Bia 8's New Commissioner
Neinas Wears Many Hats

The Big Eight Athletic Conference has to decide. It must be part pollenman, judge-housekeeper, mediator, counsel
Charles M. (Chuck) Neilas, who took over the position last week as director of operations, is executive director of the NCAA is looking forward to the new
"My duties with the NCAA were extremely difficult," she said. "I can easily more easily define my duties with the Big Right. As a coach, I need to concentrate a little more with certain things I want to get in touch."
ONE OF those "certain things" is the promotion of Big Eight football—especially to television.
Neenas said that if the Big Eight can convince people in areas where the traditional Big Eight Football is the best, the television network "pay the bill" with a real payoff.
"We have to do a better job of selling Eight Football in other parts of the country," he said, "of we are to receive what I think is the television revenue that exists in the NCAA television play."
Another of Neinas' plans is to become more involved in promoting sports other than just football and basketball.
"I THINK that the conference office can take a leadership role to bring a little more attention and awareness to some of the

other sports." he said.
"Basically, if you believe that intercollegiate athletic competition is good, that it has to be good for you, you should try to provide an opportunity to as many students as possible. You should continue to try to find more sports that have an interest among the students."
He said that the system of club sports that had been developing in the universities could be one answer.
Cards Bring New Coach, Experienced Team to KU
SOME OF THE commissioner's regular duties include enforcing conference rules and coordinating the different schools.
"Probably the most important," said Niemas, "is to try to unify all the interests and corral and harness the energy of the member institutions so that we can move forward together."
Another important aspect of the job. *cording to Neenas*, is to maintain objectivity within the conference, "so that they all recognize what we're supposed to know and do," she said, the educational family and we have to maintain certain standards."

of pressuring defense and run a great deal. The only thing we can do is to try score consistently and defense quickly." Owens said.
Owens explained that when the Cardinals set up their offense they use a high post with the knives breaking through the lane.
Owens bemoaned the rugged schedule the Hawks have faced this week (3 games in 5 days), and he had hurt his practice schedule

Neinas said the conference compares favorably with other large institutions and that in some cases was ranked higher. For example, the Big Eight requires a 1.8 GPA on the test, while the national rule is i.6.
"We've had very little chance to improve during the past week. And of course we're going to have to talk about it, but another topic of concern to Owens was the foul trouble center Randy Castellain has felt." There are games
Admission to the tournament will be 50 cents for children and one dollar for adults.
One problem the new commissioner must deal with is the rising costs of collegiate sports. The league nationwide, the costs of football and basketball had gone up 108 per cent in the last 10 years, while the income from them tended to be stable. Neinas said that the AAA had been trying to come up with a plan that it wasn't an easy problem.
HE SAID that additional revenue from television helped, along with raising ticket prices, the company couldn't be raised every year.
"I think that partially Randy has been the victim of some marginal calls," Owens said.
In the future, he thought there might be some curtailment of the granting of grants and limit on grants and aids, and possibly, the number of coaches required.
Neinas said he thought that intercollegiate athletics played an important role in the university.

JE USED Nebraska as no
"You can say what you want, about Nebraska overemerald, a cool football overemphasis of Nebraska's football program does not necessarily come from the University of Nebraska. It has been a tough school from the governor and the senators on down. They take as much pride in the University of Nebraska team as they do anything else."
"It's become a very big philosophical decision as to the kind of student who should be instructed to the institution," he said. "I think that a well-run, good clean program is generally beneficial for the students." He added that the institutions, the students, the

Neilas thought the conference should try to institutionalize its programs more, so that they are more a part of the university. He

DESPITE financial woes, and cries that athletics are irrelevant, Neinas has high hopes for the future of sports.
FREEPORT, G.B.L. (AP)—Grier Jones, still gunning for his first tour triumph, fashioned a six-under-63 and forged into the first round lead in the $130,000 golf tournament Thursday.
"I would hope that we can maintain and, hopefully increase our popularity and mass appeal to sports and increase awareness of the game," she said as they as minor because the guys competing in these are major."
The 25-year-old Jones, a Wichita Pro, in his fourth year on the tour, held a one-stroke margin over U.S. Ryder Cup Star Alexander, and big George Atherton, each two-time winner this season.

'A general increase of student population with more diversified interests will hopefully expand the program.
If all that happens—thats why I'm in the business—thats why I'm very pleased to get the opener work in the Big Right Conference.
Neinas admits that collegiate athletics is a big business but he adds, “it's got to be a business for it to be worthwhile.”
