Washington has no record of alleged SAVAK agent
By JOHN MUELLER
Staff Reporter
The spokesman, who asked not to be identified, is from the department's internal security section of its criminal division. He said the department had no record of Kambiz Zibail, Tehran, Iran, special student, who the KU Iranian Students Association (ISA) says is a SAVAK agent.
The federal government has no record of a man alleged to be an agent of the Iranian secret police (SAVAK) at the University of Kansas, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice.
The ISA has accused Zibail of attacking one of its members Feb. 25, and the person allegedly attacked them.
FEDERAL STATUTES require all agents of a foreign government to register with the justice department. The spokesman said legal loopholes allowed many foreign agents not to register.
The spokesman also said he wouldn't discount the possibility of SAVAK infiltration of U.S. college
"You're in the big leagues now."
"I'd be careful with them (SAVAK)," he said. There are stories that they have a hit guy running out of the store.
The FBI is investigating allegations of SAVAK activities in the United States. The FBI investigation was prompted by U.S. Rep. Donald Fraser, D-Minn., chairman of the House International Organizations subcommittee.
A subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee had hearings relating to SAVAR.
A SPOKESMAN contacted Thursday by telephone at the Iranian embassy in Washington said there might be a few SAVAK agents in the country, but declined further comment.
Zibail has consistently declined comment on whether he attacked the Iranian student or was a member of SAVAK. The University is investigating the alleged attack.
The allegedly attacked Iranian student has asked not to be identified, saying he fears reprisals against his parents. His parents live in Iran, where the student hopes to return someday.
The student has filed a formal complaint about the attack, the Kansan learned yesterday. A written report at the KU Police headquarters indicated that the student made the complaint Tuesday.
ACCORDING TO the report, the student said he was attacked Feb. 25 near Potter Lake while walking to his car. The student also said that during the attack, 25 attack, he was threatened with further attacks.
The student, when interviewed Saturday, said he and he hastened to file a complaint because he feared the school had been unresponsive.
"Get out of the ISA," the student quoted his alleged
attacker as saying in the report. "The next time, you will be hurt worse."
At least two American students say they witnessed the attack, Jim Surber and Richard Seaman, Lawrence juniors, have confirmed the student's version of the incident.
ISA members say another American student may have seen the incident. The student, Thomas Rockefeller, Clay Center junior, couldn't be reached for comment last night.
IN ANOTHER development, a neighbor of Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare, said she planned to contact Lawrence police today about an emailly connected with an alleged threat on Forer's life.
Forer's wife, Una, told Lawrence police last
Friday, the threat was made at 9 p.m. last Thursday when a telephone caller said, "I want to tell you Professor Norman will be shot." Foer visited Iran and performed a persecution of the Shia persecution of Iranian who oppose the Sha'i
Forer's neighbor asked not to be identified, because she said the incident she plans to report might have been related to family business problems, but she did explain the incident.
At 10:30 p.m. f. Thursday, she said, a car was parked in back of Forer's house, 635 Ohio St.

Later, she said, she went out to her garage and sound that bullet holes had been shot into her family's home.

State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, was termed "uncooperative" yesterday during an inquisition called by Kansas Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider and Douglas County attorney Robert Granted Glover complete immunity from prosecution in return for his testimony.
Schneider said yesterday that Glover had "unaccompanied and his testimony at the trial" in New York.
Schneider earlier confirmed that the purpose of the inquisition was to learn the identity of an alleged Lawrence drug dealer, whom Glover allowed to in an interview published in last Sunday's Kansas City Star.
"THE BE IS EGIVEV," Schneider said of Glover, "and at this point there is no concrete information available to move tomorrow of a breakthrough tomorrow (Thursday)."
The inquisition was to have resumed at 10 a.m. today.
Schneider's statements made clear that Glover hadn't revealed the identity of the alleged dealer during questioning yesterday.
The investigation was initiated by Schneider in response to the Star story, which quoted Glover as saying he smokes marijuana on a regular basis and purchases the weed from a dealer who makes $25,000 a year.
BECAUSE OF the immunity grant, Glover can't refuse to testify under the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, which protects a person from testifying against himself. Refusal to testify could make a subject to criminal contempt of court.
Judge Terry Bullock had ordered the start of Glover's questioning in late afternoon, soon after ruling that Glover shouldn't receive legislative immunity.
BULLOCK TOLER Glover he would protect the legislator's constitutional right not to testify about remarks he might have made during House floor debate concerning a bill
Glover sponsored that would lessen penalties for possession of marijuana.
A Shawnee County district judge had ruled earlier yesterday that the Kansas constitution didn't grant Glover legislative immunity from prosecution for criminal offenses, but Schneider granted Glover immunity during the hour-long hearing.
He said Glover also was protected for remarks he made in an apology Tuesday to

Police knew Picotte might have had gun
Staff Renorters
Kenneth Blackbird, a member of the Haskell Indian Junior College security force, said he told Lawrence police officers that he was fired because of an incident earlier on Saturday. He also said the police told him that if they found Picotee, police detective Ted Crady, acting as the senior officer, had gone first to shot if Pocette fired on them first.
Officers who shot and killed a former Haskell student Saturday night suspected he was armed, according to testimony last week, and that met at the Haskell Student Union.
The committee, composed of five students and five faculty members at Haskell, was organized Monday to independently investigate the death of Piotte. Part of the Student Senate-organized group's purpose is to take testimony from students who were killed at school when Piotte was shot and give it to Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney.
Crady wouldn't comment last night on his statements of the committee or on other issues.
Picotte, who withdrew from classes at the junior college last week, was killed in the Long Branch Saloon, 1009 Massachusetts St., Saturday night after allegedly drawing a pistol on three Lawrence police officers during an assault in a section with a local service station robbery
Blackbird said he wasn't armed and didn't detain Picotee, who walked off the campus with another student. After contacting the Lawrence Police Department, Blackbird he, went with Crady and the two other officers involved in the shooting, asked for assistance from Reese, to find Picotee Coon and Reese could not be reached last night for comment.
About 15 of the 20 students to be released were ticket writers, Ellison said, and any drop in income due to a reduced number of issued tickets wouldn't be determined until July 1. The five other students to be released are clerical workers.
They searched three bars but couldn't find Picotee, Blackbird said. Before the officers returned to Haskell to drop Blackbird off, they discussed what they would do if they found Picotee, he said, and it was too early to ensure they would shoot first if Picotee started shooting.
Dale Crawford, a member of the Haskell committee who said he witnessed Blackbird questioning Picotte, said he didn't see Picotte reach inside his jacket.
Early Saturday afternoon, Blackbird said, he approached Picotte on the Haskell campus to ask him about his status as a Haskell student.
ELLISON SAID that students weren't notified of the layoffs until Tuesday 'because until late last week he thought parking services was within its budget.
Blackbird said that as he was questioning him, P丘特 reached inside his jacket for a look. "He's really weird."
Malone said yesterday that he was planning to begin an inquisition tomorrow.
There are many witnesses to the incident, Malone said, and he wants their statements
Budget shortages cut student jobs
About 20 University of Kansas Parking Services student employees were notified Tuesday that because of budget shortages within the department they would be laid off effective tomorrow. An undisclosed number of students also received a pay in hours.
Neither Ellison nor Mike Imbrose, director of traffic and security, would disclose the Parking Services budget or the amount of the shortage because they said the department's budget problems were studied by the Office of Business Affairs.
last week. At least 40 people witnessed the shooting.
See HASKELL page five
Ellison attributed the budget shortages to a 30-cent increase in minimum wages since July, increased nighttime and weekend help and parking control during intercession, all of which were unplanned for in the 1976-77 budget.
Last week the department received computerized budget printouts indicating the costs of supplies.
Bob Ellison, director of parking services, said yesterday that the layoffs and hour cuts would reduce the number of student hours worked by 50 per cent. All students working for Parking Services are employed part-time.
THIS WAS the first year that parking during intersession was controlled.
"I felt we deserved a little more consideration," Cathy Russell, Kansas City, Kan. senior and a part-time clerical worker said of us we have worked at least months before.
THE DEPARTMENT'S income comes from sales of parking permits, traffic fines and income from toll lots, both during the season or for other reasons, events like basketball and football games.
Karen Zutter, Lawrence senior who has worked as a part-time clerical worker six months, said, "What makes me the maddest is that it's gross mismanagement. They're not going to do anything to the people who caused the problem."
There is a four to six week lag between the date of a statement and the time it is received.
Although Parking Services asked for an increase, it was denied after Tedde Tasheff, former student body president, discovered the parking fund that contained about 470,000.
ago, he said, and "after we saw those we knew what had to be done."
"THEY HAD TO know about the budget problems before yesterday. When you run out of money, you don't just look one day and say 'out of money.' You've got to do it."
The department normally employs 7 student clerical workers and 45-50 ticket
Thomas said the budget shortage was partly due to the lack of an increase in the borrowings.
Ellison said those who had been working the shortest period of time were laid off
first. All students laid off can return to their jobs June 1, he said, because the department will be paid July 1, the date beginning the new fiscal year.
But the students being dismissed didn't sympathize with Ellison and Thomas.
This afternoon, Ellison and Thomas will present a proposal to the University Council recommending that parking permits next year be increased an average of $3 apiece.
Russell said, "But that doesn't help those of us who are seniors."
The proposal was written before either Elison or Thomas knew of this year's basketball season.

Rolland has been a car salesman at Clark Motors, 2121 W. 92rd Terr., two years, and if you're in the market for a used car, Rolland will be glad to help.
THE DEALERSHIP where Rolland works has been in business 22 years. It sells new equipment and repairs.
Rolland stands with his hands in the pockets of his dark-blue leather overcoat as he surveys the aisles of used cars, which she showcases of the showroom, the glass-walled showroom.
He said that Jim Clark couldn't afford to knowingly display defective cars.
"You're going to run into bad cars any place," he said. "But if I knowingly sell a car, I'm going to take it."
"Buying a used car from a dealer such as Rolland might cost more, but it is safer thanifting through the classified ads in the car market, according to Connauer Reports.
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS usually have misconceptions about what their car is worth and what condition it in. While the local dealer hopes a customer will return, the private owner doesn't care what happens to his car once it is sold.
But if a buyer is careful, he can find a good car in the classifieds. The main reason is that the profits of the middleman's profits between the buyer and seller, so bargains often can be found in newspapers. But a buyer should be prepared to do the legal settlement himself, since the seller does not warrant.
ROLAND SAID aloud every used car he sold was covered by a warranty.
"And even if it isn't," he said, "we'll probably help him get out the car breaks and get him to a bus."
Rolland said he recommended cars he knew were in good shape, but if someone else bought them, he would not.
"If people want to spend their money, you can't really turn them down," he said.
Buying a used car that costs under $400 is
difficult, he said, and its condition will be questionable.
"A lot of people don't have much money and really can't afford a car," he said, shaking his head, "but they try to buy one without spending more than $150."
ROLLAND SCANNED the lot as customers arrived.

Spring fever hurts blood drive
The KU Blood Drive apparently fell victim to students' spring fever this week, with only 681 students donated toward the 750-mit goal.
Monte Nighwonger, campus affairs director of the Interferenza Council, said yesterday, "One guy told me he couldn't come in because he was putting up a net on a basketball goal. Another one said he had to wash his car."
Despite the low turnout, nurses from the Lawrence Red Cross, drivers of the Wichita blood program center bloodmobile and volunteer student workers from fraternities, sororities, scholarship halls and Perishing Riffles said the drive was a suc-
Jo Byers, Red Cross nurse who has worked at the KU drive the last 12 years, said, “Considering how nice it’s been, I think the turnout has been great.”
ANOTHER NURSE, Virginia Lockwood,
said "Everyone has seemed more relaxed
this year. I don't know if it's because spring
break is so close or what."
Some students who fought the urge to stay outside said they found their donations, given in the Kansas Union Ballroom, less time-consuming in past years.
"It was great this year," he said, "but
Nightwager said a donation could take from a half hour to two hours but that most people would be able to pay.

Rod Hubbard, bloodmoblie driver, said, "I just timed a guy at the biggest part of the crowd today, and it took him an hour and 15 minutes before I came in to the time he left the canteen."
that could have been because there were fewer people."
SHE SAID the sponsoring groups planned to continue this practice in the fall and also would try to increase publicity for the drive, possibly through intra-group competition.
Vicki Ehlmann, campus affairs director for the Panhellenic Association, said the addition of volunteer nurses to take care of patients helped she helped prevent backups in the waiting line.
Ehrmann said a film of the blood drive taken on Tuesday would be televised on

the fall blood drive.
BESIDES THE LACK of donors, the drive was hampered only by common minor problems such as students passing out or being disqualified for donation.
Nightwager said that due to a hot ballroom thursday, more people passed out at the club.
the heat, however, also helped speed up donations because, nurses said, students' veins were enlarged, which eased the drawing of blood.
Lucy Carney, a nurse taking students' medical histories, said 15-20 potential donors were rejected each of the three days for minor medical issues and had no reason for medication for flu, colds and hay fever were reasons for rejection, she said.
