Basketball players used coach's credit card
At least three players on the KU men's basketball team violated National Collegiate Athletic Association rules by making long-distance calls with an assistant coach's credit card during games.
The players, Ricky Ross, Darnell Valentine and Tony Guy, violated the NCAA's extra benefit rule.
A check of athletic department telephone records has shown that the players used the credit card number assigned by the athletic department to the assistant coach, Lafayette Norwood, to make the calls to friends and relatives in October 1979 and January 1980.
ACCORDING TO THE NCAA constitution,
"special arrangements designed to provide a student-athlete, his relatives or other friends with extra benefits not made available to them"
"special arrangements for relatives or other friends" constitutes pay for participation. According to Dale Smith enforcement representative for the NCAA, the phone calls would fall under this rule.
"If a player uses a department phone or credit card to call a girlfriend or his parents or some other relatives, then that call violates the rule," Smith said yesterday.
But Acting Chancellor Del Shankel said last night that the matter had been brought to his attention.
"It is my understanding that measures have been taken (by the athletic department)," Shane said.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Bob Marcum was in Golden, Colo., last night for the KU-Colorado football game tomorrow in Boulder. Repeated phone calls to his hotel failed to reach him. The KU football team will be staying tonight in Golden.
The credit card number is no longer in use. On Jan. 28, Joe Biedron, then business manager for
the athletic department, sent a memorandum to all University coaches and staff saying that the "University has canceled the use of all commercial telephone credit cards due to the fact that the KANS-A-N telephone system has expanded its service."
The KANS-A-N line is a private long-distance telephone system used by state agencies
Ross, a sophomore from Wichita, was the most flagrant abuser of the credit card during the two months that were checked. For the period covered by the Jan. 27, 1980, phone bill, 30 phone calls charged to Norwood's credit card number were made from Ross' phone number. Those calls originated from Maloney's residence in Wichita, and five calls to Maloney Smith of Wichita. Phone calls to both residences showed that Donda Maloney is Ross' girlfriend and Smith is Ross' mother.
Maloney and Smith said that Ross had made phone calls to them during his freshman season. Both said that Ross still called them, but Maloney did not know how Ross paid for the calls to her.
Smith, however, said that during one phone call she had with Ross, he said that he had a phone bill to pay. She did not specify whether that statement was made recently or last year.
Twenty-six phone calls amounting to $287.17 on the Jan. 27 bill were curbed by Norwood. Norwood had written at the bottom of the bill that the circled amounts should not be paid for by the athletic department. Norwood's total bill for the period from Dec. 26, 1979 to Jan. 26, 1980 was $801.12, including the circled calls. Ross's mother and mother received 22 of the circled calls. The rest were paid for by the athletic department it is unknown whether Ross paid for the circled calls.
Several of Ross' circled phone calls to his girlfriend were long. A Jan. 26 call at 15:07 p.m., which followed two earlier ones from Ross' residence, lasted 920 minutes and cost $8.80.
ON DEC. 30, Maloney received a 128-minute phone call costing $23.23 from a number in Tucson, Ariz., charged to Norwood's credit card. KU played Arizona State University in
Tempe, Ariz., on Dec. 29 and at the University of Arizona in Tucson on Dec. 31.
At 11:41 p.m. on Jan. 12, 1980, Maloney received a 238-hour phone call calling $33.86 from a number in Des Moines, Iowa. KU played Iowa State University that day in Armes, Iowa.
The Oct. 27, 1979, phone bill for Norwood showed that Tony Guy's Lawrence phone number received six phone calls from Mullens, W. Va., and one phone call from Baltimore. None of those calls were circled and evidently had been paid for by the athletic department.
ON OCT 1, 1979, a number in Dundalk, Md., received a 46-minute call costing $12.21 from an unknown number in Lawrence. A phone call by the Kansan to the Dundalk number revealed that a close friend of Guy's had received calls from him during that time.
Kassebaum say U.S. should improve influence, credibility in Latin America
"I've known Tony for about two years," said Sheree Wilcox, the person reached at the number. "He used to meet my sister, Kathy." Guy is a lunette from Towson, Md.
Three other calls on the Oct. 27 bill were made from an unknown Lawrence phone number. Two of the calls were to the K.J. Valentine residence and a call to the K.J. Valentine was made to Carlene Valentine in Pittsburg.

One task of the incoming Reagan administration will be to restore U.S. influence and credibility in Central America, an area largely occupied by Nicaragua, Sen. Nancy Kasebaum said here last night.
For the most part, the attitude of the United States toward Latin America has been characterized by "a lack of concern and a blindness to the problem," according to R.Kan, told about 75 people in the Kansas Union.
"We have been content to the sleeping giant of Latin America slumber on," she said. "We only have noticed the countries who are in great distress and have problems with that can no longer be ignored."
Failure to develop consistent and strong policies for dealing with Central American countries is a threat to U.S. national security, economy and self-respect, she said.
KASSEBAUM, the keyen speaker for KU's first conference on international affairs, said the nations of Central America had close economical and historical ties to the United States.
"Latin American countries are committed to development and rapid modernization," Kassebaum said. "They have sought to industrialize by protecting their infant enterprises and allowing expansion of Latin manufacturing."
Increased economic competition between Latin America and the United States will strain their relations, and the situation demands an adjustment to the dynamics of stability on the part of the U.S. government, she said.
The recent election of Edward Seaga as prime minister of Jamaica was a serious backset for Fidel Castro's Cuban regime and an encouraging stimulus to the United States, K萨基萨说.
The victory of Seaga and the Jamaican Labor Party has been viewed by world leaders as a move from socialism toward a free enterprise system of government.
"The Jamaican election may instill in the Latin leaders a more cautious attitude toward Castro's overtures," she said. "We can see that the domino effect is not inevitable."
MEXICO, WITH its discovery of vast reserves of oil and natural gas, suddenly has found itself the center of American attention, Kassebaum said.
U. S. refusals to treat the issues of oil, trade and migration as a package deal, have caused a significant increase in deaths.
"But Mexico's prosperity, stability and well-being are much more than any other country. Like Latin America," she says.
"President-elect Reagan should move quickly toward finding a new playing field with Mexico." If a special World Bank Fund, which has recently been proposed, is formed, the United States should give it top priority, Kassebaum said.
THE FUND WOULD pay for the construction of roads and irrigation systems in poor rural areas.
Other Central American countries, such as Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras, also have undergone major changes in recent years, Kassebaum said.
KASSEBAUM SAID she considered such aid to be "a logical and temporary response . . . necessary to avoid Nicaragua's forced dependence on Cuba and the Soviet bloc."
The new regime in Nicaragua is eager to collaborate with the United States, known by its resemblance to U.S. economic policies.
"The possibility of another Cuba certainly can't be denied, but economic aid is a challenge."
Since 1977, President Carter has persisted in linking the distribution of foreign aid to the policies of human rights followed by other countries, she said.
Such attempts to influence the internal policies of foreign countries are unnecessarily risky, and the Reagan administration may take a different approach in establishing foreign aid programs, she said.
The international affairs conference, focusing this year on Central America, will continue today with sessions on U.S. foreign policy in the Caribbean, the culture of Latin America and the effects of recent events on U.S.-Latin American relations.

Dean tackles daily duties of professor and physician
By LINDA ROSEWICZ Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—The bare white walls in his pale blue-carpeted office give away the fact that the new dean of the School of Medicine hasn't been around for too long.
But in the 11 days since he took over the position, Marvin Duvin has submerged himself in all of the duties as head of the school at the University of Kansas College of Health Sciences.
He has just been too busy with 11-hour work-
with his favorite stork the stark office walls with his favorites.
Every morning since Nov. 3, when Dunn began his job as dean, he has arrived at 7:30 at the University of Kansas Medical Center to begin his medical duties, including the doctor, professor and chief school administrator.
To fit in all of his daily activities, Dunn makes up schedule cards to list his hourly duties and appointments. The time slots are solidly booked with steps into his office until at least 5:30 each evening.
"My days are full of meetings," he said yesterday. "I meet with administrators; I meet with patients; I talk to complaining students on which I touch on my lance and then have more meetings."
"I don't think my new position has altered my job as an instructor," Dunn said. "I never wanted to have to sit in an office all day and be a teacher, and I will always be a, doctor and a teacher."
His students accompany Dunn to the Cardiology Unit, his specialty field, at the Med Center daily to examine and care for patients. He is the chairman of that unit.
DUNN'S TEACHING duties do not include classroom lectures because his students are completing the clinical, or learn-by-doing, part of their medical education.
Along with the extra time he spends at the Med Center, Dunn said he loaded up at least two hours worth of office work in his briefcase each evening to take to his Mission Hills home.
"I'm real glad that my period of transition into this office came when my clinical duties were completed."
basy at the hospital, too. I don't know if I'd have adjusted as well."
Marvin Dunn
DUNN SAID HE has had less time to relax at home and is now in position, but his life has been changed very much.
In "whatever spare time can be found," Dunn said he was also in the process of re-writing a book about his life.
Dunn said he plans to keep up with all of his jobs for as long as he can, though.
"I always find time to be with my family," Dunn said. "I also keep my tennis game sharp by playing on Saturday evening and Monday afternoon."
"You know, it's really good thing I expected this much work when I took the job," he said. "If I didn't expect it, I'd be worse."
"As long as I can handle it all, I'll be here," he said.
Shankel tells Carlin salaries inadequate

TOPEKA- Proposed raises for KU faculty and staff were called top budget priorities by Acting Chancellor Del Shankel in a meeting yesterday with Gov. John Carlin.
Carlin received budget requests from all state institutions yesterday.
Shankel told Carlin that raises in salary, especially a 10 percent wage increase for unclassified employees, were necessary if KU was receiving its employees from seeking better paying jobs.
"We've already lost a chancellor and a dean of the School of Business," Shankel said. "We've also lost several fine professors to other institutions."
Carlin will make his budget recommendations to the Legislature when it convenes in January.
THE KANSAS Board of Regents requested a $144.4 million budget for the University of Kansas for fiscal year 1982. But Ed Ahren, acting state budget director, pared the Regents request to $131.4 million, a difference of $13 million.
Shankel and other KU officials argued against a revision that would limit unclassified salary raises to 5 percent for fiscal 1982, which begins July 1, 1981.
Shankel supported KU's request by citing an American Association of University Professors survey that placed KU salaries below 60 percent of the institutions surveyed in fiscal 1980.
Hanskel also presented figures from another report that showed the average salary for KU students at Saskatchewan.

Shankel told Carlin that some faculty members were in financial trouble because of low
KU's peer institutions are the University of Colorado, the University of Iowa, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, the University of Oregon and the University of Oklahoma. Peer institutions are schools of similar size and curriculum.
"Younger faculty members are having trouble putting meat on the table," he said.
Shankel said it was essential that the University receive the funds to cover increased

Senate rules allow it to pass legislation without quorum. But if anyone requests a quorum call, the senator may not approve.

Dan Cunningham, ASHC senator, moved to adjourn before discussion on the proposed new administration.
The Senate has one representative from the All Scholarship Hall Council, the Association of University Residence Halls, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Association and from Campus. Gordon had said he did not think the Senate could effectively deal with housing problems.
