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 to the Big Eight. Connexion champions, the 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 the road, supporting next month in Norman, Okla.
THE TEAM IS real confident and ready to go, said junior spinner Jirrow 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 Jawahiers to win the Big Eight Championship they would have had to do it without did just that, pulling off a 84-45 victory.
With the big Jayhawk for an audience, Kansas diver Bea Spencer heads for the water during Saturday's dual swim meet with Nebraska at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks defeated the Cornhuskers 85-45.
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." Sphaun 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 Cunningham, who set a record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:54.2
NOT ONLY DID the Jayhawk swims well, but Spaun said that he saw
potential in RU's diving. Nebraska is considered by most coaches to be the Big Elephant 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.
"We best Nebraska twice last year by a wider margin than Saturday's meet and the themed around and won Big Eight Championship," Rowland said.
Sspahn 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.
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 learn.
"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 swimers on this team."
For four years Graves has been a

swimming team, the NCAA champion's
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 h14 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
But the story of Steve Graves goes beyond his accomplishments in the pool, according to Snaeh.
"He'll be a very successful person in what ever he does," Spain said. "He is a very hard worker at whatever he does, and that means that wants to do well in life and will."
Graves, perhaps better than anyone, displays the qualities that make the good student athlete. Competing in a sport that requires 8:30 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 should be believed that he is doing so well."
Graves prefers to shrug off his classroom 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 camp 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 off their guard. KU paid the price, losing $28 million to sixth in the national rankings.
The Jayhawks will have a chance to show renewed respect for their opponents when they meet the Kansas City Chiefs in Allen Field House. The istef is at 7:30.
KU Head Coach Marian Washington was more grateful for the loss than bitter.
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.
"THEER'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 things like this happen for a reason. This might have been just what we needed to push us."
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.
"TM SO LUGD 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

“Our confidence is definitely down,” K-State Head Coach Lacy 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, and 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.

IF THE JAYHAWKS beat K-State
"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'll show the ball and show more intensity. The single most important element is intensity."

SECTION TWO: HOW TO SAY WHAT YOU MEAN
That telephone voice that tells you "your call cannot be completed as dialed" is probably controlled by computer. The same technology may also reproduce your sound, which helps bring the original sounds for thousands of playbacks.

listen directly to computer memory, making his records and tapes obsolete. Using this recording method, there is no perceptible distortion because the sounds stored in computer memory are altered by movements of magnetic tape or record surfaces. Computer memory does not wear out from repeated playings and does not warp or change.
According to a Bell Laboratories spokesman, the process translates sounds from the brain into stored magnetically in computer memory as bytes and zeros (binary bits). Later, on cue the computer sends the original sound vibrations.
In August 1978, record companies began using digital recording to duplicate musical sounds, which they then transferred to records and tapes. Playback equipment now being developed to allow the audible to

A method of teaching deaf children to speak may make it easier for American students to learn a foreign language. We provide vocabulary lists, grammar lessons, and home work.

This method, developed at the University of Florida, has slava been previously used in the United States to improve the listening skills they could learn to speak.
Teaching a deal child to speak is like teaching him a foreign language, says Wayne Kline, language director of the institute, "only it is much more involved
Both foreign language students and the hearing impaired learn to speak the
same way babies do—the hear sounds that match visual situations, and then they repeat the sounds. Students never see written words; hence theyounce the sounds andrhythms of a language They learn the sounds by listening to conversation amplified by a Suvag machine, which filters language into sound waves that transmits the frequencies that the hearing impaired are most sensitive to The Suvag also accentuates the rhythms and intonations of the language so students can accustomed to the patterns.
Once students learn to repeat the vibrations and assenting, they can conceive,仪ations, they can learn to speak. After they learn to speak they can concentrate vocabulary, and reading.
Coming to Your Vocal Rescue
When a recent study compared the importance of words, tone of voice, and body and facial language in human communication, results indicated that 55 percent of meaning is conveyed through body language. 38 percent of tone of voice, 40 percent of actual words, and 27 percent of actual words. In other words, what you say can often matter less than how you say it
Good pitch, pace, and response can make your spoon grip better and impressive. Pitch should be low, according to voice teacher and speech consultant Dorotty Durnyfod. "The key is not to hit it; it is the lower voice that strokes the body," she says. High pitched voices can of course be harder and lacking in authority.
Relaxation is an important factor in pitch control. Speech pathologists suggest checking your pitch level by speaking aloud to someone you are agreeing with someone. Then say "um-hum one um-hum two" if the level of the "um-hum" sounds close to that of the speaker using the correct pitch.
Speed talkers leave a listener lagging far behind and give the impression of being impersonal. Darnoff suggests that you test your pace by reading aloud for amount of five words per minute or the right speed.
Voice-tone focus or resonance is closely related to the pitch of your humming voice with your lips closed. As the sound escapes through the nose, it creates a constant vibrating声
