K-Club to reunite 1975 Sun Bowl team
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Tonight, about 25 members of the 1975 football team will reminisce about their triumphs and pitfalls when they gather to be honored at a banquet by the K-Club, a group consisting of men and women who have lettered in athletics at the University of Kansas.
Scott McMichael, a member of the 1975 football team, and now assistant director of the Williams Fund and coordinator for the K-Club, said Wednesday that the banquet was part of this year's K-Club Weekend. He said the event took 'place about Oct. 1 every year.
He said K-Club Weekend activities would begin about 10:30 this morning with a golf tournament for K-Club members and Athletic Department staff at Alvamar Golf and Country
fender, 1008 Parkview Road, now a sports agent, said. "The reunion is going to be a great opportunity for us all to get together. I haven't seen most of the guys since we got out of school."
Club, 1800 Crossgate Drate the banquet will begin with a social drive at 6 p.m.
One of the players who will take part in the reunion is Jim Fender, who was a wide receiver on the 1975 team.
The Sun Bowl game against Pittsburgh University on Dec. 26, 1975, was KU's second bowl appearance in three years. In 1973, KU had lost to North Carolina State University 31-18 in the Liberty Bowl.
Fender said the Sun Bowl was supposed to be different from the previous bowl game.
"We went down there thinking we were going to mop up," he said. "We had beaten Oklahoma and Oklahoma had defeated Pitt. It was supposed to be our year. Instead, Pitt used the game against us to start building a dynasty."
McMichael said the play he remembered in the Sun Bowl was a touchdown that didn't count.
"On our first possession series, Nolan Cromwell ran an option play and pitched the ball to Billy Campfield for a 70- or 75-yard touchdown," he said. "The referrer called it an illegal forward lateral and called the play that changed the complexion of the game."
McMichael, 31, joined the KU Athletic Department this July.
KU lost the game 33-19.
Former head football coach Don Fambrough, 1118 West Hills Parkway, had been head coach during McMichael's first two years on the football team.
Fambrough, now a field representative for Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., said, "Scott's just a super young man. I recruited him out of Shawnee Mission West High School."
Fender said the change of coaches made a
big difference in McMichael's college career. Bud Moore replaced Fambrough in 1975.
"Scotty was in a strange position," Fender said. "He had been KU's leading passer as a sophomore, but when Bud Moore came, Scotty became the backup quarterback."
Moore said, "KU had been running a prototype offense before I came. We thought if we could find a quarterback who could run, we would go with a wishbone offense.
Moore said he found the type of quarterback he needed in Cromwell, but that meant McMichael had to play second fiddle.
"Scoff had been a successful player prior to that." Moore said. "It wasn't an easy adjustment for him to make. But he's always been a team player."
That could be said about the whole 1975 team,
Moore said.
"What I remember about that team is the way they played together and their ability to adjust to a new way of going," he said.
Boosters to get dose of rules from KUAC
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
When six Texas Christian University football players were suspended from their team two weeks ago for taking illegal payments from boosters, the incident prompted some coaches and athletic officials to call for legislation to control over-enthusiastic supporters of college athletic programs.
However, KU Athletic Department officials said Tuesday that they did not think legislation was necessary to control illegal activity by boosters.
Athletic Director Monte Johnson said proponents of such legislation were reacting to a few problems that reflected badly on all supporters of college athletics.
"I don't think there should be legislation that restricts all alumni and others who want to support their college athletic programs just because of the abuses of a few individuals." he said.
Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director, said he thought a more logical solution than legislation was available
"We feel that we can keep abuses from happening through the process of educating our supporters," he said. "We have a great group of supporters, and they want to do what's right."
Dave Didion, an administrative assistant to head football coach Mike Gottfried, said athletic directors and coaches, not legislators, should be
responsible for controlling booster activity.
Hunter said he and Didion were organizing an educational program for supporters.
"What we, along with Monte Johnson, intend to do is conduct an athletic booster group seminar," Hunter said. "The purpose of that seminar is to acquaint our fans, supporters and boosters with the NCAA rules and regulations regarding recruiting.
"Those rules and regulations have changed considerably the last few years, and we think it's important that our supporters know what they can and cannot do in assisting our recruiting efforts."
Didion, a former investigator for the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said NCAA rules strictly limited the off-campus contact that boosters could have with prospective athletes.
Johnson said he thought alumni could play a key role in recruiting athletes but the complexity of the NCAA rules made it difficult for them to do so.
"The rules almost assume that no one can effectively contact athletes without breaking regulations," he said. "It's like everyone's guilty until proven innocent."
Hunter said a date had not been set for the seminar, but he planned to have it when he could count on the largest attendance of boosters.

Families of 2 players mirror each other

Sometimes, they seem like copies
Bob Foster, director of bands, and Homer "Butch" Henderson, unofficial chaplain of the football team, have much in common.
"We're about the same height and the same weight," Foster said yesterday. "We have the same color hair and we look somewhat alike. We were born on the same day in the same state, Texas. And we were both on the same all-state band when we were in high school."
Henderson said, "We have one more thing in common — we have sons who play football for
Foster's son, Rob, is a long snapper on the special teams unit. Henderson's son, Mark, is a fullback.
Mark Henderson and Rob Foster also have much in common. They played football at Lawrence High School. Both were two-year lettermen and members of the Lawrence High School Marching Lion Band.
Rob Foster was a walk-on last year on the Jayhawk football team. He said his love for football and music brought him to the University.
"I wanted to go to a school where I could get a good music degree and play football, too," he said.
"At KU I can do both. If I just wanted to play football, I might have gone somewhere else."
Bob Foster said, "Rob's been involved with the University ever since he was little. He went to almost every KU game as a child. In elementary school, his art projects were always Jayhawks. He drew Jayhawks, painted Jayhawks and made ceramic Jayhawks. He still draws very good Jayhawks."
Rob Foster said, "KU's always been a part of my life. I moved here when I was in kindergarten, and I've been going to KU games for 12 years at least."
"My dad's been successful, and his father was a successful band director in Texas," Rob Foster said. "I kid my dad and tell him I'm going to take his job away from him. That's really not very likely. But I do want to be a band director at a big university.
Rob Foster is a music education major and plans to carry on a family tradition by becoming a band director, as his father and his grandfather did.
"Last year my goals were to make the top band at KU — the symphonic band — and to get some playing time on the football team. I managed to accomplish both."
Rob Foster also turned a football injury into an opportunity to do something that few accomplish. While sitting out because of the injury last year, he
played trumpet in the Jayhawk Marching Band for a few games.
The Fosters belong to Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St. — another thing they have in common with the Hendersons. Butch Henderson is the church's senior pastor.
Mark Henderson, who is majoring in business administration, balances academics and football the way Rob Foster juggles music, academies and football, earning Academic All Big Eight Conference honors in 1983 and 1984.
Mark said he appreciated his father's involvement with the team
"Dad's main function is to lead the team celebrations before the game," he said. "We get together as a group and start to focus on our goals and get mentally prepared for the game."
Butch Henderson said football game days were family days for him.
"We've got it all covered," he said. "Mark's on the field, I'm on the sidelines, and the rest of my family is in the stands."
Henderson became the foothall team's unofficial chaplain in 1983, during head coach Mike Gottfried's first season. He devotes about 10 hours a week to the team.
As the team's unofficial chaplain, he said, he also does individual counseling.
Directories soon to be delivered
By Theresa Scott Of the Kansan staff
Finding a student or KU telephone number will be easier in two weeks after this year's student telephone directories are delivered.
Jane Hoskinson, academic editor for University Relations, said 16,000 copies of the 1985-86 faculty, staff and student phone book would be delivered to the University of Kansas by Oct. 18. She said the books usually were distributed toward the end of October.
Dean Glenn, vice president of operations at NAPCO Inc., a publishing company in Virginia, said the phone books would be sent to the University on Oct. 14 and be received on Oct. 17 or 18.
Off-campus students, she said,
may purchase phone books at the
Oread Book Shop in the Kansas
Union or at the Jayhawk Bookstore,
1420 Crescent Road, for about $1.50
each, the price of last year's phone
book.
Free directories will be distributed by facilities operations to all campus offices, scholarship halls and residence halls, Hoskinson said.
"The price will not go up much or it will not go up at all." she said.
Bill Getz, Oread Book Shop supervisor, said he also was not certain of the price of the phone books, but he said they were not sold for a profit.
This year's phone book cover will feature a "whimsical" water color design about the history of telephones, Hoskinson said.
She said the directory also would feature a "Missing Children" section in the Yellow Pages, as it did last year.
This section is promoted regionally by NAPCO, which tries to incorporate the "Missing Children" report in as many of the 51 college and community telephone directories it publishes, Glenn said.
NAPCO publishes phone books for universities as far west as Oklahoma State University in Stillwater and Wichita State University. The missing children pictures now are published in the Wichita State phone book and may be published in the Oklahoma State phone book, Glenn said.
Mary Vanderhoff, a member of the location staff for Child Find Inc., an organization in New York that tries to locate missing children, said that although the response had not been overwhelming, she had been surprised by the number of people who called to say they had seen children they recognized from phon- books.
