Seven football players lose eligibility
By BRENDA STOCKMAN Staff Manager
Staff Reporter
Seven KU football players — including six key defensive players — didn't play in Saturday's game because their academic diploma did not meet the game requirement assistant athlete director said.
The eligibility status of the players remains uncertain. The sports information section of ESPN.com has a lot to say.
Lanny Rose, the assistant director, said that certification of eligibility was delayed by paperwork that could not be completed before spring. Rose said she may not be certified this season. Rose said.
The seven players declared academically ineligible this weekend brings the total to 11. Four players were declared ineligible in August.
SIX OF THE PLAYERS late Friday were declared temporarily academically ineligible, said Doug Vance, director of the sports information office. A seventh player was declared temporarily ineligible Saturday before being the KU-Wichita State University game.
Rose said, "Generally speaking, the process is very long and requires lots of steps and paperwork. It's just the way the system works."
Certification can be delayed by grades from summer courses, correspondence courses, grade appeals, teachers' failure to transfer grades from other schools, he said.
The process for certification begins, he said, when the athletic department submits the list of athletes to the office of admissions and records. From there, the two offices
work together to determine the eligibility of athletes.
**notes:**
THE SEVEN PLAYERS who were declared to be ineligible for Saturday's game were:
*Steve Nave. Coffeyville junior and defensive guard. He was listed as a starter on this week's depth chart.*
*Darnell Williams, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore and linebacker He also was listed as a starter.
- Eldridge Avery, Los Angeles sophomore and defensive guard. He was listed as a back up to Nave this week.
- Dane Griffin, Lawrence junior and linebacker. He was listed on the second string.
*Joe Masaniai, Honolulu senior and defensive tackle. He was listed on the second string.*
- Derek Berry, East St. Louis, Ill. sophomore and free safety. He was listed on the third team this week.
- John Brunet, Fremont, Calif., junior and quarterback. He was not listed on the depth chart.
Head football coach Mike Gottfred said after the game that it was inappropriate to comment on the players' academic status and their permanent eligibility was determined.
Walter Crockett, a member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and professor of psychology, said, "I'm sorry it happened. I think that's a shame that they lost so many players they were counting on. On the other hand, I'm kind of proud of the University for insisting people keep up with their classwork."

Playing under the cloud of possible academic ineligibility for six defensive players, the KU football team used a pawtowatch defense and a career-best 150 rushing yards from Robert Mimbs to defeat Wichita State Saturday in Kansas Memorial Stadium.

Even without the six players, two of whom were starters, the KU defense limited the Shockers to 188 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, the Kansas offense kept Michaels state off guard by cutting down on his passing use of a running attack led by Mimbs.

"THE THING YOU worry about is our leadership," KU head coach Mike Gottfred said after the game. "We played very few seniors today, and a lot of young players. Rick Bredesen started his first college football game today and he didn't even play linebacker in high school. He was a running back."
The six defensive players who were not allowed to play Saturday — linebackers Darnell Williams and Dane Griffin, defensive linemen SteveNavie, Eldridge Avery and Joe Masaniam and safety Derok Berry — are all in a response concerning their eligibility.

New rivalry yet to evolve into fan feud
By JOHN EGAN Staff Reporter
For years, KU's arch-rivalry with Kansas State University — a long-time tead brand with Snob Hill vs. Silo Tech jokes — has sparked sharp jabs among alumni and students from the two schools.
But so far, few jokes have evolved from another, much younger cross-stress rivalry: the University of Kansas and Wichita State University.
On the football field, KU and Wichita State had met only six times before Saturday. KU has won four of those contests.

little fanfare in a game that one Wichita State
fumbled the "Probation Bowl."
A few yellow-and-black Wichita State hats and T-shirts cropped up, and a small section of Shockers fans rooted their team on. But in the KU season opener, KU and Wichita State fans didn't seem too charged up. Many of them played the game at least 15 minutes before ended.
Under a cloudless sky on the hill near Memorial Stadium, KU and Wichita State fans alike seemed to pay more attention to beer and cackles than cheer and tackles.
"There's more of a rivalry in basketball last year's game especially," he said.
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT Wichita State," Jeff Hankins, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said minutes after Wichita State scored its only touchdown of the day.
His friend, Roger Stires, Hill City sophomore, said. "The rivalty's definitely between the two."
Nonetheless, many Wichita State fans — who witnessed a 57-6 loss to KU last season — stood up for their team by making the trek to Lawrence.
"If we'd have won our opener, there'd be a lot more," said Ron Welliver, a Wichita State alumnus from Wichita. Wichita State lost its game to Southwest Texas State. 38-31
Wellver was one of a group of 13 Wichitans that made the trip. The group drove to Lawrence in a five-vehicle caravan, including a van that was marked with a phone number, "Shocker Fan Fun Van." The fans planned to spend Saturday at a local hotel.
ALTHOUGH THE GROUP traveled 162 miles to cheer its team against KU. Wellervil said healthier rivalries existed in Utah and Missouri, its Missouri Valley Conference opponents.
He said he hoped that a good rivalry would develop between the two Kansas schools
However, KU and Wichita State are not scheduled to compete in football next season.
Just before walking to the stadium, Weller said: "It won't be an entirely wasted
Student jobs open, employers say

Several employers in Lawrence, including officials at the University of Kansas, are scratching their heads and wondering whether folks really are better off than they were a year ago.
The student employment division of the office of financial aid has a surplus on on- and off-camps, work-study and hourly wage jobs available, said Pam Houston, coordinator of student employment and assistant director of financial aid.
The employers aren't sure whether it's financial security or scheduling problems, but KU students aren't grabbing up jobs the way they did at this time last year.
"KIND OF amazed." Houston said. "It seems we're advertising the same number of jobs as last year, but there seem to be fewer apprentices."
Through the office of financial aid on campus employers and many off campus employees list job openings for college boards. Send your resume to Strong Hall. Hourly as well as work study jobs are listed
"I don't know if they've decided not to work or are just waiting."
individual students in specific jobs, Houston said.
The office of financial aid doesn't place
THE NUMBER OF students eligible for work-study jobs this year is about the same as last year. Houston said. Although the amount of funds set aside by the government for work-study wages is down significantly from last year, departments are aware of this and have advertised only positions they can afford.
Students' eligibility for work-study employment is determined by family income, and 80 percent of work-study wages are paid by the federal government. The employing department pays the other 20 percent. Hourly job wages are paid solely by the employer.
"I don't have any specific figures because we don't place people." Houston said. "But I have had several employers call me back to see if the openings have even been posted.
"I have been getting desperate cries from numerous departments to send work-study students. But I haven't been seeing the work-study people to send."
"There's always a problem getting work-study jobs filled right away, but it has been particularly difficult this year," she said "In our campus clinical jobs and off campus jobs."
THE COMPUTER SCIENCE department has filled its two workstudy openings but
had only three applicants, said Carmela
Sibes, department office manager.
I can't speak for last year, because I didn't do the hiring then. But two or three years ago we had a steady stream of people walking in to ask about the jobs." she said.
"We used to have enough apply that we could have the pick of a pool."
Sibley called the change from two years ago "dramatic."
She said she didn't know whether students were receiving more scholarships or finding jobs.
Sibley said she thought the requirements for work-study eligibility kept many away
"A lot of kids cannot get on work-study because of the financial requirements," she said. "On paper, their parents make too much money."
A WORK-STUDY OPENING for an office helper in the department of music is still unfilled.
"Part of it may be that we didn't get it on the board in time," said Mary Cade, secretary in the music office. "But there hasn't been that much response."
Response has been slow for openings at the law school, too.
"We had an opening for a building helper.

Local Republican leaders reply to Reagan's critics
Local Republican Party leaders used last night's opening of their headquarters to answer the Democratic Party's criticism of President Reagan — and to counter with charges of their own.
Staff Reporter
Jim Van Sklye, Republican candidate for the 2nd District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, told the crowd of about 100 supporters at the Douglas County Republican Headquarters, 1601 W. 23rd St., that the Republican Party excited young people now the way the Democratic Party did a decade ago.
"YOU USED TO HEAR that students would start out as Democrats," he said. "Now we have them starting out as Republicans because they see the opportunity, and they see that the Republican Party is the party that's offering new ideas and ideas for the future."

Galyard said students perceived that it was those policies that had improved the economy and given them hope for the future.
"YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY feel that there are doors open for them," he said. "When they graduate, they are getting interviews, and there are jobs and positions that they can go to, instead of a dead-end street."
