Women's squad defeats Nebraska
By RODNEY ANDERSON
Sports Writer
For Marian Washington, KU women's basketball coach, the 85-71 victory over the University of Nebraska Friday in Lincoln was the result time in coming. But it was worth the wait.
Since taking over the reins of the KU women's basketball program four years ago, Washington had never defeated the Cormuskers in several tries.
"I felt great," Washington said. "We're nurses who have what has been making it so hard for our own team."
THE VICTORY was the team's seventh of the season and the fifth on the road. Washington said that the team's winning streak was responsible for the road conquests.
"As long as we continue to have this attitude we'll continue to have more wins on the field."

paced the young Jayhawks in scoring with
their backs.
Senior center Adrian Mitchell canned 19, freshman forward Susan Chlystk tailled 14 for her best offensive performance of the season, junior V.C. SANDS scored 10 and junior guard KELly Phipps netted eight to round out the scoring for Kansas.

Gym squad places 10th at Open meet
Battling hazardous driving conditions caused by freezing rain and snow, as well as a series of minor injuries, the University of Kansas gymnastics team placed 10th in the Rocky Mountain Open gymnastics meet at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
KU coach Bob Lockwood said the team made a favorable showing at the meet, in which they won.
The Jayhawks scored 173.75 points in the compulsory round of competition and 187.85 in the opening round.
"Whenever you can go into a championship meet like that and feel like you're stepping forward, that's commendable," he said.
Freshman all-around gymnast Brad Foerr turned in one of his best compulsory scores of the season, Lockwood said. Foerr scored 43.10 points.
"I THINK he's showing good improvement," he said. "He's a hard worker. At the beginning of the year he was probably our No.4 all-rounder. Right now I have to
Junior college transfer Waldo Casaren received KU's best score in the optional round of competition, 45.96 points, although he competed with a dislabeled finger.
Senior captain Mike Hynes was hampered by a sprained ankle he received two weeks ago while practicing a floor exercise routine.
Lockwood said that more than 30 serious injuries forced some squads to withdraw
"IN THREE events (rings, parallel bars and horizontal bar) we can compete with anyone," Lockwood said. "In this meet, our rings team was the fifth best. Right now I'd have to say that the rings are our most improved event."

She added that she was pleased with the ayahwaks' performance but that she had seen them at a concert.
"Offensively, we moved the ball around
well but we looked ragged at times." Washington said. "We took good percentage shots, and we took a lot of them; a look at the shot chart would indicate that."
Offensively, it was the same game plan Kansas had subscribed to since the beating of Chicago.
"WE HAVE TO stick to our game plan and do what we do best," Washington said. "Nebraska did start out in a player-to-player defense. But they got out of it and into a 2-3 zone defense after a few minutes of the game."

Sadat's Desperation Diplomacy
The media coverage of recent events in the Middle East has portrayed Sadat's trip to Israel as a courageous initiative for peace. In reality, it was a desperate move by a desperate man.
Much of his personal desperation grew from internal affairs in Egypt. The country is plagued with widespread political corruption and severe economic problems including explosive population growth, rapid inflation, high unemployment and a chronic deficit in the balance of payments. Foreign affairs created even more formidable problems. Egypt has fallen to military inferiority, with a military capability currently one year behind its capability during the October War in 1973 and five years behind Israel's current capability. Sadat had fostered poor relations with other Arab countries, because he had caused them to mistrust both his motives and his actions. He had failed to influence the United States to convince Israel to withdraw from occupied land and he was frustrated with the U.S.'s continued alliance with Israel.
Sadat's visit cannot realistically hope to bring about peace. It was a foolish plan, developed without consultation and without assessment of its potential for leading to peace. It cannot help because Israel is not willing to negotiate on the real issues of reestablishment of a Palestinian state including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, return of occupied Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and recognition of the PLO, the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. Israelis do not even recognize the existence of the Palestinian people. Former Prime Minister
Golda Meir said on June 15, 1969, in the London Times, "There was no such thing as Palestinians . . . they did not exist." Prime Minister Begin last week would refer only to "West Bank Arabs," not to Palestinians. To think that a visit could promote peace when there exists such total denial of not just a people's right to a homeland but denial of their very existence, is folly.
His visit could conceivably even make peace more unreachable. Arab efforts are now divided in their attempt to bring about a comprehensive peace settlement. There is a marked decrease in momentum toward Geneva as a potential framework for peace, with other conferences cropping up at various capitals. The concession by Sadat to visit Israel made Israelis more strong in their refusal to admit to the need to return land.
Then what will bring peace? Most important would be a change in the mentality of the Israelis to include a recognition of past injustices done to the Palestinian people in the occupation of their land, and a repudiation of the Zionist philosophy. The United States needs to end its 2 billion dollar a year military aid to Israel, and needs to act biasedly as a mediator, showing equal concern for both parties, not its historic favoritism of Israel. It needs to recognize the PLO as the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and to direct efforts toward the establishment of a Palestinian state. It is these things, not a reckless individual's desperation diplomacy, which will bring about lasting peace in the Middle East.
