KUAC nominees stress academics
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas places more emphasis on a winning athletic program than it does on academics, and the university's athletic Corporation board said yesterday.
Eight candidates were nominated for three-year faculty positions on the KUAC board, an advisory group to the athletic department. Voting will be this week, and the two winners will be announced on Saturday.
"My primary concern is that the role of athletics at the University of Kansas has been placed second to the educational mission of this University," said Dr. Eugene Forsberg, professor of American studies and sociology and one of the candidates.
YETMAN SAID HE WAS distressed by the firings of head football coach Don Fambrough and head basketball coach Ted Owes
He said that Athletic Director Monte Johnson's mission for the athletic department was to consistently rank among the top 20 teams in football and basketball. However, Yetman said, faculty salaries rank among the lowest 20 schools.
"This demonstrates the inconsistency in priorities at the University."
Another concern of Yetman's was that the increased pressure to win in college would push him away.
quality of education which a student athlete receives.
Yetman said he would also ask the athletic board to reinstate a rule to prohibit freshman eligibility in sports at KU. In addition, he might seek rules concerning the off-field conduct of athletes at the University.
WALTER CROCKER, PROFESSOR of psychology and speech and drama, said his decision to run for a position on the Commission is a step in the firing of Owen and Fambroub.
"It bothers me when I hear reports that we ought to be in the top 20 every year," Crocker said. "There seems to too much emphasis on winning at all costs."
He also said Johnson was too harsh in his decision to fire Owens and Fambrough, because both coaches had a history of service to the University.
"Both of the people showed considerable loyalty to the 'University' Crocker said, and we'd like to make sure we're thankful for lowlux. We must not disgrace them."
Another candidate, Renate Mai-Dalton, associate professor of business, said, "All athletes should have the opportunity to complete their degrees. That's the primary purpose why they should be at the University."
MIA-DALTON IS ALSO INTERESTEDIN equality between mme's and
"I feel I could bring up the topic of the equality of men's and women's athletics," she said. "But I don't have a one-sided approach."
Marlene Mawson, associate professor of HPER, said she could see both sides of the issue between education and athletics, because she had been both an athletic administrator and an educator.
Mai-Dalton helped found the Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Awards Fund and she is a member of Kansas Women's Sports Inc.
Mawson came to the University in 1968 as a coach and as a representative to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, which also been a professor here since then.
She said that some of the stress on winning was justified because it helped build morals for the program. She said that if they had to be the only reason for winning games.
MAWSON ALSO SAID SHE was interested in bringing more attention to women's sports through the KUAC board.
Thomas Mullinazzi, associate professor of civil engineering, said part of his motivation for seeking a position on the board was the need to treat athletes as
He said that as a board member he would work to establish closer ties between the departments and schools in the University and the athletic department.
Two candidates, Cal Downs and William Linkugel, both professors of speech and drama, could not be reached for comment on their reasons for wanting to be on the KUAC board.
Sorority gets corpse at door
FULLERTON, Calif. — Police questioned fraternity members yesterday about the theft and mutilation of a cadaver found propped up against the front door of a sorority house.
By United Press International
The cadaval, the only one on the campus of California State University at Fullerton, was stolen late Friday or early Saturday by thieves who broke into the science building, pried open the doors to a classroom and storage room and broke open a locked box where the cadaval was stored.
The body, an adult male with the eyeball and right hand misshed, was found draped in a formaldehyde-skeated cloth Saturday morning by two students at the Delta Zeta sorority house, located in a residential neighborhood about a half mile south of the Orange County campus.
Police have no suspects in the case but investigators visited fraternity houses to questions members about the incident.
The cadaver, which was used for demonstration in anatomy classes for three years, was returned to its box in the science department Saturday.
Lt. Dan Galitz, of the campus police department, said the perpetrators, if caught, would face felony charges of burglary, illegal transportation of a cadaver and mutilation of a cadaver.
