KU faces Wildcats
The Kansas baseball team closes out its home season this weekend with double-headers against Kansas and Omaha in tow sorrow and Sunday at Quigley Field.
The Jayhawks, 19-23 overall, 6-10 in the Big Eight, have to sweep the Wildcats to keep alive any hopes of staying in the playoff race.
"We got to win the rest of the games, or at least seven," leftffler Bill Yelton said. "It could be possible, if we play noodle enough."
Pitching for the Jayhawks will be Randy McIntosh and Duke Lohr tomorrow and Jim Phillips and Kevin Kroeker on Sunday.
To get into the playoffs, the 'Hawks must beat out Oklahoma for the fourth spot in the Big Eight playoffs. Oklahoma, 8-5 in the conference, faces Iowa State and Nebraska to close out its season.
Oklahoma must lose five of eight and the Jayhawks must win seven of eight to make the playoffs.
KU, with its 23 losses, is close to setting a Kansas record for most losses in a season. The 1975 team set the record with a 15-25 mark. The last team with a losing record was the 77 team at 22-23.
Kansas State, 26-21-1 overall, 2-14 in the conference, has not won a conference game since splitting a double-header with Iowa State earlier this year. Last year, the state took three of four from the 'Hawks.
Last year, when the Jayhawks went 12-31, 12-11 in conference play, it was their pitching that kept them in the games, compiling a 3.47 ERA. They won from ERA bouloused to 5.16, while the hitting also rose, from 275 to 294.
Blue Jays romp past Royals
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Buck Martinez knocked in four runs with a homer and a single last night to carry the Toronto against victory over the Kansas City Rivals.
Toronto pitcher Dave Steb blanked the Royals on five hits. Steb walked four and struck out four in winning for the first time in three decisions this season. He was the last to win and also the first complete game by a Toronto pitcher in 1982, enabling the
Blue Jays to extend their winning streak to three games.
Martinez hit a three-run homer, his first of the year, in the fourth, to give Toronto a 4-10 lead and singled out to run a cap to a two-run sixth inning outburst against Kansas City starter Paul Solitott, 0-1.
The Blue Jays scored the only run Stieb would need in the first without the aid of a hit when Damascus Garcia walked, stole second and took third down by catter by catcher Wathan and scored on Garch long's sacrifice fly.
'Hawks to play alumni
"We'll play the game just like last year, by the ear," Coach Don Fambraugh said. "A lot will depend on the alumni and how large a squad they
The KU football players will finally get a chance to hit someone other than themselves when they take on a KU player in 10 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
"This is mainly a day for our alumni. It's something they enjoyed very much last year, and it was a success because of their enthusiasm."
Mike Fisher, academic counselor, will coach the alumni team. Fisher's coach is Will Douglas, Douglas, the All-American quarterback from the 1968 Orange Bowl
squad, was named last year as the top alumni offensive player of the game. Laverne Smith, KU's all-time leading scorer, will be on hand to play for the alumni.
Recent stars such as Bob Fias, Brian Bethek, Ed Brue, Chris Toburen and David Lawrence, who has signed a free agent contract with the Dallas Cowbys, will add youth to the alumni team.
Defensive co-captains Tim Friess and Gary Coleman and offensive co-captains Paul Fairchild and Russ Bastin lead the Jayhawks. Quarterback had had a heat spring and will be counted on to lead the Jayhawks' offense.
Women's golf team takes sixth
With nine holes remaining in the 54-hole women's Big Eight Golf Championship in Ames, Iowa, Wednesday, Kansas was in good position. They had rebounded from the sixth-place position they started the day in and had a good shot at finishing fourth in the seven-team field.
But in those nine holes the women managed to shoot 35 strokes higher than they did on the front nine and back nine. On pace, repeating last year's performance.
year and the three or four recruits expecting, we'll have a really strong team.
The sixth-place finish matched head coach Ross Randall's earlier prediction about the tournament, but Randall said it was a "future of KU women's golf was bright."
Oklahoma State won this year's event with a three-day total of 917 strokes. Oklahoma followed with 980, then Missouri 981, Nebraska 992, Iowa State 1,002, Kansas 1,010 and Kansas State 1,261.
"We should be much, much more competitive next year," Randall said.
"The girls were disappointed with their finish," Randall said. "They didn't know how they were doing, but they knew they were beating people."
Despite the disastrous final nine, the Jayhaws scored 331 for the final round, their best of the tournament, beating three teams.

House bill to upgrade language competency
Rep. Paul Simon, D-III, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, introduced the bill into Congress last year. He now is trying to work on our infrastructure, the New Fenwick, RN-J, according to Dick Penning. Simon's legislative assistant.
In response to a federal report that found the level of foreign language competence in the United States "nothing short of scandalous," members of the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to pass a bill that would step up foreign language education at American colleges and universities.
The commission reported "a serious deterioration in this country's language and research capacity." It said such a deficiency would endanger our national security. The commission municate with our allies and to analyze the potential behavior of our enemies.
By COLLEEN CACY Staff Reporter
Both Simon and Fenwick served on the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies, formed by President Carter in 1978 to evaluate the condition of foreign language and international studies in the United States.
THE BILL, which was approved by Simon's committee but awaits action by the House Rules Committee, establishes a program of federal grants to states for public schools and universities, with the awards based on enrollment figures.
The commission found that only 15 percent of American high school students studied a foreign language, down from 24 in 1980. The percentage of American colleges and universities now
SHE SAID this would encourage high schools and grade schools to beef up their foreign language programs, knowing that they would be required in college.
KU faculty in foreign language departments agree that the need for Americans
Mariyn Odell, a KU graduate who has traveled abroad in three countries and speaks six languages, said studying a foreign language is a better understanding of other cultures.
"The only way to approach an understanding of another culture is to have some notion of the way they talk," William Blue, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said. "You understand that you'll never come to a full appreciation of the people."
students ought to concentrate on a good liberal arts education, and that includes a foreign language. It's good for the mind to study foreign languages, but it use it to make money or not." Oddell said.
to learn foreign languages and know about other cultures is important, not only for use in international business, but simply to gain an appreciation of how other people
require a foreign language for admission,
compared to 34 percent in 1966.
At the University of Kansas, the number of foreign language majors is about half of what it was a decade ago. In the 1979-80 school year, 84 people graduated with a foreign language degree, compared to 148 in 1969-70.
"I wish very much that the grants to higher education would go only to those colleges and universities which have entrance or graduation requirements in language and foreign study," she said in testimony before the committee.
"THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS agencies of the U.S. government are deeply concerned that declining foreign language enrollments in our schools and colleges will lower the quality of new recruits for the armed services and increase language training costs, already at a level of $100 million in 1978," the commission said.
Simon said his legislation would combat the problem by promoting the study of foreign languages at an earlier age and helping students to take more students into their programs.
But Fenwick objected to the idea of per capita grants and favored giving grants on a competitive basis to colleges and universities only, with a preference to teach classes in less commonly taught languages, such as Arabic, Chinese and Japanese.
Universities would receive more money foreign language enrollment increased.
The report cited a peak in salaries of $30,432 a year for a new bachelor's in petroleum engineering, up 14.2 percent over last year.
Of 19 programs at the master's level, chemical engineering recorded the highest average salary offer. At $2,712, this figure rose to $12.2 percent over 1982's salary figure.
Fewer jobs, but salaries rising
By United Press International
NEW YORK—College graduates are being offered fewer jobs than predicted this year but they are commanding higher salaries, up to $30,000 a year for a beginning petroleum engineer, according to a college placement council report.
Computer science dominated the science in number of offers with annual salaries exceeding $300,000.
Geology and related geological sciences ranked second with an average of $82.836.
Judith Kayser, manager of the council's department of statistics, said recently that the few job offers failed to live up to predictions by recruiters last fall. Their rejection was a stumbling block regaining its equilibrium, but that has not occurred, she said.
SHE SAID the exceptions were the petroleum and computer fields, where demand is high and graduates scarce.
"Among new employers the situation seems to be wait, and let's see if there's recovery before we go into the hiring mode."
The college placement council report, released Monday, is based on information from 184 placement offices at 161 of the nation's 3,000 colleges.
For other majors in the 1982, the report mixes some good with some bad for what was described as a cloudy outlook. Job offers, generally, are down compared to last spring. But starting salaries are higher than they were in 1981.
The report is an early barometer of the iob market for new college graduates.
"Some employers seem to be postponing hiring decisions while they wait to see when economic recovery will begin," Kasver said.
SECOND IN SALARY among engineers was $72,168 for chemical engineers, an 11.5 percent gain over amounts offered this time last year.
