KU Women In Sports
(Editor's note) This is the first weekly column in which I have written in both intramural and varus.)
By Dolores Orman
With women's intramural beginning in earnest next week, some basic rule changes in basketball should be clarified.
One major rule change concerns a "roving player." Mary Mulvaney, assistant professor of physical education and Womens Recreation Association (WRA) sponsor, explained that the tife rule is actually a year old but did not go into effect last year at KU because of the KU women's basketball schedule and the problem of training officials. She explained that the greatest difficulty concerns officiating.
IN THE PAST, the rules of women's basketball did not allow any player to cover the full floor. (The three guards remained at one end of the court and the three forwards on the other.) The new "rowing player" rule allows one guard and one forward to move anywhere on the court. They may trade off with a stationary guard or forward at any time during the game without official notice. As a result the official has to be certain that no more than eight players are at one end of the court and four at the other.
The Women's Recreation Association sponsors the first tennis singles. Sept. 30; the badminton singles tournament, Tuesday, Oct. 1, and round robin basketball tournament, Oct. 1 and 2.
Because of this major rule change Prof. Mulvaney suggested that each basketball team schedule at least one practice in Robinson Gymnasium. The women's gymnasium at Robinson can be scheduled for practice Monday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Have Question Try Watson
Just ask us a question—any question at all and we'll find the answer, or try to find the source of the answer, boasts Watson's reference library.
"Where can I find French books on American or English literature?" "How can I find some of the speeches made by Senator Lane in Kansas in the 1860's?"
According to George H. Caldwell, director of the reference library, such questions as these number over 8,000 every year."
HOW DO THE librarians answer the variety of unusual questions asked at the reference desk of Watson every day? The answer, Caldwell says, is easier than it sounds.
"We have many sources of information that most people do not know about. We try to help all students and faculty find what they need," he said.
Reference material ranges from encyclopedias written in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Russian to telephone directories from all Kansas towns and many larger cities across the nation.
"ONE OF OUR biggest programs." Caldwell said, "is aiding students working on term papers or theses, and faculty members doing research through our inter-library loan system. We total over $6,000 inter-library loans every year, a number comparable to those handled by Cornell University."
"If we do not have a book that someone needs for a project," Caldwell explained, "we can borrow it from another library."
OTHER AIDS to finding the wealth of knowledge available in Watson Library itself are dozens of pamphlets on almost any subject, bibliographies, periodical indexes, statistical reports, almanacs, and dictionaryes, and catalogs of other colleges.
Cards for the master card catalog have been made from the list of micro-films and micro-cards owned by the library and available for student use.
ANOTHER NEW rule, making women's basketball similar to the men's version, concerns the free throw. The ball is declared in play if a free throw is missed. Formerly in women's basketball after a free throw was missed, the ball was taken to the center for the toss.
Also, according to new rules, each player must take her own free throw. For example, in the past if a guard was fouled the forward on his team took the free throw at the other end of the court. Now, with the new rule, the fouled guard must take her own free throw.
Eight WRA members and two faculty members will attend the Kansas Athletic and Recreation Federation of College Women September 28 and 29 at Camp Webster near Fort Hays College.
