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 Classic and is preparing for the NBA draft. Recruiting is in full swing. Coach Tom Brady has that tradition's been stormy.
One question, however, remains unanswered—the fate of another Kansas-Wichita State matchup.
THE MERE MENTION of the season-endning 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 trouser 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.
The Shocker basketball program has been built in recent years to one of extreme notoriety.
Opinion
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 WSU won forward Anteine Carr and this year, 7-footer Greg Dreling.
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 pack.
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 to 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 and get mad about 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 unpleasant.
But not as ugly as the Shocker fans. Never has a group been more vocally, embarrassingly rude to the Jawhakers. Cheers that Wildcat fans mutter under their breaths or write on posters, such as Rock Chalk Chickenhawk, and you know the rest, were screamed by the Shockers crowd on national television. That incidentally, predominantly alumni, abused everyone wearing even a 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 wasn't supposed to get this far.
The Kings, who were the last team to qualify for the National Basketball Association playoffs this year, suddenly lost a big win in the Western Conference semifinal-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The Kings outlasted the Portland Trail Blazers in a best-of-3 series to win their first title. The club moved from Cincinnati in 1972.
By PAUL D. BOWKER Sports Writer
The first game of the series is at 10:30
THE KINGS advanced to the semi-finals after beating the Trail Blazers 104-95 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.
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' success in beating Portland was a result of slowing down the Trail Blazers' running game, the same thing they did against the Suns, the Pacific Division champion.
"We have to control the tempo," Kansas City Coach Cotton Fitzsimons 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 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 miniseries last year and in the Western Conference semifinals the year before.
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 total tie 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."
Phil Ford, the Kings' second-year guard, might play in spots against the Suns, but isn't expected to see much action because of an eye injury.
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.
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.
Women's track team 2nd in chilly outdoor meet
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 Kansas State had 52 and Missouri 22.
Merlene Otleyted Nebraks to its first-place victory, winning the 100 and 200-meter dashes with times of 11 and 14 seconds. She also ran in the winning 400-relay team.
Jayhawks who placed first included Debbie Hertzog in the 1,500, 4:44; Comie McKernan in the 100 hurdles, 14.2; Becky McGranahan in the discus, 150-9 team and the 1,600 team of relay队 of Cindy Cox, Lorna Tucker, Tudie McKnight and Hertzog, with a time of 3:58.9.
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
After knocking off last year's conference champ Oklahoma State last week, the Jayhawks will battle Florida in a top-four matchup. Holcomb Complex at 3 p.m., today.
In a three-team race for the Big Eight Championship, Kansas' softball team may be halfway there
Missouri has had some impressive victories this spring, defeating two nationally ranked teams, California-Berkley 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, takes 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 wir
K. U. BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER STAFF APPLICATIONS
Rather than throw his team into a full-scale tournament for its first meet of the season, Kansas" women's golf team scheduled a duel with Wichita State.
The team won that match Friday and team members believe they benefited 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.
"The team is coming along," he said.
"They're working hard."
"It's a really good idea for the new people so they can get used to college golf." she said.
RANDALL WAS also pleased with the team's performance, both in the Wichita State meet and in recent practice sessions.

Given that *Ampersand* is directed to the college age, there might conceiveably be something less than gratingly bad from an almost thirty-year old librarian.
I am nonetheless obliged to Judith Sims for her film reviews. It was when she — alm most alone it seems among critics — saw through *Kramer* is. *Kramer* that my attention was attracted. I have come to depend upon her observations.
Finally, as one who (professionally) surveys scores of periodic publications each week, my compliments to *Ampersand* and for a crisp and intelligent supplement.
I just read Glenn Abel's article about comedian Tomads Park in February's *Ampersand*. Mr. Abel needs to get his facts straight. Georgia Tech is not in Athens. Georgia Athens is the home of the University of Georgia and the national champion Bulldogs. Georgia Tech is that little trade school located in Atlanta.
I am quite angered by your concluding paragraph of the Readers' Poll. I must ask. What do you expect? I would venture to guess that relatively few college students, especially in smaller towns, are exposed to the artistic, newground break music. So I will name them to name. I very rarely see such 'great art films as Fallin's *Surcicon*, or the latest Ingnar Bergman film, or even one by Francis Truffaut. Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, *Ordinary People* or even *airplane* are better films? Also, you know that a lot of college students are well versed in artistic endeavors, when they very well may not be.
Author Abel realised his mistake too late. He hoped no one would be rude enough to say, "I'm sorry."
I really resent your patronizing attitude and your belief that there is a right or wrong response to questions based on opinion. Could it be that the fault lies in your poll or in yourselves, or is that too sacrilegious to even contemplate?
I just want to add one thing about critics: I feel sorry for you. You simply cannot seem to enjoy anything unless it is "vibrant," "artistic," or "innovative." What's so bad about Top 40? If you use your limited intellect, you may just realize that that is all many college students are exposed to, and who can't afford of their "critical" or "artistic" proxies.

Instead of being dismayed at the absence of "off-beat" and "unusual" selections in the first annual readers poll, try viewing the selections from a different angle. Nonrecognition of performers like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would merely reveal your readers' ignorance and lack of taste. As it stands, however, the readers' selection of Bruce and the band for a number of the categories reinforces the notion that we are in fact an "informed, intelligent, and educated" audience.

Amersand ran several Readers' Polls in our first year of publication; we were dazzled then by the wide-ranging interests, the unexpected specializations in the midst of the educated mainstream. This time, our tone was not patronizing; it was simply disappointed. Our readers are informed, educated and intelligent; their interests just aren't very wide-ranging anymore (geography is no excuse).
I want to let you know that I really enjoyed the latest *Ampersand*. I really think you do an excellent job on this publication. There's always something interesting and worthwhile to read in it. I particularly like the concert and record reviews. I think you honestly try to cover as many tracks as possible, but we have continually neglected to print anything about one of America's foremost (not commercially but musically) groups — the Grateful Dead. I believe that the Dead deserve some space, especially in this, their 15th anniversary year; like Bill Graham has said, "the Dead are not the best at what they're the only ones who do it. Ampersand" is close to this ideal. Keep up the good work!

ACCOODING To The New York Daily News *A* actress Fave Dunaway is taking instruction in Roman Catholicism so she can convert before a June marriage to photo-girl Mary Konek, the father of her son, Liam. (O'Neill has children by his first wife, living in England.)

According to on-the-set observers of Mommie Dearest, the currently filming Joan Crawford biography starring Dunaway, she ought to bypass the regular priest and hire an exorcist. Apologetics claim Ms. Dunaway always acts difficult when she has a difficult role. Observers say she's pitched countless jobs, just not expensive jewelry, harbaged O'Neill mercurially revit ten scenes to her own liking, cut up expensive hand-made wigs and taken upon herself the re-designing of costumes by fourtime Academy award winner Irene Sharra. Producer Frank Yablans reportedly sought studio permission to fire Dunaway, then back down when she promised to shape up. The actress 'anties have caused the picnic scene to go wrong,' Yablans technique, when running late, is to throw away whole chunks of script material in order to finish a picture on time.
