KU faces Wildcats
The Kansas baseball team closes out its home season this weekend with double-baders against Kansas State at 1 p.m. tomorrow and in Tulsa at 4 p.m.
The Jahawks, 19-23 overall, 6-10 in the Big Eight, to have sweep the Wildcats to keep alive any hopes of staving in the playoff race.
"We got to win the rest of the games, or at least seven," leftffeldier Bill Yellton. "It could be possible, if we play good 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.

Kansas State, 28-21 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 team took three of four from the "Hawks."
Last year, when the Jayhawks went 32-19, 12-11 in conference play, it was their pitching that kept them in the games, compiling a 3.47 ERA. Then, with the hitter ERA ballooned 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 Martinner knocked in four runs with a boner and a single last night to carry the Toronto Rangers to victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Toronto pitcher Dave Stieb blanked the Royals on five hits. Stieb walked four and struck out four in winning for the first time in three decisions this season. He also hit and also the final 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 4-1 lead and singled home a run to cap a two-run sixth inning outburst against Kansas City starter Paul Sullitzer 0-1.
The Blue Jay 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 in scoring error by catcher John Wathan and scored on Garth Gorsis sacrifice飞.
The KU football players will finally get a chance to hit someone other than themselves when they take on a KU player. They'll tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
'Hawks to play alumni
"We'll play the game just like last year, by the ear," Coach Don Fambrough said. "A lot will depend on the team and how large a squad they have.
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.
"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."
Recent stars such as Bob Fiss, Brian Bethke, Ed Bruce, 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 Baskin and his wkts Carterback and Seurat has great 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 Armes, Iowa, Wednesday, Kansas was in good position. They had rebounded from the six-place position they started the day in and had a good shot at finishing fourth in the seven-team field.
The sixth-place finished matched head coach Ross Randall's earlier prediction about the tournament, but Randall said a future of KU women's golf was bright.
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 in contact, we'll have a really strong team.
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. "With the girls we'll have back next
"The girls were disappointed with their finish." Randall said. "They didn't know how they were beating, but they knew they were beating people."
Despite the disastrous final nine, the Jayhawks scored 331 for the final round, their best of the tournament, beating three teams.

Poor economy sends grads home
By JAN BOUTTE Staff Reporter
Liston explained that even though he had a good job, he was not able to cover the big, unexpected bills because he had no savings left.
Diplomas don't produce jobs
For many, the second sends them back to square one—home with the folks.
"IDDUN" have any other choice but to move home, "JE Liston Kansas City, Ct."
And after that walk down the hill following four years of total immersion in college, the new graduate clutches two a new diploma and an empty bankbook.
The last final is over, that last research paper footnoted and tried. @last at.
His is a familiar tale.
But Jeff's room had already been filled by the next brother in line, and the household had adjusted to life without Jeff. He started a new lifestyle during his college years.
Of 40 seniors from last year who were contacted randomly from the student directory, 21 had moved back into their parents' homes for at least three months—until they found jobs, or got on solid financial footing.
Even with his parents' help, Listen used every penny he had, and some he had but none he didn't.
His new job paid for the everyday expenses, even the payments on his school loans, but when the big car repair business had to move back into the family room
“IT'S A BIT degrading to move back in after being on your own,” Lliston said.
Only five graduates took permanent jobs in cities away from their family homes, and the remaining 14 of the 40 returned to school to seek graduate degrees.
Giving up some independence for
failure is necessary for many
new college graduates.
or Terry Dwyer, who graduated last December, moving home was a way to save money to buy a house. But as interest rates climbed and the housing market worsened, Dwyer saw his goal slip away. So he moved into an apartment with two bedrooms at the first of the year, a full year after moving back into his parents' home.
Most could not support themselves immediately after graduation.
THE GRADUATES are not the only
those affected whose lives are
affected by the move home.
These situations cause problems for more than just the student who must give up some of his independence when he moves back under his parents' roof. The entire balance of the home is affected, no matter how temporary the stay.
The first problems that crop up deal with the physical—one more body around the other.
For many, their rooms have since been given to shilings, or converted to a den or ascension.
Liston decided not to shake up the bedroom assignments at home and spent his nights on the couch, leaving his old room to his brothers who had appropriated it while he was at the University of Kansas.
Liston's father, Warren, saw this as the circumstances were quite temporary.
"HE NEVER really unpacked anything." Warren said.
all those who were living at home said they saw it as a temporary situation. The consensus was that more than a year's stay would be taking advantage of their parents' hospitality, and would be longer than the graduates could handle.
While the graduates moved home to save money, all said that they contributed a share toward covering the household expenses.
Each said they had made an agreement with their parents when they moved back in on what their share would be, but that the payments slide when money was short.
"I understand that some problems arise when they bring their new lifetimes to us."
"It's difficult to coolekake," she said.
Warren Liason listed it also was difficult for parents to live with a child who had his own ideas of how to run a house.
MOST OF THE graduates said they had not had run-ins with their parents because they had been careful to do unacceptable things while living at home.
The graduates said returning home was much like returning to the rules of high school, and they would do their account for where they were going with whom, and at what time they would be back.
"It's just difficult readjusting to your new program," he said. He graduated in 1981 from Overland Park, said.
"I tried not to interfere with what would have gone on if I hadn't been there," Jeff Jankowski said.
Warren Liston said "I understand many

KELLEY SAID she and her mother out problem as they occurred, patrick was taken to the hospital.
For Jeff and Jennifer Liston, who returned to share their home with three siblings, and for Terry Dwyer, one of six children, the impact on the household was less than that of Kelley's move home to join one sister.
The change seemed to affect the smaller families more drastically than the larger families.
The Kelley household went from
no children living at home to two when the
sisters moved back in after graduation,
and there was more drastic for their
mother.
"She just got adjusted to us being away, then we were back," Kelley said.

For some, the goal was to move out when a better job came along, others a certain amount of money in the bank, and one who had no money. But money than she had to spend each month.
Whatever the goal, those who had already left the nest for the second and allegedly final time, were glad to be out on their own again.
In spite of the problems encountered with money, space and lifestyles, both the parents and graduates said they would not hesitate to enter the same kind of living arrangements again if it became necessary.
"I REALLY kind of miss him, now that he's moved back out," she said.
Dorothy Dwyer said having Terry back home was not a problem.
While Jeff Linton said he hoped it would not become necessary, he would not make the change.
Warren Liston said he was glad to be there when his children needed him.
"I'd never want them to take advantage of me by never moving on to their own,"
"and that's how you want to know."
