national competition in 1982 and 1983. In 1982, she was the captain of a U.S. team that defeated the Soviet national team for the first time since 1958. She was also captain of U.S. that finished second at the World Cup in 1983 and gold at the Pan American Games.
The players on those U.S. teams made up the nucleus of this year's Olympic team.
"We had faced all the competition before, there was no fear, it was nothing but kill." Koofard said. "Everybody knew the rules. The council also committed ourselves totally to her system."
PAT HEAD-SUMMIT, the 1984 Olympic coach, and Woodard have had their differences. Head-Summitt was an assistant coach on the 1980 Olympic team, of which Woodard was a member.
Woodard said she wouldn't have played much on that team even if the United States didn't boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games. He said she said, "I don't approve of her style of play."
"In order for me to be on the Olympic team (in 1984), I had to do the things she wanted."
One of the things Head-Summit required was an aggressive defense. Woodard proved herself well enough on defense that Head-Summit assigned her to the opposing team's toughest scorer for each game during the Olympic competition.
Behind Woodard's hounding defense, the flashy play of All-American Cheryl Miller of the University of Southern California and a relentless attack, the U.S. team smothered six Olympic opponents by an average of 33 points, including an 85-57 rout of South Korea in the championship game.
"THERE'S A REASON for that," Woodard said. "All summer long we had been playing men's teams — not just any men's teams but guys trying out for the professional league who had gotten cut.
"We were getting beat all summer, but the purpose was to keep up with them . . . after we played them, when we played another women's team we were just beating them into the ground because the tempo was so fast.
In the 1983 World Cup, the Soviets beat the United States by one point. Woodard refused to let this year's Soviet boycott, which denied the U.S. team a rematch, take away from the U.S. victory.
"I still didn't run my fun," she said. "I was at the Olympic Games and I competed."
"If they kept up the first 10 minutes that was going to be it. I think that was the key to our success."
Even if she faces the Soviets in future competition, she said it wouldn't be the same.
"It would be nice, but this was a special team," she said. "We were the bomb squad."
That people have always been so impressed with her play has been a constant source of amazement to Woodard, who began rolling up socks and tossing them at a closet door at the age of eight. The all-time leading scorer in women's collegiate basketball hasn't stopped shooting since.
"EVERYTHINGS BEEN A total surprise," she said. "When I got into high school and started getting my pictures in the paper and everything, it was like. 'If you think these games are great games, you should have seen me when I played at the Y'... I couldn't believe they were really writing all these things because I felt I wasn't really doing all that much."
When it came time to choose a college, Woodard was leaning toward University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Maryland until she received a call from Washington, who impressed Woodard with her sincerity and convinced her to visit the KU campus.
"When I saw it in the day — and it was springtime with the flowers and the trees in bloom, 'my heart started pumping,' she said, as she placed the place. There was no doubt in my mind."
Woodard has had some disappointments, but said she had no regrets about the trail that took her from KU to Italy to the Olympics.
"I love sports, and I just think it's great, because I'd be doing it whether I was seen or not seen," she said. "This is like iceing on the cake."

Application for degree procedure helps students graduate on time
By BRENDA STOCKMAN
Staff Reporter
The night before she enrolled for her final undergraduate semester at the University of Kansas, Patty Hight read the fine paper on her course and found it difficult to draw on it 50 hours in her major.
"I knew I had to have more than that because I needed more just to complete my B.S. in cognitive psych," said Haight, Topeka who described herself as a teacher. Because I thought I was going to graduate.
To graduate on schedule, seniors should be aware of certain procedures that must be followed. KU officials said.
Haight later learned that she only needed additional elective hours to balance out an excess of hours in her major. She was able to graduate at the end of the semester as she had anticipated.
The essential element in preparing for graduation is for a senior to fill out an application for degree. These are used by all of the schools and by the College of Liberal Arts.
The only exception is the department of
occupational therapy, in which the application for degree is filled out prior to the student's field work, or nine months before graduation, according to Chairwoman Wyrichy.
Filling out an application for degree signals the school to make a senior check, or to look over a student's transcripts and assess his readiness for graduation.
Students in the College should take the initiative to be present for their senior check, said Diana Fox, coordinator of College graduation. Students should set up an appointment with one of the record clerks to go over the general requirements, she said, and to see their advisers to evaluate their major requirements.
All of the schools and the College use "check sheets" in a student's folder to track their progress throughout their years at KU.
The schools and divisions at the University say it is up to the student to take the responsibILITY to see that they meet the requirements.
"I look them (the students) straight in the eyeball their first day in the program and explain the system to them," said Howard Mossberg, dean of the School of Pharmacy.
"From that point forward they can track their own program."
He said school faculty took each student aside before graduation to make sure they were ready. Only one student out of 80 or 90 will have a problem, he said, because three were made. The first is by the student. The second is by the adviser and third is by his office.
All of the schools and the College report high success rates with their graduation rate.
"We very seldom have a problem where someone has just goofed up," said Rhetta Noever, administrative assistant to the management of Business. "We check them very closely."
The dean's office can check only if the know a student is planning to graduate, she said. The administrators stress that students should be sure that they have filled out an application for degree and checked with their dean's office to make certain it is on file.
"For the final word, check in the dean's office, not with the department or the adviser," said Rebecca Hines, coordinator of services for the School of Engineering.
College savings part of parents' dreams; institute finds parents fail to plan ahead
By United Press International
saving for a college education may be taking its place next to buying a home as a part of the American dream that's going bust for many families.
That's one conclusion to be drawn from a Roper Organization survey for the National Institute of Independent Colleges and Universities, an organization of private colleges.
Eighty percent of the nation's 12 million college students attend public colleges; 20 percent go to private schools, which are generally more expensive.
The survey of parents with children of pre-college age found families are not planning and saving adequately for their education at either a public or private institution.
NEVERTHLESS, 77 PERCENT said they hope that one or more of their children will go to college. Forty percent said they aimed for local state colleges or universities.
Thirty-seven percent said they would like to send their children to private schools, even though expenses are often twice or three times more than at public colleges.
For example, the tab at Ivy League schools,
this fall is about $15,000 and around $60,000.
for a four year degree if costs stay stable until until 1988.
Because of budget restraints and high prices, the survey report said parents seem to be scaling back hopes to fit perceptions of the future. Only 40 percent of those who would prefer a private institution think they will be able to send their children to one
EVEN FAMILIES WITH incomes of more than $30,000 a year feel that they will not be able to send their children to private schools, the report said.
Two-thirds of the parents said they have the primary responsibility of paying for college. One-third say it's the student's responsibility.
Two thirds of the parents said they expect to pay for college by drawing on savings. But only half are currently saving for their children's education. The others expect to start saving later.
The average family started saving when the oldest child was four. The savings median was $517 a year.
"Clearly, most parents are willing to pay for their children's education, and are making some effort toward that end, said Shilriff, executive director of the institute.
**BUT THEIR EFFORTS are woefully**
inadequate in the face of today's college costs and we know that costs will be much higher by the year 2000. Parents need help and encouragement to save more, and more realistically."
With help from the Teagle Foundation, the institute is launching a national campaign to educate parents and potential students about saving for college.
The institute intends to explore ways of promoting incentives for saving. Four of every 10 parents say they would save more than they now are if they could receive a federal tax deduction or tax credit for money put into an education savings account
The issue is more than one of helping parents.
Survival of the less well-enrolled colleges among the independents will be threatened if increasing numbers of students shift to lower-tier universities or authorities on the higher education scene say.
The "privates" with fat endowments — Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford — have no such worries. Although costs at these schools are the highest in the nation, the actual education costs at these schools are not heavily subsidized by endowment earnings.
It's higher education, at a lower cost, guaranteed by the government.
No question about it, the extra earning power of a college degree is worth every cent it costs.
