Iran deal Reports say Shultz on verge of quitting
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Controversy yesterday surrounded the U.S.-Iranian arms deal that reportedly bought freedom for captive Americans, with reports Secretary of State George Shultz might quit and warnings the deal "guarantees the continued taking of hostages."
The White House kept its official silence, refusing to confirm or deny that the arms arrangement had been made, despite Iranian acknowledgment and defensive comments from U.S. officials.
snoutz, according to a New York Times report, was on the verge of resigning because the arms transfer violated the U.S. policy of not negotiating with terrorists, and because he had not been informed about the deals.
Senate Democrats were blunt in challenging the administration's tactic, while insisting they, too, had been kept in the dark. According to news accounts, not only the State Department, but also the Pentagon and the CIA had not been informed of the deal to avoid leaks and to evade requirements to report to Congress.
Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., called dealing with terrorists "a serious mistake" and warned it created a precedent of *arms* vs. hostages vs. arms vs. hostages. And it guarantees the continued taking of hostages."
"It is my understanding that Mr. Weinberger hit the ceiling, Mr. Shultz nose is out of joint. And I
Byrd said he understood that Shultz and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger were not told of the deal during the alleged 18-month-long campaign to win Iranian aid to free U.S. captives held in Lebanon.

Sultz had threatened to quit previously. He almost quit when faced with the prospect of having to take lie detector tests as part of an anti-leak policy.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, also on ABC, said, negotiating for the hostages made it more likely other hostages would be kidnapped.
A White House official said, however, that Shultz was involved with the plan from the beginning.
Reagan spent an extended weekend at Camp David and planned to return to the White House today. Shultz and Reagan are scheduled to meet Wednesday, after Shultz returned from a one-day trip to Guatemala.
The Times said Shultz and Weinberger were aware that a secret channel had been opened to Iran last year by Robert McFarlane, Reagan's former national security adviser, with Israel as the middleman. Israel sold its old weapons to Iran, while receiving new shipments from the United States.
Officials said Cabinet officers argued that the operation should be shut down and, the Times said, Reagan agreed in May to stop the covert dealings.
His dying won't end war, Khomeini says
The Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's ailing, 88-year-old spiritual leader, said yesterday that his death would not end the country's Islamic revolution. He apparently was trying to defuse a power struggle within the clergy-led regime.
"Our enemies must understand that the Islamic Republic . . . has been stabilized and is not dependent on any person, but on the people and the armed forces," Khomeini said in a speech to military men at his residence in Jamaran, north of Teheran.
The speech was carried by Teheran radio and was monitored in Nicosia.

"Of course, death comes to everyone, and to me too," Khomeini said. "Iran's enemies) should not rejoice. This is something that happens and you will see that, God willing, the Islamic Republic will remain, whether or not I stay."
The struggle for power in Iran was not a simple affair between right and left or moderates and hard-liners. Numerous groups were involved, and some frequently switched sides.
"They say one thing in the morning and another thing in the evening," said Ahmad Madani, who was defense minister in the early days of the revolution and now

Monday morning
While the parents attended the seminars, KU and Lawrence High School students watched after the children. Several students who were companions this weekend were from the Delta Chi fraternity, 1245 West Campus Road.
"Wait a minute, Steven," Hallgartbear said. "Come back, and we'll get it later."
This weekend, Halligarth was Steven's companion at the Family Enrichment Weekend, sponsored by Families Together, Inc. Topeka. The activities yesterday and Saturday took place at the Lawrence Holidome, 200 West Turnpike Access Road.

Steven put the ball down, ran back to the side of his companion and continued exercising.

Hallgarth, a member of the fraternity, has been a companion at the Families Together weekend for three years.
He said that by spending time with the children he learned about himself.

Several students said they were nervous before they had met their children for the weekend.
All members of the fraternity, as well as students in special education classes, took the opportunity to become companions to either a handcapped or a normal child while the parents talked with each other in discussion groups.

sophomore, learned about the weekend through a sign language class. She said she was nervous because she was assigned to a severely handicapped child who could not communicate.
However, later in the morning, Wagner said that she could communicate with Jeff Davis, the child she had been assigned. "He points when he wants something," she said, as she picked up part of a parachute for him to touch. "We watched cartoons and petted the rabbits at the
petting zoo. He likes the cars best." Children were entertained with various activities such as going swimming, attending a petting zoo, exercising with a parachute and playing miniature golf.
Parents attended round-table discussions concerning issues such as helping a handicapped child develop socially acceptable behavior, helping non-handicapped siblings adjust and working with doctors and nurses.
State deficit may slice KU budget
Bv BETH COPELAND
The state's $13 million projected budget deficit may prompt cuts in the University of Kansas budget and freezes in faculty salaries, a KU professor said yesterday.
Staff writer
Melvin Dubnick, associate professor of public administration, said Gov. John Carlin said he would not cut spending for corrections or social service programs. As a result, spending cuts will probably occur in education, Dubnick said.
"To me, the worst implication is that there are no pay raises in fiscal 1988." Dunbick said. "All of this will make it a little less desirable for faculty to stay at KU."
On Thursday, budget analysts said the state would be at least $13 million in the red by June 30 because of the state's sluggish economy.
This amount exceeds the approximate $80 million 'cushion' maintained by the state to carry over into fiscal year 1988. Coupled with this cushion, state coffers will fall
short $93 million, producing a deficit of $13 million.
Carlin faced a similar problem in 1982 and slashed agencies' budgets across the board by 4 percent — except for county highway and school district funds.
Last week, Carlin and governor-elect Mike Hayden appointed a team to find a way to prevent the projected $13 million deficit in the state's general fund.
Sen. Wint Winter, R-Lawrence, said the estimated shortfall pointed to the state's poor economy.
This year, Carlin is expected to cut between 1 percent and 2 percent across the board from agencies' budgets.
"This is obviously a very serious setback coming on the heels of our one-cent sales tax increase last year," Winter said. "This just highlights that it isn't that we didn't raise taxes; it's that the economy is so sluggish that we have these problems."
Dubnick said KU faced cutbacks of 1 or 2 percent
just as other state agencies.
"It doesn't look good," he said. "We could see freezes in faculty hiring, or travel budgets could be frozen."
In addition to cuts, the Legislature may not grant KU the general fee release, which is the extra tuition money generated by the University's increased enrollment.
The Legislature allots the University a certain amount of money, and revenues that exceed the allotment are returned to the state's general fund. KU then must ask the state to return a portion of the surplus revenue.
Dubnick said the University requested $1.5 million from the state as a result of the enrollment increase. The Board of Regents, which governs the six state universities and Kansas Technical Institute in Salina, forwarded the request to the Legislature, but instead asked for $1.2 million.

"This is going to be a very cold week," Scott Stevens, KU weather observer, said last night.
There is a 50 percent chance of snow in the area this afternoon, Stevens said, with likely accumulations of one-half to one inch.
Temperatures will be 16 to 30 degrees below normal for this time of year. They usually are in the upper 50s, he said.
Accumulations of two to three inches of snow are possible if the
temperature drops to about 20 degrees and the ground freezes, he said.
The high today will be about 33 degrees, he said.
Tomorrow will be sunny, but northerly winds at 15 mph will keep the high to about 35 degrees.
Saturday night marked the first official freeze of the year. Stevens said, when the temperature dropped to 31 degrees.
Mike Heathfield, a forecaster for the National Weather Service in Topeka, said the freeze had set a record as the latest first freeze in Topeka and probably in Lawrence as well.
The 90-day forecast also predicts below normal temperatures.
