Goldberg Appeal Scheduled Athlete Determined to Win
By DICK HAY
Kansan Staff Writer
The Appellate Division of the KU Judiciary has set Friday Sept. 25, as the trial date for the case of Sam Goldberg, the KU athlete who was suspended from the track team last spring and has been fighting his case with the athletic department since then.
Goldberg was suspended from the track team and his scholarship was revoked for disciplinary reasons last May 27. A special KU Judiciary panel ordered the athletic department to reinstate him for the NCAA championships, but the athletic department failed to comply.
The athletic department also appealed the decision on the grounds that the KC Judiciary did not have the power to invoke such a decision. The Appellate Division is scheduled to hear the case at 1 p.m. Friday in Green Hall.
After almost four months of battling the University of Kansas athletic department over whether

or not he will be reinstated to the track team, Sam Goldberg sees himself as a symbol and unofficial spokesman for the oppressed athlete.
"I seem to have fallen into the position of spokesman for athletes who can't speak because of pressures on them," Goldberg said Saturday.

Kirk said that communists had infiltrated nearly every major "revolutionary" organization in the United States, and were directing their actions in many cases.
He accused white liberals who push revolution of trying to assuage guilt feelings over the mistreatment of blacks and other ethnic groups in our society.
group composed of KU athletes and excluding representatives of the athletic department to inform high school seniors the truth about KU, a steering group made up of athletes which would establish rules for the teams and would punish violators, freedom of political expression, a 5-year scholarship, reversal of the 5-year eligibility rule and scholarships tailored to individual needs.
"Ninety per cent of all athletes don't graduate because too much of their time is taken up by travel and competition," he said. "The NCAA owes them a chance to graduate and to look forward to a happy future."
"I'm challenging the athletic department to bring out the truth," Goldberg said. "I would like Stinson (Wade Stinson, KU athletic director) to guarantee all athletes in writing that they can feel free to speak as long as they are physically and academically eligible to compete."
"I'm sure all athletes support my ideas," he said.
He said that Wade Stinson tried to force him to leave the track in Memorial Stadium on two separate occasions last week.
DUPLICATE BRIDGE
Goldberg said that he was using the track when the stadium was open, which was his right as a student.
