From page one
to say a mistake was not made.
This is the first time since I been here—
四年的 time--that we have had this kind of
problem, which has shown she has paid."
--bill and the other small debts she had accumulated with a check. It wasn't until yesterday that she was allowed to enroll.
UNTIL THE FIRST week of December, neither Bahan nor Washington was aware that Holden had paid in cash.
Bahan said that Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records, called Washington Dec. 1, 4. Saturday, and said Holden wasn't enrolled.
"Dyck called Marian and said he had checked with McCoy and Shyra wasn't enrolled. "Hahan said. "I said I would bring check on Madeline and I would check on Mandela and straighten out."
"On Monday Shtya came in and said she didn't have the receipt or the add slips."
Holden said, "I put the receipt and the add slips in my timetable and I lost it. We had company that weekend and we cleaned up and it must have been thrown away."
IT WAS THEN that Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, said he would step in and mediate, Bahan said.
"Shankel was willing to step in if she had been going to class in good faith up to that point," Bahan said.
But Shankel balked when one of Holden's four teachers refused to sign the sheet that said Holden had been going to class.
THEN HOLDEN admitted that she had not been going to class.
"I went to classes at first, but then I got down and I go to class one day but not the next. Then when I stopped going all together, Coach and didn't know that I wasn't going to class."
So Holden was in limbo.
And there she remained when she went to enroll Jan. 15 for the spring semester. She was told that there was a hold on her pass from the office of residential programs.
"There was a hold from our for nonpayment of housing fees," said Mark Kramer, an alumnus of the first. I think we were to be paid by women's athletics, but they weren't paid
On Feb. 5, Holden paid the residence hall
McCoy still says that the comptroller's office has no record of payment last semester.
HOLDEN SAYS she was a victim of the system.
"The cash thing I've almost given up on," Holden said. "That's life, something I've got to live with."
"I if we are to push it, I would have to go to court and spend money that I don't have. Do you think they're going to say they made a mistake in person and there's no way I'm going to win."
"I made a lot of mistakes too--like not attending class regularly--but still that doesn't make up for the fact that I lost a lot of money.
"But I can't let what they did to me affect my character. In the future, I'm going to take all the precautions I can to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Athletics business managed by stand-in
BY STEVE YOUNG Staff Reporter
With help from the office of business affairs, the KU athletic department's business office is running smoothly without a perimeter. The KU Marcin, athletic director, said this week.
Murcia said that Susan Wachter, an internal audit supervisor "on loan" from the business affairs office, was serving as in-vestment manager for a permanent athletic business manager was hired.
Wachtter, who assumed her new duties last week, replaces Joe Biedron, who resigned Feb. 8 after 10 hours on the job.
Marcum said the business office, which is preparing next year's budget, was running smoothly.
"I think we're in real fine shape," Marcum said. "Susan is doing a real fine job and we're appreciative to the University for loaning her to us."
Wachter said she hoped to have next year's budget completed before the April 7 meeting of the University of Kansas Athletic Department, where the budget will be decided at that meeting.
"Much of the budget work was done by Mr. Biedron before he left," she said. "We need to have it done for the April board meeting. I'd like to have it done well in advance."
Biedron said he resigned because he wanted to return to his former home in california. Before he came to KU, he served as state manager at Presno State University.
Bledsoe's resignation left the athletic department without a permanent athletic budget, and he had to spend four months. Bledsoe replaced Deng Messer, who resigned in 2014 to accept a new job with the university.
Marcum said Biedron would not be replaced until after the budget was prepared.
Wachter said that she had not been too long how she would be serving as interim business manager and that she did not know what he was going for in the position when interviews were held.
As internal audit supervisor, Wachter said she "handled special projects" for Keith Nitcher, director of the business affairs office.
Staff Reporter
If there is such a thing as an over-
success in the music business, Critz Fritz of New West Productions, Kansas City, Mo.'s largest concert promoter, is one.
Bv JON BLONGEWICZ
He has built a multimillion dollar company in about seven years.
But Fritz, who also manages the rock band Missouri, 'told about 50 people at Haworth Hall last night that there was no music and an overnight success in the music business.
His speech was sponsored by the newly formed KU chapter of the American Marketing Association.
"A band like Boston—everybody who is an overnight success when they've been at it for a long time." Frits said. "Bob was one of the first people before he became an overnight success."
FRITZ SAID a good manager could make a new band by getting its first record deal.
"I would predict that there are 40,000 to 50,000 bands in the United States trying to get a record deal," he said.
"No one is supposed to get money at a radio station to get a record played." Fritz said. "But there are ways around that—gunaches, tickets, preferential treatment."
After getting a manager and a record label, bands work through a talent agency and contact a promoter who will obtain radio station air time for their music.
Fritz said that although a record label was the key for a band and its promoter, more politicizing was involved in obtaining radio station air time.
Recording rough, promoter says
"Our business is based on how man-favors you do for someone. It is a grind. The pressure is big."
"It is a rough business. I don't mean to paint a negative picture. There is some money in the business, but you have to be good.
"A few bad concerts and it is over."
RITZ HAS had his problems
"When Kemper Arena fell down I lost $10,000 in lost dates and advertising expenditures," Fitz said.
He said if it had rained on his summer 1978

But according to Fritz, the record industry is not doing much better. Fritz said five record labels are making money while the small independent labels were dying. They have much respect for some labels' success in trouble is because their market stinks.
