Athletes' education forum set
By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter
A panel of athletic officials and professors will answer questions about the role of education in the lives of athletes at a forum during Higher Week, the chairman of the Student Senate Sports Committee said yesterday.
The event is tentatively set for 7 p.m. on Feb. 24, and organizers hope to have it in one of the larger rooms at the Kansas Union.
Anne Stucker, the committee chairman, said she expected the forum to feature a seven-member panel including an official of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, several KU athletic department officials and coaches, a member of a KU team and professors.
SO FAR, SHE SAID, a special committee has been formed to find panel members. She said several members already showed an interest in the forum.
Stucker, Lawrence graduate student, said the forum would be a discussion among panelists followed by a question and answer session with the audience.
David Welch, chairman of Higher Education Week, said he thought the forum was needed because the issue of education and athletics had been in the news in recent years and particularly in the past month.
The NCAA recently tightened the

Sucker said she had seen the need to inform students, faculty and University supporters about issues involving student athletes after interviewing 40 candidates for the newly formed Student Sports Council.
"What came out the most was a very poor attitude about KU athletes," she
DAVID ADKINS, A MEMBER of Higher Education Week who suggested the forum idea, said that too often the publicity of the athletic department dealt with money or the performance of the teams rather than the athletes'
Another reason for the forum, Adkins
said, was to give officials of the University a chance to express their views on controversial issues.
Welch said he thought the education and athletics forum would fit in well with the theme of Higher Education Week.
"The whole idea of Higher Education Week is to look at issues of academics and higher education." Welch said. "The Athletics has recently been a hot issue."
Sherman L. Galloway, who was charged with the rape, was scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

Crime prevention goal of program
In an effort to combat crime, the Douglas County Sheriff's Department and the Lawrence Police Department yesterday announced a new program designed to make citizens more aware of crime in their areas and encourage them to call police when they see something suspicious.
Rex Johnson, Douglas County sheriff, said the new program, called Neighborhood Watch, would be orphaned. Lawrence civic organizations.
Scott Teeselink, a Kansas Bureau of Investigation officer who is helping coordinate the effort, said citizens could help law enforcement officers fight crime by more carefully observing activities in their neighborhood.
"NINE OUT OF 10 times, when someone thinks he sees something suspicious happening in his neighborhood, he's right," he said. "Usually, there really is something wrong."
Johnson said the sheriff and police departments would start by speaking to neighborhood and civic organizers and outline the main points of the program.
"We want neighbors to be the eyes and ears of law enforcement," he said.
A key ingredient in the program, Johnson said, is the installation of signs throughout the city that warn residents of potential neighborhood intruders the program.
The signs say, "WARNING: Neigh-
borhood watch. We call the sherif"
"Signs inside city limits would substi-
tute "police" for "sherrif."
The program in Douglas County is being organized through Marilyn Steele, sheriff's officer.
Teselink said that during the past six months, the program had been started in more than 50 Kansas towns. One of the important benefits of the program is that people who report crimes in the towns with Neighborhood Watch and the police more useful information about suspected crimes, he said.
ROBERT AVERY. Lawrence Police Department crime prevention officer, said two signs had already been placed on the door and two more would be put out.
"Now, instead of of saying, 'There is a suspicious vehicle in the 1200 area of Massachusetts that they say, 'I have gone over bridge' Ford with two white males parked in
front of 1237 Massachusetts,' he said.
The program had started in the Kansas City area and Wichita, Teeselink said.
"THE PROGRAM WAS so successful there, we decided to try to spread it throughout the state," he said.
Johnson said banks in Douglass County had agreed to help pay for the signs, which cost $9.50 each plus the cost of installation.
He said 250 signs probably would be put up in Douglas County.
Avery said the watch would be set up in one-block areas throughout the city.
Teeselink said, "The program has a snowball effect. As other cities and counties hear about it, they want it too."
Johnson said members of the program who report crimes would sometimes be used during follow-up investigations, if they wanted to cooperate with law enforcement officials.
TEESELINK SAID the program encouraged people to call the police or the sheriff's department even when they sure a crime was being committed
"They're often afraid of being embarrassed," he said.
