Manning can't be in pregnancy flyer
By DARRIN STINEMAN Staff writer
Kansas All-America forward Danny Manning unknowingly was the subject of a flyer intended to prevent teen-age pregnancies. But the flyer has been scrapped because the Kansas Athletic Department will not allow Manning to be the poster person.
Mike Brown of the Haskell Indian Health Center devised the poster with the intention of distributing it to church members and churchites, but Manning won't be on it.
Brown said the Athletic Department would not allow him to ask Manning to support his cause because NCAA rules for bcollege athletes to have their names used for promotions.

When Manning was showed the poster on Tuesday, he said he had never seen it and that he hadn't been there. He added that anyone else associated with the cause.
"Real men don't help make unplanned babies." The poster also said that it was only a draft and wasn't meant for distribution.
Brown said he sent the poster along with letters and teen-age abortion, birthrate, and sexually-transmitted disease statistics to area newspapers to explain how he wanted to promote the campaign.
"I was looking for a role model-type person." Brown said. "Since he went to Lawrence High and he's generally well-thought of and obviously well-known, I thought if I could get into the message and orientation to the message I want to get across to male teen-agers in Lawrence and Douglas County."
Brown said he contacted the Topeka Sizzlers to try to get former
Kansas basketball players Calvin Thompson and Ron Kellogg, but he didn't back from him.
"I thought they would be free of NCAA rules and regulations Danny Manning would have to abide by," Brown said.
Brown is campaigning to get public schools to offer education on human sexuality and the prevention of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The Kansas State Board of Education will vote in November whether to require Kansas schools to offer such courses, one of the letters mailed with the poster said.
As it stands now, Brown said he himself would be the subject of the poster.
Senior nervous about Big 8 cross country meet

Trisha Mangan has been transformed into a freshman. With little more than one week before her last Big Eight Conference women's cross country meet, the senior is having butterflies.
"I think I'm more nervous than I ever have been," Mangan said. "There's a lot more at stake. I'm actually running fairly well. There are a lot of personal goals I want to reach."
Mangan is having mixed emotions about ending the most successful cross country season of her career.
"I'm kind of excited to get out and run," she said, "but at the same time, when the meet's over, cross her sister's over for me. So it's kind of sad."
It is ironic that Mangan is mourning the end of her cross country career. As one of the Big Eight's top 1,500-meter runners, Mangan used the fall mostly to train for track in her first three seasons.

"I's such a difference," Mangan said. "Even now when I get to the office, I don't want to quit it, quits. It is hard to keep myself running strong through the finish."
Still, she's planning to try the 3,000-meter run instead of the familiar 800-meter race this spring.
At last weekend's Pittsburgh State Invitational, Mangan finished ninth in 18-51 — a personal record. The old year was set during her freshman year.
"The way I looked at that is I finally ran faster." Mangan said. "With the training I've done this year, it was just a matter of time. I wish it wouldn't have taken so long."
Senior Trisha Mangan is Kansas' No. 2 cross country runner behind freshman Sue MacLean.
Mangan started running at age 10
with the Sterling, III., Track Club. She won the Class A state championship in the 800-meter run as a sophomore at Sterling Newman High
School. She couldn't run in her senior year because of a stress fracture in her foot
By the end of her freshman year on
the kU cross country team, she had developed four stress fractures. Mangan recovered in time for track but never got into condition.
"I was always a step behind," Mangan said. "It was hard mentally as well as physically."
In spring of her sophomore track season, Mangan quit the team.
"I had to hit bottom to realize what I was almost ready to give up," she said. "Things had gone so well for so long that I sounded to have some disappointments."
When Mangan, a physical therapy major who has a 3.6 grade point average, returned for the cross-counseling, Rovetto named her team captain.
“Trisha leads by example,” Rovelot said. “She always leads workouts and tries to do her best. She does the things you want to see every body.”
Mangan said she had done better because she had stopped pressuring herself and increased her workload.
"Last year, over Christmas break,
"I increased my mileage a lot, and
I realized it wasn't that hard to go out
and run by myself." Mangan said.
"It's been a long battle to run well,
but I've finally had two successful
seasons. Even if it stopped right now,
I be satisfied."
Mangan said she was hoping to finish in the top 25 at the Big Eight meet.
"I'm going to know myself whether I did my best and be satisfied that it was all worth it," she said.
Tennis team to play in premier tourney

BY DARRIN STINEMAN
The Kansas men's tennis team will be in Wichita this week competing in the Inter-Collegiate Tennis Coaches of America-Roxole Indoor Qualifier, the premier individual event of the fall season.
The tournament is one of eight regional tournaments in which the winners and runners-up of the singles competitions advance to the national event in Minneapolis. The winners of the doubles events also advance.
at large berths will be given. Eight doubles teams will be chosen at large to compete with the eight teams that will win the regional tournament.
Kansas will send senior Larry Pascal, junior Jim Secrest, sophomores Craig Wildey and Chris Walker and freshmen John Falbo and Jeff Gross as singles competitors. The Kansas doubles teams will be Willey-Walker, Falbo-Pascal and Secrest-Gross.
"This is the top individual event of the fall as far as the fall season goes," Coach Scott Perelman said. "The winner of the tournament is
considered the best player in the region."
The notable teams from the midwest region will be Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Wichita State, the University of Tulsa, Oral Roberts University, Nebraska and Colorado, Perelman said.
The tournament begins at noon today.
After the ITCA Rolex Indoor Qualifier this weekend, Wildey and Walker are scheduled to represent Kansas at the NCAA Division I golf tournament beginning Monday in Los Angeles.
The Kansas sophomores will be
part of a 64 player field from across the country in the individual competition and will be one of the 16 doubles teams in the main draw.
Wildey and Walker were selected by a regional committee a few weeks ago as the team to represent the midwest region in the main draw of the doubles tournament.
The tournament is called the All-American Tournament because last year's All-American tennis players are admitted to the qualifier draw of the singles tournament. Wildey and Walker will be competing in the prequalifier round as singles.
