Ryun returns for training
By MARK ZELIGMAN
Sports Editor
Former University of Kansas miler and world-record holder Jim Ryan has returned to Lawrence to train with the KU track team in preparation for the pro trac tour's indoor season, KU track coach Bob Timmons said yesterday.
Timmons said Ryun arrived in Lawrence Monday and began training Tuesday.
"Im him to be in for approximately a month," Timmons said. "He will possibly be in and out a few times more during the year."
Timmons said Ryan would have no position on KU's team in an official capacity.
Ryun's last year on the KU track team was 1968. Tymmons was Ryun's high school coach in Wichita as well as at KU. Once before, in 1972 before Ryun competed in the Olympics in Munich, Germany. Ryun came to Lawrence to train.
"He'll train right along with the other guys," Timmons said. "He won't do any special drills they won't be doing. He's been gone from our program for two years. He wants to be more involved with what we're doing here."
Ryun was the first high school athlete to run a 4-minute mile. Ryun still holds the world mile record: 3:51.1, set in 1967 in Bakersfield, Calif. That same year Ryun set the world half-mile record of 500 meters and 1:42.2 in the half-mile. For his efforts, he was named by
SPORT Magazine as the top performer in track and field for 1967.
Ryun led the KU track team to Big Eight indoor titles all four years he was here and outdoor titles three of his four years. KU won the NCAA indoor title twice when Ryun was here, in 1965-66 and 1968-69.
Ryun won the NCAA indoor mile three years in a row—1967, 66, 69. He won the NCAA outdoor race in 1967.
Yun holds six outdoor and four indoor individual KU records, ranging from the half-mile to the 5,000 meters. He on relay runners at the 2016 U.S. Olympic
He won the mile and half-mile in the Big Eight Outdoor Championships for three straight years—1967, 68, 69, Ryun was named the outstanding performer in the Kansas Relays four times—1966, 67, 69, 71.
Ryun has run in the Olympic games twice. In 1968 in Mexico City, he finished second to Kip Keino of Kenya in the 1,500 meters. In 1972 in Munich, he tripped and fell during a primary race in the 1,300 meters and failed to qualify for the final.
After the Olympic games in Munich, Ryan took a rest from competitive running for a while. In the spring of 1973, he joined the International Track Association's professional track tour. He has run on the tour the past two years, with mixed success.
Student shoplifters rarely tried
BvSTEVEFRY
By STEVETR,
City Reporter
Another student shoplifter nabbed.
George L. Catt, Municipal Court judge, said yesterday 50 to 75 students a year appeared before his court on shoplifting charges.
Students rarely go to trial on shopfitting charges, Catt said. A high percentage of students who choose to plead innocent and to go trial are convicted of shopfitting, he
Shoiplifting, called petty larceny in legal jargon, can carry a maximum $100 fee and 10 shorthands.
The $100 fine and the 10 day jail sentence are fairly standard for petty larceny convictions, the judge said. Sometimes, Catt says, he reduces or eliminates the jail sentence, depending on the size of the theft or whether the crime is the defendant's first offense. The jail sentence length also depends on the defendant's attitude in court, he said.
Catt is sterner with second time of fenders. But few people convicted of petty larceny, especially students, appear a second time in court, he said.
"Ten days in the jail is about as miserable an experience as you can hope to experience. Jail is not a very rehabilitative experience." he said.
Catt said he had heard estimates that Lawrence loses hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from shoplifting and bad checks.
He said some shoplifters steal on impulse, others on dares from peers. Some steal because they think the theft won't hurt large corporations. However, the businesses regain the money lost through theft by buying the prices on their products, Catt said.
Shopfilters aren't just stealing from large corporations but from the people who pay a higher cost on products because of the thefts. he said.
"You can't steal without loss to somebody." Catt said.
Occasionally, a defendant claims he stole
a product out of need. When this occurs, Catt tells the defendant that government welfare and several social welfare agencies may offer to afford a buy for the product they stole, he said.
Local merchants said they have had shoplifters who were KU students. Few students have been caught shoplifting from Art Cromer, Gibson's store manager.
Cromer said student shopifiers usually record books, books, cigarette and camera sales, and conduct police in all shopifiting cases and prosecutes most accused shopifiers, he
K John Kiefer, owner of Kie's Records and Stereo, said that a low percentage of the shoplifters caught in his store were KU workers. The authorities do to do nothing but watch for shoplifters.
The store prosecutes shoplifers, Kleier said, and the honest patrons pay for the goods they buy.
The KU bookstore handles shoplifters differently. When a person is caught in the theft of property, the police of the theft and sent to the dean or men dean of women, said J.D. Christ-
Donations of $19,428 to the University of Kansas Endowment Association last year put the University fourth in total alumun-
dies. The university also supported universities in the nation.
Alumni gifts up; ranking down
Todd Seymour, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said yesterday the association received support from an additional 700 donors last year.
Even though the University received an increase in alumni support, it is down in national rankings. In 1971-72 the University was second in total alumni support to the California state universities. In 1972-73 KU was second to Michigan.
In 1973-74 KU dropped to fourth, Seymour said, but he added that the University was still very prestigious and far above other schools in the Big Eight.
man, bookstore manager.
The report is put in the student's confidential file, where it remains five years for men or seven years for women. The shoplifter is notified of the report's existence in his file. The report isn't part of the student's permanent record or transcript.
Male students are invited to discuss the report with Donald K. Alderson, dean of men. The dean attempts to find the motivation for the theft, Alderson said.

Faculty exodus shakes KU's geology program
Though confronted with an unusual number of retirements, resignations and deaths, the department of geology isn't one of them. The department chairman, said Monday,
Angino said the main difficulty was that professors with particular fields of expertise had been lost. He said the departing professor, who specialized in ground water research, this mainly will affect graduate students, he said. Some students are less likely to come to the University of Kansas if they know there is no ground water research are lacking, he said.
"It's just been a weird chain of cir-
culations. The problems are in
insurmountable." Ananja said.
Professioners H. A. Ireland and Elliot Gillerman died in the past year. Another professor, Frank C. Foley, retired a year early. Paul L. HIPLM resigned as assistant of geology this summer to teach at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
Raymond C. Moore, professor emeritus of geology and co-director of the Paleontological Institute, died last spring. Curt M. Bickley, president of the Institute, will retire next spring.
The department was able to replace some of the teachers. There is one new professor, Richard A. Robison, and a visiting professor from Skidmore College who has
One course had to be canceled. "Geology in Contemporary Society." The enrollment of the course is usually 30 to 50 students. Anger, confusion and disbelief won't mean a great loss for the department.
Kerry D. Afterbend, Lawrence senior,
has the worst problem the department was
having at the time.
John W. McClure, Lecomptein graduate student, said a big problem for students would be that professors would be less available for the thesis consultation.
He said he didn't think any graduate students would leave just because of the teacher shortage. But McClure said there was always the possibility of more professors leaving because of the heavy work-load.
Alterbrend said there was also the possibility that the Paleontological Institute would run into difficulties because of the deaths and retirements.
The institute is closely allied with the department of geology. According to Angtio, its purpose is to publish the results of research in geology, a catalog of all invertebrate fossils.
But Angoina said that even with Teichert retiring, the Institute would continue functioning well. He said the loss of Moore was very great, but not insumountable.
