By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
A breach of contract suit was filed Friday in Douglas County District Court by a former KU women's softball pitcher against the University of Kansas and Bob Stanclift, women's softball coach.

The suit asks for more than in actual damages, more than $ in punitive damages and $8 in the accrued interest for d under contract for Colette Crenshaw, Topeka junior.
The suit alleges that the UA breached its contract with Crenshaw when it terminated athletic scholarship on Feb. because of an injury she while playing for the KU v softball team.
Edwin P. Carpenter, one of two Topeka attorneys representing Seitz-Crenshaw, said yesterday that the University and Stanclift persuaded Seitz-Crenshaw to finish high school one semester early by promising her a four-year scholarship but reneged on that promise after she suffered injuries to her arm and elbow.
Carpenter said the suit was filed because repeated attempts by Seitz-Crenshaw and her attorneys to get the University to reinstate her scholarship had failed.
Neither Seitz-Crenshaw nor Donald Barry, the other attorney representing her, could be reached for comment yesterday.

I have been captured by the stars since I was five but I didn't know high school that you could make a living at astronomy. My father gave me a garment cutter in Brooklyn. I was a job that no interest for me, I was ready to college by time I was 16, and I applied to a number of schools. I liked Chicago's campus best. It said, "I were interested in football church facades when don't come here." If you want an education, come to Chicago. No other school seemed to be in the education business.
I received scholarship and went out there, immature but exculturated by being on my own. Chicago was a place where you could confess your ignorance in people settled setting with outside people, who were tilt to fall to it.

My interest in planetary astronomy was out of the '50s. Since the moon was the paradigm of the unattainable I didn't know if my career was possible, girlfriends felt awed about my aspirations. Chicago gave me no acruc disemployment, it was just that hardly anybody shared my interest at school.

In 1957 I organized a public lecture series on 'the evolution of everything' at the University College Crowds were away卸, and I saeed that it was a good way to gain popular support for scientific study. Remember that science is interdisciplinary, you need a background in a number of fields. Don't prematurely specialize. And most of all, develop a portable baloney detector — most ideas are just wrong, nothing should be accepted on faith.

Homophobia rampant,prof says Homosexuals face anger discrimination in society
Dennis Dalle, professor of social welfare and faculty adviser for Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, spoke about homosexuality on campus at the University Forum yesterday at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Dalle said homophobia — "an extreme rage and fear reaction to anybody or anything that is homosexual" — was prevalent at the University.
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
However, one thing sets them apart — the haired and discrimination they experience in sexuality. Dalley called it homophobia.
Homosexuals on campus lead lives much like those of their heterosexual peers in the KU community, Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, said yesterday.
He told of an incident that occurred in a small Midwestern, college town, which he did not identify. Six men attacked four lesbians as they were leaving a party. One woman suffered a ruptured spleen. The attack was sudden, and the fingers of another were crushed in a car door.
About 65 people heard Dailey's speech, "Homosexuality on Campus; 1985," at the University Forum's weekly luncheon at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1294 Oread Ave.
Dailey said such incidents were not unusual.
Dalley said homophobia assumed three forms. One form is blatant discrimination or violence against homosexuals.
"Homophobia is like any other phobia," he said. "It's an extreme rage and fear reaction to anybody or anything that is homosexual."
"I could spend the rest of this time, this day or the rest of my life giving you examples of homophobia," he said.
Heterosexuals are not immune to the effects of homophobia, Dailey said. It is a barrier that keeps fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, siblings, and close friends from showing affection for fear that they would labeled homosexual.
Dailey said he did not care about the number of homosexuals in our society. He said, however, some researchers thought that 8 to 10 percent of women and 6 to 9 percent of women were homosexual.
"Homophobia is what keeps a father who loves his son from hugging that young man, especially when he gets a little older," he said.
Homosexuals harbor their own homophobia. Dailev said.
"It takes the form of self-hate low self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness," he said. "And I consider that a two-ship technical foul."
See DAILEY, p. 5, col. 2
Homosexuals develop these feelings because they have spent their lives hearing about the evil and immorality of homosexuality, he said. Heterosexuals make jokes about homosexuals and forget the jokes are personal insults.

Glass' music evokes conflicting responses
Bold, striding notes played loudly over turbulent melodies vibrated senses and evoked conflicting emotional responses during the Philip Glass concert last night in Hoch Auditorium.
Nearly 1,400 people attended the concert, which featured Philip Glass, a graduate of the Juilliard School, and his eight-member ensemble. Responses to the mesmerizing music varied from distaste to indifference to enthusiasm.
"This is the kind of music that I imagine is left after a total nuclear holocaust, " said James Moeser, dean of fine arts, who left at internment. I just don't see any musical craft that there's no content. It's totally void.
"It's only virtue is that it's loud, and that becomes its greatest fault. People aren't able to discern subtlety anymore."
Glass, who was named 1868 Musician of the Year by Musical America,
Bob Price, associate professor of art, said the music was interesting because it irritated listeners' nervous systems and forced them to deal with their boredom.
"It's like Mondrian — all pure form," Price said. "Most music picks you up in a linear fashion and takes you smoothly to an end. Glass" music brings you into the present moment and holds you there like a fountain bubbling up and into present time reality."
New York, is probably best known for his musical score for the film "Koyaanisqatsi." His ensemble blended electric keyboards, woodwinds and self-synthesizers to perform "Koyaanisqatsi," a piece from "Koyaanisqatsi".
Glass' performance also included Prelude to the Koln Section of "the CIVIL war"; a tree is best measured when it is down," Akkhaten, Act 2, 18. "Dance." "Dance." "Dance No. I" from "Einstein on the Beach" and "Glass Places."
Jackie Davis, director of the Concert Series and the Chamber Music Series, said students had requested Glass as their first choice for a concert series performance.
"When we invited Philip Glass to perform, we knew there would be different reactions to his music," Davis said. "I think it is healthy that there are differences of opinion about all the music.
"I think it's important for an institution of higher education, especially one like the University of Kansas, to offer new music for students, faculty and the community."
Al Berman, assistant director for development at KANU-FM, which co-sponsored the event, said it was an important contrast for audiences in this area to be exposed to different emotional and conceptual kinds of music that they normally did not hear.
The eight-member ensemble included: Glass, synthesizer; Jon Gib
