KU officials decided yesterday-for tradition's sake—to allow the Homecoming Committee to stage a parade on campus to celebrate the arrival of students and the day of the parade will not be permitted.
The Homecoming Committee had proposed that classes on the eve of KU's Homecoming be cancelled after 2:20 p.m. to stage a parade on Jawahri Boulevard.
The University Senate executive committee, made up of student and faculty representatives, voted five to three Friday to approve the Homecoming Committee's
However, the Faculty executive com- mmittee, who is the faculty representatives, voted Selma K.
KU officials have scheduled the parade for 3 p.m.
IN A STATEMENT released yesterday,
ou stenkel, executive vice chancellor,
said, "In view of the fact that we are
already well into the semester and course
of our study, I do not dismiss this
class year at a 3.0 p.m.
"I would, however, urge those faculty who feel they can do better for their students to attend classes and activities not this particular class meeting is essential, we leave to the discretion of individual teachers."
Shankel said he expected classes would be disrupted only for a short time.
Clair Keizer, a member of the Homecoming Committee, said he hoped the parade would start a tradition.
"In the past six years, there hasn't been any recognition of the government's except for the Saturday the Saturdays. The Keitzer said, "We are pleased that the administration has recognized the work that was done."
Reizer said he would have preferred that classes had been cancelled early.
"We were hoping we could get it without the instructors having the option to hold class," he said, "Overall, though, I'm very pleased."
Margaret Berlin, student body president, also said she was pleased with the decision.

Record paid for games
LOS ANGELES (AP) -ABC, which made its past Olympic coverage a key part of the network's rise to rating dominance, has paid a record $225 million to televise the 1984 Summer Olympics from Los Angeles officials announced Wednesday.
ABC plans more than 200 hours of live programming from the 1984 Games, ABC news and sports chief Roon Airedle told a news conference. That means the hourly

cast signal for foreign users and a broadcast center where the signal would be picked up.
Arledge said the network costs, in addition to the four stated commitments, "could exceed another $100 million, but much of that will be recoverable."
ABC telecast the Summer Games in 1972 and 1974 and a widely held belief in the television industry is that ABC's promotion of its programs, particularly in sports, has been a success.
When asked to compare the 1984 cost to NBC's cost for the 1980 Games, Arledge chucked and said, "The 1984 Games will be twice as good as those in 1980. Being in the United States and being live, the interest will be huge. I don't know how the interest would be, but we decided what we could afford, in inflation and made our offer."<sup>16</sup>
IN A JOINT announcement, the International Olympic Committee and the Los Angeles Olympic Comm
mittee said. "We believe this to be the largest single television agreement ever negotiated."
CBS reported bid $100 million for the 84 Games and NBC reported bid $150 million, but the IOC and LAOOC representatives said they had agreed with them and to discuss the bids, although they said the bids had been competitive.
The formal announcement, which had been outlined to the Associated Press by industry sources Monday, will be held at the Washington Berlina executive director of the International Olympic Committee, and Peter V. Gorby, a former Olympian,Angeles Organizing Committees.
They said the contract must be approved by the IOC executive board but that approval is expected Oct. 25 when the board meets in Nagoya, Japan.
According to the agreement, ABC will spend $100 million for U.S. television rights and $12 million to the Los Angeles committee for production and support services. The committee also includes help in areas such as transport and providing results of the contests.
