Spot excites sports adviser
Nancy Hovater, newly appointed academic coordinator, wants to bridge the gap between athletics and academics. Hovater will oversee athletes' academics and enrollment.
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Reporter
One word best describes Nancy Hovater's feelings about her new job as the academic coordinator for an athletic department. Enthusiastic.
And Lonny Rose, an assistant athletic director, said, "One of her most important qualities is her enthusiasm."
"I're really excited about it," Hovarier said yesterday. "It's the pinnacle of my career. This is the best job in training as a special need for a long time."
"It is something I want to do," she said, "but in a sense I'm a bridge."
HOVARTER SAID HE new position was the culmination of all she had learned.
It is something I wish to do," site said, "but in a sense, I am a bridge." Because she combines her experience as an instructor and her love for academics with her interest in sports, Hovater said, she will provide a bridge between the athletic and the academic departments.
Hovater said that, by hiring her and a new assistant athletic director, the athletic department had made a difference. "He was the best person he or she could be."
"As a historian, I know humankind is dismal," she said. "I am aware of reality and the commitment here to the excellence of the individual."
"Potentially, student athletics are the best students we have. Who else can spend 30 to 40 hours a week with a skill and can react so quickly?"
"THIS IS MY belief without any hesitation. Anyone intelligent enough to play a sport is intelligent enough to get a degree."
A person has to be brilliant to jump in the air, shoot a basket and decide to change directions in a split second, she said. Psychological studies have shown a correlation between coordination and intelligence.
The athletic department is now organizing the new academic support program, but Hovatter said it was not the case of the specifics and discuss the details.
"I think we all have to be very
patient," she said. "Let this thing grow.
"What we're trying to do with student athletes is what every student should do. The push — for all students, not just athletes — has been just to get the grades and the degree."
ROSE SAID THAT one of the primary reasons Haverton had been selected was her experience 25 years of academic experience and her deal
Howard has a doctorate degree in higher education from Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. She said she has been learning to impress others to learn.
And that's what she wants to do, she said. She has taught history, in which she has her master's degree, and has been the athletic coordinator for
women's athletics at Spaulding College in Louisville, Ky., and St. Benedict' a College in Ferdinand, Ind.
Richard Lee, the new assistant athletic director and Hovarter's supervisor, said, "In addition to being a very knowledgeable faculty member and educator, she has an experience as director of Supportive Educational Services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The University has a commitment to excellence in all of its programs, she said, not just the athletic department.
Hovartier said her energy stemmed from her enthusiasm about the 1950s. "I was very young," she said.
What is exciting about KU is not what it is wrong. Haverari said, "but we are excited."
Kansans from both parties praise Dole for Senate win
By United Press International
Kansas leaders from both parties yesterday congratulated Sen. Robert Dole on his election to Senate major leader, a position they said would give Kansas more clout in governing the nation.
Gov. John Carlin, a Democrat who recently announced he would not be running for the Republican senator's seat, said he looked forward to working on issues with Dole from Carlin's position as chairman of the National Governors' Association.
"Senator Dole and I share concerns about many of those issues, especially those regarding the nation's deficit." Carlin said. "I believe it is a plus for Kansas that one of our senators will be guiding the Senate as decisions are made that affect the economic well-being and the future of our country."
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum,
R-Kan., took part in the Republi-
can senators' bitter four-ballot,
would contest for the majority
leader's seat.
"IT WAS A close call, but I don't think anybody thought it was going to be a breeze," she said. "There's certainly going to be fireworks on the Senate floor at times. But Bob's not a shrinking violet."
In her analysis of the voting, Kassebaum said the senators were saying that they thought Dole had the strength and ability to handle the crisis and to protect the 22 senators who be up for re-election in 1986.
"I tend to think that probably was a real selling point," she said, "because there's great admiration for Bob Dole and his ability. There might be people who gnash their teeth on occasion, but they also have confidence in his ability."
Kassebaum said Dole also had the ability to deal effectively with the Democrats and with the House.
WHILE ALSO CONGRATULATION Dole, Rep. G Danick McKenna D Klan, was thinking about 122 MP seats up for re-election in 1986.
"I'd say it is a darn good job for two years," Glickman said. "We don't know how long the Republic are going to keep the Senate."
Dole's fellow Republican, former Gov. Robert Bennett, said Dole's victory meant great things for the country and Kansas.
"I think Bob Dole has grown tremendously in his job in the last six to 10 years and has definitely strengthened his partnership," Bennett said, "and he's
displayed an ability toward moderation. And I think that's an essential ingredient for leadership.
"I THINK AS far as Kansas is concerned, it's good too because, first of all, it gives Kansas continued recognition in the leadership role it has played through people like Bob Dole. It never was a problem for us in these areas in a position of leadership. It seems to do things for your state that minority representatives and back benchers can't do."
McDill "Huck" Boyd, nationa,
GOP committeeman and a Philip-
sburg publisher, called Dole's
a "tremendous plus for the
state."
"This is one of the most powerful posts in the nation and indeed one of the most powerful posts in the world," said Boyd, who first urged him in 1986 to run for the Senate seat vowed by former Sen. Frank Carlson.
"WHEN A MAN sits in a leadership position of that type and things come along and affects our area or region, he's in a position to see that at least Kansas is given the consideration it should have. In addition to that, of course, you have the vantage point in shaping the philosophy that guides this country."

HUTCHNSON — A Reno County judge yesterday ordered a teen-ager to stand trial in the shoqun slayings of 2-year-old twins and their teenage baby sister.
After a 2½-day preliminary hearing, Associate District Judge Steven Becker ruled that prosecutors pre-requisite jurors must have Arnold Rublee Jr., 18, to trial.
three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated kidnapping.
"There is probable cause to believe that Arnold Ruebke Jr. committed the crime." Becker said.
Ruebke's lawyer, Richard Rome,
said he would ask the court to postpone the arraignment.
Ruebeck is accused of killing Andrew and James Vogelsam, both 2, and their 18-year-old baby sister, Tammy Mooney of Arlington, near the Vogelsam house in Arlington on Oct. 29.
After Becker's order, the twins mother, Debbie Vogelsang, said, "I think justice is well on its way to being made happy with the way it's being handled."
Becker set arrangement for Monday, when Ruebke is expected to enter a plea. Ruebke is charged with
the lack of evidence pointing to a clear motive for the killings.
"I don't think I'll ever rest until I know a motive — if I could just know why," she said.
Ruebke's preliminary hearing started Monday and ended yesterday morning with closing arguments from both sides. During the hearing, witnesses testified that Ruebke, who moved from Arlington to Kingman on Oct. 29, had given the victims a ride in his car the day they were killed.
Vogelsang said she was haunted by
"He was heading west out of town to do one thing," Frank Meisenheimer, assistant Reno County attorney, said during closing arguments. "He was taking them out there, and he was going to kill them."
