Roy Williams, Kansas men's basketball coach, expresses his concerns about the impact of new NCAA rules at his weekly news conference.
KU coaches oppose NCAA requirements
By Jenni Carlson and Christoph Freuhmans Kansan sportswriters
Following the approval of new freshmen eligibility requirements, the NCAA once again has drawn the ire of men's and women's basketball coaches across the United States.
Kansas basketball coaches Roy Williams and Marian Washington are no exceptions.
"I am very, very disappointed." Washington said. "I just think that we are here to try to provide opportunities for our kids, and what we're doing is something different."
This week, college presidents voted that, starting in Fall 1996, incoming freshmen must have a 2.5 grade point average in 13 college-prep courses and a 700 SAT or 17 ACT score. Freshmen with a 2.0 GPA will be eil-
gible if they earn a score of 900 on the SAT or 21 on the ACT. Current standards require only a2.0 GPA in 11 college-prep courses.
"I'm totally against that has an SAT or ACT scoured to it," Williams said. "I think there are many examples every year of kids who may not do well on the test scores but end up doing pretty doggone well in the classroom."
Other changes made by the NCAA include: Freshmen with a

¥00 SAT or 15 ACT score and a 2.75 GPA are considered partial qualifiers and can be given full athletic scholarships. These players can practice but can't play during their freshmen year.
Partial qualifiers will not be able to gain a fourth year of eligibility even with satisfactory academic improvement. The proposed measure failed to pass for the sixth consecutive year.
"I certainly support the partial qualifiers getting that year paid," Washington said. "But I also support that they should have the right, if they demonstrate success here, to earn that fourth year back."
Student athletes will not be allowed to work for money during the academic school year. A proposal to allow student athletes to earn as much as $1,500 a year did not pass.
"I think it's ridiculous, kids not being able to make money," Williams said. "Who are we penalizing? We're penalizing the kids because of our ignorant attitudes, and you can tell that to any college president who voted for it."
Henley arrested for alleged battery
Woman says he pushed her during an argument at Jayhawker Towers
By Teresa Veazey Kansan staff writer
Sophomore tailback Charles "June" Henley was arrested yesterday in the Jayhawker Towers courtyard after a woman reported that he had shoved her to the ground, KU police said.
Tracie L. Simmons, a 19-year-old
Lawrence resident, said that she and Henley were returning to the Towers after seeing a movie. Simmons reported that she was pushed by Henley in the car while they were arguing.
At the Towers, Henley and Simmons continued arguing in the
Charles Henley
courtyard. At that point, Henley shoved Simmons to the ground, police said.
KU police were called to the scene by Simmons and spoke with Ericka Corbin, also of Lawrence, who was with Simmons and Henley in the courtyard.
Simmons, who did not report any injuries, left the scene.
Henley was later arrested by KU police and taken to the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center.
District Court Judge Paula Martin set bond at $500 and released Henley at 3:35 p.m. yesterday. The district attorney's office did not have time to review Henley's case and had not filed charges before Henley's bond hearing.
Henley's next court appearance is at 3 p.m.
on Jan. 26.
Martin ordered Henley not to have contact with Simmons or visit her house. Contact with Henley's and Simmons' child must be arranged by a third party, she said.
After the hearing, Kevin Lund, Henley's attorney, had no comment on Henley's case.
In May, Henley was convicted for a shoplifting incident that occurred at the 1/2 Price Store, 2727 Iowa St, in November 1993.
Doug Vance, assistant director for Sports Information, had no comment on the case. Kansas football coach Glen Mason could not be reached for comment.

King's efforts carried on today
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and many at the University of Kansas say it is still alive and must not be forgotten.
By Eduardo A. Molina
Kansan staff writer
More than 30 years after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, members of the African-American community at the University of Kansas agreed that the struggle for equality continued, but King's dream was still alive.
Gregory Frost, president of the Black Faculty and Staff Council, agreed that King's dream always would live.
"His ideas are important for the KU community because we are fragmented," Bryan said. "We have to work together to work out differences."
For Maurice Bryan, director of KU's Office of Affirmative Action, King's dream will never die because his message of unity was not exclusively for African-Americans.
"We still have today individuals who were a part of the civil rights movement who are fighting to
remind the young people not to forget the things of the past," Frost said. "Also, many young African-Americans who have succeeded in this system are trying to go back to their communities and give something back to their communities by volunteering for various programs."
"In the past, the civil rights movement focused on opening doors to African-Americans," he said. "Today, the access is here, and we have more opportunities. But some of the younger African-Americans are not aware of the struggle and sacrifice that many people had to make in order to get all the privileges we have now."
Frost said the movement was different now, but the future of the movement had to be a part of the lives of the new generations.
Frost said King's legacy helped many African-Americans achieve higher positions in society.
today if it were not for the efforts of Dr. King, Malecolm X, some of the other scholars and people involved in the civil rights movement," he said.
"Many of us would not be here
Edwin Norris, Colorado Springs,
Colo., sophomore, said his generation
was trying to continue the movement started more than 30
years ago.
Norris said his generation was trying to expand the values King advocated.
"My generation is more militant," Norris said. "We do not advocate violence, but we don't turn the cheek. The dream is still alive because we have to overcome more obstacles to get equality."
Norris said getting a degree was his way of keeping King's dream alive. Norris, an education major, wants to teach minorities.
"I want to continue with Dr. King's dream by helping minorities to get a critical mind and to use their heads instead of their fists," he said.
Celebration to feature '60s leader
By Eduardo A. Molina Kansan staff writer
Julian Bond, a civil rights leader who started sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Atlanta, will be the featured speaker for this weekend's Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in Lawrence.
The theme of this year's events, which are organized by Ecumenical Fellowship, is "Building a Healthy Community (Strength to Climb)."
Leo Barbee, a Lawrence minister and a member of Ecumenical Fellowship, said his organization wanted to inspire people to bring about healthy relations in the Lawrence community.
Barbee said that Bond was the best person to address the theme of this year's celebration.
Bond was nationally recognized in 1966 when he won a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives. Before the Supreme Court stepped in two years later, Bond's colleagues had refused to accept him as a representative.
Bond studied English at Morehouse College in Atlanta. While there, he took a philosophy class taught by King.
Later, he taught at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where his class "Race and Class" dealt with the modern civil rights movement.
Jessica Keith, president of the Black Student Union, said she was glad Bond was coming to KU. She said the speech would be a call to the new generation to continue with the movement that King and others started.
Bond will speak tomorrow at a banquet in the Kansas Union Ballroom. A dinner preceding the speech will begin at 6:30 p.m. The speech is free, but tickets for the dinner are $10 for KU students and $20 for non-students. Tickets can be purchased at the Student Union Activities box office in the Kansas Union, the Cross Reference Bookstore, 2449 Iowa St., and the Office of Minority Affairs in Strong Hall.

Graves budgets 5 percent increase for KU
Money goes toward salaries, expenses
By Matt Hood Kansan staff writer
Gov. Bill Graves' newly submitted budget, if approved by the Legislature, will mean more money for KU, said Chancellor Del Shankel.
"It indicates that he's putting a priority on education," Shankel said.
Graves presented a $7.75 billion budget Wednesday to the Legislature.
The budget includes a request for a 3.5 percent increase in faculty and student worker salaries and a 1.5 percent increase in university operating expenses.
Operating expenses include all nonsalary expenses of the University, from equipment for classrooms and labs to pencils and
paper.
Shankel said that he had hoped for more than the 1.5 percent increase but said that more money might be approved when the Legislature reviews Graves' recommendations.
The 1.5 percent increase is less than the Board of Regents and the University had hoped for, Shankel said. The Regents had requested a 3.5 percent increase for operating costs.
Shankel said he was pleased with the proposed increase in faculty and student worker pay. He estimated that the proposed increase, after adjustment for inflation, would be about 0.5 percent.
"I think it will be helpful in maintaining faculty morale," Shankel said. "What the governor has proposed is a rational and reasonable response to the University's requests." Graves also recommended $3.2 million for KU to help offset a shortfall in tuition money. Last semester, 1,000 fewer students enrolled at KU, causing an unexpected shortage.
Approximately $800,000 was recommended for new equipment.
The Associated Press contributed information to this story.
The School of Pharmacy and the School of Law were also slated to get extra money. The School of Pharmacy would be allotted $120,000 to finance a doctorate program. The School of Law would be allotted $200,000 as the last installment in a three-year plan to increase faculty salary, financial aid for students and law library holdings.
Graves called the budget a part of his "more with less" state government, but some of his Republican colleagues may make his administration do with even less than he proposed.
"I'm not going to say it's too high," said House budget committee Chairwoman Robin Jennison, R-Healy. "But I guarantee you the Appropriations Committee is going to try to come in under it."
Proposed Budget
Gov. Bill Graves' proposed fiscal year 1996 budget will give KU faculty a 3.5 percent pay increase. However, some miscellaneous programs that KU requested funding for were either under-funded or denied.
