Reagan 'silly,' Khadafy says
Continued from Page 1.
selves write some reports about these
false matters, like assassination or
something like this. Anyhow, we want
investigation, to see the truth, and let the
American people and the Libyan people
and the congress of America to know the
truth, who is liar: Reagan or Libya.
Q: Well, on another economic matter,
Colonel, the American . . .
A: I am challenging them. I am chal
lenging them to make this investigation.
Q: You challenge them to make an
investigation of this plot?
A: Yes, yes, yes.
Q: On an economic matter, sir, the
American oil company Exxon has decid
ed to end its operations here in Libya.
Why did they make that decision? Was it
political, or economic?
A: Yes, I said it is in accordance with
the demand of Reagan administration,
and this company (unintelligible) under
the pressure of Reagan administration to
get out.
Q: Have other companies indicated to
you that they're going to leave too?
A: Not yet, but we did all the prepara
tions to face any position like this, and it
is evidence that the policy of Reagan is
destroying the interests of the American
companies and the American people.
Because the company got benefit from
its work here, and also Libya, by this
cooperation, this company and other
companies, American companies, gets
benefits of course, but (off-caibera
voice: mutual benefit), Reagan policy
destroyed this interest, this benefit of
this American company.
And he is going to destroy the interests
Student admits to grade changing
By RON CROW
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A Material Science 201 student confessed to changing his
grade by stealing several grade sheets from Associate Prof.
Peter Thrower's grade book before returning photocopies of the
'sheets late Fall Term, but denied taking any of the class's
homework assignments.
Thrower said the student, whom he declined to identify,
changed two of his quiz grades and traced over the other grades
on the sheet in his own handwriting. He added two points to his
grade.
"I don't know why he would go to all that trouble just to give
himself two points," Thrower said. "This wouldn't do him that
much good.
"After the story came out in the Collegian, I was reasonably
sure who did it," Thrower said.
When the grade sheets were returned, Thrower said, the
numeral seven was written differently. Three people in the
class wrote their sevens that way, he said.
"After that it was just a process of elimination," he said.
"Also, when I was trying to reconstruct everyone's grades by
having them bring in their quizzes this student couldn't find two
of the other American companies and the
interests of the American people itself.
And the people, American people must
know and the American congress must
know and all the American companies
must know. This bad policy which is
destroying its benefits, its interests in
Libya.
Q: In other words you're saying, Colo
nel, the administration, the Reagan ad
ministration is forcing the oil companies
to leave Libya?
A: Yes, it is true.
Q: But won't that hurt your country,
sir, since America is one of your best
customers for your oil? You get a lot of
revenue from the United States.
A: Huh?
Q: I said, won't that hurt Libya, be
cause America is one of Libya's best
customers for oil?
A: Sorry, I don't get you. (off-camera
voice, apparently translating.)
Q: I say, won't, if the American oil
companies pull out ,of Libya, won't that
hurt your country? Because the United
States' is a big customer for Libyan oil.
A: Anyhow, we did all our best to face
this position.
Q: You don't need America as a cus
tomer for your oil? You'll sell it else
where?
A: Of course we need them, but if they
go we have to do without them.
Q: I'd like to ask you a kind of ambigu
ous kind of a question. Why do you think
the United States, this great power, is
picking on little Libya? Is it something
you've done or is it something they've
done? But why would they do that? Why
would a president . . .

of his quiizes. These were the same quizzes that were
changed."
After Thrower spoke to his class about the stolen grade
sheets, the student who stole the sheets talked •to another
professor and friend about the situation. His friend advised him
to admit to stealing the grade sheets. .
The student confessed to John H. Hoke, head of the metallur
gy department, who then told Thrower. Thrower said the
situation was then in the hands of University Police Services.
Hoke said the student said, "I guess I'm the ope you're
looking for."
"I think the opportunity struck him and he just did it on the
spur of the moment," Hoke said. "He then tried to extricate
himself and just got in deeper and deeper."
Hoke said the student will probably face automatic dismissal.
Donald T. Suit, director of the Office of Conduct Standards,
would not comment on any disciplinary action that had been
taken. But, Thrower said the student will probably be sus
pended for three terms.
"This is very sad for , me," Thrower said. "I hate to see
anyone in that sort of position.
"This is still an unsatisfactory situation because we don't yet
know who was taking the homework assignments."
REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED
A: You have•to ask Reagan. You have
to ask United States governinent. You
have to ask them. Why? We also very
surprised. And you ask why.
Q: Sir, if you could talk to President
Reagan, what would you tell him, right
now?
A: Huh?
Q: If you could speak to President
Reagan, right now, what would you tell
him?.
A: We have to tell him, what is the
reason? Are you mad? Why are you
acting terroristic against us, against this
small people? We are a small people,
that wants to be free, to be nonaligned, to
develop our country. But they are
against us, for nothing.
Q: So you're waiting for the U.S. gov
ernment to give you evidence of a plot
against the life of President Reagan?
That there is no Libyan plot.
A: We are ready to make judgment
this investigation, to see this evidence.
Because we are sure we haven't sent any
people to kill Reagan or any other people
in the world, and we want to see these big
lies. But anyhow, finally I want to say,
we as I said, emphasize again, we feed up
as a people, as a country, as a person, as
citizens, because of this terrorist policy
against us. And we have to face this
difficulty.
Q: You once told me that you were
ready to go to war against the United
States. Do you still feel that way?
A: We are ready to face America and
to (off-camera voice: defend), we will
not avoid a war with America in the
Mediterranean sea,, and in our territo
ries.
