athletes based on the record we have here," he said. "I think we do as well as anyone nationally."
The athletic department supplies tutors, study halls and academic counseling to assist the athletes' progress is monitored by assistant coaches and the head coach of each sport.

Hunter and KU football player E.J. Jone-
both said they thought the athletic department
was doing enough to ensure that they made
sure they were enrolled in enough
hours to be eligible.
Hunter said he — not the athletic department — was to blame for his eligibility problem this week.
"Everything they did for me was adequate, and they made it clear to me about the hours," he said.

"The study halls and the tutors are there, you just have to use them."
Jones said, "The department does a good job.
If you need a tutor, all you have to do is ask."
Although athletic department officials and

coaches say they are satisfied with what is being done to ensure that athletes make grades and satisfy hour requirements, they agree that improvements can be made.

academic ineligibility, saying that special time demands on athletes make it difficult to be a student.
Rose, who took over the job as assistant athletic director in July, said he couldn't say whether there was a trend towards more eligibility problems at KU in recent semesters.
He also said he didn't know how KU compared to other schools in the country, of invaluable athletics.
HOWEVER, HE SAID, he has several ideas cutting down on the number of ineligible athletes.
"That way we could provide support that is more tailored to the athlete," he said.
Rose said he would like to see the athletic department identify athletes' academic weaknesses.
Rose also wants to develop a program to show athletes how their academic skills can help them in the future, after receiving their degrees.
Memorial
continued from p.1
THE STUDENT WHOSE design is selected for construction will receive a $250 award; second place, $100; and third place. $50.
But according to the rules of the contest, the design committee has no obligation to select one of them.
Fidier said he thought the only reason the design committee would not select one of the proposals would be failure to follow the contest's instructions.
Designs had to include a detailed illustration of the fountain memorial, an explanation of the proposal and a general budget breakdown of anticipated costs. Feller said.
Ashner said that since last fall the estimated cost of the memorial had increased from $20,000
THE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE already has pledges of $15,000: $10,000 from the Student Senate and $5,000 from living groups, students and alumni, she said.
Ashner said that last fall she had asked the
Association of University Residence Halls to donate $1 for each student who lived in the halls.
Stefanie Sanders, Prairie Village sophomore and vice president of AURH, said the association had pledged $2.216 from its budget, which would fund students for each student who lived in a residence hall.
AURH asked hall governments to donate the other half of Ashner's request. Sanders said.
Ashner said the memorial committee was also in the process of seeking permission to raise funds off campus. Any off-campus soliciting requires permission from the chancellor's office.
Ideas included placing donation cans in Lawrence stores, asking for donations from alumni and approaching community groups, she said.
The Vietnam Memorial will be the fourth war memorial on campus. The Kansas Union and Memorial Stadium are dedicated to 119 students who died in World War I. The Memorial Campanile is dedicated to students who died in World War II.
Bill would ease cash-flow problems for schools by easing payment plan
By United Press International
TOPEKA — Hoping to ease a serious cash-flow problem, a Senate panel yesterday approved a bill to relax the state's timetable for distributing payments to local school districts.
Although the measure would add $800,000 in earned interest income to state coffers this fiscal year and up to $6 million in fiscal 1985, school expenditure has declined by about $2 million in earned interest this year and $2.4 million next year.
The Senate Ways and Mcans Committee approved the bill unanimously. The full Senate is voting on the bill.
The bill, which was endorsed by Gov. John Carlin during his State of the State address last week, would give the state some leeway in when he could grant a tax to students under the School District Equalization Act,
including money for transportation aid and income tax refunds.
INSTEAD OF REQUIRING the huge payments under School District Equalization Aid to be made by the 20th day each month, the state could have through the end of each month to make the payment. On transportation aid, the state would pay for every year you would be split into four smaller payments.
On income tax rebates, the state would make seven payments a year instead of the three currently required. The result would be to space out the payments so they more closely matched the receipt of state taxes in revenues and to make payments to Lynn Muchmore, budget director, told the Senate panel.
Reagan
Muchmore said passage of the legislation would "add flexibility to the law ... to avoid this crunch we get because of our scheduled receipt patterns."
continued from p.1
Labeling 1984 "a year of opportunities for peace." Reagan said the two superpowers must look beyond their fundamental ideological differences and remember that we do have common interests.
"Forensm among them is to avoid war and reduce the level of arms," he said.
"The fact that neither of us like's the other's system is no reason to refuse to talk. Living in this nuclear age makes it imperative that we talk," he said.
THE SOVIET NEWS agency Novosti labeled Reagan's call for better relations with the Soviet Union a "pseudo-peaceable tirade" aimed at gaining him another term in the White House.
"Washington's foreign policy propaganda has been undergoing a truly remarkable metamorphosis of late," Novosti said. "The pointedly bellicose speeches of White House officials are giving way to equally pointed peace-loving phraseology."
But White House spokesman Larry Speakes said. "The president has made a serious speech, and we would hope to have a serious response. We propose to wait and see what the Soviet government has to say rather than listen to some of the statements made in the Soviet press."
Lawmakers generally reacted favorably to the address, but Democratic presidential aspirant Walter Mondale accused Reagan of "trying to undermine the politics of a problem instead of the problem itself."
"THE PROBLEM FACING our nation and the world is that President Reagan's policies have contributed to an increasingly dangerous arms race." he said.
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, another presidential contender, said Reagan "has apparently decided that some of his harsh and provocative rhetoric of the past was excessive."
But he said it is "dangerous to swing wildly between confrontation and conciliation — between calling the Soviet Union an evil empire and talking about constructive cooperation."
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Charles Percy, R-Ill., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, praised Reagan for "deciding to move toward a more constructive dialogue with the Soviet Union."
"He extended the olivic branch. Let's see if they'll take it," said Serr. Ornir Ratch, H-Utall.
