Flaska happy in big pool
By MIKE EARLE
Sarah Walter
Sports Writer
The pool at McCook High School in Nebraska isn't much. Ask KU swimmer Kris Flaska about it and he will say it left a lot to be desired.
He also will say that there were only five persons on the swim team there his senior year, and that football and basketball were the popular sports.
But all of that didn't stop Flaska from being one of the top prep swimmers in Nebraska and state champion in the 100-dard breast stroke.
Not being recruited didn't stop Flaska from wanting to compete at the college level either.
"I didn't get any big scholarship offers," Flaska said. "My dad got hold of Coach Reamon, and he encouraged me to come down and visit."
KU's swimming coach Bill Spath, who became coach Florida's sophomore year, can be thankful for that.
LAST YEAR, Flaska played an instrumental role in KU's first Big Eight championship since 1975. He brought home a third place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, and finished fifth in the 200-yard breast stroke.
Flaska could set an example in the classroom too. A senior majoring in
chemical engineering, Florida has a 3.5 grade point average, and is a member of Tau Beta Pi, an honorary society for engineers.
Not bad for someone taking 16 hours of classes, and practicing 3½ hours daily.
Flaska also was elected as tri-captain by the team. He admits his schedule can get tiring.
He also admits that with the University of Nebraska just down the road from McCook, the decision to come to KU wasn't an easy one.
"THEIR WAS SOME pressure to stay in Nebraska, but their swimming program isn't that good," Flaska said. "In terms of academics, I knew KU was bad, but I was awful scared. I felt like I'd better do good if I came here."
With the Big Eight meet less than a month away, Flaska is working to achieve his season goals.
"My goal this season is to quality for national," Flaska said. "If I can swim around 2 a.m. 206 in the 200 m tight quality."
Flaska is looking forward to going to Lincoln, Neb. for the Big Eight meet.
"My parents and friends will come," Flaska said. "Nebraska's pool is super. It's real fast."
Undoubtedly faster than Flaska's high school pool in McCook.
Bob Marcium should be leery of the dollar-blinders prevailing these days in colin six home games in 1978, KU took in an average of $103,783 in receipts for each game. An average of 38,000 fans turned out 'or each game.
Students vital in KU-MU choice
Such blinders, like those worn by a horse to keep it on a set path, restrict the vision of the wearer until all she sees is what lies at the path's end—money.
Marcum recently has shown a propensity for domining such a pair of blinders. He has unearthed the idea of moving next season's players and is going to game to Kansas City's Ariya Stadium.
There's no doubt the incentives for moving, what would be a KU home game are great. A bit of arithmetic shows that Kansas could make more money on a Kansas City game than it could on a game played in Lawrence.
Another incentive, as Marcum sees it, is the time factor. The game is scheduled for the Saturday of the Thanksgiving holiday and the Sunday would be missing from the crowd anyway.
Both reasons prompted Marcum to consider the move.

IT'S DOUBTLEF the game would be a bust financial. Arrowhead can hold up to 84,000 fans. KU's Memorial Stadium has a capacity of 52,000.
"We would be taking a chance," he said. "If it doesn't work, you know what they're going to do."

Why should he? Missouri has renovated its stadium so that it now holds 70,000 fans. This past season, 64,450 fans attended the game in Columbia. That crowd netted about $25,000 for MU. Moving to Arrowhead would mean taking a cut in revenue.
Marcum has called the move an experiment. And that all's it probably could ever be. Dave Hart, MU athletic director, can't wait to want to make the move permanent.

"I look at the student body—how many would come back for it? I don't know. I don't think I'd be that much in favor of moving it if it was on a different Saturday.

Marcum said he did not know how many students would not go to the game because
Jeff Chanay, chairman of the Senate's sports committee, said he would oppose the move because many students do not leave campus for Thanksgiving and also because they were home in Kansas City and Lawrence probably would go to the game despite the holiday.
Lawrence, in 1975 and 1977, KU has made about $108,000 each time.
Money aside, the interests of KU students remain. If their opinion about the move is ignored, the decision could "bust" for Marcum.
But even if Marcus is considering the move for just one game, he should first sound out students, who accounted for roughly 22 percent of each home game's crowd this past season by buying 8,400 season tickets.
But if KU moved its home game to Arrowhead, those gate receipts could double with a capacity crowd to about $200,000 even on campus. University paid for the use of Arrowhead.

He would do well to examine the luck of Walker, who first brought up the idea in 1925.
Marcum's revival of the proposed move is too new for a measurement of students' opinion -yet. But before the efforts go much further, such an assessment should be
BUT ASSUMING that opposition is lessened by the timing of the game is unwise. Only a poll, done either by the Senate or the House, could prove the students feel about moving the home game.
STUDENT REACTION to Walker's proposal came in part in a resolution passed by the Student Senate. The resolution said adding that students should be permitted parking; decreased visits to the campus by alumni and potential students; and detrimental effects to "the spirit of the University's amateur, collegiate athletic projections, the bases for the Senate's opposition."
In addition to the resolution, the Senate polled 119 students for their reaction. Sixty-three percent said they agreed with the resolution, and three percent disagreed and six percent were undecided.
because the earlier game was not played during a holiday weekend. Students were still on campus and might have been more likely to oppose the move.
It would be easy to say that opposition two years ago is incomparable to the 1979 game

Maybe there will not be opposition. A safer bet is that students will voice the same or similar objections their predecessors did to them, they do, their opinion should not be ignored.

Not Disappointed
My technician was at a small Ohio college was a year of disappointment. Instead of a relationship of sharing knowledge and experience with our students, relationship based on competencies and alicenses. In sense of enjoy the challenge of teaching classes, I felt more at home.
I became involved in Student Senate, down common sense, ski club, and work at the administration office. I am an active member of the student council, longevity and depression. Other freshmen on my floor experienced the same thing—apologetic explanation was given.
Two women lived next door to me, an Margaret and "Chuck." Even though they were too busy with school and activities, they had time for each other. This was not the same experience as I had when I first opened the past door of their room. I heard one say to the other, "Latin to him. He who believes in Him shall not be disgraced." Later Margaret told me that she would never have been able to believe in Jesus, but what that means, that I would mean, that I bought it, but I filled it back of my mind to consider later. Our freshman year went on and I saw that in "Chuck" and Margaret's were indeed old friends.
Because of the disappointment of my freenthusiasm, I tendered to KU I *loved* law; however, that transfer wouldn't solve my problem. I kept remembering the love and peace I had in Margarita and "Chuck." That summer, I responded to Jesus' invitation: "Come to Me, all who are weary and laden, and will give you
Another Life changed by Jesus Christ
Since giving my life to Christ, she have changed. I have a relationship with my momee Laurie that is loving and caring. School isn't the spirit it is used to be; I am really learning from classes. Being a Resident Assistant in Lewis Hall this year has put me pretty busy with a floor of women and committees. But in the midst of all these things, Jesus Christ is the center of my life. He is true to His word—1–he hasn't been disappointed.
