University Daily Kansan / Thursday. October 18, 1990 Sports 9 Women's team young but confident, Washington says By Juli Watkins Kansan sportswriter 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 is to compete this season. "I have a lot of players who know what they're doing, and that's really nice. Washington said, "I think they are 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. 22 at Oklahoma State. Iowa all three teams were ranked in the top 25 last year, Washington said. top 25 law school 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 Oklahoma situation." Washington said. "Right now they're ranked eighth (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 that the experience and maturity of K-State's team, which has been playing together for three years, would give the Wildcats a boss. "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, Washington said the experience could help the Big Eight in its recruiting efforts Terrilyn Johnson, Marthea McCloud and Danielle Shareef. Shareef also played with the traveling Big Eight team this summer. Also returning for Kansas is junior guard Kay Kay Hart, sophomore forward Misti Chennault and junior guard Erik Hale, Shannon Kite and Jake Witherspoon. "I think it increased my confidence," Shareef said. "They are very physical and I think that is something that will carry over." New faces to the women's basketball team include junior guard Darcie Bieber, who transferred from Johnson County Community College; sophomore center Lisa Tate, who sat out last season under Prince Guard 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 Kansan sportswriter 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. By Juli Watkins "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 football game against Colorado for their academic achievements. Senior Sandra deBruni, juniors Tony Bonham, Terrilyn Johnson, Martheen Jackson, Kathleen Kai Hurt, and sophomore Misti Chennault 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 signeer, Tawana Jackson, a three-time Parade All-American who was one of the most highly successful 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 Proposition 47, the University must qualify, 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.

Director Jim Abrahams scored big a couple years ago with "Naked Gimp," but this flick tries to be both satire and a drama, succeeding on neither one.

Daniels seems hopelessly lost, and even the multitainted Ryder fails to make much of an impression. She had to turn down a part in "Godfather III" after "Welcome Home" tired her out. And that is the biggest bummer of all. UNITED ARTISTS This war movie is about a World War II stationed squadron in Englewood, N.J., and 24 missions without a casualty. One more mission will complete the men's four of duty, and they will be out for another mission. That is, if they make it back alive. Matthew Modine plays the leader of the mismatched squadron and plot of the Belle. He functions more than an authoritative commander. The men fly to their destiny in the plane, "Memphis Belle," named by their squad leader after a girlfriend in Memphis. Roxie has been gone for 15 years because all the people in Clyde wear polyester and have little ceramic shoes. I will wear these shoes at all of Roxie, whose face you never see, skinny dips while listening to classical music and keeps pictures of her old home under her silk lingerie — just so people know she's beautiful. - Bryce J.

Kristine Curley, Special to the Korean HILLCREST 9th A Iowa 842-8400 Anyhow, all these people are waiting for Roxy Carmichael, this ultra-rich and semi-famous chick to return to their hometown of Clyde, Ohio. Everyone loves Roxy because her house is pink or something. Connick, recognized more for his piano playing and musical compositions, as in the movie "When Harry Wrote," he can be able to combine his talents. His credible debat as an actor is not overshadowed by his spectacular performances. Winna Rydy plays Dinky, Jinky Daniels also stars, but he does not play the surfer-looking duke Daniels is just a gardener I do not know who the surfer is, but he has gaps between his teeth. DICK TRACY (PG) EVE 7.00 2.30 SUN 5:30 ARACHNIPHOBIA (PG-13) EVE 7.15 1.15 SUN 8:45 The movie also features promising performances from John Lithgow and Harry Connick Jr. Lithgow is an unfeeling, pasty public relations liaison, concerned more with getting a grip on his fans's feelings about their mission. You see, she never comb her hair, and everyone thinks she is a nut. There is this one sensitive guy trapped in a surfer's body who hates her, but he is afraid to say anything because his friends would laugh REVIEWS Eric Stoltz plays a sensitive, Irish boy. His poetry reading and photographic escapades unite the group. Whereas Modine is the group's assigned leader, making decisions for them; Stoltz serves as the spiritual leader, easing his flying companions' fears. Dinky Bossetti is sad not because her name is really dumb and not because she is trapped in "Welcome Home. Roxy Carmichael," a remarkably mediocre movie, but because no one likes her.
