Circle unbroken
assumantbff planning to bid for the jump circle from Allen Field House's original court may be in for a surprise. Chancellor Arch R. Dykes has said the circle won't be opened until next month.
whether the "Big K" jump circle from the original Allen Field House floor puts a lump in your throat or brings back an injury because he is protecting her longer appears to be an issue.
Field house circle not for sale
Cancellor R. Dykes told SenXe
Wednesday that the Big K wouldn't be sold.
Clyde Walker, athletic director, said yesterday there were second thoughts after the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Board decided to sell the circle to the highest bidder. The athletic corporation said it had considered after the basketball season is over, but Walker said the board has now said it had the right to refuse the highest bid.
The decision to sell the circle was made to help raise funds for additional renovations to Allen Field House and a Kansas State University building, which Walker said was still being planned.
Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director and former Kansas basketball player, said, "The floor sat for almost a year and a half and nobody worried about its retirement. I don't understand all the sentiment expressed over a wooden floor."
Student officials began a campaign a week ago to keep the circle at KU as part of a new Kansas Union floor or a floor in the satellite union, if it's built.
Students had brought ideas into the Student Senate office on how to keep the circle, Woner said. The ideas included soliciting one dollar donations from students, looking for a donor who would bid highest and lowest, and appeals to the Kansas Legislature to reclaim the circle or request that it stay at KU.
Ed Rollfs, student body president, said,
"We've had more calls on that than on anything else in several months. Most people just wanted to help."
Rolfs had said that the circle should be kept because this was the bicentennial year and KU's basketball history had made the circle an "heirloom."
Bruce Woner, StudEx chairman, said Dkw'd announcement meant those who
opposed the sold wouldn't "have to resort to other means to acquire and retain the

Letters to the chancellor from student body officials helped to keep the Big K here;
Waugh said, "I don't remember Kansas basketball by the floor. The history of Kansas basketball isn't written in a floor; it's written in people.
Old Robinson Gymnasium (no longer nanking) and Hoch Axel Ausbreitl were rebuilt.
"There's perhaps more or as much tradition in Hoch as there is in Allen Field House. We don't have part of Hoch that we do we have part of Robinson anywhere."
Mit Allen, son of former basketball coach F.C. "Pooh" Lawrence and Lawrence attorney, said, "The Big K means Kansas University to me, nothing else."
"This is a commercial world we're living in. I want one bit upset about seeing the camera. I'm not."
Mitll Allen played on the 1936 team that holds the longest consecutive win streak in KU history. He remembered games played during a startup at noon for a p.a. game.
"The field house was a big moment," he said. "Dad had been campaigning for it for years."
Bill Lienhack, member of the 1952 Olympic basketball team and vice president of the First National Bank, said he thought he was going to play basketball highlighted in some room at the University.
Lienhard said he, too, had played in Hoch,
but remembered watching the opening
song. "I was just a little nervous."
Soap operas bubble in Union

Jill has sold her baby for a million dollars.
She refused to turn the baby over to Ms. Chipman.
This very personal family crisis has drawn a crowd of more than 20 watchers in the TV room of the Kansas Union lobby every weekday morning this semester.
Perhaps any one of those viewers can fill you in on the details of Jill's baby. Or you can go yourself to watch that scene with the Blesses! at 11:00 and "All My Children" at 11:30.
Sheryl Goldansky, Overland Park sophomore, she said only to watch her favorite soap opera, "All My Children," on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
David Petesch, McLouth junior, said he was "on the ropes" of a game and the Redskins' "almost every day."
Five students interviewed yesterday said they watched for different reasons.
"1 kind of get involved with the plot," he said of the girl who watches it day after day. "I draw a few."
Soap opera plots usually are very simple, she said.
"Everybody's screwing everybody else's husband," Goldsanky said.
She likes the program for its content, she said.
"I like the characters. Most of the time it
really cool," she said.
At about half-past the hour, a lot of people
From 29 to 26 students watch the three shows. One woman slept through "Happy Birthday."
leave and other people come in, Petesch said, because of class schedules.
Cecilia Robinson, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said she watched "The Young and the Restless" every day because it was one of her favorites.
Soap operas depict situations close to real life. she said.
kevin Laux, Lawrence freshman, said he alternately studied for school and watched
"Happy Days." He studies through soap operas, he said.
"I really don't pay much attention to them at all." he said.
Three other people said they usually studied in the TV room when they were young.
Vilian Ungles, Satanita, Kan, *spam*, to watch "Happy Days" and to watch "The Young and
the Restless," she said she watched soap operas for different reasons.
"They're kind of silly," she said. "I used to watch because they're so ridiculous."
Ungles said she didn't think that real life was much like the daily crimes portrayed on TV.
"I never sat down to analyze it," she said. "I think it's extremely exaggerated."
Theatre treats pupils to musical
There is a 1 p.m. performance today of "Sacramento 50 Miles" in the University Theatre for first through third graders from Lawrence schools. A public performance will be presented tomorrow at 2 p.m. Admission is 75 cents.
The Kansas University Theatre for Young People will continue its presentation of "Sacramento 50 Miles" today and "Sacramento 3,000 area elementary school children.
"Sacramento 50 Miles" is a musical comedy written by Eleanor and Ray Harder. The production is part of a 23年 University tradition of producing plays to help grade school children understand the theater.
Jed Davis, director of the University Theatre and of both children's productions this year, said Wednesday that the plays were to be made in education eastern in Lawrence schools.
The production is an adaptation of a Grimm's fairy tale, "The Bremen Town Musicians." In the story, four animals run away from their owners and dream of
accrediting the town musicians in
bacremono, Calif.
The group never reaches Sacramento, but along the way it learns the importance of dreams and the beauty that comes from striving for them.
On another level, the production discussions on the commercial problem of old age and the transition to retirement are

The six member cast portrays four animals and two persons. Doug Walker, assistant Douglas County attorney, plays Rocky, a gold prospector. Michael Swan, Baldwin junior, plays Lodestone, his partner.
Lynch said this was her first time time performing for a children's audience. Such things as emotions, voices and gestures were introduced so she said, to appeal to a younger audience.
as Molly the burrow; and Jeannie Lynch,
Alexandria, the vase, as Joynah the dog.
Davis said that before the production of a play, a teacher's guide was mailed to elementary schools in the Lawrence and Douglas County to describe the production.
Sets for the production were designed by John Wagner, Mission Hills senior. Barbara Mounsey, Granville, Ohio, junior, designed the costumes.
Lynch said the production would be on tour through April 24. The show will visit Topeka, Kansas City, Kan., its suburbs and in Kansas. It will also go to Perio, III.

The freshmen beat the varsity that year, Lienhard said and it hasn't been done since. The field house was filled and Chamberlain did the work, he said.
"That set the tempo for the field house," he said.

Walker said all Allen Field House
property belonged to the state. The wooden door was auctioned by the state and sold to a buyer.
The auction was publicized, he said, but evidently only the KUAC showed up.
The field house floor itself was cut into sections four feet square, and four feet by four feet.
Last year the new synthetic surface was installed. Waugh said the old floor was inadequate, had dead spaces and was worn from 20 years of play.
