Shocker fans reason to ignore WSU
By TRACEE HAMILTON
Associate Sports Editor
The Kansas basketball season has ended.
Head Coach Ted Owens' future is certain this season—he has been offered a new three-year contract. Senior guard Darnell Valentine has finished playing in the Pizza Hut Shaamis pre-game match at the BAADraft. Reasoning is in full flow. Everything seems calm on a sea that has traditionally been stormy.
One question, however, remains unanswered—the fate of another Kansas-Wichita State matchup.
THE MERE MENTION of the season-ending KU-Wichita State game in New Orleans brings a shudder to many a Jayhawk across the state. The two teams met after 26 years of basketball drought—a drought that was welcomed by most KU fans.
Wichita State defeated the Jayhawks, 66-65, but the outcome
was not as upsetting to the red-and-blue troupe as the idea that the NCAA tournament had forced a pairing that Shocker fast-talk and proposed legislation had been unable to bring about.
Wichita State has long clamored for a chance to play the Jayhawks.
Opinion
The Shocker basketball program has been built in recent years to one of extreme notoriety.
The Wichita high schools are a gold mine for a college coach writing up his recruiting list. KU has snatched several Wichita products in recent years, including Valentine and Ricky Ross, but WSUW now forward Antine Carr and this year, 7-footer Gore Dreinell
EVEN THE KANSAS Legislature has felt the need to get involved in the cross-state dispute. Legislation
has been introduced in the last couple of sessions to force the two schools to meet, both in football and basketball. The bills have been thrown out, and KU has coolly declined the extended Shocker hand.
It's also easy, now, for Shocker as being part of KU's snob hill tradition, which in part it is. Kansas has a basketball tradition as long as the trip to Wichita and plays topnotch nationally ranked teams year after year. Why add Wichita State to the schedule?
It's also easy, now, for Shocker fans to scream "Chickenhawks!" Since Wichita state beat KU, they reason, the Jayhawks are obviously frightened of losing face and feathers to the Shockers.
Actually, it's all high school squabbling. And before the trip to New Orleans, it was easy to laugh at college girls who were good old college fun. Not anymore.
AFTER SEEING the Shocker crowd's behavior at the game, it would be in KU's interest to rebuff
attempts to make the game a regular. KU is already intensely hated by two schools, Kansas State and Oklahoma, and the bickering at times can be ugly.
But not as ugly as the Shocker fans. Never has a group been more vocally, embarrassingly rude to the Jayhawks. Cheers that Wildcat fans mutter under their breaths or write on posters, such as Rock Chalk Chickenawk, and you know the rest, were screamed by the Shockers crowd on national television. That was incidentally, predominantly alumni, globally abused everyone wearing every hint of red and blue. It was truly embarrassing to be from the same state as the Wichita State fans.
KU Athletic Director Bob Marcum says that, as of now, there are no plans to add Wichita State to the schedule. It is hoped that the pressure of the victor over the vanquished will not take hold, and that KU will not subject itself to that kind of performance again.
Kings to test playoff luck against Suns
The funny thing is, the Kansas City Kings weren't supposed to get this far.
By PAULD. BOWKER Sports Writer
The Kings, who were the last team to qualify for the National Basketball Association playoffs this year, suddenly lost a star. The Western Conference semifinal-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The Kings outlasted the Portland Trail Blazers in a best-of-three series to win. The Kings then took the club moved from Cincinnati in 1972.
The first game of the series is at 10:30
tonight at Phoenix. After tomorrow night's second game in Phoenix, the teams return to Kansas City for the third and fourth games this weekend.
THE KINGS advanced to the semifinals after the beating Tail Blazers 104-5 in Portland Sunday. The Trail Blazers, who beat the Kings Friday night in Kemper Arena to force the third game, took a 15-point lead in the second quarter but lost their momentum in the second half.
The Kings and Suns are not strangers in playoff games. In fact, the Suns are a team the Kings might rather not face. The Suns eliminated the Kings in the ministeries last year and in the Western Conference semifinals the year before.
The Kings' success in beating Portland was a result of slowing down the team. It wasn't a losing game, the same thing they must do to win the Sun, the Pacific Division champion.
"We have to control the tempo," Kansas City Coach Cotton Fitzsimmons said. "We have to keep Phoenix out of their running game, execute our plays and apply defensive pressure for the full 48 minutes."
The Kings, however, recaptured some of their pride this year after beating the Suns three of five times during the regular season, including a 105-68 rout of the Suns in Kansas City March 8. The Suns' point tied the
lowest number of points scored by an NBA team this year and was the lowest ever in the Suns' history.
"I think the effect will be positive in that we realize they are a very competitive, rugged team and we have great respect for them," Phoenix Coach John MacLeod said. "I think it will have a positive slant to it."
The third game of the series will be played at 7:05 Friday night at Kemper Arena, with the fourth game scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Kemper Arena.
Phil Ford, the Kings' second-year guard, might play in spatts against the Suns, but isn't expected to see much action because of an eye injury.
Women's track team 2nd in chilly outdoor meet
The cold, windy weather Saturday didn't make the switch from indoor track to the outdoor version any easier for the Kansas' women's track team, but the result of the team's meet made the weather a little easier to take.
The Jayhawks placed second at the Nebraska Invitational with the Cornhuskers winning.
OVERALL IT was a chilly day," Coach Carla Coffey said. "I was really pleased with the meet. Our relays are getting better, but we still have some stick passing to work on. I'm also pleased with the field people."
The Jayhawks scored 125 points to finish behind Nebraska, which had 139.5 points. Minnesota placed third with 5. Kansas State had 52 and Missouri 22.
Jayhawk们 placed first included Debbie Hertzog in the 1,500, 4:44; Connie McKernan in the 100 hurdles, 14.2; Becky McGranahan in the disc, 159-9 $^{\frac{1}{4}}$, and the 1,000 team of relay队 of Cindy Cox, Lorna Tucker, Tudie McKnight and Hertzog, with a time of 3:58.9.
Merlene Otteyled Nebraska to its first-place victory, winning the 100 and 200-meter dashes with times of 11 and 13 seconds. The third run ran in the winning, 400-team, relay.
MCGRANAHAN, a sophomore who has been throwing the discus since junior high, had a best throw of 154.6. To qualify for the AIAW National Outdoor Meet, she will have to throw at least 158.
KU's softball hopes tested today by MU
In a three-team race for the Big Eight Championship, Kansas softball team may be halfway there
After knocking off last year's conference championship Oklahoma State last week, the Jayhawks will battle Oregon in the first round of the Holcomb Complex at 3 p.m. today.
Missouri has had some impressive victories this spring, defeating two nationally ranked teams, Californiaberkley and Texas A&M. The Tigers also won a 30 team tournament over spring break.
Kansas is expected to battle both Oklahoma State and Missouri for the conference title this spring. The Jayhawks already have defeated Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in a 17-team tournament last weekend.
Earlier this fall Kansas and Missouri split two games and Gay Boznango, senior third baseman, injects today's game to be just as even.
"We've played about the same amount of games so it will be pretty even," she said.

Women's golf team win
Rather than throw his team into a full-scale tournament for its first meet of the season, Kansas' women's golf club drew a match schedule a duel with Wichita State.
The team won that match Friday and team members believe they benefitted from the decision to let the squad relax in its first meet.
Four team members shot their best scores of the season and the squad won the meet with a 349 total. Wichita State finished with 359.
Patty Coe, a sophomore, said the meet would be best for new members of the team.
"It's a really good idea for the new
golf," she said.
RANDALL WAS also pleased with the team's performance, both in the Wichita State meet and in recent practice sessions.
"The team is coming along," he said. "They're working hard."

The Last Metro
A look at life in and around a Paris theater during the German occupation. The *Last Metro* is chillingly casual in its depiction of anti-seismic and adaptation to tyranny. Everyone deals in the black market, an actor (Departure) must sign a declaration, has no jaws in his family before he is hired, or has no eyes. It is refused work because she is jealous. Departure is the manager/leading of the theater whose Jewish husband supposedly escaped the Nazis, but is in fact hiding in the theater's basement. She lives a double life, cooking and caring for her husband by night, holding the theater and company to less than terrific character, played by a less than terrific actress, a good thing Deneuse is beautiful, because her acting talent wouldn't support a family of field mice.

Suzanne Schifman, and Jean Claude Gunberg,

The Last Metro (which refers to the German curfew) seems to be a warm and mostly compassionate look at these survivors, their every courage and their unpleasant compromises, but ultimately, it creates a three-way love story, with echoes of *Echoes*. The film ends almost as a valentine to Deneve, with her face frame in a red oval.
Ampersand
If Truffaut is trying to tell us that our mandate personal problems are more important to us than politics, justice and liberty, he could have made the point more obviously, more bitingly. On the other hand, when compared to recent films from Hollywood and other film capitals, the *The Jazz Man* is clearly above that crowd, the work of a man who loves making movies and knows how to show so well that he holds our attention even when he isn't telling us what we want to know.
I left the film feeling as if I missed something. I kept waiting for the clincher, the profound insight into Men and Women Under Siege, but it never came. I was perplexed and unable for Insights into a Marriage Under Siege, which were these slender and misleading.

The silent cinema was history long before Radio City Music Hall was opened in 1932, but it still seemed as if this was the moment for which it had been created: the resurrection of Abel Gance's 1927 epic *Napoleon*. This latest extravaganza of Françis Coppola, a series of showings of the four-hour movie at the grand old showroom which was almost live for good two years ago), complete with live orchestra accompaniment, had the air of a major event from the start and somehow the confusion at the beginning; ticket-holders, stranded in the back by a shortage of ushers as the lights went out began to demonstrate nosily — only reir forced the feeling.
Napoleon
The 1927 premiere also took place in an impressive setting — the Paris Opera. What audience saw was a gigantic cinema, of sweeping gestures and overpowering images and effects, equalled only by Eisenstein and Griffith and approached since then by Kuroshima. In creating his romantic portraits from childhood up to his Italian campaign in the first of a project七套part series), Gunze. Because every resource of the cinema and invented a few of his own. Extreme long shots, backlighting, moving camera shots, and protechnic editing were used with a previously unknown freedom. The most assembling innovation was Polyxion — a film that required Gunze not only for wide-screen images, but for complex multiple-image images which have not been duplicated since.
That performance was a triumph, as were others in Europe. Then, suddenly, a bokey melodian with music called the *Jazz Nugget* in America, and *Napoleon* was doomed.
It was the British director and film historian Kevin Brownlow (whose wonderful book on the silent cinema, The Parade's Gone It), includes the best account of Gance's career and the sad fate of Niko who came upon a few reels of the film while he began to search for missing pieces of it. He reconstructed the original. Except for the trifects—only the last of the four wide screen sequences is known to survive—Brownlow had come close enough by the mid-80s to start showing the movie around. Once those who saw it was Coppa, who had the crazy idea of putting it at Radio City.
In January, after successful screenings in London, he did it, with Carmine Goppola his father, leading the American Symphony Orchestra, periodically spelled by Leonard Raver at the huge Music Hall organ, in an original score whose romanticism was a mark of that of the movie. The 1981 New York auditorium, topped the film much the way the Paris spectacle there was cheering and applause for scene after scene — for a pillow fight in which the screen split into nine images; for the dazzling intercutting of Napoleon's escape from Corsica in a storm and a human storm in a wild, brutal recreation of the Battle of Toulouse on the schoonhamana of the Bal des Vicentes; for the startling carnations of the major figures of the French Revolution (Gance himself appears briefly as Saint-Just). A few viewers deserted during the long, drawn-out courtship of Josephine, but the three-screen finale in *Saint Jacques* 's song de grape de superimposition with the giant Tricolor — brought the audience to its feet as if they had discovered the cinema for the first time.
Abel Gance is still alive, but at 91 his constitution is no longer up to the rigors of a transatlantic journey. Thus it was Francis Coppola who came out before the movie to read a short message from Gance and inform the audience that their applause be transmitted to Gance by transatlantic means. That applause must have sounded sweet to a man who had to wait half a century for the vindication of his life's work.

Over the past twenty-old years, Dellert McClinton has been working up a special instrument. Starting in sticks-of-stickes clubs where customers might walk in "with pistols older'n their granddaddies stuck in their back pocket," the ubibock-born, 41-year-old singer has been working extraordinary shadings into his rust-flecked voice, an instrument that can express joy, lust, joy, experience and regret in a single, short phrase. Now, with a lean R&B mixture called "Giving it up for Your Love," a track that actually sounds too good for radio fare, McClinton finally has a Top Ten hit.
