=ritain breaks diplomatic relations with Liby.
By MARK S. SMITH
Associated Press Writer
LONDON Britain broke
diplomatic relations with Libya
yesterday and gave the 20 to 30
Libyans in their besieged London
embassy a week to get out of the
country.
The move came six days after a
man firing a submachine gun from
an embassy window shot to death a
25-year-old policewoman and
Wounded - 11 Libyans demonstrating
against Col. Moammar Khadafy's
regime:
British officials conceded the
killer would almost certainly go free

embassy..

People around the world mark day with festivity, prayer
By The AisoCiated Press
Millions of Christians celebrated the resurrection of
Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, rejoicing in the
splendor of the Vatican, among the ancient stones of
Jerusalem and in the small churches and great
cathedrals of many lands. •
Russians baked holy cakes. Hungarians feasted
according to traditions centuries old. Poles filled their
churches for Mass. And in Paris, church bells pealed
across the city, sending flights of pigeons into skies
shimmering with springtime sun.
More than 350,000 people attended a Mass celebrated
by Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, and he greeted
them in 45 languages. Hundreds of thousands more
gathered at the foot of a mountain in remote Moira,
South Africa, for outdoor Protestant services.
At Canterbury Cathedral, 50 miles east of London,
the Rev. Robert Runcie, archbishop of Canterbury, told
his Anglican flock that Christ's resurrection forged the
Christian belief in healing energy that followed the
destruction of his crucifixion.
"This is the power that Jesus has let loose in the
world," Runcie said. "Its evidence is to be seen
everywhere hatred is transformed into love, bitterness

and displeasure" at the British
move: It did not say when the
embassy occupants would leave
London.
The statement, carried on Libyan
television with the broadcast
monitored here, said: "This British
decision has come amid an
atmosphere of acute tension created
by the British government, which
paved the way for it by launching a
racialist campaign of hatred against
the Libyan Arab people."
It added, however, that "The
Libyan people are anxious to
provide all security and care" for
the 8,000 Britons living in Libya.
Richard Luce, the foreign office
minister of state, said Britain
ordered the expulsion of the
embassy occupants because of
Libya's "flagrant abuse" of
diplomatic immunity. He termed the

Many celebrants used the day to make strong
statements.
John Paul, speaking to Roman Catholic pilgrims in
front of St. Peter's Basilica, appealed for an end to the
"feverish preparation" of war materials and for a halt
to torture and terrorism.
Toward the end of the Mass, about 10,000 people
marched to the Vatican to protest hunger and nuclear
arms. The demonstration was organized by peace and
disarmament groups.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators including
16,000 in Hamburg marched through dozens of West
German cities to protest U.S. nuclear missiles and the
policies of President Reagan, said police and protest
organizers.
In the pope's native Poland, where 90 percent of the
37 million people are Catholics, Cardinal Jozef Glemp
said Mass and praised the determination of high school
students who rebelled against attempts by Communist
authorities to remove crucifixes from school walls.
The "crucifix crusade," ended April 6 when
authorities agreed to permit a few crosses to remain in
the schools.

shooting a "totally unacceptable and
unprecedented breach of British
law, international law and the
Vienna Convention on diplomatic
relations."
Luce, briefing reporters at the
Foreign Office, said the British
ambassador to Libya, Oliver Miles,
and his staff would return home
within the same April 29 midnight
deadline given the Libyans.
The Reagan administration gave
its full support to the British action,
according to deputy White House
press secretary Larry Speakes,
traveling with President Reagan
aboard Air Force One to Honolulu.
Washington ordered Khadafy to
close his embassy in Washington in
1981, citing its alleged "support for
international terrorism."
Shortly after Luce's
announcement, a police car
Dormitory sales dispute
returns to court today
The' University and American
Future Systems, Inc., will return to
court today, continuing the drawn
out dispute over dormitory
solicitation policy.
. M. Lee Uperaft, director of
counseling and health services and
one of the litigants in the case, said
the University will argue that it is
not a state action institution, and
therefore is not an instrument of
the state.
Uperaft was director of
residential life programs when the
case was initiated.
If the University is not
considered a state action
institution, then as a private
institution the University could
enforce the policy it chooses, he
said. State action institutions are
required to uphold freedom of
speech rights.
However, the question of whether
the University is a state action
institution or not is a serious one for
students to consider, said Edward
M. Satell, president of AFS.
When asked how First
Amendment rights of students
would be affected if the University
is found not to be a state action
institution, University attorney
Delbert J. McQuaide said students
may lose some legal rights
guaranteed by the U.S.
Constitution.
However, the University will still

Later a reporter for the
independent London Broadcasting
Corp. telephoned the embassy and
asked if the occupants would leave.
"Yes, we have to," was the reply.
The reporter asked if they would
wait until the end of the seven-day
period and the Libyan said, "Yes."
Authorities have estimated there
are 20 to 30 people inside the
embassy.
Home Secretary Leon Brittan said
the visas of all Libyans in Britain
would be carefully scrutinized and
he would expel any whose presence
was found to be "against the
national interest." He said that in
the future "only in the most
exceptional circumstances will

be subject to freedom of speech
rights guaranteed by the state
constitution, he said.
Uperaft said the University is not
looking at the case from a First
Amendment point of view.
"Nobody is sitting around saying
`Whoopee, we're going to violate
the constitutional rights of
students,' " he said.
Uperaft said the University has a
moral obligation to students to
uphold their freedom of speech
rights and will continue to respect
them as it has in the past..
The University is seeking a'
reversal by the U.S. Court of
Appeals of an earlier decision in
favor of AFS by the U.S. District
Court.
In the previous decision, the
University was permanently
enjoined from enforcing a section
of its policy that limited solicitation
of products or money to the student
who invites the solicitors, as
opposed to soliciation to groups of
students.
The section also limited
solicitation and sales to the
student's room.
'District Judge Malcolm Muir
said the section violated the
constitutional rights of student
litigants who lived in residence
halls.
AFS has argued that the policy
violates freedom of speech rights
granted in the First Amendment of
the U.S. Constitution, James T.
Moughan, attorney for AFS and
Libyan nationals be admitted to this
country."
There are an estimated 7,500
Libyans in Britain, including 5,000
with student visas. Officials said
about 4,000 of the students are here
under Libyan government grants.
Luce said the 8,000 Britons in,
Libya were not being advised to
leave at once but should "consider
their position carefully."
He added: "We have made clear
to the Libyan authorities that we
hold them,responsible for the safety
of our people."
Brittan said that as the Libyans
leave the embassy, they would be
questioned about their status and
searched for arms and explosives.
But he conceded the British would
not be able to detect any weapons

several student litigants, said
Friday.
The overriding question of the
case is "Can the University tell
students they cannot invite people
into their rooms," Moughan said.
The University, in the brief
compiled by University attorneys
for the case, argued group sales
demonstrations could disrupt and
invade the privacy of students, lead
to large numbers of persons
seeking to conduct business
transactions in the dorms and thus
pose security problems, harm the
ability of the University to attract
students to the residence halls, and
require the University to divert its
personnel and resources to
regulation of the activity.
The Student Association of the
State University of New York, Inc.,
and the American Civil Liberties
Foundation have each filed amicus
briefs in favor of the student
appellees in the case, who are
named as litigants with AFS. Both
say that the University's
solicitation policy violates freedom
of speech rights of students.
However, the Assobiation of
Residence Hall Students has
supported the University's policy
In a Dec. 15, 1982, article in The
Daily Collegian, ARHS
representatives after conducting
an informal survey of student
opinion said that most students
favored the closed-door policy the.
University had regarding
solicitation.
Moughan said the University's
attempt to argue it does not come
under state action will not work.
"Our position is that this is
ridiculous. I think it is a desperate
argument," he said.
bags, which are inviolate under the
1961 Vienna Convention.
The expulsion was grudgingly
accepted by lawmakers from the
ruling Conservative Party. "It is
outrageous that the murderer . .
should escape justice, but one has to
accept that the man who pulled the
trigger was acting on the orders of
the real murderer, Col. Khadafy,"
said Jill Knight, a Conservative
member of Parliament.
Luce's statement in effect accused
Libya of using diplomatic immunity
for terrorist purposes. During the
negotiations with Libya, he said,
Britain had demanded an assurance
that "all weapons and explosives"
be removed from the embassy "and
that their buildings in the United
Kingdom were no longer capable of
being used as a base for terrorist
acts."
Time names
nation's best
newspapers
NEW YORK (AP) The New
York Times, The Los Angeles
Times and The Washington
Post have made Time
magazine's list of the nation's
top 10 newspapers for the third
time.
They were joined by The
Boston Globe, The Chicago
Tribune, The Des Moines
Register, The Miami Herald,
The Philadelphia Inquirer, The
St. Petersburg Times and The
Wall Street Journal.
Time, which named its top 10
newspapers in 1974 and 1964,
said two papers on its 1974 list
which didn't repeat, The
Louisville Courier-Journal and
The Milwaukee Journal, were
hampered by "the limited
newsiness of the areas they
cover."
A third newspaper on the 1974
list which did not repeat,
Newsday of Long Island, is
"vigilant and bright" but is
ranked among newspapers that
"might qualify for more
national influence if they were
not overshadowed by even
better nearby competitors."
Time said it compiled its list
by examining "imaginative
staff coverage of regional,
national and foreign issues;
liveliness in writing, layout and
graphics.
