Sportscaster joins 'Late Night' crusade
by a Kansan reporter
Late Night came to KU last night, but this time it was a KU religious adviser playing the comic master of ceremonies and an ABC sportcaster as special guest.
Gary Bender, ABC sportscaster,
was part of Late Night with Campus
Crusade for Christ at the
Gamma Phi Beta sorority house.
The program was David Letterman-style with Matt Jackson, religious adviser for the University of Arizona, acting as David Letterman.
Buckson began the program with a few jokes and a top-10 list of the most funny memoirs. He lived in history, which was in keeping with the theme, Handling Press.
A brief round of "Jeopardy," complete with music was played with three mock contestants. Categories were sports, K-State and
One of the questions Jackson asked was, "What does one do to get a one-armed K-state student out of a tree?"
Mock contestant Myron answered, "What is: Wave at him."
Bender appreciated the humor.
"I love this University, and it's so good to hear those K-State jokes again," he said. "You know, I just was thinking, it's been 20 some years when the Jayhawks went to the Orange Bowl. Can you believe it? I don't think any of you were born when I was the voice of the
Bender said that in those 20 years, he had handled a lot of pressure.
"I work with so many great athletes, it gets to the point where I think. "How do I fit into this?"
Javhawks."
Bender reminisced about a great athlete he talked with in the 1984 championship game between Houston and North Carolina State.
The athlete was 7-foot Akeem Olajuwon, then a basketball player for the University of Houston.
Bender said that he asked Olajuwon whether there was any sport he was not good at.
Olajuwon said he could not swim.
Bender said, "Really? I can't swim either."
Bender said he had to learn to become flexible since he became a sportscaster, especially on the air.
"Yeah, but I can wade out a lot further than you can."
He said that when he was wearing his headphones, the director, producer, and associate producer all talked to him at the same time.
Olajuwon grinned and said,
"Next time you see me on camera and I've got that far-off look, it's because I have three people talking to me at once." Bender said. "I always look like I have gas pains."
Bender said he attended last night's program because his son, Trey, goes to school at KU and Bender also was in town for McDonald's All-American Basketball Game in Kansas City, Mo.
Regents meet to consider tuition increases
by Candy Niemann
Kansan staff writer
Board of Regents members and officials from the seven Regents schools met at the University of Florida to prepare for today's Regents meeting.
The Regents had a luncheon at the Adams Alumni Center, toured the camps, met with KU governance and learned about the home of Chancellor Gene A. Budiar
During today's meeting at 9 a.m. in the Kansas Union, the Regents will discuss a proposal by the Regents
Committee on Tuition and Fees to raise in-state fees 6 percent and out-ofstate fees 10 percent for the Fall 1990 and Spring 1991 school year.
Tuition increases of 5 percent for undergraduate residents, 12 percent for undergraduate non-residents, 9 percent for graduate students and 13 percent for graduate non-residents approved for Fall 1989 and Spring 1990.
I understand that Kansas needs to raise tuition rates to the meet the levels of the other schools, but I'm concerned over the rate at which they

"But education is like most other things in that if you want something,
you must pay for it. If the classes are good, you have a better faculty, then at some point you have to pay. You can't have it both ways."
are being raised," said Brooke Menees, former student body president, during a Regents meeting with KI1 governance leaders.
The Regents committee also has requested that a $15 application fee be charged for all undergraduate applicants for admission starting in
Fall 1990.
"It would defer some people from applying, but the people it would defer are the ones who are not serious about KU anyway but just apply because it is free," Lindvall said.
Bruce Lindvall, KU's director of admissions, said he thought the fee was minimal.
KU has requested a $1.50 increase in the student health fee and a new $9 fee to becharged to students for use of recreational services.
AIDS scope broad physician counsels
By Jennifer Corse Kansan staff writer
The biggest mistake health-care professionals made when AIDS became known was to define certain high-risk groups, a physician specializing in AIDS treatment said last night.
by Jennifer Corser
Wade said many people committed suicide or entered into deep depression after learning that they tested positive for the virus. Suicide occur-
"We really missed the boat early on in the health-care profession by defining groups," said Bill Wade, the physician.
Wade spoke on "Living with AIDS" to about 20 people in the Jayhawk Room at the Kansas Union. The Department of Health and Lesbian Services in Dayton and Lesbian Services in
He said counseling was an important step for a person to take when deciding to get tested for the virus.
Wade showed slides during his speech explaining the structure of the HIV virus, the process of blood transfusion, and the patients are available to AIDS patients.
"good or bad news, if you're not ready for it, it can be very traumatic." he said.
A person does not become infected by the HIV virus from being a member of a certain group, such as homosexuals or intravenous drug users, but by participating in high-risk behavior, Wade said.
Aaron Andes, Lees Summit, Mo., senior, said he was glade WadMe mentioned the importance of counseling AIDS patients and that he did not support the use of home-testing kits, which are used without counseling.
However, he said, if these people had been educated, they would have known that they could live many years being asymptomatic or being healthy under treatment. Eighty-eight percent of those infected survive their first full-blown episode of sickness.
Wade is a co-founder of the AIDS Care Team at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka and the Kansas AIDS Network.
"I tell people two things: You can spend your life living with it, or you can die with it." Wade said.
"He's the one who's supposed to know how to make it better," Simon said.
Andes also said he liked Wade's positive tone in the speech, which stressed that there was a way to live and stay healthy with AIDS.
Steven Simon, Augusta junior, said he was surprised that Wade said he understood why some patients killed themselves and would consider suicide himself if he had AIDS and the disease worsened. He said he would feel uncomfortable about consulting him as a doctor.

In 6 days, legislators must finish business

Ellsworth Hall celebrated 25 years at KU yesterday with a banquet and a guest speaker who honored Fred B. Ellsworth.
Legislators will travel to Topeka today to begin the final six days of the 1989 legislative session.
Topeka hasn't been completely quiet during the 11-day break. Staff members spent their time working to revise measures and to create compromises on several bills including the comprehensive highway program and overcrowding at state prisons.
by Michele Logan
The bill has been closely related to the highway program and could cause a snag in the highway confer-
ments at KU and talk about the hall's history.
Emily Taylor, former dean of women, spoke about Fellsworth, who was her friend when they worked together at the Kansas University Endowment Association and KU Alumni Association.
Skinner said that the sales tax bill was introduced by the Legislature on behalf of Economic Lifelines, a lobbying group concerned with Kansas economic development. The bill would increase the sales tax to $3.45 per unit. Revenue would be appropriated for education and highway projects.
Ellsworth's residents celebrate hall's silver anniversary
Mary Jane McCool, banquet coordinator and St. Louis sophomore, said the Eellsworth Hall Executive Board members decided to celebrate the event because they wanted to recognize Ellsworth's past achieve-
raylor began her speech with a short biographical background on Ellsworth.
Ellsworth entered KU in 1916 and was graduated in 1922 with a bachelor of arts degree in journalism.
"I was called on the phone and asked if I believed in free speech," Taylor said. "I said, 'Yes' and the young lady said, 'Well that's good."
because we want you to make one. ' "
"We basically have to just put the finishing touches on the remaining bills," Skinner said.
Twenty-six bills remain in conference committees, compared to 47 last year at this time. Skinner said. The smaller number indicated that the Legislature had made significant progress before the break, he said.

Despite these bills, Skinner said that the Legislature was in better shape this year than in past years as the se-con wound down.
ence committee.
Dillon opposed any increase in sales tax or fuel taxes for highways. He also questioned why the House had not settled the Economic Lifelines bill before going into conference committee on highways.
"We really have only three or four big issues, but there will be plenty of debate on them." Skinner said.
In 1925, Ellsworth became executive secretary of the Alumni Association, where he was involved in charge of alumni reunions and editing and publishing
Taylor said that on the day Ellsworth awarded his retirement at a Board of Regents meeting. Channelworl W. Clarke Weir. March 10, 2013. The 10-story residence hall under construction would be named after Ellsworth.
Ellsworth Hall was opened in fall 1963 at a cost of $2.35 million. It housed 60 men.
One of the things Taylor remem
bered most about Ellsworth was that he liked to tell humorous stories about himself.
She said one of her favorite stories about Ellsworth was when he bought a racehorse that wasn't very good at racing. Ellsworth was at the track one day talking to the horse before a race and fed the horse a sugar cube.
An official that had been standing nearby approached Ellsworth and asked him what he thought he was
oung. Ellsworth told that he had given his horse a sugar cube for energy. The official was skeptical so Ellsworth ate one of the sugar cubes himself to prove that they were harmless. But the official still disbelieved him, so Ellsworth offered his last cube to the official, who ate it. Then Ellsworth told his jockey to hold back in the race until the end, and if anything passed him, it would be either himself or the official.
