Nebraska victory excites swim team
By JIM SMALL Sports Writer
The Kansas men's swim team is on a streak that will hopefully bring the Jayhawks their 11th Big Eight Conference win. The team and team members are excited about it.
KU is fresh off a victory this weekend against reigning Big Eight champion Nebraska and will carry a 4-2 record in championships next month in Norma, Ohio.
THE TEAM IS real confident and ready to go, said junior sprinter Jim Rowland. "The biggest thing about us is that we are consistent. Everyone has swum consistently well. A lot of other Big Eight teams haven't done that."
Much of the reason for Rowland's optimism can be found in the Nebraska match.
Before the meet, KU Coach Bill Spahn said that for the Jawahrasn to win the IIG eight Championship they would need to score 47 against just that, pulling off a 68-45 victory.
With the big Jayhawk for an audience, Kansas diver Ben Spencer heads for the water during Saturday's dual swim meet with Nebraska at Robinson Natatorium. The Jawhaws defeated the Cornbushers 68-45.
KU started off at a torrid pace in the meet, winning the first four events.
"I think that we took them by surprise at the beginning." Spahn said. "I think that our winning those first few events got them a little down."
Leading Kansas was Rowland, who won the 200-meter freestyle and 100 freestyle, Bob Vince, who captured the 500 freestyle and co-captain Steve Kowalczyk who set a pool record in the 280 individual medley with a time of 1:54.32.
NOT ONLY DID the Jayhawks swim well, but Spahn said that he saw
potential in KU's diving. Nebraska is considered by most coaches to be the Big Eight power in diving.
"We really showed improvement in diving," he said. "Mark Marphy finished second in three-meter diving. I was very pleased."
Rowland said he expected greater things out of the Cornhuskers when the two teams meet at the conference championships.
"We beat Nebraska twice last year by a wider margin than Saturday's meet and they turned around and won Big Eight Championship." Rowland said.
"WE SWAM WELL Saturday, but in three weeks it could be different," he said.
Spahn also expects a tougher test from Nebraska later in the season.
If Nebraska wants things to be different they will have to reckon with Graves because, according to Spain, the driving force behind the team.
"There is no doubt that he is the leader of this team," Spahn said. "Everyone on the team knows that and everyone on the team respects him."
Graves is also respected by people who are involved with swimming programs around the leaue.
"I have been aware of him for several years," Nebraska Coach Cal Benz said. "He is a fine swimmer and an outstanding young man. I have a lot of respect for him as do the swimmers on this team."
For four years Graves has been a mainstay in the KU program. He has worked with students at Rutgers and NYU.
every year that he has been at KU and is expected to be among those competing for national honors this year in Austin, Texas.
LAST YEAR WAS perhaps Graves' finest year. He finished 14th in the 100 breaststroke at the NCAA meet at Cambridge, Mass.
"I enjoy competing in the nation's because it gives me a chance to see different parts of the country," he said. "It's just a lot of fun."
Graves has broken six Big Eight
records and is the current conference record-holder in the 200 and 400 individual medleys. He also holds school records from the 1960s and the 200 and 400 individual medleys.
But the story of Steve Graves goes beyond his accomplishments in the pool, according to Snahn.
"He'll be a very successful person in what ever he does," Spahn said. "He is a very hard worker at whatever he does, and he wants that wants to do well in life and will he."
Graves, perhaps better than anyone, displays the qualities that make the good student athlete. Competing in a sport that requires 6:30 a.m. practice to go along with two-hour afternoon workout, Graves still manages to maintain a 3.5 grade point average with a major in accounting.
"FOR AS MUCH and as hard as we work it is pretty hard for anyone to do well in the classroom, "Spahn said. "It is better to believe that he is doing so well."
Graves prefers to shrug off his achievements as part of a daily routine.
"I just sit down after dinner to study," he said. "It takes a little discipline and a lot of studying on weekends, but most of the other guys on campus do well in school also. I don't think that I'm different from anyone else."
Graves said that he was also optimistic about the Jayhawks' chances at the conference championship.
KU women's loss should help against KSU, KU coach says
By SANDY CLARK Sports Writer
If there's any such thing as a timely loss, Kansas" women' s basketball team may have had one Saturday.
Taking their No. three ranking and 10-game winning streak into Detroit, the Jayhawks were riding high. So high that the unranked Titans caught them off guard. KU paid the price, losing 52 to kicking up to sixth in the national rankings.
The Jayhawks will have a chance to show renewed respect for their opponents when they meet the Kansas State football team in Allen Field House. Tieoff is at 8:20.
KU Head Coach Marian Washington was more grateful for the loss than bitter.
"THERE'S NO DOUBT about it that this loss will help us," she said. "We've played 24 games and won 20 of them. I think thoughts like this happen for a reason. This might have been just what we needed to push us."
The Jayhawks' overconfidence was understandable considering that they had won nine of their last 10 games by 20 points or more. At times during that period they even won when they didn't play their best.
But KU, with a second-rate effort, couldn't get past a surprisingly tough Detroit team. The Jayhawks shot only 30 percent from the field and 50 percent from the free throw line. They suffered a miserable drought in the first half, missing all six of their free throw attempts.
That performance could be easily forgotten with a victory over K-State tonight.
"IT'S MO GLAD we have this K-State game so soon." Washington said. "I'll help us forget that whole bad experience. I know the kids are eager to

The Wildcats would also like to forget their bad experience at Drake over the weekend. They were easily beaten by the Bulldogs. 9471.
"Our confidence is definitely down," K-State Head Coach Lymie Hickey said. "We've lost a couple of games that we should have won. I think Drake is the second best team in the division to KU, we shouldn't have gotten beat that bad."

Nothing would get the Wildcats' confidence back up faster than a win over KU, but that may not be easy.
tonight, they will have swept the season series for the first time ever.
KU has had the upper hand in both contests against K-State this season, winning 85-40 in January and 88-48 days later in Manhattan. The Wildcats had won 21 straight games against KU on their home court before that loss.

I've got an offer you can't refuse." Barbara
who had been standing alone at the dorm party, rolls her eyes and wonders why she always seems to attract the jerks. But Joe, who said the line sincerely enough, thinks he has really impressed his new-found female companion.
When a man meets a woman at a fraternity party or some social setting he really underestimates the negative effect that can make with a line like this: "Author of first Impressions: The Psychology of Encountering Others (Prenice-Hall, Aline that would have work in a library. Klaike思es, is one that incorporates a little modesty, like I'm a little embarrassed about coming up with an answer, but wanting to talk to you."
At this point, it's going to take a real effort on Joe's part to convince her that he is a nice guy. It's all a matter of first impressions, and researcher Chris Kleinke thinks they can mean a lot more than people think.
When meet new people in a dorm or classroom sit to be too open, advise kids to be too open, advice kids Saying a little about yourself denies interest in the other boarder on your desk on your boarder can be a real turpole.
First impressions carry even bigger stakes in a job interview setting. Kleinke is shown that when experienced as an eye contact, clothing, and a firm handshake can make a positive statement, subtleties like excessive use of familiarity can have a negative name of an interviewer may be seen as too intimate too fast, says Kleinke. The best idea is to act a little humble before an interview, during him take the libery of lighting up a cigarette without assuming that such privileges also extend to you.
And You Thought YOU Had Problems
Before you walk in to a job interview, consider how the other half thinks. Robert Genua, author of The Employer's Guide to Interview Hall, 1979, $5.95), gives employers these hints for evaluating an applicant:
"Always watch for 'knock out' items on employment applications that should automatically eliminate a canon of experience, job-related health problems, unavailability to start work within a reasonable amount of time, unrealistic salary expectations.
"Explore apparent incon-赛sties that occur between information and that obtain information. If one view is written on the application and then something else is told to you the interview, you should find out the reason why.
"Watch for signs that the applicant may be overly tense. Does he or she fidget? Does she swing feet, blush easily, from a lot, squint, or in outward signs of excessive stress."
"Note how well an applicant can explain something. For example, if the applicant mentions something you know nothing about, ask him or her to tell you about what they carefully interested and watch carefully are used well in explaining clearly and precisely what he or she is talking about."
ADVICE ON ADVISERS
A little advance preparation can spell the difference between a productive or disinterested learner with your academic adviser.
Plan your questions beforehand and check for the answers in the school bulldog. Expect Marjorie Ewing Aiding You Getting Good Grades: How To Succeed In College (Prentice-Hall, 1980, $3.95). This saves time and relieves stress. Ask the adviser will be the fount of all knowledge.
You should always be on
time for the appointment
during the busiest advising
periods, sessions are usually
scheduled back-to-back, so
you can make the most of
your time and your adviser's
time.
Finally, be sure that the adviser is someone with whom you good rapport. Agaissays says, "If you can't talk to your adviser about the problems that affect academic work—and a different kind of problems can arise," I think you really ought to look for another adviser."
