Women's athletics program adds position of information director
By COURTNEY THOMPSON
Staff Writer
The women's athletics department at the university is expected to include a sports information center.
Only a few people, however, student athletes in particular, have been informed of the study.
Tamara Flarup, 23, began work last week in the new position, which finally became feasible this year. Marian Washington, in Florida, and intercollegiate athletics, said yesterday.
Washington said the women's athletics department hadn't been able to have an information director before because other expenditures took priority.
"THIS YEAR I determined that the creation of a sports information director would take first priority when we allocated our initial funds," she said, "and as such, the position is funded entirely through the women's athletics budget."
A former college athlete and sports journalist, Flarpup holds degrees in physical education and journalism and has completed graduate work in communications. She was a communications coordinator for the New Jersey secondary school system.
"I wanted to become involved in the promotion of women's athletics and to work with a growing, progressive program — I think we should have all three, also basically a Midwester at heart."
FLARUP SAID her primary function was to coordinate information on women's athletics and to apply that information to gain public exposure.
She said that although much of the information from the department would be received, it would not be used.
wanted to communicate openly with those seeking information from Washington.
Flarup said that a person who wanted a direct response from Washington could call or come by her office; Washington then would return the call. This method will send Washington to collect her thought and to tell the person a better response, Flarup said.
"THE PRESSURES on Marian keep mounting—the's got to deal with the increased budget, problems involved in administration of the program and her dules as a coach," Flarup said. "We're trying to allow her time to think and to react to questions asked. Oftentimes off-the-fuck comment isn't the best way to handle a
Flarup said she intended to coordinate information on all 10 sports within the women's department and to funnel that information to Washington. Washington
"When you're in charge of a department with 10 or more sports, it's hard to keep track of everything that's on you." Flarup said. "I'm here to gather this information for her so she won't have to know everything at once."
WASHINGTON SAID Flarup's appointment wasn't an attempt to shield herself from people wanting to question her or the women's athletic department.
"My office has always been open, and I've tried to cooperate with the media," Washington said. "I am concerned, though, that the accuracy of information received about our program be certain. I'm glad we could identify a specific person to do this."
Farup said the assumption that a sports information director was equivalent to a basketball coach is incorrect.
"I want to act as a sieve, not as a brick wall," she said, "because I can appreciate that information about a particular department within any university can't always be positive. I'll try to give you access to accurate information."
"WE DO INTEND to rely heavily on statements because Marian did get burned this summer and is skeptical of the media now."
The firing in June of head softball coach Sharon Drydale, professor of health, taught that Drissale had dissatisfied some student athletes. Drydale's termination was the subject of several Kanan stories that questioned this coaching's several others by Washington last semester.
LAURA FROST, Shawnee Mission senior and member of the volleyball and softball teams, said she had no idea what the information director's position involved.
A general lack of information among KU women athletes about the sports in- and out-of-sports areas.
"Today at practice the coach asked us to submit two names of students to be representatives to the sports information team and said, "but none of us knew what it was."
Donna Sullivan, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said she had heard some talk at field hoye practice about the formation of a student committee to air "all our grips," but she said she knew nothing of Flarup's appointment.
Kelly Phipps, Wichita sophomore on the basketball and softball teams, said that she had met Flarup informally, but added that "People who don't come into the women's athletics office very often probably haven't heard a thing about her."

"That's because parents aren't so ready to switch them anymore because there's been lots of evidence that says such a move is more technological effect upon a child," she said.
SPECIALITY SHOPS WITH names like "The Sinister Shop" and "The Left-Handed Complement," dealing solely in left-handed wares, are cashing in.
Everything from kitchen utensils to playing cards and wristwatches to coffee cups are now manufactured for the left. Cameras, guitars, power tools and pencils,

was disconnected, perhaps by a knowledgeable burglar. he said.
A central monitoring service could be the most effective method of answering burglary and fire alarms, Stephens said, because a professional service could monitor business alarms that the LPD now can't handle.
The LPD then would monitor only government buildings and finance buildings that are federally insured, such as banks. Additional buildings non monitored include commercial businesses that must have such alarm systems for insurance purposes, Stephens said.
JON PERRY, a representative for the American District Telegraph Co., a Kansas City, Mo., firm that monitors alarm systems for the Overland Park Police Department, said his company wouldn't hire Lawrence for less than $100,000 a year.
Perry said that his company could install a central monitoring system in the police department that would give a readout of the type of business and type of alarm set of it.
Stephens said that the ordinance, if passed, wouldn't take effect for almost two months after the police move into their new station.
with lettering a southpaw can read while writing, also are available.
In addition, there are books on knitting, needlepointing and crocheting from the left.
LHT's growth indicates that a need, desire and demand for such merchandise exists and that lefties do indeed feel a camaraderie.
"At last count we had more than 2,100 members in 38 states and four foreign countries," Jancy said. "And the amount of work involved in correspondence has become such a lot that five part-time helpers will be hired soon."
After paying the $12 yearly fee, a member receives a membership card, a plaque, some decals and a subscription to Lefty magazine, LHI's official publication.
Lelya comes out four times a year and contains articles, information and letters on women's health.
THE LIST OF famous left-henders is of special interest. In every field of endeavor, particularly sports, a number of lefties have succeeded.
Famous Leffits include Sandy Koufa, Fred Lym, Babe Ruth, Jimmy Connors, Rod Lager and Earl Antheon from sports; Charlie Chaplin, Jug Landgarner, Marilyn Monroe, Ringo Starr, Robert Reedford, Danny McCarthy, Jack the Ripper from other occupations.
A new area of interest for LHF is to help people who are letters not by choice, that is, those who are forced as a result of harms or accidents to switch from right to left.
ONE SUCH PERSON is Sen. Bob Dole,
R-Kan, who recently named the vice presidential candidate by President Gerald Ford, another southwash.
Dole, whose right hand was injured during World War II, is on the LIH Board of Trustees, as is Gale Sayers, former KU football star.
Some of LHI's future projects include lobbying for an international left-henders day, a left-henders Hall of Fame, and medical, technical and educational research on characteristics, habits and requirements of left-henders.
LHI also is working on a Bill of Lefts, which would, among other things, emphasize the use of "correct" instead of "right" to mean the affirmative.
ONE OF THE mysteries surrounding lefthandedness is its cause. Some research favors heredity, and some favor environmental reasons.
"I think the most sensible is that of heredity." Campbell said.
Whatever the reason, Campbell's efforts, along with those of LHI, are making life for lefties just a little bit easier in this right-handed world.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Requests for information about the writer have been received a number of times. A recent letter says "Won't you please tell me who you are that writes the column 'Why do the Heathen Rage?' in Atlanta's Saturday papers? I have been reading this column for quite some time and look forward to each Saturday and read the message to our nation, and to each individual as well. So applicable to, and needed by our nation today. Daily i like friends, neighbors and family to this country." In the rough, but to be seized with gratitude as someone live by.

Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
The writer is a layman. Raised in a Christian home strict about "Singing the Song of Moses the Servant of The Lord," and "The Song of the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." The burden of Moses Song is the Moral Law of God, the Ten Commandments that reveal the character of The Almighty. The message of The Lamb of God is deliverance from the wrath of God to "WHOSEVER WILL!"
The writer joined the Church when about twelve years of age. Though greatly blessed with his raising and environment, yet when he left school he faced the fact he was "out of gear" with real Christianity and the vows made on joining the Church. He did not want to nor did he intend to spend his life striving to fulfill them. "THEM GET OUT!" he said to himself. Resign your Church membership, and do not deliberately live the life of a hypocrite Considering what a serious step he has taken in his life he is a truly priestlyly he purposed before resigning to search The Scriptures himself — most he knew came secondhand. Since that time, many years ago, he now has read The Bible from cover to cover several times each year. Mostly it has been consecutive reading, not stopping unless attention especially arrested. For quite a time his aim was to read 30
Not long after beginning this exercise in Searching The Scriptures he became definitely aware of the "personality of The Devil and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places." And that these fearful enemies questioned, doubted, unbelief, and even a rebellious and rebellious spirit against The Almighty Through the mercy of God during this fearful period he never said The Bible aside but kept reading it, and kept on continually performing his worship by Church attendance and teaching. His reputation for integrity required this until he resigned and got out of The Church.
The Scriptures say: "IN DUE SEASON YOU WILL REAP, IF YOU FAINT NOT IN WELL DOING." And he found it to be true, and in due time God's Word became 'QUICK AND POWERFUL' in his own life, and made of him whose greatest desire and ambition was to Gods Word.

of the food.
For about twelve years after, leaving school the writer was employed as a collar officer. After a year the ball-will stuart and changed things he thought would be useful to his experience in Searching The Scriptures his main interest has been in "SOWING THE SEED OF THE WORD OF GOD" in his own heart and mind.
Some years ago God opened up the way to begin some advertising of The Word of God. Thank God for all those who have written or spoken by word and said that the ads have been a blessing in their Christian experience. Brettron: Pray for me, and pray that "THE WORD OF GOD will HAVE FREE COURSE AND BE GLORIFIED!" I will write it with ETERNITY, as individuals, as a nation, and the whole world.
