Owens looks to fans for edge against Cowboys Jayhawk's opponent best of second division
The Big Eight postseason basketball tournament is five years old today.
Its five years have been filled with complaints from lovers of the Big Eight Holiday Tournament, which the postseason meet replaced. There have also been grips from coaches and fans, who would rather have the Big Eight's representative to the NCAA Championship tournament be the regular season champion, as it was before the postseason tourney.
ALL COMPLIANTS will be set aside by seven teams tonight, however. The only team in the Big Eight that might favor the old plan is Missouri, the regular-season champion. All others will truly get a "second season," another chance to win the NCAA's automatic spot for the Big Eight. Kansas, by virtue of its second-place Big Eight tie during the regular season, plays Oklahoma
The luck of the draw, as well as Saturday's 80-65 victory over Oklahoma State that made the difference between second and fifth place, gave the Jayhawks the chance to face the Cowboys in four days. Playing back-to-back games with the Gators was advantageous, KU's Head Coach, Ted Owens said.
Kansas, by virtue of its second-place Big Eagle during the regular season, Oklahoma is ranked at 7. The Oklahoma State was ranked at 7.
"IT HELPS IN some ways," Owens said.
"Your preparation for several days has been to play Oklahoma State and you just continue that preparation."
Most of the other Big Eight coaches are probably happy that Owens gets the advantage of preparing for the same team two games in a row. Oklahoma State, the Big Eight's leader until mid-February, is the best of the second division teams.
"All of the teams that play at home in the first round would like to play anyone but Oklahoma State." Owens said. "They have that kind of respect. The other home teams would rather not play Oklahoma State because they are a dangerous team."
Because the Cowboys are a talented team, Owens is more concerned about the attendance of tonight's game. Attendance at first-round tournament games has been low in the past, as low as 3,610 last season against Colorado. The crowd was an important factor in Saturday's game, Owens said, and despite lagging ticket sales, he hopes to see a larger crowd tonight.
"I THINK MOST times people have assumed that we will win and that they will wait to see us in Kansas City," Owens said. "The best chance that we have of winning is to have student support. One of the most important reasons for our success at host the crowd response.
"It’s vital that we have the student support for this game. OSU is a dangerous roar team." They
"The reason for the home court advantage is the positive force that the crowd has for the home team. There aren't many teams that get support that we get, and we will really need it."
beat Kansas State, Oklahoma and Iowa State on the road.
The Jayhawks will have one thing tonight that they didn't need very badly Saturday. Six-foot-9 center Victor Mitchell is back to full strength and he will help him out of the starting lineup for two games.
John Crawford, 6-8 forward, both those games and played well enough that Mitchell was used for only 13 minutes Saturday and 14 minutes the game before against Nebraska. Crawford scored 13 points and had 5 rebounds against NI and had 15 points and 12 rebounds against Oklahoma State. Crawford will start tonight, Owens said.
"VICTOR HAD A good practice yesterday and I would anticipate that he will be ready to play."
Paul Hansen, coach of the Cowboys, is looking at tonight's game as a chance to get into the NHL.
A victory tonight would give his team a 19-8 record and possible consideration for an at-large
bid to the national meet. The victory would also advance the Cowboys to Kansas City where they could win the automatic bid, but the record is more important to Hansen.
"I WANT THAT 19th win," Hansen said. "That's what is important to me. It doesn't matter if we had gotten it Saturday or Tuesday. We've got to have it for a shot at a tournament because of the absence of February (34), it would be awfully tough for us to get a tournament bid with an 18-9 record."
JAYHAWK NOTES: United Press International announced its All-Big Eight team last night. The first team was: Rolando Blackman, Kansas State; Andre Smith, Nebraska; Matt Clark, Oklahoma State; Joo Hunt, Colorado; and tied for the fifth spot were Kansas' senior guard Darnell Valentine and Missouri forward Ravier Frazier.
The second team was: Jack Moore, Nebraska;
Nesly, Kansas State; Chuck Barnett,
Oklahoma.
Honorable mention went to Leroy Combs, Ohio State; Tori Cogan, Joan Sundahl, Ohio State; Kevin Missouri.
FIVE KU players, including three of the players expected to start tonight, will be playing their

KU women's track team overcomes low ranking
By WENDY L. CULLERS Sports Writer
Nebraska won its second consecutive Big Eight women's track championship this weekend, but a third-place finish for KU did not cause any disappointment.
The Jayhawks, ranked sixth in a coaches' poll before the championships at Lincoln, Neb., won two events and scored 76 points, beating out Kansas State for third place.

"We were really happy," KU Assistant Coach Theo Hamilton said. "This was our best job in competition this year. It was a super team effort.
"The team put in more than 100 percent the put in 120 percent. It was a total team effort."
Ten Big Eight records were in the meet including Tudie McKnight's event-winning leap of 1894 in the long jump. The mark qualified her for the Masters and which will be held March 13-14 in Pocatello, Idaho.
"IM REAL HAPPY," McKnight said. "This jump tells me how I'll be doing in the outdoors."
Gwen Poess, who qualified for the national championships earlier this season, won the 60-match hurdles with a time of 8.02, edging teammate Katie McKinney and mark of 8.06 qualified her for the nationals.
The Jayhawks have qualified four athletes for the national championships. Lori Green-Jones, already qualified, finished third in the 300 at the conference championships.
Kansas finished among the top six in every event except two, including a second-place finish in the NCAA championship.

BEWARE THE EUROPEAN LEECH
Foreign Studies Programs
Are Not Always ... Foreign
in the spring of her sophomore year in college, a young woman decided to spend a semester of her junior year in France for credit towards her French major for twice the amount of money she earned at home university she was accepted into a program sponsored by a respectable American university. When she arrived in France she found herself living in a dormitory of a dormant student and students were not allowed to study in French professors. Instead of being registered as a student of the area university [in this case, the University of Bordeaux], she discovered that the program was linked to an independent university. She then headed ship to the French university. Consequently, she was not allowed access to the university's library and had to depend upon a feeble selection of books from the city library. She relied on a valuable sense of the French education system and social student life.
The quality of a program set up by an American university depends largely upon the commitment of that university to the program. There is a need to train students to ship students off, entrusting them to the care of "representatives" from foreign universities. There are cases in which the official liaison in the foreign country must be present to status in that academic community. Eminent foreign universities look upon these academic entrepreneurs as leeches, and take steps to prevent an authorized American student from enlisting in halls and using their libraries.
On the other hand, European universities less concerned about their academic reputation repraise American universities and demand extra money. Some rent out dormitories at a stiff price to the parent university in the States, and allow him to use the money for facilities and faculties. Even this does not always mean the use of libraries or the befit of foreign faculty instruction, erer, as well as of a good foreign study program.
There are three basic types of foreign study programs. One is sponsored by an American university in an institution, implied with a British or continental university. The second type is sponsored by a foreign university and aimed explicitly at the American student. The third type is linked with a wholly independent or organization, either foreign or American, and set up in the locale of a foreign university frequently with no reciprocalization from that foreign university.
Such an experience is not unusual. The increasing number of American students choosing to spend their summer holidays in foreign countries corresponding increase in the number of foreign study programs —many of them hoping to exploit the "rich" American college students, hungry for international education that native in their choice of programs.
...aung; because many American universities will not accept independent credit from foreign universities, a
There are, of course, varying degrees of quality among the numerous foreign study programs available to the university. It is often, never, to be very expensive. One way to avoid the prohibitive cost of a foreign study program is to apply diy admission programs in your country. Most European universities are public institutions that are heavily subsidized by the government. Thus foreign students who want to study at the student is not a citizen of the country.
Naturally this involves a more intense approach. These extra commodities, field trips and grade transfers will not have been arranged upon arrival. There will be no AmeriCan homeobioses. Still, the direct experience of a foreign school—its social life and academic standards—will be a far more demanding study program tailored like a tour for retired senior citizens. (Obviously, a confident grasp of the language is necessary to make this experience open to students open their registration to noncitizen students, the crucial source of information is the foreign country's official language.) A warning because many American universities will no longer indenture
foreign study program may be the only means of acquiring academic credit if it is needed. In this case it is necessary to enroll in an institution or organization with questions that may not be answered in its brochure. Are courses specially designed for foreign students? Will all one's classmates be Americans? What are the qualifications and nationalities of the instructors? Does the student have an official relation with the institution? What does this include—library privileges, faculty instruction, membership in student organizations? Do foreign students do not accept any foreign undergraduates, independently or in a foreign study program, though there are many summer programs and even winter programs conducted in their vicinity.
Finally, before even considering a foreign study program it is necessary to evaluate one's academic and personal expectations of a foreign study experience. The questions that stem from this consideration are important as the questions asked of the program. What sort of living accommodations would be preferred, family or dormitory? Could the student be taught in English or the security of American classmates to make friendships and speak the language of the country? Would the student be happier travel under the supervision of a known superior or guideur by personal ambitions and expense?
country can be an invaluable experience if one is wise in the selection of a program. Even if one's college or university doesn't offer programs, it is important to compare them with others. Where would one rather be—Baris or Bordeaux? Is it possible to save money for more pleasurable experiences? How demanding is the program in academic standard? Does it allow for personal initiative, time for travel? How can one prepare for the course of the student in the foreign study program, the more expensive it will be and, perhaps, the less will be gained from the experience.
Living and studying in a foreign

THE "KEY" TO A GREAT SPRING BREAK
BY ALISON NELSON
A mere sixy miles from Cuba, Key West is the most南most point in the world. It offers a string of tiny islands off the coast of Florida called the "Keys." Key West is rapidly becoming the springtime mecca for college students from around the world.
It's an annual predicament. As spring break approaches, many college students get the urge to go on vacation with friends and funds, with parents who think the ideal spring vacation is a week at home with the family. Sunny days are better for students to enjoy a fabulous Florida vacation without running into debt or staying at Aunt Sally's condominium in Tampa it's called 'camping in Key West.'
Vacationing in Key West needn't be expensive. Those willing to travel on the economy plan "forging such luxuries as plane flights and hotel room canals" for themselves, as for little as $150 per person. Besides traveling's checkers, all one needs are summer clothes, sun-tan衣, a tent and a sleeping bag. Car owners will be spared the hassles of finding a ride down, but if you own a gasar motor may need to find a couple of friends to share expenses.

Those who arrive at Bovin's on a Saturday have the best chance of getting a fairly decent camp site in the shade under some trees, with a small picnic table nearby. The less fortunate are those under the blazing sun, on camping on something kinky to kitty litter. If the campground is temporarily full, the best place to go is not the beach or a public park, but rather to college high jinks, and those包队 can in unaffected areas often end up in jail for several days, awaiting bond money from their parents. Fortunately, there are several other camps in the area that a father away from town and the beach

While far away from the city, they telephones, and at $6 per night for two people, the price can't be beast. The campground sponses inexpensive souls and snooker lessons, and is loophole-free from tow and the public beaches.

MOSEYING AROUND EUROPE... PODNER
BY RICHARD LEVINSON
Relax the处 is lousy with cowboys and if you carry a battered guitar along too, you'll probably be ask for help. They'll tell you to get invited to the best parties. Not only will you score big with the locals as you *sunter*, legs bowed, down the Champs Elysees but in least two larger final establishments made just for you.

The Studio (41) Rue du Temple, Paris is an honest-to-gut goey TeX/Mexican stacks from Notre Dame Rose Restaurant, a renowned entrepreneur, the Office offers chill at least as good as most urban bars and restaurants of tortilla dishes. It's also a good place to meet American peer groups. The address is a very dark alley leadway and the office is right outside the location is located, but not be put off by the *dinners*. The Studio is warm and friendly, and on certain nights an American bluegrass band plays later in the evening.
Well, fine, but, being the stylish sort you are, you are also heavily invested in the so 'couleur cowboy trend. What, you say? Is it really a kind of thunk of your tall-in the saddle look?
In Amsterdam, the Bronco (1 block from the Amsterdam Sonesta IX hotel in the Centurium) is a full-fledged Urban Cowboy bar complete with live C & W music and a fucking machine. One gets the feeling that it may be even more fun than playing, and will be just as hasty rebuilt to cash in on the next one. No matter. The drinks are real drinks, the waitresses are the most beautiful ones you ever see in a country bar, and while you are eating passable pie, you’re going to Amsterdam everybody asks. (Sample answers. Yes, you can in some places. Yes, there are lots, at competitive prices.) While there, find out how to get to the Last Water Holder, which is a good place where you’ll just find what you’re looking for if you catch my wait.
