By Chris Lazzarino and Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
OLATHE — THE KU dean of educational services and one football player are no longer involved in a suit that three KU football players filed Sept. 19 against the University of Kansas.
in Bryck, dean of educational services, and of defensive guard Doug Cordain are no longer named in the suit, after action yesterday in Johnson County Court with judge Phillip L. Woodsworth presiding.
Also, the trial date for the suit was postponed until both parties agreed on a date for the next meeting, said Edward G. Collister Jr., attorney for linebacker Dane Griffin.
Certain, a former plaintiff in the suit, is no longer a party to the players' suit, and Dyck, a former
defendant, was dropped from the suit, according to court documents.
J. Stewart McWilliams, attorney for tailback Lynn Williams, said, "It just didn't make a difference if he (Dyck) was listed. Initially, we had him on there to make sure that we included the certifying process in the suit."
Dyck said yesterday that he had no comment on the developments.
In concerning Certain, McWilliams said, "If, in fact, we win and succeed in gaining our remedies, he still wouldn't be eligible to play."
Certain could not be reached for comment.
Uffort Jerry Woodsworth in an order filed at 5:10 p.m. yesterday in the court said that Williams and Griffin were eligible to play college football, subject to head football coach Mike Gottfried's discretion.
Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director for administration, said last night that he had not advised Gottfried on the situation because he had not seen the order.
from suit
Hunter said he planned to meet with Gottfried this.morning.
Attorneys for both sides of the suit said they did not know when the trial would be rescheduled.
McWilliams said, "We will have our day in court."
There are several procedures, including acquiring pre-trial depositions, to go through before both sides are ready." Collister said.
Concerning Williams, he said, "I wouldn't say it's a victory, but he's in better shape than he was this time last week.
"After last Friday, the University didn't have to play him. Now, it's up to the coach's discretion to play him."

The University of Kansas set an enrollment record this fall with a total 20th-day headcount of 27,141, surpassing 1962's record enrollment by 393 students, the office of student records reported yesterday.
The announced enrollment includes figures from the Lawrence campus, the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., and off-campus programs.
The total headcount increased 1.48 percent from last year's total of 26,744 students.
The 20th-day combined total for the Lawrence campus and off-campus programs also set a record of 24,744, passing the previous record of 24,466 in 1980.
The figure rose 308 students or

Students to refuse financing
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Students on the KU Committee on South Africa recently requested University money for travel expenses to a convention in November, but decided to refuse any money they may receive because the Kansas University Endowment Association provides it.
Jane Ungerman, Lawrence senior and member of the Committee, said yesterday that some members of the Committee planned to attend the Progressive Student Network convention in Chicago.
Yesterday afternoon, before the Endowment Association knew of the Committee's decision, Menaugh told me about the Corrinaittee's request.
Students can request money to attend academic conventions or meetings. he said.
"The fund is used to enrich student activities." Ambler said.
Steve Menaaugh, public relations director for the Endowment Association, said the money came from the association's unrestricted fund.
The Progressive Student Network comprises groups of students across the country interested in progressive and social issues. Ungerman said.
Students working toward the same goals can exchange ideas and support each other, she said. This enables students to keep in touch with activism on other campuses.
Ungerman said she submitted a request to David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, for $300 about three weeks ago which included details of the trip and reasons for financing.
Ambler said yesterday that the Endowment Association provided the funds to help student groups with special projects.
The convention will include speakers and workshops, she said and the focus may be on South Africa.
The group probably would have accepted money from other sources she said, but in this case it will pay for its own expenses.
"I found out that funds were available for students to put toward traveling expenses," Ungermar said.
Ungerman said she had not heart yet whether the University would of fer the students any money.
However, a few days after submitting the request, she said, the group discovered that the money for the project came from the Endowment Association.
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
"The Endowment Association was not willing to talk to us." Ungermal said. "We protested at their front door and asked why justify money from them."

Compact disc sales rising in Lawrence
By Mike Snider
Kansan Magazine writer
"We gotta install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries, We gotta move these refrigerators, gotta move these电视 TVs . . . "
Sounds like the guys in Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" have their work cut out for them. But Lawrence music retailers say, that "it workin' it," when it comes to moving the ball around the room or compact disc," 'Brothers in Arms.'
But it's easy to understand why disc aficionados are hooked on this recording and other recordings on CDs. A laser beam within the disc player reads the almost 15 million microscopic pits of the disc, where the music is binarily stored. The beam then sends the information to a microcomputer, which changes the binary digits into music that has a dynamic range so realistic, it's almost like being there.
As a matter of fact, retailers in Lawrence and across the United States can't get enough copies of the disc.
Lawrence's educated atmosphere makes the town a natural for the disc market. Wilson says that small towns might not even enter the disc market at this time because discs require a large portion of the market.
Steve Wilson, shop for Kief's Grampone Shop, 2100 W. 25th St., estimates that there are nationally about 65,500 back orders for the disc.
But Lawrence was listening to the Talking Heads before it was popular in the rest of the country. And people here have a wide range of musical taste that includes such diverse talents as Anron Copeland, Little Richard, Straus, Bruce Springsteen and Wynnton Marsalls.
This is one example of the puzzling, but profitable, compact disc market in Lawrence.
That puts Lawrence retailers in a unique situation. Discs pull 15 to 20
Not only can the big boys of the music retail business roll their dice in the Lawrence disc game, but department stores can too. Gibson's showroom displays about 150 discs only two months ago and reports good sales.
percent of the sales at Kiel's Disc Counters & Stereo Supply, 2100 W. 28th St., so Kiel can afford to carry the largest selection of discs in the area. In just a few years, Kiel's small display case at the front of the store to a specially built case that takes up an entire aisle.
The reason for the sales increase is that disc players are affordable now. Disc players are being produced at a lower price than before. The cost of a lower price is between $50 and $400. The best-built disc players still cost up to $1,500.
Disc player sales are also increasing in Lawrence. Tim Pattil, owner of University Audio, 2319 Louisiana St., said that his store had sold three times as many disc players as last year. Radley Ramsey, owner of OM Communications, reports that his store also increased sales by 200 to 300 percent.
Very good players sell from $400 to $1,000. John Kiefer, owner of Kief's, said that some of the good 1985 players are as good as the original players, which were considered the best when they were built.
There are only 13 disc pressing plants in the world. The most productive plant turns out less than 40 million discs annually, and that plant produces more discs than that rate. Most plants don't even make 10 million discs annually.
Kiefer gave an idea of where world disc production is. He said it would take all 13 disc manufacturing plants in the world, operating at capacity for $2\%$ years just to equal the sales of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album.

Expansion marks Watkins' history

Instead, he was isolated in a small cabin on an island on the Kansas River. His fellow students brought him food and left it on a tree stump outside the cabin.
In the spring of 1905, a KU student developed a case of smallpox. There weren't any health care services available at the University of Kansas and the Lawrence hospital refused to admit him.
The University has come a long way from isolation as a means of treatment, and the smallpox patient triggered the concept of the 54-year-old institution, Watkins Memorial Hospital.
In the fall of 1906, University administrators were aware of the need for some type of student health service, but there weren't any University funds available from the state for such a service. So the school established a system that was established. For 50 cents, students could buy health insurance.
In 1908, a hospital was established at a house rented by the University. Over the years, the location of the hospital from one private home to another.
an epidemic of influenza broke out on campus in December 1928. Because the hospital's capabilities were limited, a difficult duty had to be closed for three weeks.
KU's health plight was brought to the attention of Elizabeth Watkins, wife of Jabez Bunting Watkins, a prominent Kansas businessman who died in 1919. In 1830, she offered to take over the hospital in honor of her husband.
In December 1931, when enrollment at the Lawrence campus totaled 4,658, the first patients were admitted to the $175,000 hospital. That year the hospital served more than 18,400 patients.
"The purpose of the hospital is to serve students exclusively, regardless of color, race or nationality," said the president of the dedication ceremony on June 5. 1932.
The hospital did serve the students for almost 43 years, but was used primarily as a place for bed rest and care, in the rest of the student community.
In 1972, hospital conditions were deemed too crowded. Construction on the new Watkins Memorial Hospital began that summer in the area southeast of Robinson Center. Of the total cost of $3.65 million, $3.4 million was raised through student health (ees). The rest of the money was
supplied by the Board of Regents and the Kansas Legislature.
The hospital staff, including doctors, moved furniture and equipment from the old building to the new two-story Watkins during Spring Break of 1974. It was completed on March 19, 1974, and is still the health center for KU students on the Lawrence campus.
James Strobl, director of Watkins,
said recently that about 118,000 people were treated as outpatients during the 1984-85 academic year.
Many of the services Watkins provides don't have to be paid directly by the student. For the past three years, $56 of each student's tuition has been allotted for this fee, and this fee entitles students to an unlimited number of routine visits with doctors, nurses and dieticians.
The student health fee doesn't cover visits that entail a specialized procedure, such as physical therapy. And it doesn't cover items such as crutches, X-rays and prescriptions. The patient is charged for inpatient services.
Ray Walters, Watkins' assistant director of business, said that many of these services were offered to studenttait about two-thirds the price other hospitals charge, but that many medical services were offered.
"We don't do any surgery here," Strobi said. "We don't have the equipment for acute care, so we refer like trauma to other hospital."
Those who come to Watkins are treated by a staff of about 96 licensed professionals. Included are 11 gen-ticians, 40 pharmacists, and about 20 nurses and pharmacists.
