Free beer considered for baseball promo
By ANDREW HARTLEY
Staff Reporter
KU baseballbats will have a chance to enjoy the April 30 doubleheader with free beer and a chance to win prizes between games under a proposal to be considered by the University Events Committee this week.
The Events Committee approves and schedules all non-academic activities on
The baseball promotion, to be called Cowboy Roundup, is sponsored by the Student Sports Council. Final plans will be made after adoption of the plan.
The sports council hopes to have the
ANN STUCKER, CHAIRMAN of the sports council, said yesterday, "The promotion is basically to make more people aware that we have a baseball team and to get people out to see them play.
game against Oklahoma State University
rescheduled for 10:38 a.m. instead
"There's no doubt that it will be a good game. OSU usually has a pretty good defense."
Stucker she hoped students would stay around for the games and then go to the spring football intra-
squad meet at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Mark Mears, sports council member
who is organizing the promotion, said distribution of the beer at the game would be much like last season's taliate and is definitely issued several tickets for cups of beer.
Both Stucker and Means said they did not anticipate any objection to offering free beer at the game. The tailgate party brought opposition from several other groups who said the retail department was encouraging students to drink.
"It MUST BE UNDERSTOOD that the athletic department is not sponsoring the beer or this event." Means the college or university's sports council, not the department.
He said most of the beer would be donated by local distributors.
The Tickets will be numbered and ticket stubs will be placed in a box for a display.
The winner will win a prize, he said,
most likely a pair of tickets to a Kansas
City Royals game.
"We'll probably pull out five names," Mears said. "Those five will compete in a baseball throw when the person will hit." He then pulled the ball in a barrel at second base.
THE TENTATIVE PLAN also includes a hitting distance competition among fraternities, scholarship halls and sororites.
Convocation opens new Honors Program Center
By DAVID POWLS Staff Reporter
Nunemaker Center was formally opened as the University of Kansas Honors Program Center yesterday.
And KU officials, faculty members and students said that the location of the center would not be detrimental to the program's future success as some critics of the move have said it would be.
After Nunemaker Center was named the Honors Center in February, some faculty members and students said that its location — on the west side of campus — might discourage them from participating in the program.
The center was previously used to store student records for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Some honors courses have also been taught there.
ABOUT 15 STUDENTS and as many faculty members attended yesterday's inaugural action, two symposiums, two symposiums, a dinner and a talk by Breon Mithchell, a
David Katzman, director of the honors program, said that the center's location would not be detrimental to the program because many honors students lived in nearby dorms and because buses stopped there regularly.
former honors student who is now a comparative literature professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
"For the first time, the program will have two full-time faculty members with offices here." Katzman said. "We year we plan to have three here."
He said the full-time faculty members would teach primarily honors courses, so the center would be convenient for them.
THE CENTER WILL be more convenient for honor students this fall because freshman-sophomore courses will be scheduled around noon and junior-senior courses will be scheduled for late afternoon, be said.
"We plan to rotate the full-time faculty's terms," he said.
HONORS STUDENTS also said the benefits of the program would outweigh the inconveniences possibly caused by the center's location.
"If students do not plan carefully, they may have some long treks," she said. "Otherwise I do not think there will be any scheduling problems."

for academic purposes.
Schultz said the program's directors were planning more interdisciplinary courses for juniors and seniors.
She also said that honors students would have to plan their school sched-
Colleen Eck, Wichita sophomore, said. "You need to concentrate on the good things you can get from the program. The faculty members are almost always better in honors courses."
Theresa Black, Liberty, Mo., freshman, said scheduling around honors courses had been a problem for her.
"I had to schedule myself a half hour to get here," Black said. "But this is a beautiful building and they should use it."
During the yesterday's convocation J. Eldon Fields, professor of political science who has taught honors courses for 25 years, spoke to the faculty members and students about the positive and negative aspects of honors programs.
Fields is retiring from teaching after this semester. He has taught at the University for 37 years.
HE SAID STUDENTS took honors courses because they thought honors courses looked good on their academic records, because they got better teachers, because there was more interaction in honors courses, and because the courses were more challenging.
"Honors courses are characterized by the questions raised, not by the answers given," he said. "They should never be a breeze."
He also said he was sad that he had only taught four or five black students in his class.
"There is a parochialism in the selection process," he said. "Social and class narrowness tends to breed parochialism."
$4,500 in Encore proceeds donated to the United Fund
"I only regret that it couldn't have been more," said Harvey Rudy, the business manager of "Encore — The Beginning of a New Tradition."
The Board of Class Officers donated $4,500 of proceeds from a musical variety show to the United Fund Warehouse to the fund's business manager said yesterday.
The February show, which was sponsored by BOCO, replaces the show "Rock Chalk," which was sponsored by KUY.
Rudy, a St. Louis, Mo., senior, said that he was unaware whether future
Jo Bryant, executive director of the United Fund, said that the exact use of the money would be determined later but that it would be used locally.
proceeds from the show would go the United Fund and that the board would make the decision at the beginning of each year.

The computerized system is scheduled to be ready by October 1984. Some library staff have begun entering information on books into eight new computer terminals and compiling instruction manuals.
Howard said that he thought the project could probably still be completed by the scheduled date, but that more staff members might have to be taken from other departments of the library.
New catalog system requires larger staff
THE COMPUTER OUTPUT microfiche catalog, COM, will have bibliographical information of books on microfiche cards. The catalog would be available to branch libraries, allowing faculty and students to know what materials are in a particular library.
He also said that if the project were completed sooner, money would be saved.
He also said that inadequate staff who were not paid enough could not meet the library's needs.
Gerald Mikkelson, a member of the University Senate Libraries committee, said he thought there was a problem with an alarmingly high number of books cataloged and was skeptical about the effort to increase acquisitions.
Meanwhile, many books that are uncataloged or only cataloged by their title, making access to them difficult, have some faculty wondering what the library will do with new acquisitions.
Howard said that buying new material had to be given top priority over increasing staff to process materials.

"one of the most serious problems we have right now is the staffing, especially for cataloguing," said Clint Howard, assistant dean of libraries.
HOWARD SAID THE libraries had requested money for four staff people to work on the project, but it was not received.
Howard said that salaries paid to KU library employees were near the bottom of salaries paid in university libraries comparable to KU.
The average yearly acquisitions in the last few years has been between 50,000 and 60,000 books.
Despite inadequate staffing, Watson library is continuing progress on the computerized card catalog system, which may eventually solve the problem of thousands of unread books, a library official said last week.
"THE LIBRARY HAS problems as all institutions do, and one of its problems is that its workers aren't paid very much," he said.
"If we don't get a salary increase from the state next year, we may very well be at the bottom. If we earn more, we may lose good people," he said.
