Track Squad Issues Statement Backing Easton
The University of Kansas track team issued a statement supporting their coach in the battle raging over Bill Easton's dismissal by Wade Stinson, Athletic Director.
The statement was read at a press conference at 4:30 Thursday afternoon at the south end of Memorial Stadium.
"He was simply striving to obtain a reasonable budget with which to buy our equipment, to pay our scholarships, and to enable us to represent our university with pride," the statement noted. "Certainly his fight was anything but a selfish one."
In the statement, the members of the track team said they felt that Easton had lost his position as head coach because of the way he was trying to stand up for the members of the track team.
The members of the squad, through their statement, admitted that Easton was guilty of going beyond an established budget. However, they maintained that the "fiscal irresponsibility" referred to in Stinson's statement of dismissal was "needless and wasteful spending"; and that
Easton definitely was not guilty of this.
The statement goes on to quote several examples of situations where the track team has actually suffered because of financing strain.
The team said, "... If coach Easton goes, so also will go the tradition of excellence he has built up. What coach of any quality would desire to accept the job, knowing

that he must work within an en- wishes of the athletic department, tirely inadequate budget, and that he regardless of his own personal stan- furthermore cater to the dards and goals?"
With two fresh victories notched in their rackets, the KU tennis team turned toward two dual meets with Wichita State at Wichita this weekend.
KU's Jim Burns, defending Big Eight champion, led the way as he scored 7-5, 6-3, 6-2, and 6-2 victories over Wisconsin's ace netter, Tom Oberlin. Other Javhawkers scoring victories both days were John Grantham, Lance Burr, Barry McGrath, and Bill Terry.
Wisconsin's Wulf Schwerdtfeger salvaged his team's only victory by downing KU's John Guyot 6-3 and 6-2 Wednesday. Guyot had beaten Schwerdtfeger Tuesday 4-6, 6-1, and 6-3.
The victories came at the hands of Wisconsin University. The Jayhawks won the first match Tuesday, 9-0, and the second, 8-1, Wednesday.
Burns and Burr teamed to down Wisconsin's Oberlin and Gary Kirk in doubles competition both days. The Grantham-McGrath and Guyot-Terry combinations also notched double victories.

*This category includes current seniors who plan to continue at KU as graduate students and students who are in graduate school now and will return to KU in the fall of 1965 to continue their graduate work. It does not include students who will enter the Medical School in the fall of 1965 as their tickets will be applied for at the Medical Center in Kansas City.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Orders may be placed according to the above schedule and information for picking up your tickets next fall will be distributed to you during the 1965 Fall enrollment period. Students who fail to apply during their assigned day will not be given priority with their class section. Students who fail to make application this spring will have the same priority as "New Students" in the fall. It is to your advantage to make application for your 1965 student football season ticket this spring.
Tickets will be applied for at Allen Field House-8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. daily. Enter north doors of the Field House and go down the east corridor; ID CARDS MUST BE PRESENTED AND EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY A FEE OF $1.50 PER SEASON TICKET AT THIS TIME TO COVER THE COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION. (Any applications for refunds of the $1.50 fee must be made in writing to the Athletic Seating Committee of the All Student Council prior to Sept. I, 1965).
Group applications, within a priority classification will be limited to not more than twenty-five (25). (Exceptions will be considered in the case of exceptionally large pledge classes or classes within men's or women's residence halls.) It should be noted that independent groups can apply in groups if they so desire. All block applications will be given priority according to the student of lowest classification. The person(s) applying for a group must present ID cards for all members of the group.
After all applications are completed this Spring, a drawing will be held within each priority group to determine seat location. In this way an equal opportunity will be afforded to each student so long as you have made application on your assigned priority date. Individual orders and group orders will each be numbered and carry the same weight in the drawing of lots. The Athletic Seating Committee of the ASC will supervise the drawing of lots soon after the end of the ticket application period.
Season tickets for student spouses who are themselves students may be ordered at the earlier priority of either spouse. Season tickets for student spouses who are not themselves students may be ordered at the time their student spouse orders his or her ticket. The price for all student spouse tickets is $7.50. A price of $6.50 applies to housemothers, whose orders may be placed during any priority period.
New 1965 medical students will apply at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City next fall for their season tickets.
Pep Club members must present evidence of membership to be assigned seats in pep club sections. Members of the University Marching Band will have seats reserved automatically and need not order tickets.
To speed up group applications, arrange ID cards according to the following: A-F, G-L, M-R, S-Z, and present these grouped ID's to the proper tables set up in the East Lobby of Allen Field House.
NOTE: ID Cards Alone Will NOT Admit Students to Football Games Next Fall.
A Reserved Seat Season Ticket Will Be Necessary
