Ol' time tales cap ol' time game
By Frank Hansel Of the Kansan staff
"Remember our junior year when we beat K State?" Or the time we went up to Colorado and won?" As the good old days
Those were just a few of the stories told as those "good o'd days" were relived Saturday afternoon at Quigley Field when former KU greats and not-so-great met in the sixth annual Old-Timers baseball game.
The stories in the dugout certainly were more imaginative than the play on the field.
Jack Stonestreet, former KU pitcher, said, "Our ability may not be getting better but the stories sure are."
Assistant athletic director and former KU baseball coach Floyd Temple said he had heard the same stories every year since the game was established.
Stories grow taller every year
Former shortstop Barry Robertson, who hit a three-run home run over the 275-foot sign Saturday, was hit in the year the hit would be even further.
Temple said. "I've already heard that it broke a window in Naismith Hall."

Robertson said the fielding was far from perfect, but nobody cared.
"Nobody said anything when a fly ball was dropped, because everyone knew it could happen to them next." he said.
Jim Shanks, former catcher, said the actual game was low on everybody's priority list. Everybody getting together and
John Trombolow, former first baseman and Kansas' first baseball All-American, said the game was a family reunion for him.
rehashing old times seemed to be the main objective of the players.
His brother, Jim, and his father, George, both played ball at Kansas, but now they all live in different parts of the country.
One of the highlights of the game was when George Trombold, who graduated in 1932, lined a base hit for Johnny Johnson, fifth inning. John Trombold said.
George received a standing ovation for the hit, his third in five at bats in the Old-Timers games.
"There is also a certain camaraderie among baseball players that I think is different from other sports," Trombold
said. "It's as if they have their own language and baseball players, no matter what age, stay close." Former pitcher Rob Allindor, who played from 1973 to 1976, said. "I'm tight with every baseball player I've ever played with."
Shanks, who originally came to Kansas on a football scholarship, said there was a certain camaraderie in any athletic team, but baseball was different.
"I think it's a lot easier to come back and play an old-timers baseball game than an old-timers football game," Shanks said. "Baseball is more of a recreational game."
While players were renewing old friendships and swapping war stories, the goal for the Old-Timers game was to get support for the KU baseball program, Shanks said.

Students plan anti-apartheid rally

Of the Kansan staff
KU students will join thousands of college students across the country in spirit as they protest and rally against apartheid on Friday, a national day of protest.
Friday's protest is expected to surpass the last national day of protest, which took place in April. Thousands of students staged sitt-ins and rallies during the spring protest, and organizers say this demonstration should be even bigger because of recent turmoil in South Africa.
Two campus groups, KU Committee on South Africa and KU Democrats, have separate anti-armpheid events scheduled throughout the week
"This week is much more than just the committee's activities." Dwayne Fulhage, a member of KU Committee on South Africa, said yesterday. "It's a human rights week."
The committee is sponsoring a speaker, Shuping Coapag, a representative of the African National Congress, one of the primary liberation movements in South Africa.
but will join forces for a rally at noon Friday in front of Strong Hall.
Before the speech, students can meet Coapag at 5.0 m., outside Strong Hall, Fuhhage said.
The goal of the protest week is to educate students about South Africa, he said. The committee wants students to know that they can help to bring about divestment.
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, the committee will show two films in Alderson Auditorium. One film is about trade unions in South Africa and the other one is a documentary about the South African situation, said Carla Vogel, another committee member.
The speech, the first of the committee's events, will be at 7:30 p.m. today in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
Several committee members built a hut on Saturday outside Strong Hall with scraps of cardboard to represent the type of houses, called a shantytown, in which many blacks in South Africa live.

City may give eviction notice

Tenants of Pinecrest Apartments
Cherished KU students
including set up may be evicted if improvements on the building are not completed by Wednesday, the city's chief building inspector said yesterday.
Gene Shaughnessy, the chief building inspector, said "life threatening" building code violations existed at the 38-unit apartment complex, 2625 Redbud Lane.
These violations include faulty gas lines, furnaces and hot water heaters, deficient or non-existent flues, poor hallway lighting and stairwells without hand railings.
"We will know by Monday or by Tuesday morning at the latest if they have made satisfactory progress toward correcting these violations," Shaughnessy said. "If they haven't, then we will have to take other steps."
These steps may include evicting the tenants, he said.
Nicholas Ventola, Kansas City, Mo. one member of a general partnership that owns Pinecrest, said the tenants would not be evicted. He said he was unable to comment further about improvements to the apartment complex.
Glen Cork, Goddard senior, who rents a Finecrest apartment, said he did not think he and the other tenants would be evicted. He said he thought the company that owned the apartment, REALCO, Kansas City, Mo., would make improvements on the apartments to comply with city standards.
Shaughnessy said that some work on the complex should have been done over the weekend, but it was not.
The building inspection office is monitoring progress daily on the
If apartment improvements do not progress according to the agreement the city made with REALCO, Shaughnessy said, the building inspection office would decide whether there was a valid reason for the slow progress. If the reason was valid, the tenants would not be evicted, he said.
Vicki Kauzlarich, manager of Village Square Apartments, 850 Avalon Road, and temporary manager of Pinecrest Apartments, said she had not been instructed by REALCO to collect rent from the Pinecrest tenants, although she did not know whether collecting rent was one of her duties there.
Kaularzich said she had been instructed only to answer emergency phone calls from the Pinecrest tenants. She said she did not know whether the tenants would be evicted if the violations were not corrected.
Cork said many of the apartment tenants had moved out. He said that the apartments were "livable," although his apartment had flooded because of plumbing problems.
"I will just stay here and not pay rent," he said. "What are they going to do about it?"
Cork said he thought he would get a discount on his rent because of the code violations.
"I figure I'll pay 50 percent of what

Debt-limit action stalled in Senate
WASHINGTON — The Senate, meeting in a rare session yesterday, rejected pleas from President Reagan and refused to kill a Democratic-led filibuster blocking action on a balanced budget and a boost in the national debt limit.
The Senate, splitting along party lines, voted 57-38 for the so-called cloture motion to limit debate on the amendment. However, the vote was seven votes short of the necessary two-thirds majority and meant that further action on increasing the national debt limit remained stalled.
The meaning of the mild was muddied because it did demonstrate that a strong majority backed the pending budget plan.
The Senate then immediately killed, 59-36, a proposal by Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd to return the debt ceiling bill to committee with orders to bring back a stop-gap bill, effective through Oct. 18, stripped of the balanced budget amendment.
After the vote, it was unclear when a debt limit increase could be considered, although another vote to shut off debate was scheduled for today.
At the White House, spokesman Albert R. Brashear said he could not
Debate on the balanced budget plan offered by Sens Phil Gramm. R-Texas, Warren Rudman, R-N.H., and Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., has held up legislation increasing the national debt limit, which Treasury Department officials have said must be done by today to avoid disruptions of government financial operations.
A stop-gap increase in the debt ceiling would allow the government to keep borrowing money to pay its bills - including Social Security, federal pay, governments contracts and other obligations.
Although a second cloture vote was set for today, Dole, when asked what would happen, replied, "wringing of hands, speeches, posturing . . . no action."
From his retreat at Camp David, Md., Reagan called for passage of the budget proposal, saying Americans were "very weary of delays, excuses and inaction."
Deaner's memorial extols life
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Stymied, the Senate gave up shortly after 5 p.m. CDT with Democrats offering, and Senate Republican leader Robert Dole rejecting, a compromise that would allow passage of a stop-gap bill on the debt ceiling and a firm time agreement to consider budget promotions today.

Nesmith, 71. KU's head athletic trainer for 46 years before he retired in 1894, died Sept. 25 after a long bout with cancer.
But the remembrances of a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of the University warmed Friday's memorial service for Dean "Dean" NeSmith.
Many of the people wore gloomy faces that matched the gloomy atmosphere. The sky was gray and cloudy, the wind cold and gusty.
say what specific problems would be caused by failure to enact the debt limit measure.
Prentice Gautt, associate commissioner of the Big Eight Conference, broke down on the podium Friday morning while describing his despair over Nesmith's battle against cancer.
Gault, a former University of Oklahoma and professional football player, shared his memories of Nesmith with about 600 people who attended the special memorial service in Memorial Stadium.
On one occasion, he said, he checked with Nesmith's wife, Aileen, to arrange a visit, but was told Nesmith sometimes failed to recognize friends and family members. Gaunt said he put off his visit after hearing that.
"I didn't know whether I could take his not remembering me," Gautt said, wining tears from his face.
Only moments earlier, the sun had made its single brief appearance during the service while Gaunt was describing happier occasions during his association with Nesmith.
He said, "I understood I was losing a friend, but I was not accepting it.
Another speaker, the Rev. Paul Messineo, head of staff at First Presbyterian Church, described the service as a celebration of the life of Nesmith rather than an occasion of mourning.
Messineo, who officiated the memorial service, read a contemporary version of the 23rd Psalm and said Nesmith was like the author of the Psalm. King David.
"We always hugged each other upon parting," he said. "It was always hard for me to leave him."
The writer of the 23rd Psalm was
Other speakers at the service were Athletic Director Monte Johnson; Homer "Butch" Henderson, senior pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., and unofficial pastor of Northfield team; and Tom Ryan, assistant pastor of First Presbyterian Church, 2415 W. Clinton Parkway.
a man's man and so was the Dealer." Messinae said.
He said, "I can just see the Deaner, with his great sense of humor and his ability to tell stories, saying about this, 'Do you know I had three ministers, one athletic director and at least one whale of an athlete at my service?'"
Henderson said he could imagine Nesmith's reaction to such an impressive array of speakers.
Johnson said he had known Nesmith as a true and dear friend for the last 30 years.
"It is extremely appropriate that we have this celebration here today because this stadium, along with his offices in Allen Field' house, were
