"If the event occurs, there will be a strong community and public reaction," he said.
Foubert said he had to check on the money needed to provide security for the event and on the panel members because some had withdrawn.
Security costs for the event have been estimated at $450 an hour.
Vickie Thomas, University general counsel, said that when organizations sponsor events they must pay for additional costs such as extra security. If Foubert didn't provide security for the event, the University would be liable for any injuries that might occur only if it were negligent or had violated someone's rights.
Pete Rowland, associate professor of political science, said he would not be on the panel because no blacks would be participating.
Foubert said that no blacks had agreed to participate in the forum and that two people had withdrawn their participation.
Diana Prentice, instructor in communication studies, said she would not be the moderator for the event because of scheduling problems and
because the panel was not coming along the way she had hoped.
Charles Howard, Clarksville, Ark., graduate student and teaching assistant in communication studies, said he might consider replacing Prentice as the event's moderator, depending on the panelists.
Ted Frederickson, associate professor of journalism, said he would speak on freedom of expression as a panelist "although I don't think that they (the Klan) believe in free expression."
Russ Ptacek, Wichita junior and host of the radio show JayTakl91, said he had accepted Foubert's invitation to act as a questioner of the panelists. Ptacek would be covering the forum for the student radio station KJHK. Faculty members at the station recently canceled a campus visit of the Klan to appear on the show.
"There is some value in listening to what they have to say," he said. "You learn what hate groups are all about."
J. Allen Moran, exalted cyclops of the Missouri Knights, said 20 to 25 Klanmen and Skinheads would be present at the forum to provide security for the two Klan panelists. He also indicated an interest in setting up an information table near the forum.
Moran said that the Klan would not file a planned lawsuit against the University if Monday's forum was not canceled.
He said that both he and Klan pastor Thomas Robb of Harrison, Ark., would be panelists in the discussion.
But Foubert said that the Klan would not be allowed to distribute information and that the additional Klansmen and Skinheads would not provide security.
He said he was debating whether to reserve the forum for only people associated with the University or open it to the public.

Companies told to stop aspirin ads
The Associated Press
ROCKVILLE, Md. — Prodded by the Food and Drug Administration, pharmaceutical companies agreed yesterday to avoid any advertising that claims aspirin can help prevent a first heart attack, despite a report in a medical journal that draws this conclusion.
At a news conference, FDA Commissioner Frank E. Young said he had told the manufacturers that if they promoted their products for a use not supported by an FDA analysis, they could be guilty of mislabeling, which could lead to regulatory action by the FDA
He said the manufacturers agreed to use voluntary restraint and to stop further promotion of aspirin as a protection against a first heart attack.
