Ross Randall 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 team 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 M. Bahan as 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 student. But with last week's practice he was able to be 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.
practice together. "THERE IS NO competition." Randall said.
THERE is no competition. The first men's tournament, the Gulf Coast International, will be March 15-20 on Padre Island, Texas. The women's first outing will be the Waterwood-Sam Houston State University 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 Owetland Park, comes in. Fischer is one of the few students who can see
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 don’t get out on weekends. Second, our budget is limited.”
The optimistic Randal 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.
THAT SHOULDN't be a problem, according to Sarah Burgess, a member of the women's_to_help organization.
Randall said he thought that he and the KU athletic department were working together more.
"Our coach is a lot of help, a definite addition," she said. "He is enough to make any high school player come to this school."

Besides breaking a winless streak in San Antonio, the Kings' upset victory also broke the Spurs' record.
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.
Spurs back into contention. San Antonio out-scored Kansas City 30-20 in the final quarter.
The Spurs lead the division with a record of 45-23 and have already clinched a spot in the NBA's Top 10.
Besides Moore's 16 points, Brewer and Wiley each scored eight. Other San Antonio scorers in double figures were Rich Johnson with 12 points and Paul Silas with 11.
BIRDSONG, THE fifth leading score in the NBA, has scored in double figures in every game except one this season and has scored more than 20 points in 46 games.

Swimmers want to swipe Big 8 title from Huskers

Heading into last year's Big Eight men's swimming championship, the Kansas men's swim team had beaten Nebraska twice by 13-4 in the second round that ended up taking the conference crown.
Kansas coach Bill Spain said he hoped KU's 84-85 victory over Nebraska two weeks ago was not a bad omen as the Jayhawks compete at this year's Big Eight Championship in Norman, Okla. The meet starts today and runs through Saturday.
KANSAS WILL BE out for revenge against
the Clippers, who snapped a last year-
year championship win last year.
"We had beaten them twice in dues 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."
But the Jayhawks have learned from their mistakes, Spahn said.
THE PROPER ATTITUDE and two big Eight Championships might help the Jayhawks upset Nebraska, which is favored the road.
"We know better now," he said. "Our attitude heading into conference is much superior to what it was last year."

their leadership is important to our team.
Graves and Wright won't be alone in their efforts to return the conference championship to KU.
SOPHOMORE BOVIN, 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.
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.
"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."
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.
Jayhawk swimmers now hold top conference marks in the 200 individual medley, the 200 breaststroke and the 500 freestyle events.
"The team has made great progress this
year, and will improve upon the next one."

Lease is key to successful apartment
By SHARON APPELBAUM Staff Reporter
Many problems, especially those arising from security deposits and termination of tenancy, could be avoided if students understood their rights and obligations, he said.
"For many students, a license is the first contract they sign," Chapman said. "If there's any part they don't understand they can always bring it in to Consumer Affairs or Student Legal Services or ask the landlord."
Students who plan to rent an apartment should read and understand their leases and the law, Clyde Chapman, director of the Consumer Affairs Association, said.
For example, the law limits the amount a landlord can charge for a security deposit. The equivalent of one month's rent on an unfurnished apartment.
Students should also be acquainted with the Kansas Residential Landlord and
Tenant Act, which is the primary source of landlord-tenant law, he said.
If the apartment is furnished, the landlord may charge up to a month-and-a-half.
According to the law, the security deposit is used to pay the landlord's expenses in cleaning and repairing damages that are considered "normal wear and tear."
Many landlords, however, deduct for damages caused by previous tenants, chancery and
To prevent this loss, tenants should fill out an inventory of the premises with their receipts.
note anything that is dirty, damaged or worn, he said.
The law requires this joint inventory, but some landlords don't always follow it.
"They always seem to do that final inspection but not the initial one," he said.
If the landlord refuses to do an initial inspection, Chapman suggested that students conduct one themselves with a witness to co-sign it.
A sample inventory checklist is included in pamphlets on rental housing available from Legal Services and Consumer Affairs.
A completed copy of the inventory should be sent to the landlord, he said. This gives the tenant some leverage at the end of the year.

Landlords deduct from the deposit when cleaning is needed. The landlord may decide to accept a tenant's offer to clean as a substitute for payment, he said.
Gold Crown Properties, Inc., which owns Jayhawk West and Gatehouse apartments, provides a list of cleaning charges. For all rooms costing $2 and a dirty oven costs $10.
"Why not take 10 minutes to clean a bathtub instead of paying $10?" he said.
Chapman warned that the security deposit cannot be used to pay the last rent, and the tenant wants to do it, the landlord has the right to keep the deposit and sue for back rent.
After the last month of rent is paid and the tenant has moved out, the landlord is required to return the remaining deposit and receive a list of any deductions within 30 days.
Another major problem for student apartment dwellers is termination of the lease, Chapman said.
Many students are caught with an unwanted lease, Chapman said.
Most leases require 30 days written notice for termination, but some require 60 days notice. Others include a provision that allows the lease for another year if no notice is given.
"About the end of the last week of school and the week after, our office is packed," Chapman said. "Most of these students failed to read their leases."
Students may also have problems with a coommate who wants to break the lease, Clemens said.
"It ites six months down the road and they find they can't stand each other. Or a roommate may decide he just wants to leave."
The remaining tenants are still liable for the entire rent.
If a tenant breaks the lease, the "cleanest" way out is to sublease. The tenant must subletting tenant does not pay rent, however, the original tenant must cover for it.
Ultimately, the landlord decides who is going to sublet," Chapman said. "But tenants also should screen the applicants because they may carry the burden later."

A student who checks with the neighborhood association, located at 407 W. 12th Street, before renting can usually get a idea of how much work may be involved in restoring his dream house. The neighborhood association has a book with photographs and basic statistics for every house in the neighborhood.
"Some of the houses are pits," Harper said.
