from Fullerton College in California had been changed from F'd to D's the Times said.
NCAA rules acknowledge the freedom of professors to alter grades, as long as all course requirements are met. The Times said Gardner's class requirements were completed.
THIS MORNING's story was the fourth in a five-part series. The final installment, which will be tomorrow, is expected to focus on the University of Kansas.
The Kansas reported Tuesday that the Times' story about KU might involve recruiting violations, financial inducements including money, cars, homes and jobs given to athletes and their families or alterations of athletes' grades.
At the Wichita State press conference, Smithson said that allegations and rumors of athletic programs breaking NCAA rules were common,
"These kinds of things, allegations and this type of thing, have surfaced in every type of program," he said. You hear rumors about the Oklahoma University, Notre Dame, Oklahoma—everybody."
MITHSON SAID former players had asked coaches for money but had been turned down. The Times had reported that Auguster Jackson, Tyrone Augubrs, Lawrence Howell and Ray Williams all accepted money, clothing or airline tickets from coaches and fans. The players also told the Times that money was handed out at a thrown by boosters of the athletic program.
The alleged violations at Wichita State have failed to stir a commotion in the athletic world, according to Marv Harsman, the basketball coach at the University of Washington and
president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
"I can't cast asperations at anyone," Harrison said, "but if you had pulled the coaches the last four or five years, one of the schools that were breaking all the rules" was Wichita State.
recruiting and the possibility of a point-shaving scandal were major topics of discussion at the college basketball coaches' convention last March.
"I am not surprised. I don't think unless you want to be an ostrich, that you can believe—if you have been around sport—that some things haven't been coined on."
HARSHMAN, WHO is in his 36th year as a college basketball coach, that illegal
Harsman, because of medico team, has been criticized in recent years that he does not recruit shrewdly or aggressively enough. Supporters of Harsman is a victim of his own honesty in recruiting.
"As one of the coaches in the business and particularly now as president of the coaches, I'm kind of like the guy in the glass house," he said. "I hesitate to throw any stones.

by the state Regents but the sentiment among them was to exclude Wasburn.
"If I took a straw poll right now," Franklin said. "I would probabilbly find a negative feeling."
"We pretty much feel that there is no need for another liberal arts school like Washburn in the system, especially with KU and Emporia State so close."
FRANTKLIN SAID that even if the Regents wanted to increase significantly raised, the finances still would be tight.
"We are still going to be competing for the same dollar, and if Washburn were added, we could get less of a percentage on that dollar," he said.
Bunten said that although he would not draft a bill to make Washburn a part of KU, he still would initiate legislation putting Washburn in the state system.
Bunten said he had encountered strong opposition to his idea of making Washburn a part of KU.
HE SAID WASHBURN alumni were very much against such a move and that KU administrators were not entirely supportive of the plan.
Any plan bringing Washburn into the system, Bunten said, would be detailed and could take several years to complete. He said he would have done it by October 2016 with the Shawnee County legislative delegation.
"I have asked that the draft be changed because of sentiment it has aroused," Bunten said. "In the new draft, Washburn would become part of the state system by July 1, 1983."
Bunten said that he would discuss the difficulties of such a bill tonight in the public meeting. The Shawnee County delegation and the state delegation will meet and the meeting, which will be open to the public.

Lecompton historian pushes to get turnpike interchange
Staff Reporter
Efforts in the Kansas Senate to obtain a turnip interchange for Lecompot could mean fresh commercial blood or a community now under attack, according to Charles Wright, Lecompot historian.
Wright, former State Rep. John Vogel and Lawrence City Manager Buford Watson just completed testimony before a Senate committee concerning the interchange* feasibility. An $80,000 appropriation to study the problem was left out of Gov. John Carlin's 1982 budget, and Wright is urging the Legislature to restore the money.
"Now we have the renovation all done, and we don't have any way for tourists to get to it."
"We live up here in the hills, nobody can get to us, and nobody knows where we are," Wright said of Locompton, located on the Kanaas River 6 miles northwest of Lawrence.
Wright said the city had just finished renovation of Lane University, one of Kansas' first liberal arts institutions. David Eisenhower, father of President D. Eisenhower, attended Lane and was married there, Wright said.
If the Legislature approves, Wright said, the interchange will be built where County Route 1029 goes under at the turnpike. Lawrence-bound turnpike travels now exit at Lawrence or
Topeka and use a "maze" of county routes to reach the city.
"People just don't now how to get here that way." Wright said. "A turnpike interchange would mean that they could go to or from here and then pass through the lands, Leptompson is not a very accessible place."
Vogel, a member of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's Highway and Roads Committee, said the interchange would remove from Lawrence some of the dense summer traffic to nearby Clinton Lake, as well as increase accessibility to southwest Lawrence.
"All the studies that have been done indicate that Lawrence is going to expand that way," he
A Lecompton interchange would increase the amount of turniple traffic bound for the lake, he said. Clinton Lake is three miles southwest of Lawrence.
Now, Vogel said, lake-bound turnip traffic must exit at Lawrence or Topeka, which increases the traffic burden on already overworked Highwav 40.
"When people exit at Lawrence, there's a lot of boats and campers on Sixth Street," he said.
A Leccompton interchange would help change that.
"We expect a million tourists to visit this year," Vogel said. "There will be an increased traffic load on Highway 40 running through Lawrence if the interchange is not built."
El Dorado and Mulvane, two Wichita-area cities, are also being considered for interchanges in the $80,000 feasibility study. Each interchange should cost approximately $1.5 million.
