Big 8 athletic facilities compared
By BRETT CONLEY
Staff Reporter
a Big Eight schools probably will show that KU's athletic facilities are less adequate than at most other schools in the nation. For instance, an assistant athletic director, said assistant
Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, said the study was being conducted by the KU athletic department to evaluate the quality of other schools in the Bieff Group compared with other schools in the Bieff Group.
Mays has visited six universities in the conference and will conclude the study after visiting Iowa State this weekend.
"Indoor workout facilities are what we need to make us comparable to other schools," Mays said. "We have just sort of been working on maintenance and restoration with our facilities."
*many* was started after Don Siewon, a committee chairman requested that his boss report on Big Eight facilities, Marcum said. The cost of the study will not be known until the study is complete.
MAYS SAID HE began the study more than a week ago when he and a photographer visited Big Eight schools.
"We spend about four to five hours at each school and take pictures of every part of the building, including the laundry rooms," Mays said. "I also talk to athletic officials about financing of facilities and their budgeting process and other academic programs and recruiting."
A slide presentation will be made from the results of the study, Marcum said, and the slides will be turned over to Slowson along with the information gathered by Mays.
The KUAC committee on facilities will evaluate the information and develop priorities for improvements at KU, Marcum said.
"THIS IS A very important project on other campuses and see it is happening on other campuses and see that petition is going," Marcum said. "I haven't talked to Burke about any details yet, but I have a lot of feedback."
Marcum agreed that for KU to be comparable to Big Eight schools, an indoor workout facility was needed.
sixth or seventh in the conference in facilities."
"An indoor facility will be a tremendous shot in the arm to our purpose." Marcum said, adding that the indoor facility, but if we want to build one the money will have to come from private sources.
Mays said most of the other schools had asked for copies of the study because it was the first of its kind in the conference.
“ALL OF THE schools have been very receptive to me because they really don't have anything to hide.” Mayne said. “They've already about the business aspects of other operations. We also got new ideas about things that might help us in out many different areas.”
some discrepancies in facilities could be attributed to the sources of financing for facilities, Mays said. Schools such as
Nebraska receive state funds for facilities, but other schools, such as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, do not receive state aid, Mays said.
KU received state funds for fiscal year 1979-80. About $215,000 was given to the women's athletic department.
Mays said the Big Eight schools had average facilities compared with other schools in the state and that there are the exceptions, he said, because they are significantly ahead of other Big Eight schools.
"I would say KU is still comparable in our total facilities," Mays said, "but we have to up-keep to with facilities, the reason everyone expands is that someone like you does it. I will be there then Oklahoma State starts building something and pretty soon we are building."
"I would say that KU is headed in the right direction now. Mays and. We're going to be a leader for our facilities. This study helps us with prior planning of facilities and tells us what we need."
Derailment witnesses keep silent

The attorney for the engineer and fireman involved in the Amtrak train deactivation in April 2013, as well as investigators that his clients will not speak to officials until a December public hearing on the incident is held, a National Transportation Safety Board representative said yesterday.
"Basically the attorney told us, 'Why talk to them now since you are going to have a public hearing?' " Harold Storey, lead investigator for the NSA, said.
John Rooney, the attorney from St. Louis, was secured by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to represent L.H. Graham, the engineer, and W.P. Hand, the fireman. Graham is laded in satisfactory condition at the New York Hospital. Hand is at his home in Newton.
Storey said that Rooney told his clients would voluntarily appear at a public hearing, tentatively scheduled for early December in the Kansas City area.
Doctors for Graham have said he is able to answer questions, but Rooney told investigators that his client still was not feeling well. Storey said.
Elwood T. Driver, vice chairman of the NTSB, said at the beginning of the deraliment investigation that testimony from the engineer would be crucial in determining whether the accident. But Sturry said the new delay would not "unduly hinder" the investigation.
"We hope we are through enough that we know what they could tell us by the time of the hearing," he said.
Investigators want to know why the train was traveling at 78 mph in a 30 mph zone.
NTSB representatives are continuing their investigation into the 21-car derailment, which left two men dead and 69 persons injured.
Employees of a freight train that ran on the same track 20 minutes before the accident occurred near Fourth and OH-
streets told investigators that a sign warning of an approaching 30 mph zone was not in place.
Although the sign, located on a mile before the accident site, was discovered down after the accident, Stery said track marks were visible. The car was upright and visible before the wreck.
Investigators have not yet determined the condition of the speed warning mechanism that should have warned the engineer of
excessive speed with an alarm and flashing light.
Although a broken coil in the device was discovered, Storey said investigators were not sure whether it was damaged at the time of the accident.
The alert system is designed to trigger emergency brakes if the engineer does not respond. The metal plate or moving in his seat, Storey said. But the system is not linked to a speed limiter.
