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 championship, 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 4-4 record on opportunitieships next month in Norman, Okla.
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 Jayhawks defeated the Cornshucks 68-45.
"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.
"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."
Before the meet, KU Coach Bill Spain said that for the Jayhawks to win the Big Eight Championship they would have had to defeat the Washington did just that, rattling off a 84-46 victory.
KU started off at a torrid pace in the meet. winning the first four events.
NOT ONLY DID the Jayhawks swim well, but Spahn said that he saw
Leading Kansas was Rowley, who won the 200-meter freestyle and 100 freestyle, Bob Vince, who captured the 500 freestyle and co-captain Steve Graves, who set a record in the 200 medal medley with a time of 1:54.32.

potential in KU's diving, Nebraska is considered by most coaches to be the Bid Eight power in diving.
"We really showed improvement in diviner," he said. "Mark Murphy 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.
Spahn also expects a tougher test from Nebraska later in the season.
"WE SWAM WELL Saturday, but in three weeks it could be different," he said.
"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.
If Nebraska wants things to be different they will have to reckon with Graves because, according to Spahn, the driver is 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 league.
"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 swum at the NCAA championships
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 WAS perhaps Graves' finest year. He finished 14th in the 100 breaststroke at the NCAA meet at Cambridge, Mass.
"I enjoy competing in the national'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 and is the national and the 200 and 400 individual medleys.
But the story of Steve Graves goes beyond his accomplishments in the pool, according to Spahn.
"He'll be a very successful person in what ever he does," Spahn said. "He is a very hard worker at whatever he does, but that means that wants to do well in life and he will."
Graves, perhaps better than anyone else, 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 not to believe that he is doing so well."
Graves prefers to shrug off his classroom achievements as part of a drill.
"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 Jaywhack' chances of winning. "I think I'm ready,"
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 that the unranked Titans caught them on the field, KU paid the price, losing 82-64 and killing to six in the national rankings.
The Jayhawks will have a chance to show renewed respect for their opponents when they meet the Kansas队, which tonight in Allen Field House. Tinoff is at 7:30.
KU Head Coach Marian Washington
was more grateful for the loss than
bite.
"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 won even 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 atten-
toms.
That performance could be easily forgotten with a victory over K-State tonight.
"ITM SO 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. 94-74.
"Our confidence is definitely down." K-State Head Coach Lymick Heyden 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, and shouldn't have gotten beat that bad."

Nothing would get the Wildcats' confidence back up faster than a win over KU. but that mav not be easy.
KU has had the upper hand in both contests against K-State this season, winning 85-60 in January and 88-68 days later in Manhattan. The Wildcats had won 21 straight games against KU on their home court before that loss.
tonight, they will have swept the season series for the first time ever.
"We've never had a year where we've won every game from them in a season," Washington said. "I'm hopeful that the kids can do it. We have to teach the ball and show more importance of energy." The most important element is intensity."

... theory of biorhythms is a mathematically based (and still hotly debated) concept that links our inner bodies to our external intellectual pulses to our daily highs and lows. The physical cycle—the shortest, lasting 23 days—correlates welling and fatigue, while the 28-day emotional pulse the innermost part of activity, and most important to writers—creativity. The 33-day intellectual cycle corresponds to mental acuity, memory, and decision-making, but the last week he wrote like Faust in inner pulses high), and down in each area and may enable a writer to understrike his own inner pulses high), and how he can't get a word out on paper all inner pulses low).

Naturally, you should start term papers early and allow plenty of time for research and revision. But let's talk
All Through the Night
There are ways to make the inevitable all-night, last-minute term paper less painful. Some well-tested tips
- When you are researching, use a red pen for important notes or direct quotes in the text and a black pen for background material.
- Also, note cards containing quotes or major points can be pasted into the rough draft to eliminate rewriting and to make a tactic. number your note cards to match the numbered topics on your outline and yourself for completing portions of the paper. You could stand on your head every hour or so—it makes your brain work and wakes up you.
- Finally, read the paper backward; this makes it easier to detect spelling errors and twos.

ESSAYS MADE EASY
The How To Go to College Book by Michael J. Gross (Passage Publishing Company, Seattle, 1978. $45.00) Useful suggestions for coping with the gundering principle in taking an essay test, says Gross. It is note how much credit the prof has assigned to each question. This gives you idea of the depth and length required for your answer.
The next step is to plan
your answer quickly and efficiently. On a scratch pad or on the back page of your blue book, jot down the important points you want to make and quickly number them. Decide in order that each point smoothly follows the one before it.
Finally, neatness DOES count. Bring at least two pens in good working order, and block print if your handwriting is less than acceptable.

Writing letters can help you develop your creativity. A professor, says Professor Robert Jack, director of the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference, held at McGraw-Hill Debriefery College in Vermont.
Good personal letters are honest, detailed, humorous, and reveal the human experience. They Pack. Though letter writers ramble, they tend to follow rules that is pleasant to read.
The relaxed form that letter writing usually follows allows the writer to pursue his own ideas and proves his writing by helping him master the technique of using narration, people, and scenes to tell a simple language. Pack says.
Letters are an excellent exercise in expression. Write your own letter to the writer always thinks of the reader. That is the 1 rule of reading.

Even if your last three jobs were in the fast-food industry, you can look good on a resume. The key to writing an effective resume, say career expert, is to use words that are beautiful.
