HARISHAH SAID that even if the allegations were true, an investigation would not necessarily follow.
"I don't think the NCAA could employ enough investigators to ever put a stop to this sort of thing."
David Berat, director of enforcement for the police said he could not say whether KU would be involved.
"I will not comment directly on the case,"
"I first said. "I I'm trying to keep my name out of
the case."
BERST SAID the allegations concerning academic standards were not a violation of NCAA regulations if they were within the academic freedom of professors.
"There are regulations which the NCAA enforces in regard to academics, but these relate to normal academic progress and sufficient academic standing to maintain eligibility," he said. The regulation is that athletes meet the standards and requirements of the institution he attends."
Gaudt said that allegations concerning academics were not an academic issue institutional on its own.
"It seems to me that if an institution was suspected of having someone in a department changing grades and that was general to the administration would do something."
Harsman said he was not sure that even the administration could do anything about the problem.
"I DON'T THINK that would be anything the I DON'T THINK that would do," he said, "even if the allegations were true."
"It really no different than in fraternities and sororites, where word always gets around to take 'soo-and-soo,' Harshman said. "Everyone gets graded easier in such classes."
"Athletes may give lip service to academics, but many of them think, 'I'm here to make a name for myself, get draw and go pro.'"
"Some major universities do so to any major school where some of this doesn't go on."
HARSHMAN SAID coaches may not even be able to control such situations.
Shankel said he knew of no administrative action being taken concerning the Times'
"Any student could do the things listed in the article," he said. "We will review some of these policies to assure that every student has a guarantee of a good quality education."

He said before the bill came up for a hearing, he would work hard to get the group's support.

but has not obtained approval.
If motorcyclists followed the intent of the law, *Sullivan* said, "most would opt for the battery."
"The windows don't have a very good size. Tim Monahan, St. Louis sophomore, said. "The wind is really drafty. I turn up the blind slats at night and it really helps."
to cover those costs, O'Sullivan said, the hospital has to pick up the costs, and indirectly, automobile drivers pay higher premiums.
A McColum Hall resident suggested turning the venetian blind slats up to keep out the drafts.
Dave B. Lewis, Evanston, ill., senior and an Ellsworth resident, said that when his windows were broken he would

yesterday, "we are going to start getting a battle plan that it does not go any further than it already has."
The KU chapter of SPJ, SDX will work with Davis Merritt, editor of the Wichita Eagle-Beacon and the faculty of the KU William Allen White School of Journalism, Currie said.
Lowher proposed the bill because the Kansas Association of School Boards complained that the present open meetings law hampered local boards' contract negotiations with teachers.
At last month's hearings, opponents of the bill suggested that the change that the school boards wanted could be made in the state negotiations law instead of the open meetings law.
Before Monday's vote, Lowther gave each committee member a memorandum that said he had changed his mind and would accept another method of solving the problem.
The committee ignored that suggestion, however.
John Kopeke, KASB assistant executive director, said there was a general agreement among the school boards association, the Kansas-National Education Association and lawmakers not to change the state negotiation law this year.
He said the school boards association's other request, to be allowed to close meetings to discuss property, could not be handled by changing the negotiations law.

Earl Silvers, supervisor of the Street Department, reminded motorists that 10th, 11th, 12th and 14th streets were closed from Tennessee Street to the ton of Mt. Oread.
Silvers also offered one bit of cryptic advice for motorists.
Lawrence Police said all roads were generally hazardous. East-west roads were drifting shut as of last night, while north-south routes were passable.
A Kansas Highway Patrol official said Kansas Highway 10 was drifting and hazardous while Interstate 70 was passable. The Kansas turpike between Kansas City and Lawrence was snowpacked in areas, and traffic was restricted to one lane each way.
Stiff winds, from 25 to over 40 mph, reduced visibility at many points to only a few car lengths. The Kansas Turnpike authority advised motorists to start early and drive slowly.
A travelers advisory remains in effect statewide.
The Kansas death toll from the winter storm rose to four as bitter northerly winds whipped snow into huge drifts and drove the wind chill index down to 45 below zero in some parts of the
Only a few minor car accidents were reported in Douglas County, according to the Sheriff's department. Lawrence Memorial Hospital had two accidents out of a fall. Watkins Hospital reported no accidents.
The latest storm victims, an Iowa man and his wife, were injured in a collision five miles south of Fairview when their car was sandwiched between two tractor-trailer rigs.
The storm forced few school cancellations in the local area. Tonganoxie and Eudora are the only schools closed today. All others remain open.
University classes were held yesterday be
cause the weather was not severe enough to cancel them, according to Acting Chancellor Del Shankel.
"We've seen much more storms and gone ahead and held classes." he said.
The weather forecast and potential danger are factors in the decision to cancel classes, Shankar et al.
"We also look to see whether it's possible to get to campus," Shankel said.
Local weather is expected to improve, according to the KU Weather Service.
1 oay will have partly to mostly sunny skies with westerly winds diminishing to 8 to 15 miles per hour. The afternoon high will be around 15 degrees with tonight's low around 0 to 5 above. Thursday will be sunny and much warmer with highs around the low 30's.
Lawrence received three and one-half inches of snow Monday night and Tuesday. Snowfall amounts from the storm's onset Monday until midday Tuesday ranged from only two to four inches. Large additional accumulations are unlikely.
The storm that swept through Kansas Monday night was part of a weather system that lashed the midlands, unleashing tornadoes and floods on the south, closing schools and clogging highways with drifts and abandoned vehicles. At least 12 deaths were blamed on the snowstorm.
Expected to reach near-blizzard proportions, the storm piled up to 8 inches of snow from Oklahoma and Kansas north into Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. Several more inches were expected in northern states before the storm headed eastward.
Forecasters said the one-two combination of rain and snow that assailed most of the eastern two-thirds of the nation was the result of a single, massive storm system that was still growing, labelled the system the most dangerous and potentially the biggest winter storm of the season.
freeting rain, snow and bitter cold spread from Oklahoma to Nebraska and pushed east to Michigan. Winter storm watches and warnings were in effect from Michigan to New York.
