Similar action occurred recently in the Kansas Legislature when a ridiculous proposal aimed at government control of sports was sent back to committee.
State must steer clear of sports
MEACHAM has vowed to continue his attack on collegiate sports by trying to gain more government control, which is not needed in the era of a TITLE IX assault.
surprises Monday thru Saturday 4 PM to 1 AM
Rep. Mike Meacham, R-Wichita, sponsored a bill that would force the state's two largest universities—the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to play one men's and one women's basketball game each year with Wichita State University. Meacham, a graduate of WSU, should remember that the three women's teams already play each other, twice a
A half dozen attempts by opponents of the bill to load the proposal with crazy amendments reflected sentiment that at least some legislators were against more stringent regulations. The collective sports remains perhaps the last bastion free from government over-kill control.
By a B$-50 vote, House members sent the bill back to the Federal and State Affairs committees.

as Meacham says, it technically could return this session.
"I wanted to make a point," Meacham said. "I want the game scheduled. But we don't have any business in this field when it really ought to be done by the universities."
Meacham earlier accused KU and K-State of attempting to ignore the existence of "a third school." Because of that, he resorted to legislation as a "last available mechanism," in a field where he and the Legislature admitted have no business.
If a bill was indeed the final option, as Meacham said, why didn't he ever talk to Jack Riley about scheduling a basketball game? Or why didn't he contact DeLoss Dodds, K-State's athletic director, who has been involved in education and athletics for 50 years.
MARCUM, WHO HAS worked 20 years in education and athletics, including the last three years of his career.
State University, has been at KU since August. Athletics administration 'at the university' is overseen by the athletic department.
Just as Marcum probably wouldn't be qualified to run the government, the government is not qualified to run collegiate athletics, especially because all levels of government are busy with over-regulation in almost every other area.
Marcum said he hadn't had any contact with Ted Brahdeohl, athletic director at the college. He began to begin government control of athletics through scheduling, something in which he has had no experience or training. That area includes the athletic departments of each institution.
population" to KU. Fairleigh Dickinson has 19,000 students, but Wichita State has only 15,900 students. A collegiate athletic administrator would have known those figures.
"What do we have to gain by playing Wichita State?" Marcum asked.
He pointed out that KU tried to schedule more games at home than away from home. This is financially sound schedule planning, designed to make money from gate receipts. This season, KU played nine non-conference games, six in Lawrence.
IN A LETTER to the Kanan, Meeschum sated that KU played Pairleigh Dickinson and then played Jerry West.
Some of Meacham's co-sponsors have said from the start that the bill was designed to attract attention. It has. But Meacham said that if the game wasn't scheduled by the universities, he would bring the bill back.
That's too bad. University athletic programs shouldn't be encumbered by more governmental legislation. Scheduling should be left up to the universities and the professional athletic administrators and coaches involved.
For his efforts, Meacham received the "canine奖"—a can of dog food and a dog leash—from a house member who opposed the bill, saying, "Of all the bills we have looked at this year, this has to be the dogestig we have seen."
"Yes, I'm serious (about the bill);"
Meacham said.
Instead of the leash, Meacham should have been given a huge chain, signifying that he was the owner.

Partially funded by Student Senate
These same senators are responsible for allocating all student activity fees to various KU organizations. Last year a total of $430,794 was distributed to some 80 groups.
Student Senators you elect are responsible for the KU bus service (KU On Wheels). This $298,000 operation is partially funded and completely run by your Student Senate. It is doubtful that this service would continue without the Student Senate, and it is certain that if it did, Bus Pass costs would rise substantially.
The Student Senators you elect provide the only recognized, unified voice of all the KU students. This voice is heard by KU administrators, city officials, Regents members, state and federal legislators as well as other Big 8 schools.
The Student Body Vice President you elect is directly responsible for the success or failure of the Student Senate. It's the Vice President's job to make sure the Senate is on target and dealing with the issues at hand.
Six reasons you should vote in this week's election
The Student Body president you elect must singlehandedly represent all the 20,000 plus KU students. He (or she) sits on several corporation boards as well as on the Kansas State Board of Regents. The president is responsible for all the student committees, and is often called upon to represent the KU students before state and federal legislatures.
Class officers plan class functions. Along with parties, class officers work hand in hand to promote KU spirit. Senior officers run the HOPE award, and play a key role in the class gift and future class reunions.
