Lessig says new AD will face problems
Jim Lessig, former KU athletic director who last week resigned to become commissioner of the Mid-American Conference, said yesterday that his replacement would face several problems.
"KU needs to be in a position to fill the stadium and field house," he said. "The number one problem at KU is how to increase income . . ."
He said he thought KU had made progress toward this in the five months he was here by increasing communication with alumni and students.
"I was most pleased that we reinvolved students with athletics and encouraged them toward
athletics are better, than that was my biggest accomplishment."
Lessig said that KU needed an indoor practice area.
"I WANTED to start a private drive-riving library to build a place where football, baseball and track teams could work inside during bad weather so that they can have some type of indoor workout area in order to remain competitive."
Another problem his successor and the athletic department may face is an NCAA investigation.
"It's a cloud hanging over the athletic department that has already

doe damage," he said. "I think people would like to see the NCNA get on it or get off of it. it is the uncertainty that it is happening, it hurts you mentally."
LAST SPRING, KU received a letter from the NCAA stating that the NCAA would bring a preliminary inquiry into alleged recruiting violations. The de-
eigned inquiry are kept secret until a formal investigation is initiated, if there is one.
Although he had been criticized by some for leaving because of the lack of his knowledge, he became the job with the Mid-American Conference offered new opportunities.

RUMINATIONS OF A K.U. CONSERVATIVE FORUM-INSPIRED
NUCLEAR FREEZE CONVERT
While Mr. Johnson and his conservative cohorts will the Soviet unwillingness to permit periodic inspections would result in their failing to abide by the terms of the Freeze, two seismologists claim, in the October issue of Scientific American, that "the state of knowledge of seismology and the techniques for monitoring seismic waves are sufficient . . . to police a comprehensive test ban down to explosions of very small size."
Although Mr. Johnson holds that the United States is without a missile defense system while the Soviets have one, no public figure on either side of the iron Curtain seems to be aware of this alleged discrepancy. Indeed, such Soviet notables as Messrs. Brenzey, browney and Andropov have each acknowledged the catastrophic nuclear war, when according to either Arthur Cox, Soviet TV shows have portrayed more勾�usement than U.S. TV the devastation that would result from such an event.
Mr. Jeff Johnson, the president of the Kansas University Conservative Forum, recently sent a letter to President Reagan urging him to disregard the results of the forthcoming nuclear freeze opinion poll because the Lawrence Coition for Peace and Justice had been guilty of "conducting an orchestrated propaganda campaign in an attempt to manipulate public opinion at K.U. and in Lawrence." Evidently Mr. Johnson doesn't realize that our relatively flexible political system owes its existence in large part to "orchestrated propaganda campaign(s)" designed to gain public support. Propaganda, which the dictionary defines as "doctrines, ideas, arguments, facts or allegations spread by deliberate effort . . . in order to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause," can be either true or false:
When Mr. Johnson and his compatriots claim that the Nuclear Freeze "would force the United States into a position of inferiority to the Soviet Union," they forget that the Freeze calls upon the United States and the Soviet Union to agree to a mutual and disjointed production, manufacturing and deployment of nuclear warheads, missiles and delivery systems.
“But isn't it (ii) really naive to simplistically trust that a spiraling arms race will not get out of control, that computer errors and human errors will not occur, that the new technology in weapons will not make the whole race more dangerous in the near future? . . . Do we want to trust our security to a new generation of nuclear weapons which may well put the strategic forces of the power superiors on hair-triggers? . . . It is the Freeze Movement which,” by recognizing our need to “adapt to a changing world situation and . . . arms race, ... promises to be the best option before us at this time.”
Despite his having uncovered "more than sufficient evidence that the freeze movement has been infiltrated by the KGB," Mr. Johnson has apparently not bothered to transmit this information to the appropriate legal authorities. Instead Mr. Johnson claims that "The Soviet Union is using (these) people who are very goodwillied, and good-intentioned but naive." In response to this charge the proponents of the Nuclear Freeze say:
