Johnson hires information director
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter

Athletic Director Monte Johnson yesterday named Doug Vance, a 10-year veteran of sports public relations and a former television and newspaper reporter, to be the new KU sports information director.
Vance replaces Sid Wilson, who left the athletic department in February to take a similar position at the University of South Carolina.
"We are pleased to have Doug join our staff," Johnson said in a prepared statement. "He is a quality person and he brings much experience and ability to our department."
VANCE WILL resign his present position as the sports information director at Murray State University in Murray, Ky., effective April 30.
"I think it's going to be a nice
challenge." Vance said in a phone interview from Kentucky. "I'm looking forward to starting work at the end of the month."
His sports information staff at Murray State includes a secretary and a graduate assistant. The staff at the University of Kansas has two full-time assistants, several interns and part-time assistants and a secretary.
"Here I did most almost all of the duties myself," Vance said. "The media market here is not as large as it is there. I had to work hard to market our product. At KU it almost comes naturally."
Vance said he intended to keep all present KU staff members when he took over in Mav.
"IM FORTUNATE they are there," he said. "The people I know there are all excellent. I'm glad I won't have to walk into the position blind."
Vance met with Johnson for an interview last weekend.
"Monte Johnson seems to be a person committed to building an excellent program." he said. "I was very impressed with everything I saw there, especially the people I met. The quality of people make the difference."
Vance, 32, has worked at Murray State for five years.
Murray State's enrollment is about 8,200. It has had successful football and basketball programs in the past several years.
THE FOOTBALL team made two regional television appearances last year and made the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-AA playoffs, and the basketball team has received bids from the National Invitational Tournament three of the past four years.
Two present athletic department staff members have worked or attended school at Murray State while Vance has been there. Head football coach Mike Gottfried coached at Murray State from 1978-1980, and women's track coach Carla Coffey was an athlete there.
Gottfried said, "He's a real hard worker and quite humble. He'll do a lot of things."
Before Murray State, Vance worked for five years as the sports information director at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn.
VANCE WORKED for a short time with the Lexington, Ky., Herald during college and with the Frankfort, Ky., State Journal as a news reporter after being fired by the University. He has also worked for radio and television stations.
Vance said that he enjoyed working with college students and that he was active in coaching in youth baseball and soccer.
Doug Puckett, the manager, said the credit union has had problems in recent months depositing its patrons' checks into different accounts.
ABOUT 1,400 KU employees have their checks sent to the credit union in Carruth-O'Leary Hall, which deposits part of these check amounts into the
Errors in transferring individual bank deposits into a computer caused several University employees' checks to be lost. The Federal Credit Union said yesterday.
KU credit union errors cause overdrafts
Credit Union accounts and then deposits the remaining sum into accounts in other banks.
However, some depositors last month were left off a computer deposit list, so the money from their checks was never deposited in bank accounts across
"It's stricty our fault," Puckett said. "We have some people on the Uni-
versity, and I'm not sure why."
But Puckett said the credit union covered overdrafts at different banks
and also sent letters to those banks requesting that derogatory remarks be removed from bank records of people whose checks were not deposited.
"THE BANKS have been helpful working with us," he said.
Puckett said the mistake would not happen again and that the credit union was working kinks out of a new system to process checks more quickly.
Steve Brown, a facilities operations employee, called the Kansas yesterday after a bombing in his workplace.
checks would not be available for deposit until at least May 2.
Brown complained that the state was taking too long in getting checks to employees and that the credit union convened several KU employees.
"I SHOULD BE getting paid the 29th of this month," he said. "They're doing some ridiculous things in Topoika. I've been saying that they have has—you know, financial obligations."
Concert planners await word on Sunday beer
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
Although city officials have not yet decided whether the Interfraternity Council can serve beer at Hawkstock '83 on Sunday, May 1, the event's coordinator said yesterday he was looking for beer distribution would be approved.
"I's going to go," said Mark McKee,
Overland Park sophore. McKee is the coordinator of the concert, which will bring five bands to Memorial Stadium in a concert to benefit local and campus charities.
ADVERTISEMENTS on local and Kansas City radio stations for the concert with Joan Jett and the Black-hearts, Shooting Star, Huey Lewis and the News, Modern English and the News, The New Yorker about eight times a day, McKee said.
The radio ads say free beer will be available.
WHILE IFC officials are optimistic, attorneys studying the decision remain cautious until the official announcements from city prosecutor Mike Glover.
Art Farmer, IFC adviser, said he thought the importance of the beer issue at the concert had been overplayed.
Glover said the decision could be announced today.
"The real issue is the concert itself and" the appearance of five major bands at the festival.
The beer distribution would not violate any state law about sale on Sunday, Glover said. The confusion over interpretation of a city ordinance about beer distribution on Sunday is at the center of the debate.
Richard Hodson, attorney for the Alcoholic and Beverage Control Division, said state law stated that alcohol may not be sold by any licence on Sunday. But the state law did not include 3.2 beer under its definition of alcohol. The regulation about 3.2 beer is made on the city level.
ACCORDING TO the city law, the maximum penalty for the distribution is a $500 fine and imprisonment for one year.
Last year's Hawkstock coordinator, Randy Chilton, said that the elimination of the beer would make a difference on ticket sales but that it was impossible to estimate the dollar impact.
"The shows with local talent, the ones with a more party atmosphere, there the beer is more important," he said. "But at shows with the kind of bands that they have lined up this year, I can't stand it." The beer will make that much difference."
McKeen said this year's show would cost $1FC at $100,000. The group would have to sell about 10,000 tickets to $25 million in advance and $15 the day of the show.
Hawkstock was canceled last year because two bands backed out.
