Randall enjoys two coaching positions
By CYNTHIA HRENCHIR
Sports Writer
Ross Randal is a hard man to find. He's seldom in his office and rarely is at home.
As the grass grows greener and greener, the more often Randall can be found on the golf course. Randall, for the first time, is coaching both the men's and women's KU golf teams.
IT'S A CHALLENGE that Randall, a California native, enthusiastically accepts. He took the position of director of golf at the St. Louis Country Club, when he began coaching the men's golf team.
Randall's other duties include administrative work, running the junior golf programs and giving private lessons. Randall replaced Linda Perry as basketball coach. Bahan is an assistant women's basketball coach.
Both teams have been practicing since the beginning of this semester, preparing for spring tournaments. When the cold weather prohibited their outdoor practice, Randall arranged for a
practice area inside one of the buildings at Haskell Indian Junior College. In return, he advised Haskell golfers. But with last week's weather, he has been able to practice on the Alvamar course.
"Every day we get like this is a bonus," he said last week.
The two teams get along well and sometimes practice together.
"THEER IS NO competition," Randall said.
The first men's tournament, the Gulf Coast International, will be March 16-20 on Padre Island, Texas. The women's first outing will be March 25 at the University of Texas Invitational at Huntsville, Texas, March 30-31.
The men are scheduled to golf in five tournaments this spring, the women in four. Both teams will finish their regular season with the Big Eight Championships at Alvamar. The number of tournaments can present time conflicts for Randall.
That's where Tommy Fischer, a graduate student from Overland Park, comes in. Fischer is a teacher and has been teaching at the
bending meets. Fischer is also an apprentice in the Pro Golf Association program.
Randall has no plans to expand the number of tours the two teams take next year.
"TRIPS ARE worthwhile, but there are two things that stop us from expanding. First, the amount of school the team members can miss, and second, we can't get on weekends. Second, our budget is limited."
The optimistic Randall is already looking ahead to recruiting for next year.
"The outlook for teams next year will depend on the recruiting season." he said.
"They are doing all they can do to help us," he said.
Randall said he thought that he and the KU athletic department were working together and
"THAT SHOULDN'T be a problem, according to Marsh Bussage, a member of the women's group."
"Our coach is a lot of help, definite addition," she said. "He is enough to make any high school athlete."
Birdsong leads Kings past San Antonio, 111-97
SAN ANTONIO, Texas-After nine consecutive losses, the Kansas City Kings have finally beaten the San Antonio Spurs on the Spurs' home court.
Otis Bitsondy scored a game-high 39 points last night, in the second quarter, as the Kings made it 4-1.
IT WAS the first victory for the Kings in 10 games at the Hemisfair. Coupled with Boston's 108-101 victory over Houston, it boosted the Kings' lead in the Midwest division with a record of 34-36.
By United Press International
Kings are still battling for a playoff berth, along with Cardinals. 33-34 before last night's game against Utah.
Besides breaking a winless streak in San Antonio, the Kings' upset victory also broke the Rangers' six-game winning streak.
The Spurs lead the division with a record of 45-25 and have already clinched a spot in the top 10 in NBA history.
THE KINGS outscored the Spurs 27-14 in the second quarter and took a 56-40 lead at the half. Kansas City built a 28-point advantage early in the fourth quarter before the Spurs pulled to within eight points, 102-94, with 3:39 remaining in the game

KANSAS WILL BE out for revenge against
two-year championship winning team.
Sports Writer
Kansas coach Bill Spahn said he hoped KU's 84-65 victory over Nebraska two weeks ago was not a bad omens as the Jayhawks compete at this year's Big Eight Championship in Norman, Okla. The meet starts today and runs through Saturday.
"We had beaten them twice in duals last year," Spahn said. "I think that our team entered the conference meet a little overconfident. The team failed to realize that we team in a dual meet and beating them in a conference meet are two different things."
Heading into last year's Big Eight men's swimming championship, the Kansas men's swim team had beaten Nebraska twice by a combined score of 35-27. They ended up taking the crown.
THE PROPER ATTITUDE and two Big Eight Championships might help the Jayhawks upset Nebraska, which is favored in the stand.
But the Jayhawks have learned from their mistakes, Soahn said.
"We know better now," he said. "Our attitude heading into conference is much superior to what it was last year."
400 individual medleys and Wright is the champion in the 100 and 200 backtracks.
"Seve and Gardner know what it takes to
'Their leadership is important to our team.'"
Graves and Wright won't be alone in their efforts to return the conference championship
Kansas also will seek support from freshman Ken Grey in the 400 individual medley, sophomore Chuck Neumann in the 200 junior and junior Jim Rowland in the 200 butterfly.
SOPHOMORE BOB Vince, who recorded the top conference time in the 500 freestyle, broke the school record in the 1,000 freestyle earlier this year.
Spahn said the key to the meet would be the diving events.
"Nebraska is, by far, the strongest diving team in the conference," he said. "If we can stay with them in the diving while out-swimming them, we can beat them."

Jayhawk swimmers now hold top conference marks in the 200 individual medley, the 200 breaststroke and the 500 freestyle events.
ALTHOUGH MOST Big Eight coaches have picked Nebraska to repeat as conference champion, Kansas holds several of the best regular-season times in the conference.
"The team has made great progress this year, and we are impressed by the spirit of our team."

your serial numbers and engrave values, "Hope said, "You increase the chance of recovery if you have them."
The single most effective deterrent to crime may be the most enjoyable. Getting to know neighbors is often a way to insure that you will be keeping watch while you're gone.
Harper said that Oread used to be a relatively anonymous neighborhood. Now, the ONA educates residents to get to know their neighbors.
But he said that since residents organized two years ago into a cohesive, cooperative neighborhood, crime had dropped markedly.
Brothers, who works closely with ONA's anti-crime program, said that Oread had once been riddled with crime compared with other areas in Lawrence.
Last summer, for instance, burglaries in the NEighborhood dropped 78 percent.
The ONA offers other suggestions for protecting homes or apartments over burglar bars.
- Secure sliding glass doors with lower-tier bars or安装 pins through the frame.
- Stop all mail and newspapers.
- Make a list of all model and serial numbers.
- Take expensive items home or store them with a friend.
- Use small electric timers on lights and make it appear someone is home. Call the doctor.*
Students who want to know just how burglar-proof their houses and apartments are can call the Lawrence police or ONA for a free security check.

Home buying: best alternative to rent
BySTEVEHERBERT
KU students in lawrence rent-
er a house to buy a house to do it.
But students have to buy a house to do it.
Staff Reporter
Although buying a house requires an expensive down payment, monthly payments will be the same as or less than monthly rent payments, according to Cory Brinkerhoff, an agent for McGrew Real Estate Inc.
“If you look at the numbers.”
Brinkerhoff said, “buying a house is the best alternative. Everyone would want to know they could come up with the capital to do it.”
"There's a big tax benefit for the parents, especially in the upper-income bracket, be ahead."
Lack of capital is the reason few students do buy. Most undergraduate students cannot afford the initial down payment and have to have parental help.
For parents, buying a house for their children can be a good investment, according to Phil Harrison, agent for Gill Real Estate Agency. The money they shell out for their children's housing is money they will get back when they sell the house.
Harrison said that parents could get a tax break if they bought. Monthly payments, upkeep and depreciation on the house are all tax-free.
The situation is different for graduate students. With a PhD, graduate students are able to participate.
they often are working, they can afford the monthly payments.
Brinkerhoft said graduate students, being a step closer to full-time work, were often looking for the advantages home buying offered.
*Most undergraduate students are not concerned about their financial future.
"Graduate students tend to be investment oriented," he said. "They are old enough that they realize the value of home ownership."
"It depends on the area," he said.
Between the way he saw and the time
he was there, it could be some
something.
Houses are not all that students are buying, Barry Nall of Martin Real Estate Inc., said. Duplexes, condominiums and townhouses are other options.
"If the area improves rapidly, the gain is larger."
Students typically look for property close to campus in the $35,000 or $40,000 price range. Brinkerhoff said. That property, though, is hard to find.
"It's hard to find anything decent in a good location for that kind of money," he added. "There's a lot of good property for that money, but it's a long way from campus."
Students who do buy a house can increase its resale value if they do remodeling, Steve Jones, a broker for McGrew, said.
And if their neighborhood improves
they own the house, the resale value
improves.
"You have to be creative in this kind of market," he said.
