he said the forum would be open to everybody.
Security for the event will be provided by KU police and paid for by Foubert's group at $450 an hour.
Foubert said he was attempting to raise the necessary funds through donations. He said he would ask Student Senate for some additional funds but would not specify whom he was soliciting. He said he was not receiving financial support from the Klan.
Jim Denney, director of KU police, said that he was reviewing the situation and discussing security plans for the forum.
"Nobody invited them. We will treat the Skinheads as members of the crowd," Foubert said. "If they illegally interfere, then they will be considered as lawbreakers. They are potentially dangerous. But I have had assurances from the Klan that no violence would occur."
Foubert said that he was still concerned about the Klan's statement that they would bring 20-25 Klansmen and Skinheads as observers.
J. Allen Moran, exalted cyclops of the Missouri Knights, a Klan affiliate, said that the Skinheads and other Klansmen would be in street clothes, unarmed and would only observe.
However, Foubert said that the Skinheads might try to provoke the crowd into making the first move.
"They like to look like they're the victim. We will try and control that," Foubert said.
Foubert said that the confirmed participants in the forum were still Ted Frederickson, associate professor of journalism, Moran and Thom Robb of Harrison, Ark., who calls himself the national pastor of the Klan. He said that Russ Ptacek, the KJHK host who invited the Klan for JayTalk 9 two weeks ago, would be on the questioning panel.
roubert said that he was asking three other students to participate in the forum but would not reveal any names. He would not say whether anyone in the black community had agreed to participate.
"Wednesday, the chances were slim this would be pulled off," Foubert said. "Now, we're 75 percent closer to our goal. What will determine the forum on as planned is what happens today."
Foubert said that the decision on whether the forum would be canceled would be released at 3 p.m. today.
demonstrate peacefully on Monday night if the Klansmen came to KU. If the forum is canceled, the group decided that they will organize a peaceful protest to show unity against all forms of racism and oppression. That protest would take place at a later date.

Some at the meeting said they thought that many people wrongly believed that protesters, by opposing the Klansmen's participation in the forum, were arguing against freedom of speech.
The Rev. Leo Barbee, pastor of Victory Bible Church, suggested that the group do nothing Monday night during the forum. He was concerned that a demonstration could call attention to the Klan and possibly fuel a dispute, which he said some people wanted only to exploit the controversy.
Group members said they wanted people to understand that they did not dispute the Klansmen's right to appear at KU. They said their protest was against what the Klan stood for.
The meeting, which lasted about two hours, featured concerns about false perceptions born out of the tensions surrounding the Klan visit.
"We are against the Klan," said Dana Crow, Topeka senior and president of Hillel, a campus Jewish organization. "We don't believe in their ideology, but people have a

Pearl Rovaris, Topea senior, said that the Klansman's visit did not involve a free speech issue and that the fear she felt in the face of the Klan's inherent hatred toward her made such issues unimportant.
right to hear them."
She said that people who considered free speech the only issue did not understand the fear she felt knowing that she and other blacks, simply because of the color of their skin, could become victims of physical violence by the Klan.
Crow said that another misconception fostered by the media was that the tension concerned only blacks.
the tension contained in sagt.
"It is important we are not silent," she said. "We have genuine fear." Kanyan report tool Zeff contributed.
