University Dally Kansan
Laudermilk a jack of all sports
By KEN STONE
Associate Sports Editor
For the past couple of years, Debbie
Landemark has been taking it easy.
She has been a starter on the University of Kansas women's volleyball team that has played in the national championships, a member of the Lady Jayhawks basketball and a key outfielder on the softball team that has placed in the College World Series.
FOR THE VERSATTE Laudernik, a
teacher at South High School,
that's easy going.
During her freshman year at KU, she lettered in field hockey as well as in volleyball, basketball and softball. And to keep her muscles from atrophying in the summer, she played with an American Softball Association club in Wichita.
The nearest thing to an institution in the women's athletic department, Laudermilk will, by the time she graduates in May, probably have:
—earned her 13th letter as a KU athlete;
--competed in her sixth national cham-
dition:
—been elected captain of a squad for the fourth time;
—and finished her career as one of the most prolific competitor's in KU history on the field.
BUT THAT'S LAUDERMILK'S way of relaxing. When she means to be active—really active, it's easier to list what sports she plays than to advertise high school activity is a case in point.
"They had a pretty good program," Laudermark recalls of Wichita South. "I played hockey, tennis, volleyball, basketball and track and field. I did everything."
Add to that the game of bowling. She was a member of a league in junior high.
EXAMINING LAUDERMILK'S background in athletics, you would expect her career goals to include intercollegiate sports and a role as an administrative; and you would be right.
"After I get my degree and my master's,
I like to go to a small college, maybe the
size of Emporia, where I could do both (coaching and administrating)," she said yesterday, two hours before her three-week vacation. Her large team you may be able to do only one thing."
LAUDRERMILK SAID SHE has had second thoughts about splitting herself between three sports rather than结合其他。She "would really, really net at it."
She even admitted that if she went to California to train for a year in her best sport, volleyball, she might have a chance of making the professional ranks.
But Laudermilk says she's glad she decided to be part of so many teams.
"One of the reasons I've wanted to play so much is because it would be the best way to learn the sport if I want to be a teacher or a coach," she said.
THE CAPTAIN of the volleyball team for the past two years and last year's basketball team captain, Leadermilk finds her gift giving advice to freshmen and sophomores.
Laudermilk's volleyball career began in 9th grade

"At times, in volleyball, when some of the freshmen or sophomores were having problems, I tried to help them," she said. "I felt a relief to talk to them and try to solve it."

Competing, training, competing, training,
Season after season. Year after year. Has
laudermilk felt the need to make a special
motivation motivated? Doesn't she ever tire of it?
"There are some things that I can say, as a senior, that the coach can't say, or get across, especially when the person isn't talking to the coach."
"I got tired of it last summer," she said. "That's because she had a shoulder injury. It hurt her so much that wasn't able to play softball. Laudermikz gets tired when she has nothing to do."
