Committee relaxes rule barring athletics during finals
In response to a request from the men's athletic department, the calendar committee of the University Senate voted Tuesday to罢掉 two events voting athletic events during final week.
The committee passed a resolution that would allow athletic events or Saturdays of the high school sports season.
Steve Salanski, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore and member of the committee, said that allowing Saturday evening games would not conflict with the intent of the rule.
"I think we can place the athletic department if they can play during that
time, and it doesn't seem to conflict with finals," he said.
Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director, said that the amendment would relieve problems the athletic department had faced in scheduling games during finals.
"IT'S DIFFICULT if we are locked out a 12-day period when we can't play," he
The Senate code prohibits the scheduling of athletic events during finals without the approval of the committee, except for regularly attended conference games and national tournaments.
"If you pull your team out of competition for two weeks, it's harmful to the team," he said.
Waugh said the 27-game basketball schedule included 13 games in November and December.
The athletic department requested last week that the calendar committee re-evaluate the rule, which conflicts with basketball schedules.
Although Ted Owens, basketball coach,
said in an earlier interview that games were
scheduled six years in advance, Waugh said
it was impossible the games were signed only two
years in advance.
WAUGH HAS DRAFTED proposed sched.
ules for the next two years and asked the committee to approve games with the league.
Several committee members questioned whether the Kentucky games were the only ones the athletic department had scheduled for 1979 and 1980.
"Next fall, are we going to have new contracts presented to us again that we'll be asked to approve?" Robert Hohn, professor of mechanical engineering, asked.
Waugh said that the two games with Kentucky were the only scheduled games but that he could not guarantee that others would not be scheduled.

The Kansas Power & Light Co. announced yesterday that Ben's family had been selected to be the first occupants of Sunrise Mountain's solar house at 3017 Rivine Road.
Ben's father, Bill Redlin, is news director of KANU radio and his mother, Nina Redlin, is a first-year pharmacy student. They and their husband, Michael Cavalli, will move into the $100,000 home July 1.
William Perdue, KPLI & vice president,
say yesterday at the opening of Sunpower
House that the Redlinis fit description of
the house, and family that KPI,
needed to test the house.
Six-year-old Ben Redlin says that he doesn't really know what solar energy is. Within a few months, though, he should be an expert.

GOV. ROBERT F. Bennett dedicated
GOV. House commended KP&L for
his leadership.
"Most people think that utilities are more interested in having people consume energy than conserve it. I'm proud to say that the company doesn't follow that trend," Hempstead said.
About 80 people toured Sumpower House after Bennett's brief speech. The house will remain unoccupied until July to allow KP&L to guide interested arrows through it.
Redlin said that he thought curiosity about Sampson Power House would bring visitors to the campus.
"I don't really think we'll mind living in a fishbowl," Redin said.
Redlin said that his family applied to be
Supem House's tenants more than a year and a half ago because of their interest in
barrassing position because we're almost obligate to approve these games; to save them.
"WE'RE JUST SO thrilled to be able to participate," Mrs. Redin said. "Living here will help us design the solar home we eventually hone to build."
Hal Hudson, KP&L director of public affairs, said that the Redins would live in the house for two years while KP&L will be the effectiveness of the solar equipment.
The Reddings will rent the house from KPL for two years with the option to buy it at that time.
"We wanted to investigate how solar energy can be used by a real live family living in a house under normal conditions," Hudson said. "After two years, we'll put the house up for sale and get out of the housing business."
THE ENTRIE floor of the first level of the house is brick. The brick acts as a heat collector, gathering heat from the sun's rays all day and gradually releasing it at the
Tom Dean, professor of architecture and urban design, acted as solar consultant for the firm.
All the windows in Sunpower House have double panes to prevent heat loss. The roof extends beyond the walls to block the light in summer, when the sun is higher in the sky.
The house has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a family room and a living room, as well as a two-car garage. In addition, its kitchen is equipped with a

microwave oven, a trash compactor and a dishwasher.
KP&l will install monitoring equipment to determine how much of the house's heating and hot water needs are being supplied by solar energy.
Tom Bloom, KP&L energy use consultant, said that KP&L expected the solar equipment to produce about 70 percent of Sunpower House's heating needs.
All the monitoring devices will be automatic, Bloom said. The Redlinks will not be responsible for keeping records of the solar system's performance.
"We're supposed to just lead a normal life," Mrs. Redin said.
The committee approved the two Kentucky games and defeated a measure that would have disapproved all other games presented for consideration after the spring semester.
"What you see is what we have so far," Waugh said.
