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 team to Big Eight Conference. Chancellor 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 in championships next month in Norman, Okla.
Much of the reason for Rowland's optimism can be found in the Nebraska match.
"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."
Before the meet, KU Coach Bill Spahn said that for the Jawahri to win the Big Eight Championship they would have to play the Rangers and did just that, pulling off a 68-45 vykoryk.
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 not them a little down."
Leading Kansas was Rowland, who won the 200-meter freestyle and 100 freestyle. Bob Vince, who captured the freestyle and co-captain Steve Grawel, set a pool record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:54.32.
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 Cornshurst 68-45.
NOT ONLY DID the Jayhawks swim well, but Spahn said that he saw
potential in RU's diving. Nebraska is considered by most coaches to be the Big Eight power in diving.
"We really showed improvement in divul," 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 beat Nebraka twice last year by a wider margin than Saturday's meet and they turned around and won Big Eight Championship," Rowland said.
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.
If Nebraska wants things to be different they will have to reckon with Graves because, according to Spahn, the force driving the driver is the drive 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.”
"I have been aware 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 ministry in the KU program. He has also served as the CEO of the organization.
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 national's because it gives me a chance to see different parts of the country," he said. "It's just a lot of fun."
records and is the current conference record-holder in the 200 and 400 individual medleys. He also holds school records from the 1980s and the 200 and 400 individual medley.
But the story of Steve Graves goes beyond his accomplishments in the post-World War II era.
Graves has broken six Big Eight
"He'll be a very successful person in what he ever does," Spahn said. "He is a very hard worker at whatever he does." He said 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'd want to believe 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 campus do well in school also. I don't think that I'm different from anyone else."
Graves said that he was also optimistic at the Jayhawks' chances at the conference championship.
KU women's loss should help against KSU, KU coach savs
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 52-39 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 in Allen Field House. Tipoff is 47:30.
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.
"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 things like this happen for a reason. This might have been just what we needed to push us."
That performance could be easily forgotten with a victory over K-Station teams.
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-
tments.
"IM 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

We're winners and we're not going to allow this to be a negative experience."
The Wildcats would also like to for their bad experience at Drake over weekend. They were easily beaten the Bulldogs, 94-74.
"Our confidence is definitely dow K-State Head Coach Loom Hickey is "We've lost a couple of games that should have won. I think Drake is the best team in the division to K but we shouldn't have got beat bit bad."
Nothing would get the Wildcat confidence back up faster than a w over KU, but that may not be easy.
KU has had the upper hand in bc 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 K on their home court before that loss.

The Anatomy of a Message
Relax; it's only your future. To a vast extent, how well you send and receive such messages determines whether you'll succeed in school, on the job, and even in your personal life.
Help is on the way, however. On the following pages you'll find a variety of techniques for getting the static out of your communication system. But first some facts about the subtle mix of words and signs that makes that system run.
The Eyes Have It
¢ 1980 by Berke Breathed
All cultures don't use the same signals, however. Latin Americans and Middle Easterners have longer times' than Asians and Europeans have shorter ones. North African Tauregs search each other's eyes avidly as they watch others' times' than the Japanese contact little attention.
Ever Notice They Smile More In Austin Than Boston?
It's said the eyes are the window of the soul. They may also let others "read" our emotions, desires, and feelings. Even the time we spend looking at others can impact us. According to Julius Fast, author of *Body Language* of Sex, *Grace*, and *Aggression*, a glance held for less than three seconds signals, "You are another human being. I recognize you as such." If you don't understand her glance for more than three seconds it means, "I am interested in you."
A native Georgian complains that students on his Midwestern campus are uninterested — they never smile and speak. They pass a New England transplanted to a Southern campus who everyone girs all the time. What's one thing you can't do cultural perspective, according to Ray Birdwhistle, one

of the first psychologists to study body language. Americans in the Southeast hold the record for smiling, while children in the region tend to smile the least. Does this mean that Southerners are just inherently friendly? Not necessarily, according to Bird (1975), because a upright upbringing has taught him that a smile denotes hospitality and good manners, while New England kids show police reserve.
Southerners who tend to smile a lot may be viewed with suspicion and hostility in other parts. In the South apologizing without smiling may be seen as insincere behavior, while the country apologizing with a smile is seen as frivolous.
They Learn From Pupils
Some cultures search one another's eye pupils for nonverbal signals, according to anthropologist Edward T. Hall, who has helped train American diplomats for overseas service. In the Midwest, people often use example, people tend to stand about two feet apart instead of the five feet customary to Americans. This way they see the size of each other's pupils, according to Hall, and can use this as an indicator of how the other person responds to orientation. For example, a person's pupils tend to dilate when he's interested and contract upon hearing something he dislikes.
Top Techniques For Technical Writing
After constructing the text of a report, graphs and charts should be included to add validity to study results and break up the monotony of them with tips on how to use them.
for the engineering or science major, producing clear and readable abstracts, lab reports, or project papers and first in creating papers that earn top grades is to consider the audience you're writing for, advises Dr. James Paradis, an associate professor of technical education at the sacuches Institute of Technology. Because so many project reports written on the job will be seen by managerial as well as professional groups, Paradis tells his students to not look for both audiences. An appendix should be included at the back of the report outlining the more technical data; this allows a monochrome print of the body in the body of the text itself.
- Use tables for precise, detailed information, and graphs when it's necessary to have a greater visual impact. You can be more effective when writing for a nontechnical audience.
- Unless you have more than 50 charts in a sequence, insert them in the body of the paper. More than 50 charts, include a separate section.
- Spend some extra time thinking about accurate and complete captions for your presentation.
