Women's Athletic Director Marian Washington
No'75 Scholarships For Women Athletes
By CLARK CASE Kansan Staff Reporter
No athletic scholarships will be offered to women this year, but some may be offered by the end of next year, according to Marian Washington, assistant director of intercollegiate athletics.
Salaries, supplies, equipment and travel expenses will claim the entire $120,000 budget for this year's women's athletic program. Even with the increased budget, the salary requirements for coaches or for coaches will be very limited, Washington said.
The goals of the women's program for this year will be to provide each team with the funds it needs to function and meet performance standards of the coaching staff, Washington said.
"Scholarships will have to wait this year while we develop avenues of obtaining money for scholarships," she said.
Much of the money for men's athletic scholarships comes from sources outside the University.
THE ASSOCIATION of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) recently changed its rules that banned scholarships for women's athletics, but it still has restrictions against recruiting.
Because of the AIAW rules, the women's athletic schools that offered scholarships had to compete in Amateur Athletic Union meets. Now these schools can compete in intercollegiate meets if they wish.
"Coaches cannot recruit, and I am still trying to determine whether athletic directors can," Washington said.
The schools that have produced the best women's teams in the past have been those that have recognized the value of women's competition and Washington said. Most of the better schools for women's sports have been small.
TO BUILD and maintain a program that would consistently produce nationally prominent women's teams, schools, and colleges to be increased, Washington said.
"I don't want to jump ahead too fast, though, she said. "We are appreciative of what we have."
Although no scholarships will be given this year, Washington said, anyone interested should try out for the teams.
"We want women to know that it is a closed circuit," she said, "and no team is determined ahead of time."
Try-out dates will be posted during enrollment, and publicity for the women's program will be handled by the designer, maker, promotional director for athletics.
Some of the women's teams will have to improve greatly before they can compete well nationally and internationally, Washington said.
“WE HAVE HAD a good program in the past,” she said, “but now I want to find out what we do have and what we need.”
Seven of the University's nine women's teams have been outstanding on state, national and international levels. One of the two teams that was ranked this year was the women's swimming team, which was in its first season, she said.
THE TENNIS TEAM finished 28th out of the 53 teams at the recent AIAW tennis meet. Washington said this was not really not a poor showing. Most of the women on the team were freshmen they did better than had been expected.
THE VOLLEY BALL TEAM has been to national four times and has been outstanding consistently, Washington said. The softball team was named the national teams this year and the golf and track teams each sent two girls to national.
THERE WAS no national championship meet for women's hockey. However, the hockey team won the state meet. The basketball team lost its game for the state championship by one point.
The gymnastics team had a poor season, and Washington said that the team would probably have a coaching change.
The women's program has the potential to have more nationally outstanding teams, but it will take time to prepare for support of the University, Washington said.
"It would be very encouraging to have faculty and students get interested," she said.

Chief Justice Warren Dead Court Led Social Change During His Term
WASHINGTON (AP) — Earl Warren, who served for 16 years as chief justice of a United States Supreme Court that was in the vanguard of social change, died last night. He was 83.
Warren, who retired from the five years ago, died at Georgetown University Hospital. He had been hospitalized since July 2, suffering from congestive heart failure and coronary insufficiency.
During Warren's service as chief justice, the Supreme Court issued a stream of momentous decisions that wrought major changes in American society and politics. Among them was that banned racial segregation in public schools.
A HOSPITAL OFFICIAL, said Warren died of cardiac arrest. His wife and one of his daughters were with him at the time. President Nixon, often critical in the past of Warren's decisions, said, "His service to America will continue to shape the course of America's life for替到来 come and will reflect the highest purpose of America."

"Few men have been called upon to do so much in the
Warren E. Burger, his successor as chief justice, said Warren's half-century of public service "spanned one of the most dynamic eras in our history, and his contribution was large indeed."
**WARREN RETIRED** in June 1968 after 52 years in public life as a prosecutor attorney, three-time governor of California, two aspirant for the Republican presidential nomination, once noniname for vice president and finally chief justice.
After his retirement, he and his wife, Nina, continued to feel quite in the hotel apartment that had been their home for many years. He loved her.
During his years of retirement, Warren noted with some satisfaction that there was a lessening of the bitterness toward him that once led to a proliferation of signs exhorting, "Impeach Earl Warren."
For it was he who bore the brunt of criticism over disputed decisions by what was called "the Warren court," and he was an eloquent defender of them.

"Legislators represent people, not trees or acres." Warren wrote for the court in a decision which forced all 50 states to reapportion their legislative districts and in many other jurisdictions to make them more equal in population.
The court under Warren ruled also that all men accused of crime are entitled to the protection of the Bill of Rights. No longer, it said, could a poor or illiterate man be shuffled often alone through a legal system he did not understand.
Warren on occasion did lament that school desegregation not proceed as rapidly as he had hoped following the decision he wrote in May 1864. Even admirers said this was a "bad day" for him, and the formula of "all deliberate speed" for desegregation
Judiciary Releases Tape Version

WASHINGTON (AP)—As the Senate Watergate hearings were gearing up last year, new tape transcripts show an adamant President Nixon said that his aides all should "stonewall it, let them burn him," and defend him, cover-up or anything else . . ."
The Nixon order was disclosed yesterday as the House Judiciary Committee issued its version of eight of the presidential budget made public in April by the White House.
The House transcripts restored the phrase "exeptive deleted" and many of the inaudible portions of the conversations left blank in the presidential version—and included a lengthy discussion that had not been included at all.
One celebrated passage from the March
21, 1973, presidential conversation was Nixon's discussion of possible hush-money payments to Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt.
In the White House tapes, Nixon's apparent order was to "expletive deleted getter" The committee version shows the Press Conference "Well, for Christ's sake, get it . . ."
White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler accused the committee of a "hyped public relations campaign," saying the congressmen had "chose a public relations route . . . focusing attention only on one section of the tapes."
In the newly included conversation, recorded on March 22, 1973, Nixon discussed his views of "the New Deal."

They talked about a "scenario" in which Nixon would offer the committee a report by Dean on Watergate and would urge Sean Kohn to produce his investigation in closed session.

Supreme Court Asked To Disqualify Sirica
"One wonders whether a judge who has been criticized and evaluated as Judge O'Connor, is the one with the cold neutrality which justice requires," two defendants in the trial told
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Supreme Court was asked yesterday to order the disqualification of U.S. District Court Judge John J. Sirica from presiding over the Watergate cover-up trial scheduled to begin Sept. 9.

Produce Markets Lure Residents
Thomas and Heather Rinec of Lawrence,
the ship at Garrett's Market, RFQ 3, said
a call to the office.
If you're hungry for fresh food, you won't have far to go in Lawrence. There are several fresh produce markets in and around the city, quality food, local customers said recently.
"It's not always cheaper than the supermarket," Heather Rice said, "but on the whole it tends to be. And it's always fresh."
"I like to try different vegetables that you can't always get in stores," she said. "I use peaches and plums." The sweet smell of peaches dominates the air in the wooden floor building, and electric fans blow furiously. Bushel baskets of egg plant, okra, turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes and cabbage fill the walls.
Mrs. Emily Server of Lawrence said she countrys country air atmosphere at Garrett's.

There was no indication when the court would rule on it.
Garrett said that the vegetables and fruits were bought locally whenever possible and were shipped direct in winter from warmer areas.
"Our prices are reasonable." Bill
The two defendants asked that, if they fail to win Siria's disqualification, the court order a hearing on the question by the District Court or the District District Court for the District of Columbia.
Garrett, owner and manager, said, "but we try to concentrate on quality."
The first issue the high court must decide,
however, is whether to consider the case
"We've got plenty of tomatoes, hot sauce and cinnamon, cantaloupe and watermelon," he said.

however, is whether to consider the case. Sirica preside last year over the trial of Alberto Gomez, who was convicted of burglarizing Democratic national headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington. He also supervised the grand jury that investigated the killing of James Jackson and four others face charges of trying to conceal White House involvement in it.
Mitchell and Parkinson also contended that critical references to the judge in the released transcripts of White House conversations could become part of the evidence in the trial. In particular they cited unfairly referenced to Sirica by a lawyer John W. Dean III, who is expected to be a key government witness in the trial.
In another development, Sirica denied requests to dismiss charges against the six Watergate defendants or move the trial to a new location.
Naval Sophomores Dismissed for Cheating
Naval Sophomores Dismissed for Cheating
Seven sophomores at the U.S. Naval Academy have been ousted as a result of the school's biggest cheating incident in nearly 60 years. Vice Adm. William P. Mack, the school's superintendent said yesterday. Thirteen other students and an instructor were disciplined for their parts in the scandal. The seven sophomores resigned from the Academy after being threatened with dismissal. The 13 other students were placed on probation and the instructor was transferred to nonteaching duties.
Portugal Premier and Three Officials Resign
Premier Adelino da Palma Carlos, his deputy and the interior and economic ministers have offered their resignations from Portugal's 10-week-old government. A government announcement said Palma Carlos resigned because President Antonio de Spinola and the State Council refused to give him all the resignations he needed, and whether the resignations would be accepted. The split in the coalition government was the first since the April 25 overthrow that brought Spinola into the presidency.
Cambodian President Proposes Peace Terms
President Nol of Cambodia extended an unconditional handshake to the Khmer Rouge insurgents, suggesting peace negotiations without prior conditions. Few in Phnom Penh, however, believed the insurgents would accept the terms at this time. Lon Nol said he hoped the proposed peace negotiations would lead to the removal of all foreign troops, national unity and reconciliation. Previous offers had supported the foro withdrawal and caisece fire before negotiations could begin.
U.S., Spain Pledge to Strengthen Military Ties
The United States and Spain resolved in a declaration of friendship to strengthen their military ties and coordinate them with the Atlantic alliance. The declaration was initialed by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Council Member Colin Powell, who declared the completion of Kissinger's six-day tour of Western Europe as a summit meeting between President Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.
Commissioners Give Priority to Upkeep of Old Areas

Kansas Staff Departer

Kansan Staff Reporter
The summer agendas of the Lawrence City Commission and the Douglas County Commission have been crowded with futuristic plans. New community buildings, bridges, subdivisions and sewage plants have been just a few of their concerns.
But ask any city or county official what his greatest concern is and, more than likely, the answer will be maintenance of the old, not development of the new.
Mayor Jack Rose said recently that his major concern was that the city proceed at an accelerated pace with the housing inspection program east of the University of Kansas campus,
With the development of Clinton Reservoir and new areas to the west of the city, commissioners said they thought new housing developments would take care of themselves. However the growth and redevelopment of the older sections of Lawrence is something that will have to be cultivated, they said.
"We want to make sure none of the students are living in unsafe housing," he said.
"The housing code should be enforced so that blighting influences are reduced without adding unnecessary expenses which would be passed on to the student renter," Clark said. "The area east of campus is a major problem. To make the area a place where students will want to live requires a mixture of commercial enterprises and good housing."
The alternative to not tackling the housing situation in areas such as East Lawrence now would be to allow these areas to disintegrate," said Commissioner Nancy Hambleton. "We need to better ways to work with neighborhood groups and associations."
Commissioner Barkley Clark said "slumlordism" should be stopped.
Talks concerning rezoning an area around the campus for commercial use have been going on between city and university officials for a year. However, Dick McClanathan, city planning commission consultants who were studying the area wouldn't have planned the planning commission until sometime next summer.
If rezoning is done, old homes would be converted
for commercial uses rather than replaced by new buildings, Clark said.
City projects in areas other than housing will also affect students.
Returning students will recognize the downtown area's new boutiques, restaurants and fresh landscaping as a revitalization of the old that has been built. The work is a result of an urban renewal project.
Highway 59, south of 23rd and Iowa streets, should relieve many traffic problems for students living in that area, Clark said. The highway should be completed early this fall.
Work on Clinton Lake continues. Clark said that although the work had not yet been completed, the team has completed about 75% of the task.
Wells Park, recently completed, is south of town on Highway 88 and provides great areas for pionics,
“There is a real need to increase the recreational opportunities around Lawrence,” Clark said. “Meetings are planned with the corps of engineers to update plans for a park along the Kansas River.
There is even the possibility of an ice skating rink for the city."
"The University provides excitement in the community," she said. "It provides a market for entrepreneurship."
Commissioners recognize the University as a strong force in the city and it is a major consideration in many of their decisions, Hambleton said.
Students living in apartments will probably see an average increase of $1.40 a month on what they spend there.
But university students must also help bear the responsibility for city projects. The new secondary sewage treatment plant is one of these responsibilities.
One area of disagreement among commissioners is the effect of the University on the number of city emps.
The plant, which is required by the federal government under the 1970 Clean Water Act, will cost an estimated $9 million. About 75 per cent of the total cost will come from increased user charges. The remainder will come from increased user charges.
"In the late 1960s Lawrence almost doubled its police force when the University was having problems," Hambleton said. "Salaries for police and firemen account for more than 50 per cent of the city's operational costs. I hope we can cut down in this area."
Rose said he was very much against any reduction of the police force.
"I think it would be a terrible mistake," he said. "We ought to think in terms of upgrading the qualifications of the force. Just because we haven't got the knowledge that maturity doesn't mean we need to reduce the force."
A city study shows that between 1966 and 1970 the size of the Lawrence police force increased by 19.4 percent.
Buffon Watson, city manager, said students could have a tremendous effect on the city.
"I would love to see students involved in city government he said, but, realistically, I believe that most students are satisfied simply to get their education and leave. Unless they intend to settle here, they aren't really concerned with the operation of the city government."
