Sycamore head coach says team overmatched

Tom Quick, reserve wide receiver and quarterback, and John Brehm, reserve wide receiver, work on their passing game behind Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The Jayhawks will host the Indiana State Sycamores at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
Indiana State head coach Dennis Raetz said yesterday that his team was just as big an underdog to Kansas as the Jayhawks would be to Oklahoma or Nebraska.
However, Kansas head coach Bob Valesente said Indiana State was not a team to be taken for granted.
His biggest concern is whether his team is physically mature enough to withstand the pressure from Kansas in tomorrow's game.
"Anytime you talk about a Big Eight team playing a Division I-AA team, there's really not a good comparison," Raetz said. "As far as comparison and ability, you can't really mention a I-AA team in the same breath as a Big Eight team."
Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Syracomas 37-10. The Kansas offense accumulated 279 yards passing and 166 yards rushing while the defense allowed Indiana State only 247 yards of total offense.
"We're not going to go into the game with the attitude that we can beat Indiana State." backlayer John Randolph said. "We just got more breaks than they did last year. They are a very physical team."
Knee injuries were frequent for Indiana State last week as four offensive players were hurt in the 64-9 loss to Iowa State.
Although Kansas players said they wouldn't take Indiana State lightly, Raetz is concerned about the lack of experienced players on his team. The Syracuse defense is young, with three freshman and four sophomore starters.
Indiana State's major concern this season was replacing quarterback Jeff Miller, who graduated last year. Miller set 15 school and two Missouri Valley Conference records.
Despite losing Miller, the Sycamore offense still will start more experienced players than on

Comedy about divorce should open inner eye
Staff write
By PATRICIA FEENY
*Their Day*, presented as part of the Inge Theatre Series, Oct. 1-5; daily at 8 a.m. in the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office and cost $2 for students with KUID. $4 for the general public and $3 for senior citizens
Lin Holder, director of Oliver Hailey's "Father's Day," is confident that today's Midwestern audiences are more open-minded than those who saw the first Broadway production in 1971.
The play, which is a bittersweet comedy about divorce, had an eight-year absence from the Broadway stage after opening 15 years ago. Holder of the awards had been unhappy with the omen discussing their own sexuality.
The play is set in New York and centers on three divorced women who live together in the same apartment and whose ex-husbands come to visit on Father's Day. The women discuss their feelings about themselves and their relationships.
"I have faith in Midwesterners not to react the same." Holder said. "I 'm certain they will be open-minded. It will make a big difference if people approach it with an open or closed mind." Holder said.
She said one very powerful New York critic had brought the play to a close. It was the power of the press. The producers panicked and shut the theater.
*father's Day* first came to *Holden*'s attention when one of her students did a scene from it. She liked the play immediately and wanted to direct. Holden likes comments about humour but also talk of the human condition.
unil condition She doesn't enjoy pieces that rely
on slapstick comedy or stereotypes. Relationships in plays and relationships between actors are important to her.
Hotter experiments with a blend of approaches to the play and her cast. She has taught them exercises to help get in touch with their emotions. She said the actors had become far more sensitive to each other as people.
The play's cast competed with 200 other students for the six roles in "Father's Day." Holder said the actors had had two minutes to communicate genuine emotion to her.
"I look for the character's ability to convey genuine emotional quality I don't look at the technical aspects. The actor can give cold or prepared readings." Holder said.
Lynae Lehfeld, Olathe sophomore, plays the sharp-tongued Louise. She said when Hailey wrote "Father's Day" he was before his time.
"It's a great script. It really fits today. I can't believe that it was controversial. It was just before its time. It deals with the issues in divorce. Real people and real issues," Lehfeldt said.
She described her character as a flamboyant actress who hid behind an emotional mask.
"I want at the end of the play for members of the audience to turn to the person beside them and know that there was a human being sitting there," she said.
Holder said there was a profound, deep value in human contact. She hoped the play would open the audience's inner eye just a little more.
This is Lehfeldt's first KU performance.
SUA opens concert season with mainstream Nu Shooz
By NANCY BARRE
A year ago today, the band members of Nu Shooz were sitting in Portland, Ore., waiting for their next booking.
Nu Shooz, performing at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Rehearsal, a Student Union Activities ‘Standing Room Only’ Concert, The Backladers, a member local band, will be the opening ticket, Tickets are $7.50 for students with a KUID, and $8.50 for the public, Tickets are available at the SUA Box Office; all CATs outlets, Mother Earth in Topeka, The Soundshp in Manhattan, UPC Office at Kansas State University, and Campus Activities at Johnson County Community College.
Now they have a near-gold single in "I Can't Wait," and they're in the midst of a six-month nationwide tour that will bring them to Lawrence tomorrow night.
However, success didn't come quickly for the nine-member band, John Smith, the band's founder, songwriter and guitarist, formed the band seven years ago. But the band produced its first nationally released record only last year.
Rick Waritz, the band's manager, said the band experienced its first real turnabout two years ago when Smith's wife Valerie Day, became vocalist.
"We used to have a male singer, and we traded him in for a girl singer." Wartiz said.
When the band was formed, it only had four members. At one point, membership rose to 13 people, and now the band has nine members.
"In the past year or so, the members have been pretty stable," Waritz said. "But when you are only a local band, people tend to come and go."
People usually don't want to leave a band when it has just produced a number one hit single and has another single, "Point of No Return," on the top 40 chart, Wartz said.
Wartz said the band members knew they had something after they recorded "I Can't Wait." They immediately sent it out to local disc jockeys to get air time, and they also sent it to record companies as a demo.
The record became an instant local hit, so the band members formed their own production company, Poolside Records, to release the song nationally.

John Smith and Valerie Day are members of Nu Shooz, a band that will be performing at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas University Ballroom.
Waritz said the song caught on in the Netherlands first and then became popular in New York dance clubs.
"The song came to the states as a Dutch import." he said. "So everyone thought we were a Dutch group. They asked me why a Dutch group was living in Portland."
"I guess it just shows that there is no stopping a hit record."
wartiz said the band received an excellent response during recent stops in Iowa and at the University of Missouri at Columbia
University of Missouri Student Union Activities is bringing Nu Shooz to KU as part of its "Standing Room Only" concert series.
Angie Kuttler, Eldorado senior and a member of SUA's concert committee, said ticket sales for the concert had been about average so far.
Last year, SUA sponsored avant-garde groups such as Wall of Vooord and Jason and the Scorchers, but this year they are concentrating on groups, such as NW Shooz, which are mainstream and pop-oriented.
"We want to try to appeal to a larger audience," Kuttler said.
