Women's team young but confident, Washington says

Coach Marian Washington is expecting great things from the women's basketball team this season.
Women's Basketball
Kansas goes into the 99-11 season picked to finish fourth in the Big Eight. Washington said that although the team was relatively young with only one senior, Sandra deBruno, she is capable of being competitive this season.
"I have a lot of players who know what they're doing, and that they're nice. Washington said, "I think we are going to be stronger, but we are still young."
"We're going to open up with a real tough schedule. At the end of the year, we have to demonstrate that we can play a tough schedule."
Kansas opens the season Nov. 15 with an exhibition game at home against the Australian Junior National team.
Kansas' first NCAA opponents will be UCLA, Louisiana State and Iowa, who they will play Nov. 16. Louisiana City, Iowa City, All three teams were ranked in the
top 25 last year, Washington said.
top 25 last year, Washington state
Kansas will begin conference play
Jan. 9 in Lawrence against Oklahoma
Last March, the University of Oklahoma decided to discontinue its women's basketball program because of financial problems and lack of support from the students and university.
The program was reinstated April 4 after mounting public criticism and legal threats from the team forced university officials to reconsider.
"I hope no one ever forgets the the Oklahoma situation," Washington said. "Right now they are ranked eight (in the Big Eight Conference) but talent-wise they have some great athletes."
Picked to finish ahead of Kansas are Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Missouri in that order.
Washington said that point guard Liz Smith was a strength for Oklahoma State and that the experience and maturity of K-State's team, which has been playing together for three years, would give the Wildcats a lead.
"After that I think it's going to be interesting." Washington said. "We have more confidence."
Ten letter winners return to the lineup this season including deBruin and junior forwards Tanya Bonham,
Terriyl Johnson, Martheen McCloud and Danielle Shareef, Shareef also played with the traveling Big Eight team this summer.
"I think it increased my confidence," Shareef said. "They are very physical and I think that is something will but carry over."
Washington said the experience could help the Big Eight in its recruiting efforts.
Also returning for Kansas is junior guard Kay Kay Hart, sophomore forward Misti Chennault and junior forward Emiliano Bustos. Shannon Kite and Jake Witherons.
New faces to the women's basketball team include junior guard Darci Bieber, who transferred from Johnson County Community College; sophomore center Lisa Tate, who out last season included 88; 48; and sophomore center Ericka Muney, a basketball and track star from Lexington, Ky.
Another change in the team involves all the players.
Washington said the Kansas women's basketball team would conduct an open locker room policy this season.
She said that interviews would normally be in the press room, but that in the event they should set up in the room, it would be open to all reporters.
Kansas balances athletics, grades

Academics and athletics are a big part of the Kansas women's basketball team, coach Marian Washington said yesterday at the annual Media Day at Allen Field House.
Washington said she thought Kansas was doing a good job with its athletic/academic program.
Seven players and two former players will be recognized at Saturday's football game against Colorado for their academic achievements. Senior Sandra deBrun, junior Tanya Bonham, Terrilyn Johnson, Christopher Shareef, and Kay K Hart, and sophomore Misti Chenault will receive the Jayhawk Scholar Award for earning the minimum of a 3.0 GPA last semester. Former players Michelle
"In terms of the academic base program, no program in the United States is doing what we're doing." she said. "We are going to provide the support that most of these young people need."
Arnold and Elizabeth Roark were also named Jayhawk Scholars.
On the other side of the coin, a Kansas signeer, Tawana Jackson, a three-time Parade All-American who was one of the most highly regarded athletes in country, left Kansas last week under the effects of Proposition 42.
Proposition 42 states that an athlete is either a qualifier or a non-qualifier with a minimum high school GPA of 2.0 and a minimum SAT score of 700 and ACT score of 18. It replaced Proposition 48 at the 1989 NCAA convention and went into effect this August.
Under Proposition 48, if the athlete had been a partial qualifier, meaning he or she had met only one of the requirements, the athlete would be eligible for an athletic scholarship even though ineligible to participate in the sport for one year.
Richard Konzem, assistant athletic director and NCAA representative, said that under Pressure 2013, he added the standards, qualifier, partial qualifier and
non-qualifier. An athlete could be a partial qualifier by meeting only one of the academic requirements.
"Proposition 42 eliminated the partial qualifier status such that non-qualifiers could not get athletic scholarships." Konzem said. "The NCAA amended Prop 42 so that non-qualifiers could not have athletic scholarships but can apply for need-based financial aid."
Washington said that Jackson was a partial qualifier. Her GPA met the requirement, but her test scores did not.
Under Proposition 42, the athlete may regain eligibility only after passing 24 credit hours at the minimum in maintaining the minimum GPA.
The Big Eight minimum GPA is 1.6, but Konzem required the变量 varied from conference to conference. He said that once the athlete passed 60 credit hours, the standard increased.
Waterski Club places 10th at 12-team national meet
Konzem said the NCAA was currently considering implementing a minimum GPA 2.0 as its standard for all conferences.

Thugs are a hit in gangster films

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — This is the season of the thug in movie theaters across the country.
Gangster films have always been popular, but a whole new crop has come out this summer and fall, including the excellent "GoodFellas," from Martin Scorsese; the appealing "The Freshman," *starring Marlon Brando*; the bloody "State of Grace," which examines the Irish criminals in a Crossing"; and derivative period piece from the Coen brothers.
And Corleone fans around the world eagerly await the Christmas release of "The Godfather, Part III." If the gangster bites hard this
fall, there are plenty of remedies at your local video store. Here is a list of some of what's available on the home market:
"Across 110th Street" (1972): Gang warfare between White and Black versions of the Mafia. Pretty much Anthony Quinn and Yaphe Kotto.
"Al Capone" (1959): Rod Steiger's penetrating portrait of the Chicago gangster. In black and white with a narrative.
"Angela With Dirty Faces"
(1938) When they're bad, they're very, very bad with James Cagney leading the pack. And when they're good, they're Pat O'Brien as a priest.
"The Big Combo" (1953) A film
nor flick starring Cornel Wide as a violent cop in pursuit of gangsters
* Black Caesar* '1973) *Blaxploitation yarn with Pred Wladson*
"Bonnie and Clyde" (1967). An excellent blend of mahem, blood, sex, comedy and sociology, and the that made Faye Dinaway a star.
- "Dillinger" (1945): The life and times of John Dillinger with Lawrence Tormey in the title role
Lawrence Tierney in the title role. He is survived by two nieces not to like Dorine Corneille and friends. The Academy Award-winner that's worth watching dozens of times.
"The Godfather, Part II" (1974). Part II is just as good as the original.
"The Godfather Epic" (1977): A compilation of the two movies with extra footage. A gem.
"Once Upon a Time in America"
(1804): A gangster epic from Sergio Leone with Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovett. The long version — 225 minutes — and have a video feast. The short version — 125 minutes — spans is OK, but not as appetizing.
"Public Enemy (1803)" An a nar-
- "Public Enemy" (1831): A sailing Cagney, with Jean Harlow, Mae Clarke and grapefruit.
"Verne Miller" (1988); Al Capone's City Kansas massacre. Stars Scott Glenn. Well done on a low rate and historically accurate score.
