There were a number of uncrested calls that were paid for by the athletic department,
IN A PREPARED statement released Friday, athletic department officials said that they were aware of the misuse and that they had taken action to remedy the situation.
"We were aware of the situation quite some time ago, and we took the appropriate measures in compliance with NCAA policy to handle the situation." Rob Marum, athletic director, said.
Marcum's release did not specify when these measures were taken.
According to a source close to the athletic
department, Marcum had initiated a check March 27 on all phones operated by the Kansas University Athletic Corporation to see about personal calls made on those lines.
Marcum was in Atlanta yesterday and was unavailable for comment.
Wachter said she did not know when the investigation into the phone misuse began or when the attack took place.
"I didn't work here until February," she said.
"Joe Biedron was in charge then."

The NCAA would not say whether or when an investigation of the matter would begin.
David Berst, enforcement director of the NCAA, said the repayment plan could help the department's case in the event of an investigation by his department.
"It could help if the original use (of the credit card) was unauthorized," he said. "It depends on whether the information is correct."
Berst would not speculate on the specifics of the punishment, but he did say that if the players used the credit card without the knowledge of the staff, the players could face punishment. If the staff knew about the violations, the entire team could be punished, he said.
Former Kansas track star files suit to recover NCAA honors, records
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Reporter
A former KU track star and member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic track team has filed a suit in Douglas County District Court to recover honors earned by the University Athletic Association stripped from him in May.
Clifford Wiley, a member of KU's varsity track team from 1975 to 1978, has asked the court to force the NCAA to reinstate all places, including two on-campus locations or established as a member of KU's track team."
Also named as defendants in the suit were Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, Del Shankel, acting chancellor, the Kansas University Athletics, and the Kansas University Endowment Association.
DAVE KAYWOOD, director for the NCAA,
refused in comment yesterday about the suit.
"It's standard procedure to not comment on lawsuits here," he said.
Bob Marcum was out of town and was unavailable for comment on the suit.
Wiley's controversy with the NCAA began in March 1976 when the athletic association asked him to return $200 of scholarship money. He had received a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant
in addition to a full athletic scholarship, NCAA rules prohibit receiving both.
WILEY REFUSED to return the scholarship money, however, contending that it was awarded according to financial need and had nothing to do with athletics.
"It's discrimination to allow some students to receive money from a federal program and not others," Wiley said yesterday. "I've known quite a few athletes who had to drop out of school because the scholarships they received weren't enough to cover expenses."
Wiley said that KU had requested he return to school. He did not have received from his scholarship in March 1976.
"They said that because I was receiving a full scholarship, I couldn't get the grant money on top of it," he said. "They wanted me to give it back to the athletic department to make up the difference between what I was allowed and what I received."
LATER THAT month, Wiley was notified that he was in violation of ARA rules for financial records. The ARA issued a notice.
The NCAA ruled him ineligible to compete in March 1976. Wiley, however, was allowed to compete under the protection of an injunction against the Federal District Court in Topeka later that month.
The court, in addition to granting the injunction, declared the challenged NCAA rules unconstitutional.
The NCAA appealed the case to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in December 1979. The appellate court nullified the lower court's opinion, lacking a federal question. Wiley petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, but the court refused in May.
Shortly after the Supreme Court's refusal, the NCAA notified Wiley that they were stripping him of all places, honors, awards and records he had received during his KU career. The NCAA also took away all team points Wiley earned for KU during competition.
THE NCAA's action took eight All-Amera honors from Wiley and enough team points from KU's total to cost the track the 1979 outing. Big Eight track championships, Wiley said.
After receiving a degree in political science from KU in 1978, Wiley went to Houston to train for the Olympic team. He was selected as a four-star player and earned much of 1979 in European competing and training.
He was a member of a 1974 400-meter relay team that set a world's record that still stands.
Wiley returned to KU in August to attend the School of Law.
Bernstein said there was iniquity in the funding of the transportation system because every student paid $6 in fees for the system, although many never used it.
Debate
From page 1
He said he would not rule out federal funds to help the bus system, but better cooperation with the city was needed. He also suggested that a bus operator might many be better able to run the bus service.
The candidates also disagreed on the causes of and the solutions to the problem of pademia toward the poor.
BERNSTEIN SAID that apathy did not "run rampant" on campus but that students were frustrated because their input often was ignored by Student Senate and the administration.
He said the Senate could gain credibility by giving students a voice in the decision-making
Coleman said more information should be made available to students about how Senate
Speakers at living groups and audio-visual
presentations would help Senate convey its message of activity, Coleman said.
He also advocated more use of the University Daily Kansan for advertising and public communication.
METZGER SAID apathy was a problem, and the students participated in a committee with direct contact with students.
He also said public opinion poll and surveys could be used to get responses from students at the university.
Metzger said videotaping was important in crime prevention and detection and it also could be used to create a video for public use.
The candidates approved of the Chancellor's Blue Ribbon Committee on Freedom of Speech report, although Bernstein pointed out that the videotaking issue was not included in the report.
All the candidates stressed the importance of minority issues and involvement in Student Services.
Octavio Viveros, chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, said the debate provided important candidate exposure that would help students make their choices.
