'Hawks ready for spring game
Kansas football feels pressure as it turns to winning program
Friday, April 23.1993
Kansan sportswriter
Perception is a word in Coach Glen Mason's vocabulary that he likes to use often.
In his five years as the Jayhawks coach, Mason has changed the perception of the Kansas football program by closing program to a winning program.
Mason will get a good indication of what the perception of the 1993 Kansas football team will be in the season. The game, p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
The game is free and open to the public.
"I'm very pleased about spring practice." Mason said. "I think we've made a lot of progress, especially at the quarterback position."
Junior Fredrick Thomas has
emerged this spring as the leading candidate to replace Chip Hilleary, and junior Asheli Preston has developed as a solid No. 2 quarterback.
"I think, at least on paper, that both of them have potentially better running ability than Chip Hilleary," Mason said. "When Fred Thomas throws the ball, just purely throwing the ball, he's got as strong an arm as any guy I've ever around."
Another area that has pleased Mason has been the team's attitude since the conclusion of last season.
"Our whole program has been upbeat since we came back from Hawaii," he said. "We came back feeling real good about that, and that carried over into our winter conditioning program and spring practice."
The 23-20 victory against Brigham Young in the Aloha Bowl ended a three-game losing streak for the Jayhawks and created a positive feeling among the team.
Mason said that the chemistry and work ethic of this Kansas team was better than Kansas teams of the last few years.
hawks because of back-to-back wir ning seasons has helped the tear achieve an improved attitude, sab senior defensive tackle Chris Mau malanga.
The confidence gained by the Jay.
"I see a team that's a lot more cocky," he said. "A team that once on the field has a lot more confidence, which goes with winning."
"Guys aren't afraid to talk a little smack at each other, and when somebody gets popped they're not afraid to get in their face and tell them about
"I firmly believe that either as a player, coach or program, you either get better or get worse," he said. "You never stay the same."
Mason said there was pressure to keep Kansas improving since the perception of Kansas football was changing to a winning program.
Mason said that he enjoyed the pressure of living up to the winning tradition that the Kansas football program had established in the last two years.
"Pressure forces a team to reach a different level of expectations or you fail," he said. "The pressure will be helpful in our situation."

Car buyers should be informed before sale Car purchase includes beware." An independent mechanic car check the car for damage or mechanical problems, and make sure the odometer has not been tampered title registration, tags

Before making the first payment and driving in a new sports car, new buyers should be aware of the responsibilities of owning a vehicle.
"You will probably spend a couple of days calling around," said Michele Kessler, an attorney for Legal Services for Students, which offers free legal advice to KU students.
According to Kessler, a consumer's rights vary if the person buys a new car or used car. New cars purchased in the state of Kansas are guaranteed under the "lemon law," which insures that a new car will not have any major engine problems.
All used cars sold by dealers in Kansas must have a Buyer's Guide, which gives information about the vehicle and the warranty which cover it attached to the window. In addition, the Consumer Protection Act protects the buyer if the dealer misrepresents information.
When purchasing a car from a private individual, Kessler warns, "Let the buyer
The driver's responsibilities include registering the title with the courthouse and purchasing insurance for the vehicle.
The seller must sign and notarize the title for the transaction to be official. "Keep the title of the vehicle in a safe, secure place," said Lt. Mark Brothers, Lawrence Police. Do not put the title in the glove box, in case the vehicle is ever stolen. The car must be registered at the courthouse in 30 days without a penalty fee. License plates will need to be bought or old ones can be transferred within 30 days of the purchase without a penalty.
In addition, all drivers are required to have at least liability insurance, and more comprehensive plans are available. The price of insurance depends on factors such as the car's model, the driver's record, and the types of damage covered by the policy.
D. J. Anderson, an agent for Allstate Insurance, said that each insurance plan was different. "It's like buying a pair of shoes. Each pair fits a person individually."
Further information about owning a consumer protection and vehicle laws is available to KU students through Legal Services for Students at Burge Union.
Honda's Civic - sporty
Ellena offers free stereo with Civic DX new sale
By Kim Bellone and Melissa Pennell Special to the Kansas
The 1993 Honda Civic Coupe is a fun and affordable car to drive.
The Civic Coupe offers two models, the DX and the EX models. The Civic DX Coupe is the standard model, which includes a driver's side air bag. The DX has a 1.5 liter, 102 horsepower, 16-valve engine. The starting price for the DX is $10,930.
The Civic EX Coupe offers every option: power moon roof, power steering and cruise control. Unlike the Civic CX Coupe, the EX offers dual aerobics. The EX has a 1.6 liter, 125 horsepower, 16-valve engine with variable-valve timing. The starting price for the EX is $13,780.
"It's not as much as an expenditure as it is an investment," said Carl Anderson, sales representative for Ellena Honda. "It doesn't break down."
The Civic Coupe has a smooth ride
because of the 4-wheel, double wishbone suspension system. The system uses light, durable upper and lower wishbone links to connect the wheels to the body. This is used to control wheel movement and provide the perfect position for ultimate road holding and control.
We were able to experience how the double wishbone suspension system worked after test driving both the Civic CX and EX models. The interior is plush and spacious, and it gave a comfortable and smooth drive.
Ellena Honda is offering a delayed-payment program for graduating seniors. With this program, payment is deferred for 90 days. The sales representatives are friendly and eager to help. These are some of the ways Ellena Honda makes the best possible deals.
"We'll do everything we can to get you the best interest rate," said Anderson.
We'll do everything we can to get you the best available interest rate," said Anderson. Until the end of May, Ellenna Honda is offering a free stereo with four speakers to all buyers of the DX model with air conditioning.
Both the Civic EX and DX Coupe can be found at Elena Honda, 2097 Four Wheel Dr.
