University Daily Kansan, January 20, 1983 Page 9 AD says KU will be step ahead in selection of sports adviser By ANDREW HARTLEY Staff Reporter KU's athletic department is one step ahead of a recommendation made last week by the National College Athletic Association that each school assigns a single person to interpret NCAA UD department officials said yesterday. Athletic Director Monte Johnson said KU's athletic department already planned to have a rules officer within the next 30 days. Dave Cawdon, NCAA director of public relations, said the NCAA recommended that one person be designated to work with NCAA headquarters. HE SAID the NCAA made the recommendation because NCAA headquarters had received repeated calls from staff members from the same schools for clarification of the same rules. COORDINATION within member schools would decrease the number of staff required. He said the recommendation was not a result of widespread NCAA invasions. Johnson said he wanted the position filled as soon as possible to help the new team. He said four people had contacted him about taking the position. He did not release any names, but said two were KU law professors, one was a Lawrence attorney and the other was a lawyer whose lawyer whose wife was a staff member. He said the department was not actively seeking any candidates yet because the position would probably be only part time. HE ALSO did not rule out the possibility of giving the job to a present staff member. Johnson said the rules officer would have to become knowledgeable about the volumes of NCAA rules and amendments in order to be able to answer any questions from coaches and members in the athletic department. He said the officer would meet with coaches to explain any rule changes and would contact alumni to tell them exactly what practices were legal. HE SAID that many times, wellmeaning alumni unknowingly violated recruiting rules. He said that, if necessary, the rules officer could be responsible for any violations. Johnson said a legal background would be helpful to the officer, but the candidate would need to understand how much with the participation and business sides. Johnson said he wanted to make his department more efficient and less susceptible to the possibility of careless violations. "In the business of athletics, in the business of banking, in any business that size, you have to give your staff as much assistance as possible," he said. He said the new position would make the department work more smoothly because staff and coaches would not have to internet NCAA rules. Del Brinkman, NCAA faculty representative and dean of the School of Journalism, said the adviser would rather than as a "super policeman." Brinkman also said his job as the University's NCAA contact would be easier with only one person handling rules interruption. However, one KU assistant coach has his doubts about whether a rules officer would benefit the program. Roger Bower, assistant coach for the KU men's track team, said people should be responsible for knowing the rules of the sports they were involved "We are one of the few departments that tries to know the answers ourselves," Bown said. "If someone asks a question, we know the answer." THE SYSTEM may be a good idea for other departments, he said, because "there are a lot of people who do not read the rule book — we read it avidly." Mike Fisher, academic adviser to the department, was more optimistic about new policies. "Personally, any help would be greatly appreciated. Have you ever looked at the NCAA rule book?" he said. "If the athletic department finds him capable of interpreting NCAA rules, we ought to put him in charge of the Social Security fund." Both the football and basketball staffs were out of town yesterday and had been out of the stadium. BIG EIGHT Commissioner Carl James said the subject would be discussed at the next Big Eight meeting in March. Kansas State University Athletic Director Dick Towers said his department had had a permanent rules adviser for more than a year. The department also conducts technical services on any rule changes and advises individual athletes. Henry Lowe, NCAA faculty representative at the University of Missouri, said the MU athletic department had briefly discussed such a position, but in favor of working either through their coac, es or staff members. If independent truckers go on strike Jan. 31 as scheduled, it will create not only higher unemployment, but also increased hostility between union and non-union truckers, truckers and truck line managers said last week. Tax outrages independent truckers By MICHAEL BECK Staff Reporter Some independent truckers are protesting a new federal 5-cent gasoline tax increase that is to take effect April 1. Proponents of the tax said it was approved to create $5.5 million for 320,000 jobs in highway, bridge and repair result and related industries. RUSSELL WIGGINS, an independent trucker based in Lawrence, said he and all the independent truckers he knew planned to strike. "I'm going to park the night of the 31st," he said. "We're having to pay more than our share, and we're going to have to do something about it." Gary Black, a dispatcher for Lawrence Freight Line Inc., 1321 N. Third St., a union line, said that union truckers were generally apathetic to the strike, but that they objected to the possibility of increased work loads. He said independent truckers had little justification for a strike. "They are going to hurt, as are some smaller unionized companies, but walking out isn't going to help," Black said. Wiggins said, "There's no love lost between union and non-union truck MARGARET NANCE, Graves Trucking Co., Overland Park, said a strike might be good for her company because it would give union workers the opportunity. Gene Fowler, vice president of Graham Ship By Truck Inc., Kansas City, Kan, also a union firm, said, "contracts are in full, and we have to work." POPP SAID he would not be concerned if independent truckers walked out, although he does use some of their services. A strike would probably have a minimal effect on businesses, said Wayne Popp, traffic manager at Packer Plastic, 2328 Packer Road. He said the company would independently truck it could easily switch to an union line, he said. "If they walk out, they're killing themselves. We really don't need them," he said. "We can switch to some other line." Computer to update book files By JENNIFER FINE Staff Reporter Access to more than 300,000 books in Watson Library is difficult because they have not been filed in the card system. The assistant dean of libraries, said this week cards to tell the reader whether a book is available and in which campus library the book can be found. The new system is expected to save space, money and give library staff more time to work on uncataloged materials. Howard said there was a build-up of uncataloged material because many books purchased in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s could not be cataloged BUT THE uncataloged books will soon be filed more quickly, efficiently and inexpensively when the library starts using its new computer card catalog system, Computer Output Microfiche. Howard said the COM system could save at least $100,000 a year. The current system costs about $10,000 a month. he said. HOWARD SAID the scheduled date for completion of the COM catalog was September 1984. The addition of four clerks to work on the project and catalog books will speed its completion, he said. The COM catalog will use microfiche "We're paying in excess of $100,000 in staff salaries just for card filing, and a $22,000 purchase price for the cards," he said. the current system if the COM project is finished earlier, he said. According to the libraries' 1984 fiscal budget submitted recently to the office of academic affairs, the addition of four clerk positions would make possible a "radical revision" of the project schedule. AFTER THE COM catalog is completed, the additional staff will allow a permanent increase of more than 30 percent a year in the library's ability to catalog materials, according to the budget. The library can escape more costs of Although he had not yet read the budget, Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor of academic affairs, said it was doubtful that all of the library requests could be met because of the state in the national economy.
