NCAA puts football program on probation
By COLLIN HERMRECK Staff Renorter
The National Collegiate Athletic Association yesterday slapped the KU football program with a two-year probation that will prohibit the Jayhawks from playing on television and also from appearing in post-season bowl games next season.
Among the 10 violations cited by the NCAA were references made by former assistant
The probation, which became effective Nov. 21, does not include sanctions for the 1983 football season.

coaches of "a large amount of money and other benefits" that would reasonably lead a prospective athlete to believe that he was being offered these benefits if he would enroll at the school.
THE STATEMENT DID SAY 'None of the athletic department staff members who were involved in the significant violations in this case are associated with the University's athletic program.
The statement issued by Frank Remington, chairman of the NCAA Committee on Infractions, did not disclose the names of any former NCAA players. The NCAA rules or athletes involved in the recruiting.
The statement said that all of the violations had occurred between 1979 and 1982 during the coaching tenure of Don Fambrough, who was fired a year ago.
Press reports throughout the two-year investigation have named former offensive coordinator John Haddl as the center of the investigation. Football coaches at Kansas State University and the University of Missouri publicly criticized a high school athletics money to play at KU

Other violations outlined in the NCAA news release included expense-paid visits for two prospects, the lining up of employment for a student before the completion of his senior year in high school and recruiting visits made to a prospect in excess of NCAA limits.
REMINGTON SAID THAT one of the violations involved a KU player who had enrolled in the University and had completed his eligibility. That violation justified the two-year penalty.
Recruiting visits by staff members not designated as full-time recruiters, the providing of financial aid to a student ineligible under the NCAA's proposed 2.0 grade point average legislation and illegal transportation for prospects also were mentioned in the violations.
The NCAA also prohibited one unnamed former member of the KU athletic department
NCAA makes probation statement
Statement of Frank J. Remington, chairman of the NCAA Conference on Infractions:
"In considering this case, the committee's primary concern was the recruiting approach utilized by certain former members of the University's football staff.
"Specifically, the statements reportedly made by these coaches while recruiting certain prospective student-athletes were found by the committee to have caused the prospects reasonably to believe that they would be provided certain improper financial benefits if they attended the University of Kansas.
"The additional violations found in the case involve extra benefits and recruiting praises that are not appropriate."
legislation, but these infractions were not considered by the committee to be as significant as those involving the recruiting staff and staff members to prospective student athletes.
"In arriving at an appropriate institutional penalty, the committee noted that one of the recruiting statements found to be a violation in this case involved a prospective student athlete who ultimately enrolled in the University and completed his eligibility as a participant of the institution's football program. In light of this factor and the other significant recruiting violations found regarding the University's football program, the committee believes its penalty in this case to be fully justified."

Kelly ends career of firing lectures to law students
By BRUCE F. HONOMICHL Staff Reporter
Machine Gun Kelly got the shock of his life yesterday.
Kelly, professor of law, goes by William. But some of his students call him Machine Gun, as students did when he first began teaching at the university, because he delivers his lectures so rapidly.
Yesterday, after 26% years, he fired off his last lecture. Kelly will retire at the end of this
The shock came when Kelly emerged from his last lecture to find 400 students, a singer, his family and all the faculty members in Green Bay in the commons of the law school to say goodbye.
"Oh my," Kelly said, eyes bulging, as he stepped into the commons to thunderous applause a few seconds after 11:20 a.m. "I've been on the phone, but I guess I'm a little speechless right now."
HIS FIRST GRADUATING class honored him in 1960 and tagged him with the deadly nickname by giving him a black violin case with an inscription noting his "rapid fire elucidations of the law" Kelly's wife, Caroline Kay, brought the violin case to the commons to remind Kelly and

Announcement shouldn't cause finger pointing
Probation clears air for football program in recruiting efforts
Don't blame the NCAA. Don't blame the University of Kansas or its athletic department. Don't even blame some former coaches for the two-year sentence KU has
The subject is simply something that we need not take lengthy pains to dwell upon.
In fact, the announcement by the National Collegiate Athletic Association yesterday of the two-year probation of the football program might be fortune in disguise.
But first, you can bet that the sanctions will bring substantial criticism. Some will blame the increasingly competitive nature of college sports, for example, for a resort to improvemenlies in draw star athletes.
Some will speculate whether the breaking of NCAA rules really enhanced the cause of KU football. After all, the team didn't make significant stints during the past four years.
AND EXPECT TO HEAR a resurgence of speculation on exactly which coaches and which athletes were involved in the video game. The NCAA conveniently left the names out.
But those who are wise will not place the blame for KU's two year probation on anyone other than our leadership.

element of college football nor lax enforcement of rules by the athletic department.
Those who are wise will realize that the athletic department has been purged of all of those who acted against NCAA recruiting regulations.
What purpose will the rehashing server other than a few more lines of print on a sports page? Nothing can be gained by the same game now gone from the athletic department.
However, one must grant that NCAA rules governing recruiting and extra benefits are important to college football. The NCAA must have strong rules to ensure that competition among university football programs does not lead to a proliferation of unethical recruiting.
We also must accept the fact that KU at one point in its program was in violation of those rules and deserved to be punished. It would be absurd to conde these actions.
HAVING ACCEPTED KU's violation of NCAA rules, the whole matter should be placed behind us with a minimum of finger-pointing and analysis. Life goes on.
And lite for the KU athletic program will progress much more rapidly now that the

Police raid frees Heineken from gang; 24 arrests made
By United Press International
AMSTERDAM. Netherlands — Police rescued kidnapped millionaire beer baron Freddie Heineken without firing a shot yesterday in a raid on a soundproof metal but where he had been chained to a wall in "medieval conditions" for 21 days.
Twenty-four alleged members of the kidnap gang were arrested following the police raid. The raid came two days after a reported $10 million ransom was paid but failed to secure release of the Heineken brewery chief and his chauffeur.
ronce said guards usually posted by the kidnappers were absent when they rushed the building on the grounds of the Jadu Sawmills in Amsterdam's remote western harbor in the spring.
HEINKEEN, A CONFIDANT of the Dutch royal family and reportedly the richest man in the Netherlands, and his driver Ab Doderer, were reported by doctors to be well and fit despite enduring three weeks in unheated, cell-like rooms in the construction
Police Inspector Gerard van Beek, one of the first people to enter the cold prison, said Doderer wept with joy when he realized he was being rescued.
"These men had to spend three weeks confined in these medieval conditions — lying on mattresses on the floor and dressed in miserable paiamas," Siersma said.
"Their reactions were rather different." Van Beek said "Mr Heincken was reasonably sober about it but delighted to hear of the bad appersons always spoke in a foreign language."
"Mr. Doderer was very emotional and burst into tears of joy."
Van Beek said the hostages were left unguarded at night.
"They were left utterly alone at night," he said. "If anything had happened, lightning or a fire, no one would have known they were there."
CHIEF POLICE INSPECTOR Kees Sainat said he was almost missed the flight while having the two in conversation.
Doderer, 57, was beaten and seized when he tried to prevent Heineken's abduction Nov. 9 outside the headquarters of the Amsterdam district court where he ganged into a truck and driven away.
He said 24 men and women, part of a "big family clan" involved in the abduction, were arrested as soon as Heineken and Doderer were there still seeking four other people in the case.
Police and Heineken Brewery officials declined to disclose the size of the ransom, but the Dutch ANP news agency quoted reports that 100 million dollars and $2.5 million had already been recovered.
THE RASONW WAS paid by an unarmed policeman Monday after a cross-country chase that ended on a viaduct where he was trapped. He made escapes to a truck waiter below. Stetma said
Sietsaim said the 60-year-old Heinken had suffered from the cold and seldom was.
Sietama said police knew the identity of the kidnappers some days before the rescue operation, but that a raid might have been planned if the case both victims had not been present.
"There was no reaction from the kid-nappers after the ransom was paid." Sledsma

Office faces problems in minority recruiting
By COLLIN HERMRECK
Staff Renorter
In the 11 years that the office of affirmative action has existed at the University of Kansas, the office has confronted difficulties in trying to place women and minorities in the university.
Recent budget reductions, generally low salaries, minority isolation and KU's geographic location are reasons cited by several administrators in explaining why KU is unattractive to them.
"The biggest problem we face right now in making progress is that we at the University are doing so little hiring." John Tolleffson, dean of the School of Business, said recently. "Enrollments are not growing and budgets are shrinking. You can't make any progress on affirmative action goals and timetables if you're not hiring."

Only four of 530 faculty members now teaching in the College are minorities. Lineberry said.
Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the College had not hired anyone this year. Therefore, no progress has been made with the College's hiring goals
To comply with affirmative action, each KU department and school must show that it is attempting to hire minorities and women when faculty positions become available. The Action Oriented Recruitment Plan indicates whether a department has an insufficient number of applicants of four or ethnic groups - blacks, native Americans, Hispanics or Asiatic-Pacific Islanders.
Figures from KU equal employment reports released Sept. 19 showed that blacks, Hispanics, native Americans and Asian-Pacific Islanders made up only 8 percent of KU's full-time staff.
White males and white females accounts for 52 percent and 40 percent respectively. Males make

up for 57 percent of full-time KU employees, and females make up 43 percent.
figures from KU's 1983 spring enrollment showed that whites represented 87 percent of the student population, minorities, 6 percent and foreign students, 7 percent.
Some administrators also say that KU's Midwestern location is a reason why minorities are more likely to be enrolled.
