TV Coverage Sought For KU Road Games
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The idea originated at the Hotel Eldridge Breakfast Club. Bryce Cooke, Overland Park senior, and Bob Reck, Wichita senior, were asked to organize the drive.
Cooke and Reck plan coverage of at least one more regular season road game plus a telecast of the NCAA regional tournament at Dallas if Kansas makes the trip.
The KU Jay Watchers have received the "go ahead" from a Kansas City, Mo., television station for the telecasting of one or more of the remaining KU basketball games, Bob Beck, Wichita senior and co-chairman of the organization, announced at noon.
Bulletin
A collection will be taken at tonight's game to help finance the venture.
Arrangements for the Dallas telecast are being worked out now with a Dallas station. Kansas has regular season road games left with Missouri, Oklahoma A&M, Colorado, and Kansas State.
To pay for the telecasts Reck said they would ask for contributions from KU students, alumni and friends of the University.
"From early indications received Monday night, the student body is entirely behind the plan and many houses have already voted to subscribe $1 per member." Reck said. "This in itself will go a long way in starting the drive."
"We feel that it is up to the students to really put the idea across." Cooke said. "We don't anticipate any difficulty in obtaining the funds because of the obvious benefit to everyone in this area."
Up To The Students
The group decided to incorpo rate when they found out yesterday that the television code would not permit viewers to pay for watching the telecasts.
Scott Dole, Pratt sophomore, and Howard M. Johnson, Topeka sophomore, have been appointed to collect funds from men's organized houses. Nancy Parker, Bartlesville, Okla, sophomore, is in charge of collecting from women's organized houses.
Need For Organization
Cooke and Reck stressed the need for organization on the project and extended an invitation to any KU student who wants to help to telephone them as soon as possible.
"If the plan is carried out successfully, we hope to be able to spread the television coverage to football next year and perhaps even telewise the KU Relays," Cooke said.
