Bates' Choice of Kansas Ironic
By JIM HOFFMAN
Kansas Staff Photographer
I had the opportunity to
with Michael Bates Sunday
afternoon on the Drake Raftery
Bates, who is 22 and a senior majoring in physical education, graduated from high school and his wife, Marie, and their 4-children. Troy live at Saffer College.
Michael (as he prefers to be called) was born in New Orleans and moved to Sacramento. High. He attended McCain College High and Sacramento City College before completion on a track shipment in 1969.
To break the ice I asked him about his feelings on his performance at Drake the previous week. He did as well as he had expected.
When I arrived at his apartment, he met me at the door and handed me a card. His wife was asleep and his son was playing in the next room. He explained that Sundays were used to relax when he was at home.
From there on the conversation became more relaxed and open. I spent hours about anything and everything, but some of the things he had to say were
"I hadn't banged my knee up that morning and if my arm wilted the other hand would be higher. But right now I'm looking forward to the next meet and the next one."
About his name: "People have been calling me Mike for as long as I can remember. Actually I prefer Michael. I've been trying to get people to change for 22 years but it hasn't done much good."
About his move from New Orleans to Sacramento: "I was pretty scared. I had a real slow pace. I was very conscious about it. I didn't say a thing for at least a year until I had convinced myself that I had done everything for class president and got into sports. Even though I lost the election, I regained my self confidence and I was alight after that."
About politics: "When I was in California I was very active in what was going on out there even before my tenure as a nurse. Then one day my mother took me aside and started me thinking about what was more important. It was right after that when I decided to accept my offer from doctors."
Why Kansas? "After two years at Sacramento City College I had offered it to go to most of the big west coast colleges, but there was trouble at those schools at that time and I wanted to get away from that sort of thing. My choice was ironical. No sooner did I get my job than the same thing started."
About track: "Before I graduate I plan to have the record in the high hurdles. I know that if I get my start corrected I will be a star. The start was so bad in junior college that in one race I started standing
up. The main trouble is that my left leg is too strong to take eight steps to the first hurdle and it is not fast seven. Now from until the fast seven.
end of the season I'll be working on building up the strength in my left leg "
About his future plans: "Right now I'm concentrating on track
SUCH A DEAL!
and graduation. After that I'd like to move to Topeka and teach physical education. I will keep going because I was injured last year I'm a year behind schedule on my training. In other words, I'm running this year like I should have been doing all the time that I haven't reached my peak yet. I'd like to join something like the Mid-America Track Club after I graduate so that I compete on a regular basis."
About his son: "Troy likes to go to the track with me because he likes to see the other guys on the bike and loves going to him into sports. Sports have been good to me but I'm going to let him make that decision himself when he is old enough. The only way I can give him will be academically."
We talked about many other things as well. More things than this article has room for. It was too much, and it was two hours well spent.
DES MOINES, Iowa—Contending with some of the nation's top track talent, the Kansas Jayhawks placed only ten men in the two days of competition at the 62nd annual Kolosya. Included were one first, three seconds and three thirds.
Salb Wins Triple Crown
The lone Kansas win came from shot putter Karl Salb who won his speciality in the university division with a loss of 65-42. The winning heave gave Texas its second all three meets of the Midwest's triple crown (Texas and Kansas in addition to Drake).

Winning, however, is not the primary goal of the Jayhawks' Boh Lockwood. Boh Lockwood. Lockwood said that their dual meet schedule intentionally included several teams from out of the Big Eight. The team's nationally-ranked ability, would be very hard to beat. Exposure to better squads is important, says team improvement.
"We could have scheduled a meeting with us," Lockwood, but this way we see some really good teams, and that will help us in the Big Eight meet

What you should know about diamonds when you know it's for keeps
CUT: the cut of a diamond—the

CLARITY Determined by the absence of small impurities. A perfect diamond has no impurities. The white magnification by a trained eye.
COLOR. Fine white diamonds are quite rare and valued accordingly. Other shades in relative order of brown, blue, yellow, brown and black.
CARAT: A diamond's size is measured in carats. As a diamond increases in size, its price will increase. Diamonds remain constant. But larger diamonds of inferior quality may accumulate less than smaller, perfect diamonds.
You've dreamed about your daughter engaging in a thousand ideas. But know it's for keeps, it's time to stop dreaming and start learning.
Because no two diamonds are exactly alike, jewelers have to determine the relative value of each and every diamond in the world. These standards include a diameter (or weight), color, cut and saturation.
It's important to know, although you certainly don't have to be an expert to keep a Keeper Diary. You should guarantee a diamond of fine white color; correct cut and perfect clarity or replacement assured. The Fashion Authority guarantees
