been named for Dykes and because the $70,000 information booth and wall were constructed during his administration, the two would be a "fitting monument to the achievements of Dykes' administration."
Jim Borell, chairman of the Student Senate Rights Committee, said that Lebanese should have talked directly with the Regents instead of presenting the petition to the Student Senate.
"It if there was a movement to name the wall and Dykes, I would be all for it. I would like the Regeneration."
"It's a good point and our committee will have to consider it. Borell said, 'But I don't think it works.'"
The last time Mount St. Helens erupted was on Aug. 7, when a buildup of tremors signaled the impending blast and gave the Forest Service time to evacuate fire-fighting crews from the 152-square-mile blast zone created by the devastating May 18 explosion.
Matt Davis, student body vice president, said
boutique that the Senate would pass the petition.
Bob Norris, a spokesman for the University of Washington Geophysics Department, said an earthquake measuring 2.9 on the Richter scale, caused by the volatile peak, was registered about 9 p.m.
"Sure, the petition makes a point," he said. But the wall is already there. What are they going to do?
ted the Forest Service to issue a warning that a major erosion was possible and may be imminent.
More than an hour after the first quake, there was a smaller tember measuring under 2.0.
"We began seeing volcanic-type earthquakes during the mid-afterfall and they've been increased."
It will be mostly fair today, with a high in the mid 60s, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka. Skies will be mostly fair tonight and are likely to remain low in the upper 30s. The high tomorrow will be in the low 60s.
The extended outlook for the weekend calls for highs in the low 60s and lows in the high 30s to 40s. No rain is expected over the weekend.
