Show The Daily Utah Chronicle, Tuesday, January 21, Page SU 1984 EDITORIAL Libyan students '' deserve to stay The Reagan administration has been praised and criticized for its hardline stance against the Libyan government. But in spite of its tough attitude toward Col. Moammar Khadafy, the administration has shown surprising compassion toward Libyan students studying in the United States. Although all other economic ties between the United States and Libya have been severed, Khadafy's government will be allowed to continue subsidizing the 1,200 Libyan students in this country. J. x New students from Libya will also be permitted to attend U.S. colleges. This decision is important because it shows that the Reagan administration is capable of distinguishing between the Libyan government and the Libyan people. Whether or not we agree with Khadafys actions, we are obligated to be hospitable and unprejudiced toward Libyans studying here. Our national tradition involves the willingness to provide a higher education to people from all over the world regardless of their government's policies. It would be hypocritical and unjust to deny anyone access to knowledge just because our leaders are displeased with their leaders. Showing compassion to foreigners visiting or living in the United States will do more to stop terrorism and misunderstanding between nations than any economic sanctions or political reprimands.
