SenEx committee examines Timetable waste of space
By SHARON APPELBAUM Staff Reporter
James Maloney has a weary problem. The MV1100 is in the buller for his test.
"I've been visiting around various schools, and I've always picked up a timetable. It was always smaller--why?" Maloney, professor of physics and chemical engineering, asked yesterday.
Maloney said he wanted to reduce the size of the Timetable.
Maloney said he thought the Timetable was filled with a lot of wasted space, and in printing it has been simplified.
"If'd guess that the one-time savings would be greater than $,000, so it a worthwhile task, I
Maloney has pored over the Timetable and found plenty of dollar-eating white space.
For example, he said, "It seems as if there's quite a bit of empty space for special problems."
Listings for doctoral dissertations are bordered by two inches of white space on either side, and listings for Western civilization discussion sections fill about a third of the page.
MORE SPACE is wasted under columns for special symbols, he said.
"You look down through the column, you see maybe three to a page. That's using up a lot of space. Let's get rid of the empty space if we don't use it." Maloney said.
To tighten space even more, Maloney said the first names of professors could be eliminated.
Maloney will present his ideas Friday morning at the University Senate executive committee meeting, and it seems he will be greeted with open arms.
SENEX CHAIRMAN Ernest Angino said,
 anything we can do to reduce the size of that
 environment.
To emphasize his point, Maloney compiled a table of eight universities, listing enrollments and such Timetable measurements as number of pages, size and square inches.

'Rivalry' breeds cups, T-shirts
By STEVE ROBRAHN

If a rivalry exists between the University of Kansas and Wichita State University, it's one-sided, the director of KU Sports Information said yesterday.
"The idea of a rivacy with WSU is premature and grossly exaggerated," said Sid Wilson,
Despite claims by Wichita State officials and
appellants, the state's law officers, Wilson
denied that a rivalry was brewed between
the two.
T-shirts and tumbler cups depicting a WSU Shocker strangling a Jayhawk have been on sale at Wichita State since March, just after KU was defeated by Wichita State 66-45 in the Midwest Regional semifinals of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
THE BASKETBALL victory was the first time Wichita State had ever beaten the Jayhawks, and it was the first game between the schools in 26 years.
The shirts and cups give the score and read "Battle at New Orleans 1981."
"Oh sure, we're trying to do anything we can to get a ball game with you guys," said Jack Gillette, manager of the Wichita State Campus Activities Center bookstore.
More than 5,000 shirts and 2,000 cups have been sold, according to Gillette, who is in charge of the business.
A Cincinnati firm manufactured the items, and they were on sale in Wichita about five days after opening.
"We came up with the design (for the shirts and cups) and the Wednesday before the game just in time."
The shirts sell for $6.25 each and the 16-ounce cups are priced at four for $1.
Demand was heaviest in the first three to four weeks after the game, he said, but sales are still high.
"Oh, I hope not," Gillette said. "This is just a merchandising thing. The schools hadn't played for 28 years. for crvin' out loud."
cups are prized at four for $1.
Is Wichita State being a poor winner?
WICHITA State would market similar items if it beat Kansas State University, Gillette said.

Senate committee approves new budget committee bill
By MIKE ROBINSON Staff Reporter
Staff Reporter
Four of the 28 members of the Student Senate Rights Committee approved a bill yesterday that would create a special budget committee to deal with the Senate's spring budget bearings.
But while the committee members present passed the bill 4-0, the former co-chairman said it was a case of "unconscious"
The budget committee bill has been in the Rights Committee since last spring and would strip all but one of the seven standing Senate committees of their budget responsibilities.
"I can't see how anybody would disagree with the claim that I sat through邪能 hearings," said Brett Bentley. "I don't believe in."
ABBOTT DECIDED to make several changes in the bill because of criticism in the way students outside Senate would be chosen for the committee.
But Abbott said he would propose an amend ment memoirs for Senate that the non-senators should accept. He studied *Studies*.
In the bill as it now stands, the 10 non-senators would be chosen by the student body president, vice president and the chairman of the Student Senate executive committee.
Mikl Gordon, former co-chairman of the bill because of the low committee turnout.
"If only four members were present, I don't know," Gordon said. "The meeting smacks of 'shove through.'"
DAVID ADKINS, StudEx chairman, said all the members of the committee were notified of
Adkins called the meeting and conducted because of Gordon's resignation and because he could not reach the other co-chairman, Steve Dwork.
The Finance and Auditing Committee would still conduct the fall supplemental budget
But Gordon said that even with the changes in the bill, he was opposed to it.
GORDON SAID that he opposed the bill because it would prevent non-senators who could be on the committee.
Gordon said one committee would have a difficult time doing the work the seven committees
He said that it would make the budget process more closed.
If "five or six committees don't have enough time and put in enough effort and don't do a good job," then it is no good.
He said that closing the budget process would defeat the purpose of Senate.
"Student Senate is a learning tool for those students who want to get involved in policy decisions."
"That's either going to be the most over-
populated campus or it's gonna do the poorest job on campus.
BUT LOREN BUSY, Finance and Auditing Committee chairman, who had previously criticized the bill, said yesterday he would now run his own office. He said, "but it a lot better, than what we have."
He said that with the changes, he was satisfied with the makeup and selection of the budget components.
NBC extends TV agreement deadline
Abbott said the budget committee would be a vast improvement over the present spring budget allocation system, in which each standing committee holds its own hearings.

The deadline for verifying participation in the College Football Association-NBC television agreement was extended from Sept. 10 to Sept. 18, the CFA announced yesterday.
The CFA's Board of Directors asked NBC television to extend the deadline until after a September 17 court hearing that will decide the property rights concerning televised football.
THE QUESTION facing the court is whether property rights belong to the NCAA or to the individual schools.
The hearing date was set after the universities of Georgia and Oklahoma filed a joint class action suit against the NCAA on behalf of the 61 member schools of the CFA.
The suit was filed on Sept. 8 in federal court for the Western District of Oklahoma.
According to the complaint, filed by the chief counsel at Oklahoma, the suit requested an injunction to prohibit the NCAA from penalizing teams who sign the CFA-NBC television con-
Jim Sally, administrative assistant to the
chancellor at the University of Kansas, said he did not know whether Chancellor Gene A. Budig was informed of the decision to file suit, or even if KU was directly involved with filing it.
FRED DAVISON, president of the University of Georgia and chairman of the CFA board, said he filed the suit because: "the members of the College Football Association contend that each university has a property right to its own athletic program."
The issue of property rights stemmed from controversy over a recent move by the CFA.
The contract is in direct conflict with a $283
million television package that the NCAA

The CFA negotiated a four-year $180 million television contract with NBC to broadcast football games of member schools beginning in 1982.
Despite threats of expulsion or ineligibility by the NCAA, CFA members approved the NBC contract by a 43-20 vote with 5 abstentions and 12 votes to 10 to finalize their agreement or withdraw it.
In response to continued threats of sanctions by the NCAA, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas must release all records.
question of property rights to be decided by the courts.
THE UNIVERSITY of Texas also filed suit in state court in Austin. Temporary restraining orders were granted for both complaints to prevent the NCAA from initiating enforcement procedures against the CFA members until the decision on the property rights question.
"Hopefully, the courts will respond promptly and permit the CFA universities to continue as members in good standing in the NCAA and also have the opportunity to exercise control over the property right which properly belongs to each university." Davison said.
Since the approval of the CF A-BNIC contract, several CFA member conferences, including the Big Eight, have called meetings to request that the NCAA form a special convention to address concerns of the schools regarding reorganization issues and issues concerning television property rights.
CARL JAMES, Big Eight Commissioner, said yesterday he had received notice from the NCAA stating that a convention would place either eleven or twelve at the place and exact data were not verified.

Controller strike interrupts flights to small airports
Soon it may take only two.
Total flights at the airport are down 20 to 25 percent to about 800 passengers since the air traffic controllers strike began Aug. 3, and prospects for increased air traffic are not looming on the horizon, said Brad Bartholomew, manager of the airport.
"If they don't fly the big airports like Kansas City or Chicago, then they don't fly the smaller ones," he said. "Most of our traffic is private airplanes and pilots won't schedule trips to small cities unless they can route their flights through larger airports."
BARTHOLOMEW SAID the reduction in flights also was linked to passenger anxiety about flight schedules. Nationally, fights have been reported as much as 25 percent since the strike began.
"Until the Official Airline Guide comes out with the new listings on flights, passengers will continue to be apprehensive about flying." Bartholom卿new said. "Anytime they can cancel flights at random, there will be some concern about flight schedules."
Local travel agencies, however, say things are getting back to normal since the government's plan to replace the controllers with military officers and management staff has taken effect.
"At the beginning of the strike we had some difficulty rebooking some cancellations," said John Novotny, travel consultant for Maintaup travel Service. "Most of the people understood that a strike would drive the strike out. As new tentative schedules are made, there have been fewer cancellation."
NOVOTY SAID threatened boycott by world controllers had some local people worried about
"People have a lot of money invested in two- or three-week trips and they get pretty nervous when foreign controllers threaten to boycott American airlines," he said.
Linnae Custer, office manager of the Travel Center of Lawrence, some cancellations
Because of the strike by air traffic controllers, the volume of commuter service between Lawrence and Kansas City has decreased.
