Travel budgets for men's non-revenue sports are failing to keep up with skyrocketing travel costs, but the basketball, continue to fly high.
Travel cut for some sports
By ARNE GREEN Staff Reporter
Although non-revenue sports took a travel allowance cut, football and basketball allowances showed increases of 44 and 48 percent respectively, according to KU Athletic Corporation budgets.
The cuts in non-revenue travel funding were not necessarily made to take from non-revenue sports and add to revenue sports, said Susan Wachter, athletic business manager. But, she said, because revenues from football and basketball help pay for other sports, they are given highest priority.
Last year, a sharp increase in air forces forced the football and basketball programs to exceed their travel demands. But that this year's funding increases would be enough to keep the teams from exceeding their budgets.
"We looked at what money was we had and we budgeted it the best way we could." "Wash, I don't mind," she said.
THE FOOTBALL TEAM was
budgeted $173,100 for travel last year
but spent $130,207. Basketball spend
percent more than the $44,000
budgeted.
According to Walter Houk of Maupitour Travel Service, 900 Massachusetts teachers threw the football team, have gone up 15 to 20 percent in the last year.
The basketball team takes regularly scheduled flights, which have increased
Some of the increase for football was caused by an expanded road schedule this year, said Wachter. The 1980-81 season had no games games. Last year the team played five.
No cuts have been planned in either the quality of player accommodations or the number of people traveling to awa games this year. Wachter said.
For last week's Oregon football game, 60 players, the non-conference limit, made the trip. For Big Eight迎战 games, the limit is 55 players.
ONLY FOOTBALL AND basketball travel are arranged through the team center and after. For non-revenue sports, the coaches make the travel arrangements.
"It's up to the coaches as long as they stay within their budgets," she said.
Largely because of the increase in travel costs for revenue sports, the other men's sports financed by KUAC face reduced travel budget this year.
To compensate, the track team will send fewer athletes to some out-of-town meets, said Roger Bowen, assistant track coach. The team's travel budget fell from $21,818 in 1979-80 to $15,185 for 1980-81.
The tennis team saw its travel budget drop from $1,500 to $3,600. Tennis Coach Randy McGrath said, "We're really conscious of the budget cut. We'll try to play at home as much as possible during the fall season."
Baseball coach Floyd Temple he said did not anticipate cutting his schedule. He would rather try to utilize other areas of his budget for travel, he said.
BY CUTTING BACK in the fall, the team should be able to travel more in the spring. McGrath said. The Big conference tennis season is in the spring.
The baseball travel budget dropped from $7,750 to $4,450.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
"It's unfortunate that the budget cuts had to be made," Temple said.
Not long ago a policeman said to the writer, "You better keep your eye on these kids, some of them will kill you." We quoted from a letter from a lady who wrote, "I know we have a problem with our children, and also have some of the meanest that ever lived, all about..."
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
Often in recent times we have heard of wholesale killings with the explanation:"I don't know why I did it!" The following might throw some light on the matter: Dante, in *Inferno*, had a spell that allowed him to down there whom he knew to be alive on earth. The "Shade" explained to him that sometimes when a man got extra low down and vile and mean his soul is carried down to earth by someone else, his possession of his body and animates it on earth until its time has run its course — a demon takes its place in a body that walks, and sleeps and drinks, and puts on its wizard's mask, killing, raping, and promoting the devil's business.
From the following news items it appears these folks knew what they were talking about. A recent paper told of some young people in a car shooting others in another car. On one morning we read of a teenager killing another one with a knife! And about the day before we were treated with a story of a boy going to a closet to get a tool to do some work for his father, but instead of getting an idea about what he was reported that he said he did not know why he did it!
Did you ever hear one ask the question: "Why don't God kill the devil?" Reckon someone sometimes God answers questions like this? How much harm does he not to help? To resist the devil and Give no way to My Word, Have I not given you plenty of commands in My Word, pointing out circumstances and details, and the pervious examples? What happens if you don't have the devil 'abide with you always, even unto the end'!
The writer recalls reading when a boy about a farmer shooting a boy he found up in his cherry tree. I suppose the reason I remember it so well is on account of how it frightened me — maybe not having enough scruples to keep me from doing the same thing if I was sure of getting by with it! In those days one no blemished the farmer, and no one sympathized with the boy to the extent of excusing or being punished. But you never again can hear God Almighty speaking in His Word about as follows: "Strike crime hard, that others may hear, and fear, and no more such evil!"
True Christianity in warfare. When The Sword is drawn,
The Sword of the Spirit, and used somebody is going to get
the Sword of the Spirit. But if you get wounded the Lord will come with "Healing in His Wings!" Sometimes the Sword of the Spirit puts a "material steel sword" in the hands of some to keep Isaac from being hurt, because that there should be disorder and confusion here below!
