K-State wrong on ticket policy
There's a certain flavor, an excitement that can't be transmitted over the airwaves. To truly appreciate a KU-K-State game, one has to be there.
There's something about a KU-K-State basketball game that can't be captured on television.
That's why it's so disturbing that Kansas State didn't allow KU any student tickets for the game. For the first time in years, KU had a response to "Eat tme up, eat 'em up."
ones who come out on the short end. They are the ones who have to stay home and watch the game on TV, not the administrators.
The KU-K Game game isn't just a basketball game. It goes beyond that. The game's the main attraction, but the 90-mile course makes the 90-mile route to Manhattan.

KSU" won't ring through Ahearn Field House.
OH YES, K-STATE did give KU 25 tickets. But students can forget about obtaining any of them. They are complimentary tickets for the athletic department and required by the Big Eight to be sent to the visiting school.
So, for the first time, KU students wanting to go to the game are left out in the cold. And it's sad.
The KU athletic department can't be blamed for the lack of tickets. Doug Messner, assistant athletic director and business manager, tried several times to get the Wildcats to allot some tickets to the University. But he had no luck.
CAROL ADOLPH, K-STATE'S ticket manager, responded that the tickets KU allotted K-State last year were so bad she was glad they didn't get any this season.
So KU decided if kKState wasn't going to give any tickets to them, it would return the favor. So there was no kKState but the Wildcats and the Wildcats played here in January.
As it stands now, the students are the

Then there's the pleasure of going to Aggieville after a KU victory. What can be better than striding through the streets wearing a giant POPP button, beaming at the Wildcat fans sneering at you.
Going to the KU-KState game is a part of the whole college experience to many. To some, it's as much of a tradition as Christmas. There are students at University who haven't missed a KU-KState game since they have been here.
BUT, UNLESS THEY are the lucky ones, they are going to miss this one. And it's not going to be easy sitting home on a roof with a balloon; they should be in Ahearn Field House.
There are a lot of disappointed students at KU right now. Many were planning to take the SUA bus trip to the game. Last year, 80 people made that trip. But because there were no trips available, SUA had to cancel the trip this year.
There's no question intercollegiate athletics is becoming a business. But the students shouldn't have to suffer because of it. Only through cooperation on the part of both athletic departments will they be spared.

he doesn't cold and the fact that he hasn't trained, especially hard. All is an answer to that.
Both men posed for pictures in the ring after weighing in but this weigh-in lacked the theatres that accompanied some of them in the 1960s, probably because Coopman, who speaks
only Flemish, doesn't understand a word he says.
Ali's fifth defense of the battle he regained by knocking out George Foreman in Africa Oct. 30, 1974, will be telecast live to the United States by Channel 5 from p.9 to p.11 p.m., EST. The fight is scheduled to start at 9:45 p.m.
Before going to weigh-in at the Coliseum before yesterday afternoon, all awaived off a few pounds.

"The key is his ego," said trainer Angelo DiDonato. "He's afraid about his body. He's vain about his body."
As asked for a prediction on the fight, All asked for the fight could end after the first TV course.
Most observers believe that the 34-year-old champion, who has advantages over Coopman in weight, reach, height and experience, will win inside the limit.

The Big Eight championships is all that's left for the University of Kansas women's basketball team.
KUS' 7-1 DUAL meet record counts for something, but the team that defeated Kansas a week and a half ago - Nebraska will show up at Stillwater in full force.
CLAIRE MCELROY, KU coach since 1972, responded uneasily to the question, "Can Kansas defend the Big Eight swim title it won last year?"

SUNFLOWER SURPLUS
As a result of more intense recruiting, the granting of scholarships and tuition waivers and the growth of the AAU and age-group swimming programs in the Midwest, almost every Big Eight school will enter a stronger team than last year. McFloy will
"I think the team is stronger and deeper than last year," she said, "but so are most of our staff."
McEliroy said Nebraska probably would have the top swimmers in each event. Although it takes speed to win the race, it's depth that wins the meet.

"Ours, we're hoping, will be a deeper team," she said.
KU WON ITS Big Eight title last year at Ames, Iowa, by defeating State by 81 points. But of the 20 events contested, Kansas won only four: the 400 yard freestyle and medley relays, and Cassie Strom won the 50 and 100 yard breaststroke.

"OUR BASIC STRENGTH is depth," McBray reiterated. "We win by thirds and fourths."
MelEloy hedged, "I can name something about each of these (swimmers). Almost all of them are swimmers."
KU has only three seniors on its squirt this year. Gail Wagner, Gail Lehltcher and Kyle Cook, a multi-talented athlete who also competes in track, cross country and basketball.
It's Kansas Senate Resolution No. 18, which reads, in part: "A resolution commending and congratulating the University of Kansas women's swimming team on its winning the Association of Intercollegiate Swimming for Women Big Eight swimming title."
IN MCELROY'S OFFICE is an unnatural reminder of Kansas. Big Eight championship.

Breaststrokers, April Bruce, Karen Mundy, Rebecca Lawson and Strom should be well. Strom is just a sophomore, had a hand in five live in 21 Big Eight last years in five live in 23.
DIVER LAURIE PROSPET, who was the runnerup in both one and three meter diving last year, returns with Miti Rattenne, who also scored in those events.
In addition, KU returns all its scorers from the 1975 team except one, Terri Pollard, who still is eligible, but is concentrating on making it into med school.
Although McElroy is justifiably proud of that distinguished document, framed in wood and hanging prominently on a wall facing her desk, she'd be satisfied with something a little less majestic this year: another first place team trophy.

Dick Reannon, KU swim coach, said, "The Oklahoma State dual should give us a good idea of what to expect from them in the Big Eight meet. O-State is a team with great depth and experience, but a great deal of feedback. They could use this to their advantage in a dual meet situation."
A busy weekend is in store for the University of Kansas men's swimming team with a meet scheduled against Oklahoma State at Stillwater and an invitational at Drury College in Springfield, Mo.
