On the record
AN 18-YEAR-OLD EUDORA man shot himself through the shoulder with a .22 caliber rifle while he was cleaning the gun early Sunday morning, a Douglas County sheriff's official said yesterday.
The official said the bullet went through the man's left shoulder. The
man, David Wayland, was reported in satisfactory condition at Lawrence Memorial Hospital yesterday.

Computers are cheaper more popular,prof says
By DONNA KELLER Staff Reporter
More students are using computers because of industry equipment donated by the company.
because lower prices make computers available to students for home use, a computer science professor said yesterday.
Earl Schwepe, professor of computer science, said it was not uncommon to find students using computers in their homes.
"It will be even more common in the future," Schweppe said. He said home is where his kids spend most of their time.
SCHWEPPE SAID one of the reasons interest had increased in home computer systems was that the prices were dropping rapidly
"What cost $3,000 10 years ago now costs $500 to $600. When you account for inflation, that's a 10-fold decrease," he said. "Can you name any other commodity that is 10 times cheaper than it was 10 years ago?"
Schweppe said home computer systems were not only less expensive, but also had greater memory capacity, with fewer processors and required less renoir than in the past.
"People use them for all sorts of purposes," Schweppe said.
HE SAID some cities were experimenting with cable TV shopping. Customers view merchandise on a television screen, then call and place their orders, which arrive by mail within days. Schwene said.
"When you consider the energy shortage, it's easier to do things electronically than with gasoline," he not only is it cheaper, but it's faster."
Schwepe said that he had heard of a few colleges that were planning to provide each student with his own computer.
He said that although he knew of many graduate students, faculty and community members that had either basic or more sophisticated systems in their homes, he did not know how many students in Lawrence used them.
STEVEN STRUKEL, Toppera senior,
he said he his computer for games.
He said that he had done the minor assembly required for his home computer system, and that there was a lot of software in equipment available for the system.
"You can make it as cheap or inexpensive as you want." Strulke said. Paul Trambarulo, Red Bank, N.J., freshman, and computer science masters, had assembled his home computer system from a $100 mail order kit.
"I decided it would be fun to have one at home. Trambaro said, "I was happy."
PAUL NELSON, Concordia senior, is building his own home computer
Nelson, an electrical engineering major, said he had been looking at a more elaborate system, but he had the chance to buy the parts cheaply from a friend and decided to assemble his own system.
"I've very close to completion, but I haven't had a lot of time to get into it this semester," Nelson said. "It's basically a hobby."
DONATIONS of computer equipment to universities have increased because of a federal tax incentive law passed in January.
The new law provides an 80 percent deduction of the market value of donated equipment from a computer firm's taxable income, compared to a 60 percent deduction under the previous law.

KU students will pay the athletic department about $180,000 in fees this school year, according to KU athletic department figures.
Jim Lessig, KU athletic director, said yesterday that the fee was needed to fund non-revenue sports at the University of Kansas.
"IF THE TEAM isn't any good, people won't buy tickets, because they don't want to go to a game and become depressed while watching their team get creamed, said John Rawlings, the university sales director at the University of Missouri.
At many colleges, ticket sales and prices determine whether a fee is needed to pay for athletic programs, according to athletic department officials, and those sales are often dependent upon the quality of the team.

Rawlings said Missouri did not use student fees to fund its sports because it depended on football and basketball ticket sales.
"IF A SCHOOL doesn't draw people in, it may have to raise ticket prices or use student fees to pay for athletic programs," he said.

"If your main sports are doing well, you can charge higher ticket prices. If your team is doing poorly, you can draw low-priced tickets and not draw people.

Athletic director says fee vital to finance non-revenue sports
- NO HIDDEN CHARGES
this year will be enough to pay for women's basketball or men's baseball and swimming, according to the 1982-83 athletic department budget.
"IF THE FEE helps pay for non-revenue sports, then more non-revenue sports can be kept going. Some sports are being worn down, and the fee is keeping them going."
"If ticket sales and gifts could produce enough revenue for a high quality athletic program, everyone from the chancellor on down would support eliminating the fee. But that's just not an economic reality." Ambler

The Wyoming tournament will begin Thursday and continue until Saturday, he said. The second tournament will be Sunday and Monday at Greeley, he said.

At Washburn University in Topeka, the administration decided that students should get something more tangible for their student fee.

Freshmen were entered in the tournament because it was one of the first of the year and the experience helped them, Parson said.

SEPARATE teams will compete in a swing tournament this weekend, Parson said. Three teams will be sent to the University of Wyoming in Laramie, and then to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, he said.
"I thought we did really well for the beginning of the year," Davis said, adding that it was the first time he and Marcotte had worked as a team.
The KU debate team took home five trophies, both team and individual honors, from a tournament at the University of Northern Iowa last weekend. The team of Jim Clark, Overland Park freshman, and Cathy Pearson, Leah Summit, Mo., participated first place in the team account, according to Donn Parson, professor of speech and drama and debate team adviser.
DAVIS took seventh place in the tournament as an individual speaker. Pearson took first place in the same category and Clark placed second.
OF THE $6 fee that students pay each semester, the athletic department receives $3.57, said Harold Holden, Washburn business manager.

"I don't think there would be enough income available if we didn't have the fee," Lessig said. "I don't think there would be enough income to fund the whole program if football and basketball games sold out."
There are 28 students on the debate squad, with two members to a team, Parson said.
"At Bowling Green, the fee totally funded the non-revenue sports," he said. "These sports involve a lot of money; it was looked at as an activity fee."

Lessig said KU could not have non-revenue sports if it did not have the fee, and added that he did not think the fee was too high. For instance, he said, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he was athletic director before coming to KU, the fee was $66 a year.
DAVID AMBLER, vice chancellor for student affairs and a member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, said, "We would have nothing but football and basketball if there wasn't support for the fees."

DAVID WELCH, student body vice president, said the athletic department usually talked to Student Senate before increasing student fees for athletics.

"The weather and other factors would come into play if our non-revenue sports were to depend on football and basketball," Lessig said. "The student fee is a set income, but with football and basketball, you are betting on what the attendance will be next year."
