"You just assume that everyone is going to abide by the rules. But it only takes one person for it to break down somewhere. You can't live in the city with people to make sure they are towing the mark."
TO OVERCOME THE negative reputation assigned to a school for violations, Brinkman said, KU will have to operate with integrity as he said it had in the past.
"The University's goal will be what it's always been," he said, "and that to conduct an inter-
Brinkman declined to say whether he thought the penalty assessed by the NCAA was fair.
Bob Frederick, director of the Williams Fund,
said, "I think at this point everybody associated
with the University is glad to get the thing behind us.
"Certainly I'm disappointed that there is a probation. But actually we've been on 'probation' for a year or two with what people have been saving."
SUSAN WACHTER, KU athletic department business manager, declined comment on the report.
KU last year received $886,215 from conference bowl and television revenue. Some of
that money came from the Jayhawks' nationally televised game with Kansas State.
KU appeared in a regionally televised game
in Nebraska. KU is to receive
$700,000 from that in the state.
Big Eight Commissioner Carl James said the conference would not impose any added sanctions on KU concerning conference revenue.
"Obviously it's something we don't like to occur," James said from his home last night. "But I have great confidence in the staff of our school and I'm confident, Dr. Brinkman and Coach Mike Gottfried."
"None of these people had anything to do with the sanctions, on I'm sure Kansas looks forward to it."
KU BECAME THE second Regents school in recent years to be placed on probation. Wichita State's basketball team was released last month from a two-year probation.
Jonn montgomery, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, said he had been informed several weeks ago of the expected NCAA decision concerning KU. He was pleased with the steps KU had taken to prevent NCAA infractions in the future.
One of those steps was last year's hiring of
"We have tried to get the message across that we don't support or condone this type of action." Montgomery said. "In both cases the people involved are no longer there."
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Lessig, KU athletic director at the time the investigation began, said he had expected that KU would receive some type of penalty.
HE SAID, HOWEVER, that it was not a reason for his short stay in Lawrence. Lessig left KU to take a job as commissioner of the Mid-American Conference.
Although the penalty will keep KU out of any possible television or bowl appearances next year, Lessig said such a penalty could have a positive effect on the athletic program.
"Sometimes it can work to your advantage"
Lesing said. "Sometimes people rally around
themselves and make a difference."
Big-time athletics at the university level have put a lot of pressure on coaches to win. Lessig said, and because of that, schools need to consider what process to make sure coaches play by the rules.

That grand sigh heard around the University at 5:45 yesterday afternoon was the relief of coaches, players and administrators. In effect, the two-year investigation into KU athletes was itself a slow punishment. Head football coach Mike Golffried often has accused recruiting has been more by the investigation than it would have been by probation.
But punishment may also benefit the both programs because it will cause one to learn more.
Former KU athletic director Jim Lessig last night said that the penalty might cause supporters to rally around the program and in turn make it stronger.
Several years ago the football program at the University of Illinois was punished by the Big Ten conference during a snufc concerning the eligibility of quarterback Dave Wilson but that program led by Coach Mike Kline (and the former owner) for the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2 against UCLA.
THIS SEASON we have seen that the seeds
for a strong football program have been planted during the first year under Götftried
Some will maintain that the scarlet stigma of probation will hinder efforts to build that program by filling the 34 scholarships available. And some will insist that blue chip athletes will bypass a school that cannot appear on television or in a bowl game.
ernards those athletes KU will recruit trudy will be dedicated to building a strong football team.
In addition, an athlete often will meet difficulty breaking into the starting line-up as a freshman. These athletes really have nothing to lose by signing a scholarship to play here. The probation really does not hinder their future.
During the next year, KU probably would not have been considered bound for a bowl or conference championship after losing most of its offensive machine to graduation this year.
A two-year probation doesn't hurt the team's chances for anything.
in some naunting way, a two-year probation may be a great benefit.

the crowd of the happy memories of the past 26 years.
"It was strange," he said. "The class that gave me the violin case was a creditors' rights class. My last class here is a creditors' rights class. There may be a message of some sort."
Michael Davis, dean of the School of Law,
introduced Kelly to the crowd, which had been
building slowly for about 15 minutes.
"Professor Kelly just walked out of our 4,720 and last law school class — as neat as we can
KELLY HAD ALREADY been honored by the school's board of governors and faculty with a testimonial dinner at Alamar Country Club early this month. But the party yesterday was a complete surprise to him.
"I had no idea this was happening," he said after the crowd had subsided. "I should have known. I retired at this time so that I didn't have to teach for another winter. I want to follow the rules."
John Andrews, a local entertainer, seneced him by singing "I'll Be Seeing You" and "I'm a Javhawk," in deference to Kelly's roots. Kelly
received his undergraduate and law degrees from KU. Caroline Kay also attended KU and two of his sons, David and Shawn, are now enrolled at the University.
Kelly graduated from the law school in 1949 and worked with a Kansas City, Mo. law firm for eight years. He also taught law classes at the University of Missouri, now a branch of the University of Missouri.
HE HAS ALSO been acting dean and associate dean of the law school twice.
Kelly and his wife are planning to leave after Christmas to spend the winter in Florida, California and Texas. He and his wife own a condiminum near Padre Island, Texas.
Every said he had lest count of the number of classes he had taught over the years. He said that even though he had been part of a teacher's practice, his main interest was in teaching the law.
But Kelly plans to do more than just follow the sun. He and his wife will also participate in a Christmas play titled "Imagination Workshop," to be broadcast next month on KANU. Last year, Kelly was one of the narrators for KANU's series on the Great Depression.

THE OUTGOING SENATE elected three former senators to holdover seats. Lorebus, former holder渡者. Jim Cramer, former holder. John McCarthy, Cathy Ormsbee, former Nunenmaker senator.
Anne Stucker, a graduate senator, was elected as the graduate representative to the University
Cris Coftet, journalism senator, was elected as the new University Council representative.
Coalition splits were apparent during last night's elections.
After the elections, the 14th Student Senate adjourned and the 15th Student Senate convened.
Strickland, the new student body vice president, took the gavel from Cramer and opened the meeting. Immediately, John Severly, Nunemaker senator and a former member of the board, asked that the meeting be adjourned.
HE MADE THE request again, but Strickland said he was out of order.
The parliamentarian, Chris Edmonds, said the motion was out of order and Strickland did not have to recognize the speaker. So Platek, the senator who led the Momentum Coalition, made the same request.
Coffelt said that the meeting was getting out of control.
"Let's stop playing these games," she said.
"Let's just stop."
The rest of the Senate applauded in agreement.
Ptacek said he made the motion so that
officers Swenson would be kept out of
office if it took.
"We didn't want to them to a meeting until a decision was made by the Judicial Hearer," he said.
Coffelt said she thought bitter feelings were prevalent in the room.
"I've been in Senate for a year and I've seen the power politics before. It doesn't matter who does it, there is no room for it if I student Senate is sunned to be effective." she said.
PARTISAN VOTING WAS apparent last night, the said. Priority was waived on one side of the ballot.
"When you have this kind of tension, and there was still a lot of tension and unresolved conflict, you have party lines. The trouble is that they don't care. You won't be afraid if it will be pretty split for quite a while."
Weinberger will meet with NATO ministers about military strategy
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — With U.S. missiles on the verge of being stationed in Europe, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger will leave today on a visit to the Pentagon and defense ministers, the Pentagon said yesterday.
The most important part of Weinberger's 7-day trip will be the Doc. 6-12 meeting in Brussels, Belgium, with NATO's Defense Planning Committee of Atlantic Alliance defense ministers, which meets twice a year to coordinate military strategy.
The session is likely to take on heightened significance because of the planned distribution in mid-December for the first nine Pershing 2 aircraft, which will be ground and ground launched cruise missiles in England.
