A KU associate professor of English opposed the nomination of Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, as judge for the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in a letter mailed yesterday to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
Tacha was nominated for the position Oct. 30 by President Reagan. If confirmed by the Senate, she will be appointed to the 10th circuit bench.
The attorney of Myra Hinman,
associate professor of English for 25
years, sent a letter by express mail
to the New York Public Library,

Hinman said Tacha wasn't upholding an agreement signed by the University with the U.S. Department of Labor in 1882 that emphasized equal employment opportunities at KU.
Phelps said that Hinman filed a sex discrimination suit against the University of Kansas and some faculty members in the late 1970s, before Tacha was appointed vice chancellor in 1881. The lawsuit, which is pending in the U.S. District Court in Topeka, criticizes KU employment policies. The suit includes promotion, recruiting and tenure deficiencies for women and other minorities.

Students prepare for electrifying season
By Gary Duda
Kansan Magazine writer
It stiffes studying, scrambles schedules and electrifies expectations — it's Kansas Jayhawk basketball.
There are only 27 days left until the doors of Allen Field House open for the first home game of the KU men's basketball regular season. The Jayhawks are set to play Southern Illinois University on Dec. 3.
Homework and exams might be robbing 'students of sleep, but head basketball coach Larry Brown's insistence that he pills that cures those nap-time blues.
"It's a better pill than Vivarin," said Sarah Hederstedt, Hutchinson freshman.
"I think the games will take quite a bit of study of studying," Ison said. "That's a part of life. You can't miss the ballgame just because you have to study."
Mike Isaon, Lyndon junior, said he wouldn't allow school to interfere with KU basketball games.
Ison said the sacrifice would be worth it if the 'Hawks had a winning season this year.
Students already have begun preparing themselves for the season with pre-season drills. Attending practice scrimmages and reading about the players in newspapers and sports magazines are a few of the methods fans use to learn more about their top-rated team.
Sacrifice of another kind was the word for William Gibbs, Goddard freshman.
Gibbs said he intended to get a flat top haircut for the season.
"I felt like doing something crazy for the season," Gibbs said. "It's kind of my own personal statement."
"I try to keep track of what the players are doing and what the coaches are doing," he said. "I try to compare them with the fighter."

Steve Aleman, Hutchinson senior said he had attended the first official

"I've been counting the days and marking them on my calendar for the Pepperdine game in Denver," Aleman said.

"He eats it, sleeps it and drinks it," she said. "He gets home later. When he is home he wakes up. He always has vision during the season."
Tim Phillips, Overland Park senior, said he wasn't able to get a season ticket.
"I couldn't get a ticket, and I'm a senior." Phillips said.

"I hope that our pledges don't make grades and I get to use their tickets." he said.
If all else fails, Phillips said, he would have to rely on cable television.
"I'm kind of bumming right now," Shepard said. "I guess I'll have to watch the games on television."
Regardless of whether they have tickets or not, students' expectations for the Jayhawks this year were high.
Michelle Wilson, Maple Hill freshman, said she expected nothing but the best for the Jayhawks.

"I think KU is going to run away with the Big Eight title," he said. "With a few breaks, who knows what could happen."
