Volleyball roster changes as team begins road series
By ROBERT WHITMAN Staff writer
The Kansas volleyball team begins the last leg of a nearly month-long series of matches away from home today with the first of two matches in the Southern Illinois tournament in Carbondale, Ill.
The Jayhaws have made changes in their roster this week. Beth White, a 5-foot-9 redshirt freshman, quit the team Monday and Shelly Jorgensen has been added to the team, Kansas coach Frankie Albitz said.
The Jayhawks, 6-11, will play Wyoming at 4:30 p.m. in the first round of the Carbondale tournament. Southern Illinois will play Mississippi at 7 p.m. in the other first-round game. The tournament concludes with the consolation and championship finals tomorrow.
Albiz said that while the team had won two of its last three matches, the most important thing was that it was playing better.
"I told them if they didn't win another match, and kept improving, it could be a successful season," Albizt said. "If we win those Big Eight matches at home, we'll be right back where we were last year."
Kansas, 1-4 in conference matches,
will play three Big Eight Conference
matches in five days at Allen Field
House starting Oct. 16.
The newly added Jorgensen, a 5-10 sophomore middle blocker, transferred to Kansas from Chapman College in Orange, Calif.
"We gained her the day after we lost Beth. Somebody's watching over us," Albitz said.
Jorgensen accompanied the team on its trip to Columbia, Mo., to play
Missouri, but did not play, nor did she go with the team to Carbondale, Ill. Albitz said jorgensen might be redshirt this year because she hadn't learned the Jayhawks' playing system.
White, a 5-9 middle blocker, said she quit the team because she was falling behind in her class work. In trying to catch up with her class work, White said, she didn't have enough energy to play volleyball as well as she could.
"I'm here to go to school and that has to come before anything else," said White, a graphic arts major. "It wasn't anything to do with the program and I really hated to do it when the team is struggling.
"I'm going to try and catch up. She (Albitz) said I could come out in the spring if I wanted to."
Harriers tune up for league meet tomorrow at Sooner Invitational

In three weeks, everything will be at stake. That's when the Big Eight Conference cross country meet takes place in Norman, Oka., on Halloween. Tomorrow's Sooner Invitational is somewhat of a dress rehearsal.
That's how the men's and women's cross country teams will consider it.
"If we don't work hard now," said men's coach Bob Timmons, "we won't be at the level we want to be when we get to (the) conference (meet). The truth is I still don't know very much about the conference."
Five Big Eight schools are entered in the Sooner Invitational. Host Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Colorado and Kansas State will compete along with the Jawhayks, Arkansas, Central
The women's race begins at 3:30 p.m. with the men to follow.
Oklahoma State, Oklahoma Christian College, Oklahoma Baptist and Barton County Community College round out the field.
It will be the first chance for the women's team to face its Big Eight counterparts. Coach Cliff Rovello's squad has run against conference favorite Nebraska twice, but has not met its other league rivals.
The women had last weekend off and have had the past two weeks to work on distance work for the 3,000-meter meet.
meter twice.
The men are coming off an impressive showing at last weekend's Cowboy Jamboree at Oklahoma State. The main emphasis this week will be tightening the
team's pack, Timmons said.
("Craig) Watchee's got quite a jump on Steve (Heffernan). We've got to get Steve closer to Craig in the next three weeks." Timmons are sure pretty close together. We've just got to move that group up."
As they reach the home stretch of the season, the men will be without junior Mike Spielman, who is sidelined with mononucleosis.
"We're working to see how we do, not only in conference, but in the qualifying meet." Timmons said.
Since it is the veteran coach's final year, there is a bigger than usual push to win the conference meet.
"Everyone's going all out, even the
hurtest." Like it's 's' their last
harm. WATCHED.
