Five Big Eight teams decide to eliminate night schedules
Five Big Eight schools have joined a trend toward scheduling Saturday basketball games in the afternoon rather than the evening, and most have been pleased by the
The schools that changed their schedules this season were the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma University of Oklahoma and Iowa State University.
Mike Scott, sports information director at K-State, said his athletic department would send the players to the U.S. Olympics.
He said his department could not calculate an increase in average attendance because every Saturday game played this season had been a sellout.
"I THINK it's true here and with KU that the fans will come to see basketball if the game is at 2 p.m. or at midnight," he said.
Mike Treps, sports information director at Oklahoma, said that the change to a 4:05 p.m. tip-off had been a big success and that attendance had increased.
Oklahoma, he said, now schedules games in the fall in the evening to make sure area
merchants get maximum Christmas shopping on Saturday afternoons.
The afternoon tip-off is used during other times of the year.
Pat Quinn, sports information director at Oklahoma State, said the fans liked the change to afternoon games. However, the department will have to schedule more games during the evening next year for local sports teams in Oklahoma City with network broadcasts in the afternoon.
OFFICIALS AT the three other conference schools said they had no intentions of changing their schedules.
"All athletic departments know they have to give up something for television money."
George Hough, ticket manager at the University of Missouri, said that he thought more people would attend games if they were in person, but that Missouri had no plans to change.
Fire
Don Bryant, sports information director as the University of Nebraska, said, "We'd never consider a change like that. Our people are attuned to Saturday night."

Crossman said the extinguisherers no longer meet city codes because they could explode if their fire suppression systems fail.
A Kanan check Wednesday at 1244 Ohio Ht revealed a sodi-aid extinguisher in a hallway
According to fire inspection records, the violations and the locations of the five buildings are:
*1244 Ohio St.: In November 1982, the fire inspector reported that the structure had a fire escape ladder that failed to reach the ground. The inspector also reported inadequate wiring in the basement, an unsafe stairway, porch and exit stairs and an improperly enclosed furnace area. The same violations date back to an inspection in September 1979. McSwain said the fire code required that all fire escape ladders reach the ground.
*1212 Louisiana St.: In July 1982, the fire inspector reported that the structure did not have a smoke detector in each unit, had an
improperly secured fire escape and an improbably enclosed furnace area. The same violations occurred in the other two cases.
*3424 Louisiana St.: In August 1081, the fire inspector reported that the building lacked a second fire exit, had an improperly enclosed stairway and did not have a smoke detector or fire extinguisher in each unit. The same violations date back to an inspection in July 1976.
*1821 W. 26th St.: In November 1982, the fire inspector reported that the building had an improperly enclosed furnace area, an improperly enclosed stairway and lacked a smoke detector in each unit. The same violations date back to to an inspection in July 1980.
- 1963 W. 26th St.: In November 1982, the fire inspector reported that the building's staircase was not constructed with material that would resist fire for one hour, and that the building did not have a smoke detector in each apartment. Applications date back to an inspector in July 1980.

PAUL HAACK, associate dean of graduate studies in the school, said the test requirement could upgrade the educational standards of the program and provide national prestige and an increase in enrollment.
Although the new test requirement is aimed at raising the competency level of education
students, he said, many factors have been responsible for problems in education schools in recent years.
He said low salaries and more opportunities for women in other professions were partially responsible for increased concern about education schools.
Hack said he did not think students would be upset by the new policy.

*The cost of hotel accommodations would often be eliminated because visiting teams could travel back to their hometown that night after the game.
- Afternoon games allowed the news services to distribute the game scores to East Coast newspapers in time for their Sunday editions, helping recruiting and alumni relations.

*The department could save money on overtime for set-up and cleaning work for games because workers would no longer have to work all day Saturday and Sunday mornings.
She said the biggest factor in keeping more tans in the Field House was the improvement of the lighting.
Owens said he thought the toughest aspect for the fans in moving games was changing the strong tradition of Saturday night basketball at KU.
- Because some games had to be changed to the afternoon last year to accommodate television contracts, many fans were confused by the inconsistent game times and did not get started.

Johnson said, "My biggest concern is the drastic change in habit for fans who are used to evening games."
*Because fans had never questioned the tradition of Saturday afternoon football games they would be receptive to the afternoon basketball games.
*With an afternoon game, students would have their evenings free to socialize or study.

But one official who worked on the change with two athletic director Jim Lesaig said the change was made in response to concerns.
RICHARD KONZEM, assistant director of the Williams Fund who was acting ticket manager when the decision was made to change, said most of the reasons for changing were to bring in more people and raise the amount of revenue he would generate. He said other reasons for the change were:
- More out-of-town fans could drive to games if we weather on a game day was poor, because the drive home would be in the late afternoon.
Williams said a proposed minority recruiting program in conjunction with the Kaw Valley College would help him on the problem for about 12 years, would bring more blacks to the College of Health Sciences.
The trend is the same as in other years, she said, but the statistics may be slightly off because students do not have to state their race.
HE SAID THAT a review panel from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services
would meet March to decide whether to
invest $340 million to finance the
program for three years.
The program, which would take effect sometime in July, is designed to augment the low
Suzanne Slender, assistant director of office of admissions and records, College of Health Sciences, said that of the 2,406 students in the college in the fall 1982, only 34 were black; that number was less than for all other minorities except Hispanic.
The residency program has 10 blacks, more than any other section of the college.

His office also regulates discrimination complaints throughout the Med Center.
He said that his office must approve all unclassified job openings and that he had the authority to approve or disapprove of any person selected for a position.
BESIDES RECRUITING minorities for the College of Health Sciences, he said, the office of affirmative action also regulates hiring of unclassified staff at the Med Center.
"THEIR is currently a need for more blacks in the health profession," he said. "One of the reasons for the problem is the lack of interest among high school and college age students."
Complaints are infrequent, he said. Administrators and supervisors were forced to attend a hearing last week on the complaint.
The results of the program have been good, he said. One of the students who used the program was Mr. Doyle.
He said that supervisors and employees were now getting along better and that most administrators were happy.
But because of the better scholarships offered at other schools across the country, he said, none of the students who were accepted actually attended KU.
art of the financing includes salaries for the additional staff that would recruit students.
Williams said the program would also have summer sessions at the Lawrence campus in which black students who have shown interest in medical professions could take classes in science and humanities for two hours, three times a week
Last fall, out of 735 applicants for medical school at the College of Health Sciences, only 36 were black, he said. And of those 36, only four were accepted by the school.
He said the federal government spent $4,500 on the research support program.

And the ones that have interest rarely go to the University of Kansas, Melvin Willmann, director
The program provides three summer jobs at the Med Center for high school and college students and orients them to the hospital environment, he said.
Humanities courses are required, he said,
because some black students have difficulty
reading and therefore have trouble taking tests.
The interest of blacks in health professions is almost non-existent, the director of affirmative action at the University of Kansas Medical Center said Wednesday.

Drink
STATE SEN. Paul Hess, R-Wichita, had introduced a bill that would raise the drinking age first to 19 in 1983, to 20 in 1984 and finally to 21 in 1985. Hearings on the bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled for Monday have been canceled.
"I don't think you'll see any of the other drinking age bills reach the House floor, and I doubt that the Senate bill will get out of committee."
Cobb said better enforcement of existing laws was the answer to the problems of drinking and drinking.
But State Rep. Keith Roe, R-Mankato, who
vowed against killing the bills, said, "I have to represent my district, which is extremely dry. I think this will be decisive. Reporting a bill adversely is pretty good indication of intent."
The Rev, Richard Taylor, spokesman for Kansas for Life at its Best], said, "Kansas lawmakers are more concerned for the pocket-books of tavern owners and beer wholesalers than they are about the life and limb of Kansas youth.
"If they are concerned about highway tragedy, they did the wrong thing."
THE NATIONAL Transportation Safety Board has reported that 4,881 people died in 1981 in alcohol-related accidents in which the driver
was less than 21 years of age, he said. Ten percent of all licensed drivers are under the age of 21, but they are responsible for 26 percent of all alcohol-related deaths, he said.
People will say these figures don't apply to Kansas because the drinking age of 18 just applies to 3.2 percent beer, he said. But the same rules apply to 18 of 18 for beer and wine light, just went to 21.
Apparently most members of the committee did not agree with Taylor.
State Rep. Ken Grotewiel, D-Wichita, said, "Everyone on the committee is concerned about the problems of drinking and obesity, but the problem that age was the biggest factor in those problems."
Sooner Or Later You'll Get Responsibility Like This. In The Navy It's Sooner.
You're maneuvering 445 feet of guided missile frigate through the navigational hazards and non-stop traffic of one of the world's busiest ports.
But you'll dock safely. Because you know your equipment.
You know your men. And even when the responsibility weighs in at 3,600 tons... you're ready.
After four years of college, you're ready for more responsibility than most civilian jobs offer. Navy officers get the kind of job and responsibility they want, and they get it sooner.
Navy officers are part of the management team after 16 weeks. Instead of boot
camp, officer candidates receive four months of leadership training. It's professional schooling designed to sharpen their technical and management skills.
Then, in their first assignment, Navy officers get management experience that could take years in private industry. And they earn the decision-making authority it takes to make that responsibility pay off.
As their management abilities grow, Navy officers can take
advantage of advanced education and training in fields as varied as operations management, electronics, and systems analysis. In graduate school it would cost you thousands; in the Navy we pay you.
And the Navy pays well. The starting salary is $17,000 (more than most companies pay). And that's on top of a comprehensive benefits program that can include special duty pay. After four
