Sports for disabled here
Physically handicapped people in Lawrence leave school to recreation and create a reality.
A wheelchair basketball clinic was conducted at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., by the Topea Chairmen and Chaiettes basketball teams, sponsored by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department.
John Ross, superintendent of Parks and Recreation, said this was the first time wheelchair basketball had been introduced to Lawrence. If enough interest is shown, a team will be formed to join the seven-team travel league, consisting of teams from Topeka, Emporia, Wichita, Kansas City, Tulsa, Ormaha, and Lincoln.
THE CHARMEN team was formed in 1970 and is one of the top 10 of 140 teams in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association.
"Players may have any physical disability that keeps them from participating in able-bodied athletics effectively." Ross said.
Ross said that some players could walk, perhaps with crutches, but leg or foot disabilities prevented them from playing in regular sports.
KU band forms honorary groups
Chapters of an honorary fraternity and a sorority for band members, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, recently were formed at the University of Kansas.
Tom Stidham, assistant director of bands, said yesterday the KU chapters were formed by members who had transferred here from other universities.
Stidham was a faculty consonant of Kappa and Bayler University in New York before he went to Harvard.
THE PRIMARY function of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, he said, is to advance the growth and development of the athlete by providing activities done in cooperation with the band.
Two persons who helped bring the

"I wasn't sure how it was going to go over," Costley said. "We presented the idea to the band and got quite a few interested people to respond."

Several projects are being planned, McCurdy said, such as building new cabinets in the bedroom for the percussion section, providing beverages for the band during rehearsals and setting up an honors recital for fraternity members. ...
Court interns aid countv
The Juvenile Problems Clinic, an internship program sponsored by the School of Law, assists the juvenile court as it provides a training field for law students.
Assisting Douglas County Juvenile Court officials is part of the job of 15 University of Kansas students who are interning in the juvenile court.
Second- and third-year law students who enroll in the clinic are designated deputy probation officers of the Juvenile Court of Atlanta, where a detective in investigative and probation services.
The two-hour credit course requires its interns to spend a certain number of hours each week at the clinic and attend a course on juvenile law.
Jean Shephard, student director of the program and third-year law student, said last week that the clinic helped the law firm become familiar with pretral preparation.
Shepherd said the interns this semester had been unusually busy. Since the latter part of August the interns had already handled 42 cases for the county.
The intern handle a wide variety of cases
that require attention to wayward and
delicate damage.
Shepherd said that as probation officers for the county, the interns represented the prosecution and had limited contact with juveniles.
MIKE ELWELL, juvenile probate judge,
said the clinic benefitted both the county
and the law school.

Although most of the interns agree that the experience in the clinic hasn't persuaded them to enter juvenile counseling as a profession, most said that they found the experience challenging. They went on to brief proceedings and to become accustomed to pretrail investigations.

*layers demonstrated amazing dexterity with their chairs, some spinning on their back wheels to move quickly to a ladder or chair, and most rely solos on their arms for mobility.
"This is not an easy-nice game," Royce Miller, team coach, images of players wheeling slowly and gingerly down the court are misconceived.
JOE GREVE, team representative, said that one out of every 12 Americans had some type of physical disability and couldn't compete in regular athletics. Community teams for track and field, swimming, bowling and baseball have all given opportunities to handcapped people not available through public schools.
"Now disabled kids no longer have to write scores out of their minds." Greve said.
the sports out of their minds," Greve said. Miller said the rules of wheelchair and conventional basketball were basically the same.
Instead of continually dribbling the ball, players push their chairs twice while holding the ball between their knees, and bounding the ball once before pushing the other grain.
THE SAME FOUL rules apply to both kinds of basketball.
Miller said that some players learned illegal tricks, such as holding their opponents' chairs and preventing them from moving. The referee might not see the offender's hand hidden behind the immobilized opponent's body.
Greve explained that each wheelchair player was classified according to his disabilities. Greve, a paraplegic, can't move his legs and is a class one player. Miller has no knee caps, but can stand and move his legs, and is a class three player.
To avoid unfair advantages during play, Greve said that each team of five players could have no more than 12 points, compared with the classification numbers of each player.
Two more wheelchair basketball clinics will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 20 and 27 at the Community Building. Anyone interested in watching or in forming a team is invited.
