Old-timers converge on Quigley
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
Thirty-nine former Jayhawk players will converge on Quigley Field this afternoon for the 5th annual KU old-timers baseball game.
The action starts at 1 p.m. with a five-inning game between two teams of "vintage" old-timers. After that, the current KU team will play a team of recent KU players.
Two of the players on the team, Mark Gile and Joe Heeney, are currently playing professional ball. Three others, Ron MacDonald, Lee Ice, and Mr. Kratki, have professional experience. Also former All-Big Eight guard Kirk Kall, former All-Big Eight conference safety for the Jayhawks, who played professionally for the Minnesota Vikings.
While the game between the recent KU players and the current KU team should be highly competitive, the vintage old-timers game is typically a loose, carefree affair.
"It's a bunch of old men having a lot of fun," said Jim Trombold, a 1958 graduate who will play on the white team in today's vintage game. "A bunch of old men who haven't grown up yet."
Trombolb and his brother John, an All-American at KU in 1954, originated the idea of having an old-tumers game in conjunction with the reunion of KU athletic lettermen that is held each year.
Trombold, now a physician in Seattle, will be on the opposite side of the field from his brother and their 86 year old father, George, in today's game.
"There's been some good baseball and a lot of laughs." Trombold said of the past old-timers games, each of which he has attended. "It's also generated some interest in the baseball program."
After last year's game, enough former Jayhawks contributed to the program to put a new board fence around Quigley Field.

By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Detroit Tigers, refusing to quit when golden-armed reliever Willie Hernandez failed them, got a two-run double from John Grubb in the 11th inning last night and defeated the Kansas City Royals 5-3 in the second game of the American League Championship Series.
The Tigers, 2-0, moved to within one victory of their first pennant in 16 years.
After a travel day Thursday, the series switches to Detroit for Friday night's third game. Milwilcow will attempt to wrap up the best-of-five series for the Tigers. Mark Gubicza will pitch for the Royals.

LANCE PARRISH STARTED THE 11th inning uprising against losing reliever Dan Quisenberry by singling sharply off the glove of third baseman Greg Pryor.

Cubs need one more for pennant
By United Press International
CHICAGO — With Bob Dernier making San Diego look like an overwhelmed traffic cop, the Chicago Cubs brushed aside the Padres 4-2 yesterday and raced to a 2-0 lead in the National League playoffs.
No National League team has ever lost the first two games and rebounded to win the next three in a playoff series.
Dernier created two runs with his speed and Steve Trout kept San Diego's offense in the starting block, pulling the Cubs within one victory of their first pennant since 1945.
They can wrap up the best of five series Thursday night in San Diego with Dennis Eckersley, 10-8, facing the Padres' Ed Whitson, 14-8.
"Our plan is to try to produce runs early and get our starters the lead." said Dernier. "If we can get runs early, it makes things a heckuva lot easier for our starters."
Gary Matthews and Ron Cey each produced his 13th career playoff RBI. Jody Davis and Ryne Sandberg also drove in runs for the Cubs before a highly enthusiastic crowd of 36,282
Trout, a 27-year-old left-hander who went 13-7 with a 3.41 ERA this season, allowed only a fourth inning
Derner set up Chicago's first run with a dash from first to third on an infield out in the first innning. He made it in the fourth with a stolen base.
sacrifice fly by Kevin McReynolds and a sixth inning RBI single by Steve Garvey.
"Even though we are pictured as a power team, playing in Wrigley Field, the starting pitching was our strong point in the second half of the game," Frey said. "The startning pitcher is the one guy who can dominate a game."
Trout went $8\frac{1}{2}$ innings and left after walking McReynolds with one out in the ninth. He allowed five hits, walked three and struck out two. Lee Smith relieved and earned the save.
"I consider it one of the bigger games I ever pitched in," said Trout, whose father Dizzy Trout pitched against the 1945 Cubs for Detroit in the World Series.
Ex-Chiefs' aide now at KU
By the Kansan staff
Bud Carson, who resigned as defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs on Aug. 13, began work as a volunteer assistant coach for the Kansas football team yesterday.
KU head coach Mike Gottfried said yesterday that Carson took the job after being contacted by KU assistant coach Bob Valesente, who coached in Carson in the National Football League with the Baltimore Colts.
Gottried said that Carson would spend his first few days learning KU's offensive and defensive systems.
Gottried said that Mike Norseth would probably start at quarterback Saturday against Iowa State, but that he would talk with him before deciding to quarterback coach, before deeding between Norseth and Mike Orth.
The Jabhawks' injury situation improved this week, although freshman linebacker Kelly Deer will be out for the season with a knee injury. Deer suffered the injury in Monday night's junior varsity game against Haskell Indian Junior College.
Gottfried said that fullback Mark Henderson "looks like he should play this week" after sitting out the past three games with a knee injury.

RIGHT TO REFERENDUM
YELLOW JOURNALISM?
YOU DECIDE
Since it has a monopoly on news on campus, I have a strong personal interest in the reporting of the University Daily Kansan. I am given no choice in whether I subscribe or not, so I expect to receive unbiased accounts of full coverage. Recently, I took an interest in the GLSOK referendum issue, not out of support or contempt for a group promoting homosexuality, but out of concern for my freedom of choice through referendum. What I feel to be a lack of integrity on the part of the UDK, has become unbearable in the reporting of the GLSOK referendum petition and related issues.
If the UDK had inquired about the T-shirts as I did, they would have gotten the entire story and could have presented an unbiased view instead of sensationalizing the issue. The article had column after column on the ridiculous, empty, legal threats, and did not point out parody is a normal mode for freedom of expression. I feel that the T-shirts are valid and it is misleading, biased and unprofessional reporting of John Hanna that is offensive. The primary issues are as follows:
one primary issues are as follows:
The forksystem Tickler
- The last Senate Elections committee meeting on the referendum
- The fagbuster T-shirt parody
- The excuse the committee used to reject the petition in its recommendation
the referendum
FAGBUSTER T-SHIRTS
Regarding the T-shirt issue, note first that the "fagbuster" T-shirts bear a close resemblance to the anti-preppie buttons, stamps and T-shirts available not long ago. The T-shirts contained an Izod Lacoste trademark alligator in a circle with a bar through it. I don't recall outrage expressed by the UDK at that time, although they obviously promoted an anti-Greek sentiment. According to the author of the fagbuster T-shirts, the purpose is threefold:
- To illustrate to GLSOK the harassment many feel over "Wear Jeans if You're Gay Day."
- To express the valid political sentiment that sexual deviants are not a specific minority deserving protection under affirmative action.
- As a legally valid parody which many if not the majority of students find amusing and unoffensive.
If the UDK had sought this information instead of trying to sensationalize the issue with would-be "investigative reportings", a different unbiased coverage could have been presented. If parody was against the law, then the crew of Saturday Night Live would be in a lot of trouble.
THE SENATE ELECTIONS COMMITTEF
Particularly of concern was that an important point was inside by a spectator in support of the referendum that no one present was willing to confront. The point made and ignored by the committee was that Imber did not single out GLSOK. Carla Vogel,the student body president, did. The Senate Finance Committee had examined the budget and the student organization. The committee concluded the belief echoed on the petition later that GLSOK is a self-supporting organization and should therefore not receive funds. Our president. Carla Vogel, biased the final Senate decision with a veto threat obtaining special treatment for GLSOK. Thus Imber is not the one who discriminated on the basis of sexual preference and the petition is clearly not discriminatory under present Affirmative Action policy.
THE SEXUAL PREFERENCE CLAUSE
The excuse the Committee used to make its recommendation was the "sexual preference" clause in the Affirmative Action policy of this University. New questions arise at this point.* Who took upon

themselves to "improve" upon the wording of our federal legislators?
- Why was this alteration of such an important policy with the unresolved political issue not front page news in the UDK?
A point should be made about the sexual preference clause which at first glance might seem innocent enough. This clause protects the right of any sexual deviant to express his private life in public and retain his employment. Fact is that the "sexual preference" clause protects the flaunting privileges of the practitioners of sadomasochism and beastiality as well as homosexuality. Thus homosexuals prefer the term "gay" because it plays down the true nature of their minority.
CONCLUSION
Regardless of whether you support the petition or not, you have to respect its validity. The petition contained 2,578 signatures. Imber's being only one of many. The petition was also written six months ago, before any fagbuster T-shirts appeared on campus. If the Student Senate invalidates the petition, it will be violating its own Senate Code. How can the Student Senate speak out for the other 2,578 students who signed the petition? Furthermore, we do live in a democracy and every individual should have the right to speak out or vote as he or she chooses. If Student Senators do not agree with the petition, they should vote against it as students in a campus-wide vote—NOT INVALIDATE it because they simply don't agree with the petition. THE STUDENT SENATE is supposed to set a proper example of qualified student government. If the Student Senate does not follow its own rules and codes, why then, should students of this university follow them? Again it should be stated, the petition was created so that the students would be given the right to choose whether such a controversial organization as GLSOK should be funded particularly by special privilege.
