Team, coaches ask sportsmanship
By JOAN McCABE UDK Managing Editor
KU has always had a reputation for outstanding basketball players and good sportsmanship. Both the basketball players and the coaches wish to continue this tradition.
Center Vernon Vanoy, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said Monday's crowd behavior at the Colorado game is somewhat expected by the opposition. He believes it scares them just a little. Vanoy said enthusiasm from the KU student body was encouraging to the team.
"SOMETIMES BOOING makes you a little bit more ready to play," said guard Pat Davis, Topeka senior.
"I'm all for the crowd being just as enthusiastic as they want to be," he said. "Booing is not the most sportsmanlike conduct there is, but I would hate to see less enthusiasm."
Davis said the visiting team had the right to expect a "few things."
"I would definitely condemn booing of the starting line-up. Throwing things on the court endangers the players. It's a great honor to be playing in the NCAA regionals here and it would be a shame if because we couldn't control the crowd, we lost our chance to sponsor the conference games," Davis said.
GUARD BRUCE SLOAN, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, cautioned the student body to remember that
next year we will have to go out there and play. "It inspires me more to hear the crowd cheer loud for us rather than boo the opponents. It does more for our morale," he said.
"We receive booing when we are introduced sometimes away from home but since we are chamions, our crowd should act like champions," said Ron Franz, Kansas City senior forward.
Coach Ted Owens said, "We want you to continue to be enthusiastic. Our players appreciate the splendid support you have given them. We want this support to continue in the K-State game and in the regionals next week. But we sincerely hope your support will be in the form of good sportsmanship."

Fasters seek spiritual rebirth
By CHARLA JENKINS
A fast for the re-birth of compassion will begin Wednesday at 5 p.m. The fast, sponsored by a group of KU students, is not a protest, but an experimental form of devotion.
A committee, headed by John Simmons, a United Campus Christian Fellowship minister, is organizing the fast. They are stressing the fact that the fast is a personal experience designed to help the faster gain a new insight into compassion.
The call to fast, prepared by a national committee, reads in part, "In this century of global conflict, we are losing our sensitivity to human misery. We confess our need for a re-birth of compassion."
FASTING WILL BEGIN Wednesday with a non-meal in the Cottonwood Room of the Kansas Union. The group will meet both Thursday and Friday noon for 20-minute periods. Saturday evening, the fast will be broken during a meeting and devotional service. A light meal will be served, probably soup.
— Sarah Paretsky, Eudora senior and chairman of the fast committee, will be interviewed at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on KUOK. The live broadcast will be held in Gertrude Pearson Hall. Interested persons are invited to sit in the audience and ask questions.
Persons who are physically unable to fast are not expected to participate. They can take part in the community experience, though.
