Coach Marian Washington is expecting great things from the women's basketball team this season.
Women's Basketball
Kansas goes into the 1990-91 season picked to finish fourth in the Big Eight. Washington said that although the team was relatively young with only one senior, Sandra deBruin, she was a key player to be competitive this season.
"I have a lot of players who know what they're doing, and that they're nice. Washington said, "I think they are better 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 waiver, who will play Nov 2425 at the SEC Championship. All three teams were ranked in the
top 25 last year, Washington said.

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 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 Alabama State, Kansas State and Missouri in that order.
Washington said that point guard Liz Smith was a strength for Oklahoma State and the experience and maturity of K-State's team, which has been playing together years, would give the Wilcoxs a boost.
a loos. "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,
Terrilyn Johnson, Marthea McCloub 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 that will carry over."
Washington said the experience could help the Big Eight in its recruiting efforts.
Also returning for Kansas are junior guard Kay Kary Hap, sophomore forward Tavares Hempel, junior guards. Stacy Truitt, Shannon Kite and Jolo Witherspoon.
New faces to the women's basketball team include junior guard Darci Bieber, who transferred from Johnson County Community College; sophomore center Lisa Tsa Fu; junior center Daniel Poston 40; and freshman guard Eric Muncy, a basketball and track star from Lexington, Ky.
Washington said the Kansas women's basketball team would conduct an open locker room policy this season.
Another change in the team involves all the players.
She said that interviews would normally be in the press room, but in that 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.
"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."
Seven players and two former players will be recognized at Saturday's game against Colorado for their academic achievements. Senior Sandra deBrun, juniya Tanya Bonham, Terri Bemil, Katherine Shareef and Kay Kary 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
Arnold and Elizabeth Roark were also named Jayhawk Scholars.
On the other side of the coin, a Kansas signee, Tawana Jackson, a three-time Parade All-American who was one of the most highly ranked football players 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 the team had three 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 and maintaining the minimum GPA.
The Big Eight minimum GPA is 1.6, but Konzem the requirement varied from conference to conference. He said that once the athlete passed 60 credit hours, the standard increased.
Konzem said the NCAA was currently considering implementing a minimum GPA 2.0 as its standard for all conferences.

Center offers art instruction

The center has been offering classes for about 17 years. Lisa-Marie Rouseau, the center's education program director, said Lawrence's abundance of artists was a definite benefit for the center and its classes.
Drawing from Lawrence's pool of accomplished artists, the Lawrence Arts Center offers instruction in everything from painting to yoga.
"Some places in other cities can't offer as many classes because they don't have as many area artists to teach them. The girls grown enormously. It started with a

Now there a full-time staff of five
and 60 of teachers."
"Some classes we always offer, such as ceramics." Rousseau said. "But we're always introducing new classes, like scupely and printmaking, and new workshops for adults and kids."
Brochures list each term's classes are distributed before classes begin. Rousseau said. People can enroll using the form on the back of the brochure, by emailing it in or bringing it to the center.
The sculpture class, which is new to the center, uses brightly-colored plastic modeling material for sculpture. The substance is different from clay because it can be baked in a kitchen oven.
Upcoming workshops at the center include a Nov. 10 session on architectural photography.
Lynne Green, director of Artists
En Masse, an art gallery at 803' Massachusetts St., will conduct a workshop at 8 onight at the center as part of the "Artist Survival Series"
"It is kind of a how to workshop," Green said. "What to bring, what to wear. What to make. Give them some good basics on how to market. In school, they work on perfecting their craft. The actual world experience is what the art teacher wants."
Green said her workshop would help teach art students and amateur artists how to market their work. The cost of the workshop is $7.
Fees for the center's eight-week classes range from $20 to $40, and are due in enrolment. Not all materials are included in the fees.
"Scholarships are available," Rousseau said. "If they aren't able to pay it all up front, we try to arrange a schedule. We work with people."
