An apology at the beginning of the speech and upward infections at the ends of sentences may tell the audience I'm doing. Sound authoritative; you were asked to speak because your opinion is valuable. Before you speak, listen carefully to what Carl Sandburg (for example—aloud, Pull from your soul the outrage that he expresses on the page. This lowers a screwy voice and sounds you sound confusing.
Between the soapbox speech and the opera solo lies a wide variety of ways to communicate, the human voice.
"You really have to know your material before you get up and do it," says McLean. "You practice until your material becomes second nature."
McLean says that any type of speaker can make his audience feel excitement by changing the volume, tone, or tempo of his voice. He uses this technique to get listeners to focus attention when the dance patterns become more complex.
"You put excitement and enthusiasm in your voice so the dancers can actually feel it," McLean says.

Cooper says that many accem problems come from using the voice incorrectly.

Charles J. Stewart tests his students at Purdue University by letting them ask him the questions. Stewart co-author of Interviewing; Principles and Practices (William C. Brown Co. 1978, 8.5) teaches an interview course to those who may need to use interviewing techniques on the job and in their daily lives.
The employer interview is stressed because most of the students hope to be employers. Stewart says. Computer science majors want to be technical managers and restaurant or retailing majors want to know how to operate a restaurant. This is also valuable to the student who wants to know what an employer looks for in an applicant.
The students learn to listen closely to implied as well as spoken responses from their peers and use verbal techniques that glean information from an interviewer. For example, a question like "Can you tell us what made you good for gaining background, while a question that asks 'who' or 'may draw up more details.' (For more interviews, see page 20).
Last-Minute PANIC Relief
In order to relax before going in front of an audience, speech expert Robert Ambler recommends physical activity to burn off excess nervous energy. Breathing exercises also helps to calm you.

New KUAC ticket proposal could triple student prices
By REBECCA CHANEY Staff Reporter
Student ticket prices for football and basketball games could as much as triple next year if recommendations made by the KU information board ticket committee are approved
The KUAC board will meet at 3:30 p.m. in the Satellite Union to consider the recommendations. It also will consider proposals to move a KU-MU football game to Arrowhead Stadium or sell beer in Memorial Stadium who will decide whether KU women's teams will join the NCAA.
Steve Leben, KUAC student board member,
said that ticket pricing in past years had been settled at board meetings to keep student ticket prices as low as possible.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS of the ticket committee would allow the board to set policy regarding pricing and let the athletic department work out specific costs.
The committee also has proposed a policy for the board to adopt requiring students to pay half the public price for both football and basketball tickets.
Leben said the proposed pricing policy was unjustified and drastic. Based on this year's public prices, $19 student tickets would cost $31 for a seven-game football season and $15 student tickets would cost $38.50 for a 14-game basketball season.
BASED ON NEXT year's prices, which have not been set officially, student tickets could cost $36 for football and $42 for basketball, Leben said.
He said that he had met with athletic officials and student board members and that a compromise could be worked out before the board met this afternoon.
The ticket policy committee, headed by David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, will meet at 2:30 p.m. today, before the board meeting, to finalize its recommendations.
Lieber said that he met with Bob Marcum, athletic director, yesterday, and that the two had
agreed to recommend to the committee at the 2:30 meeting that student football tickets be based on one-third the public cost rather than one-half.
"That would mean tickets cost about $25." Lakers season ticket that is out of line for the league. Lakers have earned $22 wo
AMBLER SAID the recommendations would be thoroughly discussed at both meetings today before any decision was made.

If adopted, the policy could be put into effect gradually over the next few years. Leben said.
"But phasing it in doesn't change the problem," he said. "It only lengthens the pain. Let's not accept something we don't think is fair and we're not going to take effect for two or three years."
He also said he believed some of the information used to back up the committee's recommendation was "unintentionally" misleading.
Leben said the information did not include student contributions to women's athletics and distorted declining percentages of student contributions to the total athletic department budget.
"When you talk about increases, students have to bear their fair share of the load," he said. "But a major reason that student income has declined is that we've paid off our debt that we agreed to finance (the east stadium addition of a 7,000-seat student section). Lo and behold, revenues did decrease, but they were supposed to."
He also said private contributions had increased to more than $1 million a year.
KU STUDENT FUNDING for athletics is comparable to other schools in the Big Eight League.
DOUBLE SAID:
"The athletic department is in a difficult financial situation," he said. "It is not a desperate situation, but it is serious."
Significant increases in funding of women's athletics have to be made, he said. Also, KU's football and basketball recruiting budgets are second to lowest in the Big Eight, and the capital improvements budget is the lowest in the Big Eight.

Kansan spurs Senate debate
The Senate approved the Finance and Auditing Committee's recommendations for seven of 13 districts.
It also deferred a decision on the recommendation to remove the School of Architecture and Urban Design Student Council from the code until tomorrow's meeting. Six remaining recommendations be considered Thursday before a final vote is taken on the entire recommendations bill.
at the Senate approve the bill, it will ask Acting Chancellor Del Shanker to increase the $11.10 activity fee to $14.52.
Terri Fry, Kansan business manager,
defended the fee increase before the Senate.
Fry also answered questions from Steve McMurry, Transportation Board chairman, concerning the Kansan's cash carry-forward account.
"We've done things in an effort to keep even with rising costs," Fry said, "but if we raise our rates to our advertisers any more, we'll no longer be competitive."
three student senators voiced opposition to the Kansan's request. The Kansan receives $73,260 and requested its total allocation be included in $890,080. The Kansan now receives $2 from the activity fee.
"The Kanas is a half-a-million-dollar business." Fry said. "Our costs vary from month to month. Cash carry-forward is to maintain our costs."
