TRIPOLI, Libya - Moammal Khadiya made his second TV appearance in 24 hours yesterday, shortly before a brief artillery and rocket barrage forced a power blackout in the jittery capital. The government has safely had been forced to quench revolts by Libyan military units.
Two hours after the gun and rocket volley, about 100 Libyans waving Soviet-made rifles, Libyan flags and Khadafiyah posts drove in a motorcade through the streets of Tripoli, shouting "Down, down U.S.A.!"

In Washington, White House sources said several Libyan army units rebelled against Khadafy after the U.S. bombing raid but were dispersed by forces loyal to the Libyan leader.
In another, the officials, who asked not to be identified, called Khadya a coward, and added, "He's scared now."
said that while Khadary himself was not a specific target of the air raids, "If a coup takes place, that's hill to the good."

Libyan army units have mutinied several times in the past, an official said, adding that the units know they are not trusted and resent Khadiya's elite guards, who get special treatment.
President Reagan said he thought Khadafy was staying under cover, and administration officials said the Libyan leader chose to put his

An administration source said U.S. intelligence reports indicated Khadady fled to the Hum Gasis in the Sirti Desert, southeast of Tripoli, his son.
Officials believe Khadafy already was at the oasis when his message to the Libyan people was broadcast Wednesday night,
ABC News quoted U.S. intelligence sources as saying Khadafy has since

Dave Shrader is the stuff track and field legends are made of.
In the 61 years of the Kansas Relays, Shrader only has missed the event three times. World War II in attendance near perfect attendance record.
there is a certain amount of pride, memories and nostalgia in the Relays, "Shrader 71," said yesterday. He went back to field and field should be number one."
Shrader's red jacket shielded the north wind as he sat in the bleachers and watched the javelin throw at the Relays.
"I cut off anybody who puts down young people. The world is not going to hell in their hands."
"These athletes are more superior and advanced technically and physically," he said. "But they are still doing everything themselves."
Shrader, who now lives in Topeka,
first competed in the Kansas Relays
in 1982 when he was a high school
junior. He finished fourth in the
"I learned how to throw the discus in my father's wheat field," Shrader said.
Shrader competed for Kansas State three semesters and later transferred to Pittsburgh State where he played. He also collegiate track performers of the era.
Shrader returned the next year, but said he left a very disappointed young man because he finished third in both the javelin and disc. He threw the discs 133-9 and the 12-pound shot warmlb 48-11½.

And his career continues. Shrader still competes in Senior Masters track meets.
Last September, he placed first overall in a penthall with 1.257 total points at Frank Potts Field in Boulder. Colo. In the penthall, he competed for the put-du-die contest and hammer throw and the 35-pound weight throw.

Shrader said he had been told he was one of the original track and field puts.
He was one of the best discus-
throwers in the world. On May 1,
1940, he threw the discus 165-9, which
was a World College Class discus
record. It lasted as the state of Kansas' record until 1956 when AI Oerter shattered Shrader's record with a tos of 183-9.
Another record he had for a number of years was a shot put of 34-1.
Shrader said he probably could have competed in the 1940 or 1944 summer Olympics, but World War II intervened.
"I have 200-percent recall on all my throws," he said. "I wish I had that much retention in my classes."
He was stationed in Savannah, Ga., where he was director of physical fitness and athletics. As director, he coached the team that won two seasons in two seasons.
As the track coach, he said, his
athletes ran 10 second 100-yard
dashes, and high jumped 6-4 in GI
boots.
"Our boxing program was second to none," Shrader said.
Heavyweight Max Baer and lightweight Tommy Laughran were involved in the program and he to become world boxing champions.
Although he has had a taste of coaching many sports, Shrader said he favored track and field.
"It is a pure sport," he said. "It's your mark, you cannot cheat very much because the stop watch says so."
When Shrader was 40 years old and the scales tipped 200 pounds, he ran a 100-ward dash in 10.9.
He was able to clear his massive body over the high jump when the bar was set at 5-8.
Although he suffered a debilitating heart attack in 1980, Shrader recovered in time to compete at the 1981 Masters Indoor Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich. Shrader placed first in the shot put, long jump, high jump and was second in the 50-yard dash.
Shrader said his wife, ida Julia Kurent Shrader, gave him permission yesterday to attend the Relys. He will continue attending throughout the weekend as long as he can make the trip from Tooeka.
"My wife has said I love the shot and the discus a little more than her and the rest of the family," he said.

"I'll keep attending if I have to have my son push me," Shrader said.

Year-long tax debate is settled
By Tim Hrenchir

Douglas County and the University of Kansas Alumni Association ended a year-long tax dispute over the Adams Alumni Center yesterday with a compromise, attorneys for both sides said.
Chris McKenzie, county counselor, said that according to the agreement, the Alumni Association will make annual payments of $10,000 to the county for five years and the remainder will distribute the money as it does all tax money.
McKenzie and Brad Smoot, attorney for the Alumni Association, both said they were satisfied with the compromise.
The county agreed not to appeal a March 19 Kansas Board of Tax Appeals ruling that the alumni center is tax-exempt. The 3-2 decision overturned a September ruling made by the same board.
Smoot said the agreement was not a novel idea.
Many organizations make payments to local government even though they are tax-exempt, he said.
"Even though the law exempts us from county taxes, we recognize that we have a responsibility to help out the community," he said.
Last month's ruling by the Board of Tax Appeals uphold the Alumni Association's contention that a bill passed by the 1985 Kansas Legislature exempted the alumni center from property taxes.
If the county had successfully challenged the tax board's ruling, the Alumni Association would have had to pay the county $65,000 a year.
The county had to make its decision to appeal the ruling by tomorrow.
McKenzie said an appeal could have gone either way, and the case might have been in court for a long time.
"Our basic feeling was that it was best to put this matter to rest and get on to more important things," he said.
said.
Other provisions of the agreement are:
"The Alumni Association will not request a rebate of $1,916 it paid under protest in county taxes. Likewise, the county has released the association from all other 1984 and 1985 taxes.
The alumni center will not be used for commercial activities, and only groups with direct ties to the Alumni Center can use the University can use the building.
The Alumni Association will give the county annual listings of scheduled activities at the alumni center, and will maintain reasonable rules to control the advertising of activities at the center.
Smooth said the Alumni Association couldn't agree to make voluntary payments from the university, so the alumni center's tax-exempt status was in question.
Low response expected on Union poll

renovation began yesterday and
continues today on Level Four of
the Union and the main lobby of Strong

"I don't think it's an issue that people feel very strongly about," Epstein said. "I think if there were a lot of problems we have come out at Penelope floor."
Revenue bonds which would raise about $3.5 million would be financed by the increase.
Part of the cost of the renovation would be financed by a $5 increase in student fees if the increase is approved by the Board of Regents. The Regents will decide today on the increase, which would take effect next fall.
Epstein said at least 1,830 students
must respond to the poll if it is to affect the outcome of the renovation project.

The first phase of the renovation is scheduled to start late this year and cost $6.5 million.
The increase has already been approved by the Senate and the Kansas Union Memorial Board Corporation, the governing body of the Union. But, Epstein and Amy Brown, student vice president, agreed to conduct the informal poll upon suggestion of the Kansas Legislature.

At 6 a.m. yesterday, Student Senate concluded eight hours of discussion on the 1987 fiscal year and allocated money to 48 student organizations.

The Commission on the Status of Women was allotted $1,425 to finance Women's Recognition Day.

Appearance on show is debut for student
"Kimberly Moulton, come on down."

She did, and she walked away with a gas grill and $25 worth of breath mints from television's "The Price in Right."
"I know it was what I wore," she said. "It was so obnoxious."
Moulton, a Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, was one of nine people selected from 300 audience members to play on the program that will air at 10 a.m. daily on Channel 5 and WIBWChannel 13.
Moulton was the second audience member to be called to contestant's row. She jumped out of her chair and went back toert the camera, and ran on down.
At the taping, which took place during spring break in Los Angeles, the show's producer interviewed all audience members for 30 seconds in five-person makeup. Mounted on a thick black jewelry and black-and-white print dress attracted the producer's attention.
There the competition intensified. Expensive prizes were on the line. Moulton made the last
bid, $426 - $1 more than the previous contest. Her bid won the grill and a trip on stage to play a game by herself.
Host Bob Barker said that she would be playing for a camper. Moulton oiled and ahaed, overdramatizing her enthusiasm.
"I wasn't that excited, but I acted like they (the contestants) do." she said.
Oversized price tags displayed two possible costs of the camper. The audience and Moulton picked it. She lost and was ushered off stage.
The game disappointed her, she said.
"I didn't get to run around," Moulton said. "They always have one dead game, and I got it."
After the individual games, players spin a price wheel and attempt to get into the showcase for the championship round.

Before her spin, she said that Barker said, "Kimberly wants me to ask her where she is from."
She told him she was a theater major at the University of Kansas who wanted to become an actress in soap operas.
