Seib says family is most important
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Wall Street Journal reporter Gerald F. Seib said yesterday that his detention in Iran taught him that his family was the most important thing in his life.
"It put my life into a clear perspective," he said in Kansas City, Kan., home of his in-laws, Chester and Bernice Rosewiz. "I just wanted to come home first to see my family and then to say thanks."
Seib, a native of Hays, Kan., and a graduate of the University of Kansas, was detained by Iranian authorities on Jan. 31 after he and other journalists were invited to four the country.
"I was very worried about my family, she said. "I must have been ill before her."
Seib said the Iranians asked him mostly about his coverage of Israel and accused him of being a spy of the Zionist regime.
"I thought my articles about Iraq would be the big question," he said.
During his detention, students at his former high school, Thomas More Prep-Marion in Hays, held a prayer vigil and gild yellow ribbons.
"This is the worst part of it," he said. "It's an uncomfortable position for a journalist, but it's understandable."
Seib said that surprised him, but as not as much as the media attention he received.
Seib and his wife, Barbara Rosewieth, also a Journal reporter based in Cairo, Egypt, drove yesterday to Kansas City, 270 miles northwest of Kansas City.
Seib wifl will speak to students in an assembly today at Moore and More.
Tomorrow, Seib will hold a press conference at 8:30 a.m., and then will attend a reception from 10 a.m. until noon at the school field house.
Bill proposes salary for Senate advisers
By KIERSTI MOEN

Student Senate officials may get paid to advise their successors about Senate procedures during a transition period after this spring's Senate elections.
At a meeting last night in the Kansas Union, the Student Senate Elections Committee proposed a bill that would establish a consultation salary for the current student body president and vice president.
The salary would be half of the officials' regular monthly pay and would cover about one month after new Senate officials take office. The committee proposed the overlap period to last until May 15. The elections are April 8 and 9.
Tom Moore, co-chairman of the elections committee, said that new Senate officials needed assistance from outgoing officials to become familiar with Senate procedures and to make the transition easier.
The newly elected Senate officials would receive full salaries after they take office.
The committee will draft the bill next week and later present it to the Congress.
The committee also proposed the establishment of a paid part-time position from Feb. 25 to April 8, during the election campaign.
The person would work in the Senate offices two hours each weekday to provide election information and receive declarations from candidates. The extra position would require an addition to the committee's budget.
The full Senate allocated a $6,289 budget for this spring's elections at its meeting Wednesday after the elections committee requested $2,089 for advertising, in addition to the original $5,200 budget.
Victor Osmolak, Glenview, III., senior and committee co-chairman, said he had ordered 20,000 color-coded ballots to be used in the elections. Each school will have its own color. The system will speed up the ballot counting, he said.
The committee appointed committee members Melissa Kleeinholz, Topeka junior, and Bill Less. Topeka sophomore, to the Elections Review Board. Board members supervise the elections, assist at voting booths and review election results.

Don Snellback hasn't worked for anyone but himself since he started college four years ago.
Enterprises build resumes
Student-owned stores big business
Already Snellback, Deerfield,
Ill., senior, majoring in business,
can list on his resume a house-
painting business in Chicago and a
moving business that he operated
between Lawrence and Chicago.
He now spends 30 hours a week working for Jayhawk Design, a party favor business, that Snellback and partner Greg Scott, Overland Park sophomore, started in the fall.
Snellback founded these businesses and a few others.
"We have noticed that some party favor companies are more concerned with getting the order than providing quality service." says a says Akiyah Design flier.
Don Snellback, left, Deerfield, Ill., senior, and Greg Scott, Overland Park sophomore, show off some of the party favors they have designed for clients. Last fall, the two founded Jayhawk Design, a company that makes and sells party favors.
Snellback said he saw a need for a more service-oriented business, so he invested $1,000 of his savings and started one.
Jayhawk Design began operating last semester and is now campus-wide. In addition to Snellback and Scott, the business employs four artists and four sales representatives.
"I can get anything." he said.
Snellback stresses employee service and product diversity with choices such as German beer, snowboards, sportswear and glassware.
I'm going anywhere, he said.
Student-owned sportswear stores are not new to Lawrence.
Mike Mitchell, Lawrence, and Bo Jones, Newton, both graduate students in business, started J & M Favors, when they were sophomores.
"We did all the sales work ourselves." Mitchell said.
Mitchell said the two borrowed $2,000 and started the business in a small office. Mitchell said J & M loaned more than $1 million last year.
"We're not threatened by new businesses," he said. J & M has more than 30,000 "Beak-em" HIRE's shirts, among other items.
The two partners talked of selling the business after finishing their undergraduate study, he said.
This summer they plan to move their business, recently renamed JM & M Sportswear, from its location to W. 23th St. to the Kansas City Mall.
The business consumes about 70 hours a week of Mitchell's time.
Snellback also spends many hours working at Jayhawk Design.
"I never see him," said his roommate Paul Scheer, Lenexa senor. "He is always on the phone."
Either way, Snellback is a salesman and an adamant, self-proclaimed entrepreneur.
Scheer estimated that their phone rang 30 times a day.
"That's an exaggeration," Snell back said, "I get about 20."
Fliers at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, 1537 Tennessee, where Snellback lives, announce that an eyewear catalog is available in his room. And house members decorated the door of his "office" with a caricature of the Jayhawk Design business card.
Snellback also sells Vuarnet sunglasses.
But Snellback is serious about his business and anticipates that Jayhawk Design will break even this spring.
Embassy guards moved
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps has recalled at least five of its U.S. Embassy guards in Moscow in the two months since another guard was charged with spying for the Soviets, Pentagon sources said yesterday.
One source, who demanded anonymity, said the recalls had been prompted by allegations that some of
The transfers do not involve allegations of espionage, but rather charges that certain military "good conduct" regulations were violated, officials said.
the guards had allowed an unauthorized visitor into their barracks.
Robert Sims, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, declined to discuss the transfers or say how many men had been moved. But he said none of the moves involved espionage allegations.
The sources said the Marines had been transferred to the Quantico Marine Base in northern Virginia pending completion of an "administrative inquiry" that bore no relation to the probe of Sgt. Clayton J. Lonetree.
