Future of field hockey uncertain
By KEN STONE
Associate Sports Editor
Amidst rumor, reports of conflict and apparently contradictory statements, the future of the University of Kansas women's field hockey team has come into question.
The team's coach, Jane Markert, said yesterday she was told in a meeting last Thursday with Marian Washington, assistant athletic director for women's sports, that her sport had been cut from next year's budget.
"I WAS TOLD THERE would be no program and that she (Washington) gave me no budget," said Markert, KU's coach the past two years. "One of my hockey players played in the Sports Committee that hockey wasn't included in the budget."
However, Washington said last night,
“There's nothing new (to report about the
team's future). As soon as we take a look at
the budget (budget) picture, we'll make a
decision.”
Dial Shenkel, executive vice chancellor,
said this past weekend that no final decision
had been made on the future of the hockey
union. Markert said she was told there
had been.
"I WAS TOLD NOT TO talk to anyone about it and that it wouldn't be official until it came out in the papers," Markert said. "I was surprised when that announcement would be made."
Sprinters take Wichita honors
Freshman sprinters Celessa Russell and Shella Calmese collected one first-place finish, three second-place finishes and a school record between them in leading KU's class record to its second-place finish last week at the Wichita State University Relays.
Kansas State ran away with the meet, scratten 172 to Kansas' 82. Behind KU were Dodge City Junior College with 63. Fort State with 43 and Emperor State with 39.
Russell, a Topeka native, brought her best time in the 440-yard dash down from 58.1 to 56.3. A KU record. She placed second in the Charmaine Kulman, who joined in a 56.1 L.
Calmise, who says she's mistaken for a seventh-grader when her opponents opps he 41-94-pound frame, won the 100-meter dash in 12.5 and was runner-up in the 200-meter dash in 25.2, despite a stiff 15 mile an hour headwind.
Together with teammates Russell, WSU Relays 400-meter hurdle champion Sheri Lanter and Nannette Lee, Calmese added a second place in the 440-yard relay.
Other top KU performers were Jessie Riddle's shot put of 45-11, Adrian Mitchell's third place long jump of 17-3 and Carrie Waugh's fifth place in the lavinel.
Besides winning the intermediate hurdles in 1:06.4, Lanter added a fourth in the 110-meter hurdles. KU's Connie Lane was third in the intermediate hurdles behind Lanter.
According to the women's athletic department's final budget request, made available by the Sports Committee last week, the department will request $182,793 for nine intercollegiate sports. Field hockey wasn't among them.
The threat to her team's future and published statements by Shankel and Washington have caused confusion and said Marie Faust, the team's co-captain.
The team really doesn't know the truth of

"We heard some really bad rumors and "were really upset about it," she said. "And if the rumors are true, we're going to take some action."
the situation, but its members are trying to find out. Faust said.
In a hastily called meeting Sunday night, the team decided to send its representatives to meet with Shankel and Chancellor Archie R. Dykes to present reasons for keeping the sport, said Nancy Lambros, the team's other co-contain.
"WE WANTED TO TAKE action as quickly as we could because time is
Clarke paces tennis today
If you haven't seen Bill Clarke, KU's undefended 0.1 singles man, you won't get too many chances after today. Clarke will lead the KU tennis team in their 2:30 match against Northwest Missouri State on the Allen Field House courts.
KU's opponent placed in the top 10 in last year's NCAA Division II tennis championship.
After today's match, KU will have only two more home meets.
Clarke is now 15-2 after wins against Oklahoma and North Texas State in the Oklahoma City University Invitational Tournament last weekend.
The KU team split its two matches in the CU tournament, losing to Oklahoma in 4-2. The BCS championship game ended in a tie.
"Our play against Oklahoma was somewhat disappointing," coach Kirkland Gates said. "We feel we can beat them. We can't, when they come to Lawrence May 1."
After Clarke, the rest of KU's line-up is Tim Headke (10-7), at no. 2 spot; Mark Hocking (14-3), at no. 8 spot; Thomas (9-4), at no. 5 spot; baker (3-12), No. 5, and Hank Collier (3-21), at no. 6.
The doubles teams will be Clarke and Headtke (7-6) playing No. 1, Buller and Coleman (2-10) at No. 2 and Hosking and Thomas (10-4), at No. 3.
After meeting the Bearcats, KU travels to Lincoln, Neb. for a match with Nebraska to
KU plays Washburn today

By JOHN HENDEL
After a successful series against the Missouri Tigers, the University of Kansas baseball team goes on the road today to take on the Arizona State in a doubleheader at 1 p.m. in Topeka.
Mike Love (1-2) and Kevin Kerschen (3-6)
will get the starting assignments from
their teams.
Temple said yesterday he hoped the extra love for Love and Kerschen will aid the team in their quest to win. The relied mainly on the pitching of Roger Slagle, Brian Rhodes and Rob Allinder so
"THREE FITCHERS AREN'T enough," Temple said. "Love and Kersen need to pitch. I know they can do the job if they get the work."
With the doubleheader scheduled between series with Missouri and Kansas State, one would expect the Jayhawks to look past today's games. But Temple bites to differ.
"We aren't taking Washburn lightly," Temple said. "We can't think that all we have to do is take the field and we've got them beat. We're not that good.
"You have to be careful. Some of these teams can beat you even when you play."
TEMPE SAID HE THOUGHT Washburn was a good team and their secondplace finish in the Kansas Tournament last weekend supported his view.
KU played the Ichabods twice last season with the Jahyhaws capturing both games by scores of 2-1 and 12-5. Kansas will take 13-8 in the second game, playing in the tournament last weekend.
The Jayhawks travel to Manhattan April 16-17 to play Kansas State in a three-game set. The Wildcats won the Kansas Tournament, beating Washburn in the final game.
The next home action for the Jayhawks is

"KU's had a good program for the past six years," Markert said. "Our skill level is high. The field hockey team is kind of unique; they are a closely knit team. They work hard together and I think there's a value in that."

LAMBROWS, WHO RETURNS for a third year on the team at the center forward position, and Faust, who will be graduating from college, interest on campus for field hockey existed.
According to Faust, a meeting with saxett will take place tomorrow. Markert will visit the city.
In fact, Markert said, her team's only play date in Colorado this year was canceled when, midway through the season, her budget was cut.
"Bringing the issue out in the open will help a lot," Lambros said.
There has been mention of starting a club team, but Markert said she thought it would be too expensive.

CARRYING A SQUAD of 22 last year, KU's field hockey team qualified for regional competition. While only two state schools have teams (Emperor State is the other), KU has enjoyed success in Midwest play, defeating clubs and colleges from Ohio, Kentucky, Springfield and Worcester, where Central Missouri State University is located.
Markert coached at CSMU before coming to KU. She will return there next year. She has been at KU as a graduate student in college education, pursuing a doctorate in that area.
She disputed the first contention by saying that her team usually traveled no further than central Missouri. Other KU coaches make much longer trips, she said.
MARKERT'S TWO-YEAR sabbatical leave from CMSU ends this semester.
Despite her imminent departure, Market she would attempt to defend her store.

"I hope at least that we get a chance to present the positive aspects of having a field hockey team," she said. "Granted, we don't have the skill level that the eastern schools have. I don't think the reasons (given for eliminating the sport) have been total justified."

THE TWO MOST COMMON reasons for eliminating KU field hockey. Market said, were that the team often had to travel out of town to play at a venue of interest in field hockey here was low.
The women's sports department couldn't use her departure as an excuse for dropping her sport, she said, because "I don't feel they'd have any trouble finding a coach. I know of one who's already inquired about it."
