Olympics seek new drug plan
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The International Olympic Committee plans to use scientific training as a positive approach with athletes who use drugs instead of punishing them for breaking the rules, an IOC official said Wednesday.
Prince Alexandre de Merode of Belgium said he foresaw athletes, coaches and trainers comparing video tape of athletes on drugs in competition with those of athletes using a method combining biomechanics with sports physiology
"People will see it is something new and good and will have no hesitation about choice," said de Merde, president of the IOC Medical Commission, "I don't believe we would have any opposition because it is all positive. The new training would also have the sanctions of the IOC Medical Committee."
He said that use of drugs such as anabolic steroids, testosterone and amphetamines had grown to a serious problem and that trainers, physicians and leaders of sports clubs may be responsible for drug use among athletes.
"If we can prove it, we will take action against those other people who are responsible." de Merode said as he toured the Biomechanics Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University "Athletes are not always responsible."
He said the new scientific training was expensive but necessary.

Jayhawks split games as two pitchers debut
By CHRIS LAZZARING Associate Sports Editor
The Kansas baseball team's two top freshman pitchers both pitched well in their collegiate openers, but only one came away. The Reds played a double-header against Missouri Southern.
The Jayhawks won the first game 2-1 behind a two-hitter by right-hand Scott LaRue, a senior fielder hitter Stanfield went 34-0 with 58 points. Catcher Rob Thomson was 0-4 with one RBI.
Dennis Shanks threw a three-hitter for Missouri Southern, but was still tagged with the loss. His record is now 1-2. Missouri Southern center fielder Kevin Marsh accounted for his team's only run with a solo home run in the second inning.
Missouri Southern took the second of the two seven-inning games 7-6 with a three-run seventh inning. The last-inning loss was Houston's 8-6, right hander Paul Henry took the loss for KT.
KANSAS HEAD COACH Marty Pattin said after the double-header that he was encouraged by the performance of the freshmen and they would be counted on to do well this season.
"I was just really pleased with the pitchers," Pattin said. "I thought they showed a lot of poise. It is too bad things didn't work out for Paul in his first college game, but a double play and we were out of that (seventh) innings.
"I am very proud of both of them. We need those young kids to come in and pitch well for us. It will be a good confidence builder for them."
Southern added two more runs in the top of the second with two walks and a double. The bottom of the second was KU's offensive play of the day with three runs to tie the game.
Missouri Southern opened up the second game with a one-run first inning. Kansas got two men on base in the bottom of the first, but failed to score.
LEFT FIELDER TODD Schweigert opened up the bottom of the second with a walk. Designated hitter Rob Peters reached first on a fielder's choice that took Schweigert off the bases at second. Shortstop Gary Lang then did the same thing Petels did, reaching first on a fielder's choice that took the lead runner out.
Missouri Southern went down after three batters in the top of the third. KU went to work again in the bottom of the third, scoring runs and keeping the leaf until the last inning.
With Lang at first, second baseman Chuck Christenson singled, putting two men on the bases for KU. Stanfield then hit a three-run home run over the left field fence.
The inning ended on a Thomson strike out after right fielder John Hart reached first on a base.
THIRD BASEMAN JOHN Glenn opened the inning with a single. First baseman Dan Christie hit a pop-up to shortstop and KU had one out. Schweitzer then nailed a two-run shot by the sharks ahead 5-3. KU had two more singles but failed to score again in the inning.
Missouri Southern got one run in the fourth and KU got one in the sixth, making the score 3-0.
Southern then struck for three runs in the

last inning, which was riddled with KU errors.
Stanfield left the game after three innings with a cramp in his hamstring. He finished off the KU third inning with a ground out to the second baseman, but immediately after
he reached first base on the play he fell to the ground.
Pattin said the injury was a cramp that would not go away, probably caused by the cold weather.

25 patient, lucky students get Big 8 tourney tickets
By MIKE SNIDER Sports Writer
Many KU students have become veterans at camping in line to wait for basketball tickets, and Allen Field House has become kind of a second home for them.
Before the Oklahoma game, assistant athletic director Floyd Temple and head coach Larry Brown opened the field house for some of the earlier campers, feeding them pizza and Coke for a late snack and bringing their coffee and doughnuts for breakfast.
But Tuesday night, the students in the field house were on their own.
About 20 students spent a cold evening on the hard floor outside of the field house ticket office. But it was well worth the wait, most of the students said.
FOR THEIR EFFORTS, the students paid $22 and received lower-level, court-side tickets to the Big Eight Conference Tournament at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., this weekend. During Tuesday night's game against Nebraska, it was announced
that 25 student tickets would go on sale at 8 a.m. yesterday.
Oklahoma plays Missouri at 7:10 p.m.
Friday, and KU plays Iowa State at 9:30 p.m.
that night.
They may have been cold and uncomfortable sitting on the hard floor, but the students in line didn't go hungry. Tim Rosewicz, shawnee teenager, said that the class of some money together, bought about 50 hamburgers from Hardee's and had a little party.
Rosewicz and four others, including his twin brother, Tom, secured positions outside the office immediately after the KU-Nebraska game, which ended at just before 11 p.m.
TICKET MANAGER TERRY Johnson opened the ticket office at 7:30 a.m. yesterday and promptly sold 21 of the tickets. He sold the remaining 4 tickets before 8 a.m.
Johnson said the conference saved four sections of lower-level seating for the four teams that win their first-round games in the tournament.
Crew teams get new 'boathouse'
Sports Writer
By SUE KONNIK Sports Writer
The old warehouse sags from a deadly disease - neglect.
But, if the KU crew team gets its wish, the warehouse may come back to life.
An empty warehouse at 6th and New York Streets is the new home for the boats, weights and equipment of the men's and women's crew teams — at least for three months.
"We get the use of it free for three months, and hopefully if we fix it up, we can keep it." Jan Lischer, novice crew member, said yesterday.
Stephen Hill, owner of the warehouse, is allowing the six crew teams free use of his warehouse for the remainder of the spring season. The teams want to have permanent use of the building, but Libby Elliot, novice women's coach, said the club would probably have to purchase the warehouse if it expected to continue using it.
BEFORE OBTAINING PERMISSION for the use of the warehouse, the crew teams used a fenced-in area at Burcham Park at 3rd and Louisiana Streets to house the boats. There was no protection for the boats from the boats as the boats suffered as a result, Elliot said.
Jenny Zoller, varsity woman rower, said that although the warehouse was not a real store, she worked there.
YESTERDAY WAS THE teams' first real practice on the river. They are preparing for the heart of Texas Regatta on March 17 in Austin, Texas.
The boats left their new nest for the first time this week, as the warm weather began to cool.
"This is the first time we've had anything we could call a boathouse," she said. "It may be dirty, but I think it's beautiful."
The women practiced on the water Monday, but it was very choppy and they barely made it back into the dock, Elliot said.
The six crew teams, the varsity men and varsity women, the novice men and novice women, and the men's light and heavy teams travel to Texas to compete in the annual event.
The teams will leave. March 10 and will spend the week preparing for the regatta. Practices will be held twice a day Monday through Friday.
"We get a lot out of spring break," Elliot said "It's amazing how much the teams improve by the end of the week."
