High sets record
The Indian summer that touched Lawrence yesterday brought the area's warmest October temperatures since 1928.
"If they had given all the groups what was justified they would have given out $30,000, and we simply don't have to give," Schnacke said.
The high temperature yesterday was a degree, which brought the previous records to an upper limit.
He said today's record high, also set in 1928, might be broken.
Randy Baker of the KU Weather Service said the high was recorded about 3:40 p.m.
The record for today's date is 90 degrees, he said and the predicted high for tomorrow is 85 degrees.
NCAA moving to include women's sports
By ARNE GREEN
Staff Reporter
The National College Athletic Association, which governs men's sports at major universities, soon is replacing its women's sports at Division I schools.
Last year, the NCAA voted to sponsor championships for women at Division II and III schools, and in January it might extend the championships to I. Steve Morgan, an NCAA enforcement representative, said yesterday.
Championships for women's sports at NCAA Division I schools currently are sponsored by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.
University of Kansas men's sports are in Division I.
In 1979, KU's men and women's athletic departments merged, but with sponsorship in separate organizations, women were born men and women are quite different.
THE MOST NOTABLE differences are in recruiting and academic eligibility regulations. AIAW rules prohibit coaches from approaching recruits off campus except by phone or via telephone. These coaches to visit recruits and to arrange campus visits. Men have stricter academic standards than the women.

parallel rules for men's and women's sports would be helpful.
"I believe some form of common governance would be most acceptable to the University of Kansas because it offers greater and more equitable." Howlett said.

"If they continue to allow for women, it will nothing but enthusiastic support," she said.

other things," Brinkman said. "I guess most universities are going in that direction so sooner we get some common ground and women, the better off we'll be."
Athletic Director Bob Marcum said he thought the NCAA eventually would sponsor women's championships at Division I schools.
Member schools must submit amendment proposals for consideration at the NCAA's January convention before Nov. 1.
Doctors slow spread of venereal disease
By RAY FORMANEK Staff Reporter
Doctors have known how to cure syphilis since 1909 and gonorrhea since 1943. But not until recent years have they been able to slow the spread of general disease, which reached epidemic proportions in the early 1970s.
The number of reported cases of gonorrhea nationwide skyrocketed from 258,000 in 1960 to 1,013,000 last year, according to Larry Burt, chief disease section for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
The nationwide gonorrhea rate, however, has remained close to 468 cases for each 100,000 people for the past three years, Burt said.
The number of gomorrhea cases in Kansas has followed the national trend.
BURT SAID Kansas had a total of 9,342 reported cases of gonorrhea in him. He said the state's total of 4,250 gonorrhea cases in 1980 was very close to the 1979 rate.
Douglas County reported 294 gonorrhea cases in 1979. The
county's report of 143 cases during the first six months of 1980 was slightly below the 1979 rate, Burt said.
Kansas had fewer than 90 reported cases of primary syphilis in 1979, and this year's rate is even lower.
"We're in a practical control situation with syphilis," Burt said. "We still have a few cases, but most come in from out of state."
Burt attributed the decline in syphilis to improved tracing of people who had contact with carriers of the disease.
THE NUMBER OF venereal disease cases reported at the KU health service at Watkins Hospital has remained stable since 1975, according to Martin Wollmann, director of the health service.
Wollmann said the KU health service detected between 50 and 90 cases of gonorrhea a year out of the nearly 10,000 tests for venereal disease run each year. The syphilis rate between two and five cases a year.
"We routinely test for gonorrhea and syphilis in any blood or urine sample we take." Wollmann said.
