Bikes
"I've got scars all over my body from crashes, but I don't want to make it sound like bicycling's a bloodbath," Heying said. "It's not."
The KU Criterium was sanctioned by the United States Cycling Federation and sponsored by Sunflower Surplus, 804 Massachusetts Boulevard, with the Mount Oread Bicycle Club.
The other seven races of the day were on the same circuit, but shorter.
IN PERHIAPS the most exciting finish of the day, a pack of 12 packlets finished the junior class race with the same winning time, their muscular legs pumping in unison. They crossed the finish line separated by fractions of a mile and the three riders were from the Mount Oread team.
Total prize money awarded in the whole series of bicycle races amounted to $1,200, said Michele Imberson, coordinator of the race. That amount is about the cost of one serious rider's bicycle.
"Very few bike racers make expenses." Imber said.
Bicyclists can win up to $200 a day and still be considered amateur riders because of the heavy expenses of the sport, said Adam Gatewood, winner of the junior class race. They pay their own traveling costs, repair them and buy insurance. Gatewood's bicycle cost $1,200, and he said he could not estimate how much he had spent on repairs and clothes for the sport.
SERIOUS BICYCLISTS buy helmets for protection against the pavement and special shorts and shirts designed to reduce wind resistance and thus increase their speed.
Bicycle racers ride at least 250 miles a week, said Ron Lathrop, Lawrence senior, and really enjoyed the experience.
Gatewood, a high school junior from Topeka,
said he averaged three hours of bicycling each day.
In the winter, he lifts weights and rides a stationary bicycle.
"If you race, that's all you do if you want to be good." Gatewood said with a smile. "I don't want to be good."
Gatewood said he had traveled to more than 10 states in the last four years to compete in races. He wants to be on the Junior World's team next year, he said.
"I don't like traveling," Gatewood said.
"Often I'll race, then driven for eight hours
on a racetrack."
HEYING SAID he enjoyed traveling, because he had made many friends in the MET.
Imber said, "The idea is not to do the best possible time; the idea is to win."
The camaraderie and competitiveness of the sport make it fun despite the cost and time it takes.
“After three years of the same races with the same people every weekend, you get to know everybody as well as if you worked in an office every day together.” Heying said. “We're a team of guys of guey. It is kind of a feeling of ‘us against the world because recycling is such a new sport.’”
IN ADDITION, the thrill of bicycling itself contributes to dedication of riders to the sport.
"It's immensely satisfying," he said. "I'm in good shape. I like to compete against people, but it's just really exciting to go fast on my bike."
The results of the KU Criterium were as follows:
Men's Category 1&2 (45 miles) — 1. Mark Rathz 1:52:3; 2. Paul Biskup 1:52:21; 3. Greg Saunders 1:52:22; Men's Category 3&4 Juniors (22.5 miles) — 1. Adam Gatewood; 2. Nathan Sheafer; 3. Jon Neff, all at the same time of 56:49.

Heat
DAVID CORLISS, Wichita senior and Battenford professor, said he was concerned about the unpredictable weather this time of year. The weather has been getting warmer in the cold if the weather does change," he said.
From page one
Cody Spiller, Kansas City, Kan., junior and Scollars proctor, said, "I think it will get really chilly. It is really unfortunate that it is taking long, but there was no way to avoid the delay."
Beth Shoemaker, Topaka freshman and a resident of Sellars, said, "We'll have to hope that it doesn't get cold."
Edward Hubert, Leavenworth junior and Stephenson proctor, that if the windows and
door were kept shut it would be difficult for the cold air to blow in.
Derrick Reichenker, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore and resident of Stephenon, said, "I suppose I'll just have to put an extra blanket on my bed."
J. J. WILSON, director of housing, said it was possible that steam heat could be run through an older pipe that was buried years ago, but Modigliani said the pressure the old steam pipe could handle the pressure.
Temporary water heaters were installed at the four halls to supply hot water while the steam boilers were used.
These water heaters can possibly supply some heat to the buildings, Modig said. He said that he did not know whether the water heaters had enough capacity but that they possibly could'
be used to fill each hall's heating pipes with hot water.
Most of the 750 feet of steam pipe has been installed, but the connection of pipe to the halls is still not finished. Perkins said. Landscaping some areas and fixing roads and sidewalks that were torn up by construction will be done last, he said.
THE STEAM PIPE connects to a University steam tunnel under the steps on the side of the building.
Perkins said Battenfield could be heated by an auxiliary line connected to the tunnel.
Heat is not turned on at KU residence and scholarship hall until a definite pattern of cold water is poured in.
"Last year for Parents Day it was 97 degrees," he said.

have to wait and see whether Congress preempts us in these areas."
BESIDES RESEARCH and development, Branson said, she plans to concentrate on improving health and retirement benefits for KU and unclassified employees during the next session.
"We have legislators who have large pools of unemployment, so it is tough for them to vote for salary increases. By going at it in a different way, we might have a better chance," she said.

A bill to raise benefits would fare better than bids to push for substantial salary increases in this time of budget restrictions, she said.
Mideast
"THEME ARE TWO outstanding points of immediate disagreement," French Ambassador Paul Mc Henry said as the Italian troops were dismarking. "The Israelis are insisting on maintaining a presence at the airport and wish to have occasional access to all parts of the
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said the Israelis had "to be out of the airport."
"It's that simple," Weinberger said in a television interview in Washington. "As far as a military presence, it should not be at the airport."
U. S. sources said the Israeli reluctance to leave Beirut International Airport meant the 800 Marines to be deployed in the world land and marine force" tomorrow, and "that's not definite."
The French and Italians are to perform peace-keeping duties in the city, while the Americans will occupy the airport, Italian Ambassador Franco Lucalo said.
IN TEL AVIV, the military command said all Israeli forces would be out of West Beirut by Wednesday and the airport will be handed over to the Lebanese army.
Despite the snag in the deployment of the multinational forces, 35 French troops checked an area around the Sabra and Chatila refuge camps on the southern edge of the city for mines.
Saturday, four members of the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization, including two Americans — Air Force Maj. Harley Warren, 34, of Baldese, N.C., and Army Marj. Ralland Carlison, 35, of Derwood, Md. — were killed when their oustain a land mine near East Beirut.
The two other observers were from Ireland and Finland.
THE OBSERVERS were part of a 300-man U.N. outfit that has been in Lebanon and the Golan Heights since 1948. There are now some 50 UNTSO observers in the Beirut area; their number increased from 10 on Sept. 19, after the slaughter of Palestinians at Sabra and Chatil.
The known death toll in the camps by late yesterday was 319 bodies processed and 390 firm reports of missing. The Lebanese civil defense decomposeing bodies were still in the wreckage.
