Football ticket cost increases
By Erin Thompson

The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation decided unanimously yesterday to raise football ticket prices for the 1998 season.
Single-game reserved tickets will increase from $26 to $28, and general admission tickets will increase from $16 to $20.
Ticket sales will be geared toward more season tickets and fewer single-game tickets. The combined price of single game tickets for all home games would be $174 compared to $157 for a season ticket
"We are going to make a big push on the basis of Terry Allen and the improvements on the stadium," Bob Frederick, athletics director, said.
Students who buy the Sports Combo, which includes tickets
to all home football games and potentially all men's basketball games, will not increase. Students buying only football season tickets will see a $1 increase because the Kansas State game is in Lawrence next year.
The way in which K-State tickets are sold also will change.
In previous years, a ticket to another game had to be purchased in addition to the K-State game. Next year, the price of a K-State ticket will be $40 unless a ticket to another game is purchased. Then the price would drop to $35.
Single-game tickets will go on sale May 11. Tickets for the K-State game can be purchased on that date but only with a ticket for another game. Students will not be able to purchase K-State tickets without buying a ticket for another game until Aug. 3. Other business from yesterday's meeting:
Memorial Stadium renovations are two weeks ahead of schedule. The projected finish date is Aug. 7.
The 4,000 pounds of concrete being removed from the stadium are being recycled.
The Volleyball Search Committee interviewed three candidates during the past two weeks to replace coach Karen Schonewise, whose contract was not renewed after last season. A new coach is expected to be appointed by the end of the week.
The Williams Fund had raised $1,872,000 by the end of December.
Kansas received an additional $500,000 because two Big 12 football teams — K-State and Nebraska — played in Alliance Bowls this fall.

Quisenberry finds joy in simple things following surgery
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dan Quisenberry says he has discovered an incredible peace since undergoing surgery for a malignant brain tumor and now finds joy in the simplest sights and sounds.
"Sometimes it's just seeing a little boy on a bicycle. Sometimes it's the taste of water. It's hard to explain," he said.
Quisenberry, 44, who led the major league in saves between 1979 and 1985, spoke for 15 minutes during his first conference since his operation.
On Jan 8, doctors removed 85 percent of an astrocytoma grade IV tumor, and Quisenberry started a series of radiation treatments.
Quisenberry spoke of Dick Howser, the aggressive Royals' manager in 1985 who had a malignant brain tumor.
"He was this mellow man and saying, 'Don't worry about this stuff on the field. Do your best because winning and losing takes care of itself.' Now, here I am, and I understand what he was saying."
