Big 8 money to offset cost of coaches' firing
By ANDREW HARTLEY
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
Athletic department officials said this week that they had avoided financial woes from last De- mandageover in the football coach's stal.
After head football coach Don
Fambroach was fired, all but two of
his assistant found jobs, relieving
the team from doubling its football payout.
The athletic department had agreed to pay the former coaches' salaries either until June 1 or until they found another job.
IN ADDITION, the department received an $800,000 windfall of television and bowl game money from the Big Eight Conference, said Susan Wachter, business manager for the athletic department. That revenue offset the estimated $146,000 the athletic department will have to pay for the football transition.
the television and bowl money, she said, would also cover the shortfalls in every major sport at the University of Kansas this year.
The $146,000 will also include a pay increase for the new assistant coaches and head coach Mike Cohen in moving expenses of the new staff.
She said the remaining salary and fringe benefits of Fambrough's contract represented 19 percent of the estimated transition cost.
FAMBROUGH SAID yesterday that he had not yet decided where he would be working next.
"Most of my time has been spent writing letters and making calls for the assistant coaches." he said.
Fambrigh said that for now, he was enjoying having some time to himself and playing golf every day.
Sid Wilson, sports information director, said the options available to Fambrough included several positions in the University administration outside the athletic department, several football jobs with other schools and a job as a scout for a professional franchise.
Wachter said the cost might be lower than the $146,000 estimated because most of the assistant equipment prompted a delivery pavillon then expected.
WILSON SAID that only two other members of the old football staff had not yet found jobs.
Dick Purdy, 48, recruiting coordinator under Fambrough, has not officially announced that he has been selected by the Purdy Purdy would likely return to a
Kansas City high school to coach football.
Purdy came to the University in 1980 from the head football coaching job at Shawne Mission West, where he logged a 33-42.3 record.
Don McLeary, 34, coach of the backs from 1977-82, also has not found another job. Wilson said McLeary had several offers to
He said the other assistant coaches all had found work at universities.
*Tom Batta, former assistant coach and defensive coordinator, has taken a position at North Carolina State University at Raleigh
Batta, 40, worked with the Jayhawk defensive squad for three seasons.
- Morris Wats, offensive coordinator for one season, will work next year with the football team at Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind.
Watts, 45, replaced John Hadi, who went to work for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League.
*Kent Stephenson, coach of the offensive line from 1979-82, will work with the Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League.
- Rich Rachel, 35, coach of the defensive backs since 1979, will be an assistant coach at Memphis State University next season.
- During the 1981-82 season, Rachel's defensive secondary was fourth in the nation in preventing passes.
- Mike Ackley, former coach of the defensive ends, has joined the Iowa State University football team. 35, coached at KU from 1979-82.
- Mike Sweatman, coach of the linebackers from 1978-82, has taken an assistant coaching position at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
- Sweatman, 36, held the KU record for career tackles for 12 years.
- Larry Kriisky, receivers coach for less than a year, was recently named the head coach at Kentucky State University at Frankfurt.
Wilson said he was not surprised that KU's former assistant coaches each had several opportunities to choose from.
"All of the coaches had a great reputation." Wilson said. "It's not always the coaches who are at fault for a bad season. They can't do much if they don't have the talent on the team."

Budig opposes three-tier fee scale
By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter
2:00 p.m.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig has joined legislators, students and other university officials against a Kansas House bill that would raise fees for foreign students attending Board of Regents schools.
"KU HASH HAD a strong commitment to international education for at least the past 35 years. Our students have benefited from the opportunity to study abroad, just as international students benefit from the opportunity to attend KU."
"we would be very disappointed if any steps were taken which would make it difficult for able international students to attend." Budig said.
The bill, which was passed by the House Ways and Means committee last week, would allow the Regents institute to administer a third level of fees for foreign students.
In a prepared statement, dudig said he opposed the bill because it could discourage foreign students from coming in to the University of Kansas.
"If we're going to be a university, we will have to be an international university," he said. "We have learned some awfully hard lessons in the area of international politics and a lot of it is due to policymakers who have had provincial educations and who wore cultural blinders."
semester, the same as non-resident students.
State Rep. George Dean, D-Wichita, the sponsor of the bill, said he expected Budig and other Regents schools presidents to oppose the bill because their schools received more money by attracting more students.
DEAN HAS said foreign students are not paying their fair share of the cost of their education. He said he wanted foreign students to pay 100 percent of what it costs to educate them at Regents schools, instead of the 50 percent they now pay through non-resident fees.
Sobach said he thought some of the legislators who introduced the bill resented wealthy students from counties like Waukesha and Wisconsin who enrolled in Kansas universities.
IF THE BILL is passed, Solbach said, its constitutionality may be challenged in court. He said he knew of no other state that charged a higher tuition for foreign students than for U.S. citizens.
Foreign students now pay $1,110 a
"He can't take any other stance," he said. "If he took any other stance, he probably would not be a good chancellor.
Budig's statement was echoed by university and state officials.
Solbach said he was not sure the bill would even reach the House floor this
"it's not a Regents bill," it says, "the taxayers' are the taxyers who answer."
He said, however, that passage of the bill would result in only the wealthy foreign students being able to attend Regents schools.
"I hope his statement is afforded wide circulation," he said.
Clark Coan, director of foreign student services at KU, said he was pleased with Budig's stand against the bill.
"I personally feel our present plan is a good one," he said. "These people make a real contribution to our campus. They really teach our students, as well as coming to be students themselves."
Budig is well-respected among legislators, he said, and his opposition to the bill will attract their attention.
STATE REP, John Solbach, D-Lawrence, one of the main opponents of the bill, also said he was encouraged by Budig's opposition to the bill.
John Visser, president of Emporia State University, said he thought the present fee system for foreign students was fair.
Bolach said he had presented a KU Student Senate petition against the bill to the state legislature.
"I think it's well within the chancellor's role to that," he said.
Emporia State has about 300 foreign students out of its 5,553 total enrollment, he said.
"It's not going anywhere at the present time and may never go anywhere," Solbach said. "If it does, we will make every effort to stop it."
SOLBACH SAID that foreign students, because of their diverse backgrounds, provided a cosmopolitan atmosphere in state universities.
University faculty and staff and Lawrence residents are anxiously preparing for the Magna Charta exhibit next month.
A committee and five subcommittees are determining ways to deal with large numbers of people who may visit the display. These committees will also plan for the traffic, security, volunteers, special events and educational programs that will come with the exhibit.

Members of the committee include Jim Denney, director of the KU Police Department, and Don Kearns, director of parking services.

The exhibition at KU is being sponsored by the Kansas University Endowment Association, Friends of the Library and other sources.
