KU Players' Wives Married to Football
By MARY BESINGER
Kansas Sports Writer
"With this football i tree wed" often becomes the satirical form of some wives of University of Kansas football players.
Lynn O'Neill, wife of vince O'Nell所 recently that she was married to a "football nut." She said she fell the presence of someone on her bush and husband has football practice all fall and continues to train during the off-season. She said he worked on his own during the winter, and during the spring when he took part as during the regular season.
"Football is in really time, consumption is huge and that during the season her husband practiced every day at 3:30 p.m. and usually gets home around 7 p.m. On Sundays she would meetings, or even the viewing of the last game's film. She said he was also gone a lot during the outing."
MRS. O'NEIL, added that before the games her husband was often moody because he was thinking only about the game Afterwards he relived the game for days. She then went on to get up early Sundays to get the newspapers to read about Saturday's game.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil both attended Hutchinson Junior College before moving to Lawrence. O'Neil played football for the junior college and she was a star. She married two years later, married two and a half years.
During the football games the wives of the players sit together to cheer their husbands and the boys. They are players in a different way though
A CORRING TO MRS. O'Neil, listening to people "get down" on the players during a game is one of the greatest joys of being a player's wife. She said she believed that the players were not as hard as they could. She said the nasty comments hurt but she usually just sat there and never went.
Besides football the O'Neils enjoy basketball, baseball and track
Shelle McCoy, wife of center Mike McCoy, is a senior majoring in education.
The McCays met in KU's Wakins Hospital. Both were in the waiting room sitting next to each other. A few weeks later she was feeling well, so how she was feeling. They have been married only six months.
MRS. McCOY said she found i
She said that her husband who maintains a 3 B.C.P.A., practiced three hours a day and then studied at night. When the team met on the campus, he usually left Friday noon and get back late Saturday night.
nard "sharing Mike with something that takes so much time."
However she said she had always like football. Before she was married, she continued, she didn't know the game. Now she anticipates all the time and effort it takes to be a good athlete.
THIS YEAR McCoy has been sidelined much of the time with injuries. He has been hurt in three consecutive games, she
"I almost expect for him to be hurt and I just wait for it to happen." Mrs. McCov said.
The McCoys also enjoy other sports such as swimming and tennis.
"We've tried to enjoy tennis. I need lots and lots of practice. I don't play consistently," she laughed.
Just recently has Kathy Cooper joined the ranks of married athletes Sue and Gary, an off-couple from KU, who were married in July.
The Coopers are both from California and met there.
ACCORDING TO Mrs. Cooper of the hardest parts about being married to a football player is listening to the fan complaint that she doesn't play for the players. She said she thought that the mistakes couldn't be blamed on just one person and that the wives were so proud. She laughed and said that the wives usually sit during the games gritting their teeth for a while and then one by one they yell and defend the team
MRS. COOPER has always said that her husband has tried to explain the game to her. She laughed and added that it took a lot of exasperation.
However, her husband disagreed with her. He said that she understood the game well for a woman.
Playing professional football after college often confronts the college player, Mrs. Copper said she wouldn't push her husband one way or the other about pro baseball and he'd let him make his own decision.
"If he's happy, then I can be happy," she said.

Sister Schools Exchange Ideas; Broaden Educational Opportunities
Students attending Haskell Indian Junior College are able to take advantage of the best of two worlds—Haskell and the University of Kansas. In recent years KU-Haskell programs have been extended through several KU departments. Such programs are helping Haskell make the transition from a vocational-technical institute to its present junior college status.
"Current efforts are to find and use projects that benefit both institutions rather than just being a one-sided effort on the part of KU to get information," said Jerry Hutchison, assistant vice chancellor of academic affairs. Students' projects are now first submitted to Hutchison's office where suggestions may be offered in order to make the proposal compatible to the best interests of Haskell. The proposal is then sent to the administration of Haskell for final approval.
For several years Haskell has been a source of research for KU graduate students. Haskell was a convenient organization setting for University studies. Unfortunately, too many times this contact between the two schools has benefited only the KU researcher.
AN EXAMPLE OF this kind of positive
an experiment is being carried out through the KU
"Our objective is to open the channels of communication between all of the users of Haskell," said Harley.
School of Architecture. Twelve KU students are working with both the Haskell and Lawrence community and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) toward the development of a long-range building plan for Haskell. This plan is for the ten year expansion of the entire Haskell campus using a multi-million dollar appropriation from the federal government. The students involved are members of the fifth-year senior seminar class taught by James J. Harley Jr., assistant professor of architecture and urban design.
"Current efforts are to find and use projects that benefit both institutions rather than just being a one-sided effort on the part of KU to get information."
A KU ARCHITECTURE student and Haskell students discuss the expansion of Haskell, a multi-million dollar program students are working toward a masterplan for their future. The growth of Haskell, involvement this kind of is the same for the program.
The KU students are doing this by first becoming acquainted with the attitudes, ideas and desires of these users—Haskell students, the Indian community, faculty and staff, administration, faculty families and the BIA. They have had weekly meetings on the Haskell campus with students and have been communicating the ideas they have been given through Haskell all-school assemblies. The Lawrence community has been invited to attend and participate.
THROUGH WORK with both Haskell and the Lawrence community, 12 separate masterplans will be presented. Out of these, four will be chosen, reworked and ratified and then one will be chosen by Haskell to be sent to the BIA. This final plan will include a model of the Haskell campus, complete with buildings both present and proposed, and will be on display at Haskell. There, Indian students will be able to change the model according to what they think will better serve the college.
"The objective is to make a statement that reflects what the Indian wants," said Harley.
One major desire of the Indian students is a cultural center, according to Craig Patterson, Shawne Mission senior. The center would incorporate such features as a theater for Indian drama, a fine art center and a museum of Indian art and artifacts. It would provide a forum for Indians on both the local and national level to disseminate their ideas.

KU-HASKELL cooperation has not been limited to Haskell's physical growth alone, Haskell's transition to a junior college that offers a liberal arts college curriculum has been aided through the efforts of KU's Independent Study Center under the direction of Alex Lazarzino.
KU's part in helping Haskell make the change-over was made possible through a grant from the BIA to KU in 1970-71, for curriculum development of Haskell. This grant was renewed this year.
"Our function is to extend the academic resources of the University in order to help Haskell provide a well-rounded program in its first stages of development as a junior college," said Lazarino.
