Win sparks locker room din
NORMAN, Okla. - It was pandemonium, complete with players haging players, wad shouting.
Rv VAEL ABOUHALKAH
The locker room of the University of Kansas football team was blaring with noise here Saturday, as the players—somewhat stunned themselves by their 23- trouncing of Oklahoma—attempted to explain what it was like to play in the biggest collegiate football upset of the year.
Huttack Bill Campfield came into the room wagging both index fingers, proclaiming KU as the winner.
THEN IST TRUE, of course, but the Jayhawks certainly will be ranked in this week's Top 20 polls. The win also makes them a prime bow prospect. Finally, their game against Colorado does this Saturday in KU's Memorial Stadium will probably be televised by ABC-TV.
But back to the locker room—and what a happy locker room it was.
"I don't know what they were doing," aid wide receiver Cedric Lewis, "but I'll tell you we were two."
It was obvious the players were enjoying the exhilaration of having just beaten the No. 2 ranked team in the nation, inflicting the first loss suffered by OU in 38 games.
"When we got that 23rd point up there, there was no question about it," she said a pleased center John Morgan. "God, what a great win. None of the others even come close."
KURT KNOFF, FREE SAFETY who missed the second half because of a hamstring injury, was nevertheless on the sideline, whhooping it up on every play down the stretch. Just like most other KU players, he didn't think the Jayhawks had been until the final few minutes clicked off the clock.
"I didn't concede the game to us until there were four minutes to go," he said, then added with a smile, "From then on, I was watching the clock the whole way."
KU's defense was superb, forcing eight turnovers in the game, three leading to all of the Jahawks' scoring. This was the same patchwork defense that had been mangled by injuries the past two weeks and the same defense that was playing without two starters and with four other players injured.
Yet it held the potent Oklahoma wishbone in check, stretching but never snapping.
"WE KNEEN THE FOURTH quarter was our quarter," said noseguard James Emerson. "We take pride in doing better in the fourth quarter. They just gave up and we stuck it to them."
Defensive tackle Franklin King, still recovering from a pulled groin, agreed.
"I think it was probably because we were on there playing football and they were really frustrated. They lost their poise and we kept ours." The team team. We knew we had to play physical, too."
Freshman noseguard Dennis Balagna said, "I knew when it got into that fourth quarter and we were still sticking them that we had it won. They seemed to kind of fold in the last four minutes."
THROUGHOUT THE GAME, the Sooner fans waited for their team to get untrapped, to explode and score the inevitable winning points. That never happened.
Time and time again, the OU fight song of "Boomer Sooner" reverberated from the Oklahoma band and most of the capacity crowd of 70,286 fans at a concert to beat the Jayhawks. That never happened.
Over in the KU section, several thousand Jayhawk fans sat in their corner of Owen Stadium, led in songs and spirit by the Kansas Marching Band, yell leaders and cheerleaders. They, too, were sitting, perhaps waiting for the Jayhawks to crumble under the pressure, to lose that unbelievable lead and then the game. That, most fortunately of all, never happened.

Possibility exists for mini sessions

Summer course offerings might be changed to allow shorter sessions, according to Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.
"The eight-week session will remain," he said yesterday, but two five-week sessions, two four-week sessions, or three three-week sessions also might be offered, he said.
The summer session committee has met with the dears of various schools at the University, Hutchison said, and the response has been favorable. Because placements will begin next month, a community decision is expected by then, he said.
"WE ARE GOING to look at whether it's in the best interest of the student to offer something in addition to one eight-week session." he said.
Frances Horowitz, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that a more flexible summer program would "allow people to make a more intensive commitment and would allow time for a vacation."
Hutchison said that KU was lagging in university universities in summer flexibility.
"As far as I know, we're the only school that only has a one summer session," he said.
The decision on which courses to offer would depend on the nature of the courses,
summer session, the summer

sessions and both the School of Social
Welfare and the School of Education offer
summer workshops, he said.
ALTHOUGH SOME courses, such as seminars and workshops, are audited at the school, they are not
such as English composition courses, require more class time. Hutchison said.
If an English composition course were offered during a compressed summer session, both teachers and students would have an increased workload, he said.
THE 'FINAL curricular decision always tests with the deans of the individual students.'
Robert Senecal, associate dean of continuing education and summer session committee member, said that continuing education courses were "flexible by definition," because of their locations and class hours.
The department currently offers one-and two-hour credit seminars and various workshops, he said; therefore, any summer course should be an expansion of existing programs.
The department is considering designing more concentrated versions of existing courses for less credit, he said. Those courses would be made a compressed summer session, he said.
“It’s an expansion with a twist on flexibility.” he said.
THE DEPARTMENT will experiment with class times during this winter's intercession, he said. Two sessions of a course on parent-child relationships will be offered, one on weekends and the other at night.
Senecal said that the intersession and proposed changes in summer schedules were a response to the popularity of short, intensive sessions.
If the change in class times works,
the classes might be offered on weekends and at night.

The executive board of KU-Y will decide tonight whether it will invite William Shockley to speak here Thursday, activities will be announced Burchell, KU-Y activities adviser.
Debate topic raised again
She said that KU-Y didn't support Shockley's theory on racial differences in intelligence but that the group wanted to allow him the freedom to speak. Shockley is an advocate of a theory that blacks are genetically inferior to whites in intelligence.
"WE'RE APPROACHING this as an issue of freedom of speech," Burhill said. "We're now in the process of trying to restrain this freedom of speech had been denied."
Burchill said Friday that if the board decided to invite Shockley, invitations to a small seminar with him might be extended to about 50 persons who will be willing to "tackle the issue of social responsibility in the elimination of racism."

Celebrations abound after victory
As a part of KU-Y's advocacy series, KU-Y will sponsor a program on "The Minority Barrier" to help minority students at Burrell said. According to Burchill, this program will be a personal approach to racism and the minority experience, opposing what his scientific approach to the subject suggests.
Burchill said she called Shockley Friday and told him KU-Y was considering inviting him to speak here as part of that program. He also told me what happened at Burchill, Shockley said KU-Y was making

Time and weather hinder commuting students
By DIANE M. WILSON
Commuters to the University of Kansas share many headaches: bad roads, rotten weather, tight time schedules, balky food, fatigue, and lots of pure frustration.
The University housing report shows that between nine and 10 per cent of University students were students in Smith, professor of Administration, Foundations and Higher Education, for the Board of Regents each year, said there was a need to be more committed or whom the commuters were.
They come from all directions, from near and far, alone and in car pools. They usually attend classes between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. They must meet their car pools, so they don't have time to do reserve reading. They must keep warming temperatures, snow and darkness.
COMMUTERS have varied reasons for not living in Lawrence, Tom Shadnack, who wants to lose touch with the real world. He said he lived at the University once and became institutionalized. He said he didn't want that to happen again, so he drives two cars daily.
he said he preferred not to know what it can drive to hire—a reaction fairly typical of those interviewed. He said he listened to him and learned the way, meditated or listened to the radio.
Carolyn and Tomas Irish, Kansas City,
Kan, students, commute together. They don't move to Lawrence, she said, because they own their home in Kansas City and they must part-time work easily in the city.
Harry Waterhouse, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, said he commuted because his work, as well as his home, was in Kansas City. He is director of public relations and head of the department of communications at Calvary Bible College there.
"IT'S NO problem at all," Mrs. Irish said.
"It doesn't take much longer to get to Lawrence than it took her to get to work in Missouri, she said."
He and a co-worker, Ray Tallman, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, share the driving. Waterhouse said he couldn't get away for several years to complete his college education, but he run the college's radio station, he has time to study in Lawrence two dawns a week.
"It really doesn't bother me at all. The drive is pretty and we both enjoy it," she
THE COST is at least $10 a week, Waterhouse said. He said he didn't particularly like commuting but that he used it to get to work and eat. It also sent out announcements onto a tape recorder.
Joan Adam drives once a week for a graduate class from Atchison. She said she hated driving alone, especially when it was too busy.
"It's terrible," she said. "It's a very
windy road; it's awful. But it's pretty in the dainty."
Anne lerardi, Horton graduate student, said she drove the 88 miles to Lawrence to take courses for her government job there. She said she drove a government car so the cost wasn't a factor and that she had a car with her every day. The drive takes 1 to 2 hours, she said.
Kathy Stechert, Topeka graduate student, said she went to school at KU and lived in Topeka because her husband worked there. A friend of her said it took her at least an hour each way.
Her class is at night and she said that the loneliness of the drive bothered her, too.
ONE RESULT OF her commuting experience, Stechert said, is that any job she takes will have to be within 10 minutes of her home.
"Sometimes I really hate it; I feel out of
balance and be unable to be available for all the
buns in a cannum."
She paused, then added, "But other times I stop and realize the pretty drive I have—some people spend an hour on the train or driving through a city."
She said she had heard stories about people who learned a foreign language by reading books, and she said she knew one person who propped a book on the dashboard to read on the way.

She said the bus service didn't work out because the owner she contacted had other bus lines and had to devote his time to them instead of to develop a new route from Kansas City. She said that the service wasn't set up in time to attract the students, but the number of students Arrangements have to be ready by enrollment, she said, so students can plan their schedules around a definite bus schedule.
LUNDY said at least one student planned her schedule around the proposed bus schedule, but the bus never materialized. Mr. Lundy worked out she joined a pop group LUNDY said.
Commuters say they want a bus because it would save wear and tear on their cars and would also save fuel. It said cost her $23 a week to drive her own car three days a week. The bus service would have cost $22.50 a month for service and $16.98 a week, she said, a saving of $55.50 a月 for her.

sports department.
"I immediately after the game people came pouring through the doors," Ken said. "They were a lot of people yesterday." "It was the most emotionally responsive crowd I've ever seen. They were in a partying mood. We had a good crowd and we indulged, the victory helped our crowd."
Mike Fulton, an employee at The Sanctuary, said, "Lots of people came here from Kansas City to party. Everybody wanted to be there and carry on like that we have good business."
Many of the students couldn't believe they had just listened to a Jayhawk victory.
"I THOUGHT before the game started that KU's chances were between alim and none," said Aldry Gilmore, Arkansas City sophomore, and a member of the Jayhawk baseball team. "After they (Okahoma) got the ball, I thought goal I wanted we didn't have a prayer.
"When OU started making all those mistakes, I couldn't believe my ears. I was stunned. By the time the game was over I finally realized what had happened. Then everyone started going nuts. People started crying. Everyone were yelling and screaming."
A few hours later- at 8:20 to be exact - the buses carrying Coach Bud Moore and his Kansas Jayhawks rolled in. Greeting them in front of Jayhawker Towers were
about 1,300 screening, cheering, partying fans, including the part of the KU pp band.
As soon as the team stepped off the bus they were mobbed and had to fight through the crowd. But the players loved every minute of it.
"It's just great having this many people come out to see us," tipped end Lloyd Sobek, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman, said. "I expected a few people, but not this many."
VINCE SEMARY, offensive line coach,
said, "This is just super the way they've
come out here to greet us. It really speaks
well for the school and the student body."
The police said that the students caused very few problems. They acted about the same way students normally act after a winning game, they said.
Saundi Smith, Overland Park sophomore, said she was so excited from the game that she didn't want to leave.
"I think this means something to the football players," she said. "After an unbelievable victory like that, we had to come here and congratulate them."
An hour later there were only toilet paper, banners, and other scattered debris left in the street in front of the Towers. There was still plenty of time to whoo it up, and a victory over Oklahoma called for a whole night of celebrating.
The town quieted down yesterday but students were still excited about the victory. More than 202 people showed up at the KU Quarterback Club in Woodruff a stadium of the Kansas Union last night, hoping to see films of the Big Blue's conquest.
A SPOKESMAN for the club said that the films would start late, but would be shown. The films never arrived and interested University fans were left out in the cold. The person in charge of the films was not available for comment last night.
