KU opted to combine the men's and women's programs to meet part of a Title IX provision of Health, Education and Welfare guidelines. The provision says that athletic opportunities for men and women at federally funded institutions must be

The merger will win objective success. Howlett came to KU from Drake University in Grinnell Iowa, where she spent five years as an assistant men's basketball coach. Before the Drake appointment, she taught high school physical education and did volunteer work.
Howlett was selected for the KU position over 27 male candidates.
Howlett said yesterday that she hoped the
merger would be handled equitably and efficiently.
"I if consider that I have a mission here at all," she said, "it is 'my concern for conserving what's good in men's athletics and enjoying anything in the merger process."
"Yet I am totally committed to women's athletics. I'm a strong advocate women's athletics."
Howlett said she hoped there would be no backlash of emotionalism from the merger and decision-makers would approach the move objectively.

Summer brings bicycle thefts
Bicycle thieves have been exceptionally active in Lawrence in the past few weeks, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department said yesterday.
By TONY FITTS
"The police department has noticed a dramatic rise in the theft of bicycles." Mark Brothers, crime prevention officer for the department, said.
Staff Reporter
"The nice weather of spring brings out the bicyclists and the bike thieves."
However, he said, this happens every spring.
easy targets a lot holder to steal. The best way to deter more bike thieves, according to employees at local bike shops, is a steel chain or cable long enough to go through the bicycle frame and both wheels and secured with a good-quality padlock.
"This year," Brothers say, "we're not getting a very high return on stolen bikes. It's just speculation, but there are too many expensive bikes just disappearing in the neighborhood and town. There may be some kind of conduit to a market somewhere outside of town."
BUT THE police have not been able to prove the existence of any organized bike theft, and they need a master to the ordinary cyclist. Bicycle theft is a continuing problem, with more than 90 bicycles reported stolen in five states according to data compiled by the police.
"The best target," he said, "is the bike left unsecured behind a business or outside a grocery store. Somebody will just take it and ride away on it."
Brothers said many of these thefts could have been prevented.
Spending a few dollars can make these
"THE LOCK we sell most is a six-foot cable coil with a Master combination lock." John Clark, an employee of Rick's Bike Shop, 1033 Vermont St., said. "That costs about $8 and will deter the common thief."
Kick Ranney, owner of Mick's Bicycle Shop, 1339 Massachusetts St., would sell the same thing, but he said he had another about the Master combination lock.
"Do you see my bolt cutters over there on the wall?" he asked, pointing to a tool with 18-inch handles and tempered-steel jaws. "Those will go through the hasp on this combination lock just like it was butter."
"BUT THIS Other Master key lock, with a thicker hasp—well, the cutters will go through it, but it will leave a dent in the jaws. It won't stop the guy stealing your bike, but you at least have the satisfaction of knowing you've ruined his bolt cutters."
The guy stealing your bike won't be able to do it quite as easily if you have locked it to something substantial, such as the high pole. Not just anything will do, however.
lift them off the pole and carry them away."

Sometimes they may carry away only a part of the bike.
'ITS IMPORTANT to lock the wheels'
'the steal wheels, and they're pretty expensive.
According to the men at the shops, there are locks, such as a Kryptonite Lock made of one-fourth steel bar stock which cannot be opened. But they have their disadvantages.
"Some locks make the bike almost impossible to steal," Ranney said, "but they also make it almost impossible to ride, because they're so heavy and awk-
Clark said, "There are other locks you can't cut through, but they are real expensive, $20 to $25 or more, and you can't leave the whole bike intact to use them. You have to take the front wheel off and lock it to the rest of the bike. And after you do all that, the lock really isn't big enough to lock the bike to anything."
THE POLICE have their own favorite bicycle locks. A chain with nine-sixteenth-inch-thick links or a half-inch steel cable, combined with a quality padlock with a nine-sixth-inch hasp will protect almost any bike, according to Brothers.
The nine-sixteenth-inch size is just over the maximum size which can be cut with a small bolt cutter. Brothers said, 'and I can't believe the 10-inch around a bolt cutter for nine-sixteenth-inch
stock- it would be almost as big as a bicycle."
The cable recommended by the bike shops was about three-eighths-inch in diameter, significantly lighter than the three-eighth-inch recommended by the police.
Another means of identification, according to Brothers, is to engrave your driver's license number on the frame and both wheels of your bicycle.

"THE BEST place to engrave it," Brothers said, "is on the bottom of the crank housing between the pedals. That's what I would look for any identify numbers."
Even with the best cable and lock, that Gitane may be stolen. Sometimes, according to Brothers, it may just have been ridden across town and abandoned. If that is the case, the police may recover the bike or turn it if they can determine the owner.
"I REALIZE that's pretty big," Brothers said, "but if you want to protect a $200 Gitane or Motobecane, that's what you're going to have to do."
One type of bicycle identification is a city license tag. The police department will register and tag your bicycle for a 25 cent fee.
The city license tag and the driver's license number will at least give police a chance at returning the bike to its owner. Brothers said.

The oldest item on display is a map that shows the boundaries of Kansas extending westward into the Pikes Peak region of Colorado in 1860. Many settlers from Kansas found gold in this new territory, according to Williams.
She said yesterday that settlers moved into Kansas to take advantage of free land after the passage of the Homestead Act of 1862.

Are railroads moved into Kansas in the 1860's, so did more settlers. In 1870, the population of Kansas was 100,000. In 1880, it grew to about 50,000 built in Kansas, the population was 1.5 million.
The railroads played an influential role in luring settlers into Kansas. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad printed a newspaper in German to publicize three million acres of fertile farmland. Farmers would grow their business would grow, Williams said.
The newspaper, printed in Kansas in the 1870's, attracted newly-arrived immigrants from Sweden, Denmark, France and England, as well as Germany.

Storing gasoline in a car or private residence, a practice that may become more common because of the gas shortage, is still not recommended, according to a KU fire prevention official.
Storing gasoline sparks hazards
"We know for a fact that people are now carrying gas around in their car trunks," said Max Thomas, director of the fire department. "We've got the RU Division of Continuing Education.
"A can of gas in your trunk is the same as four ounces of nitroglycerine. The whole car will blow up in a collision," he said this week.
Thomas said there had not yet been an unusual increase in the number of gasoline fires this year, although a recent gasoline fire at 1242 Louisiana St. prompted concern.
Five to 10 gallons of gas were spilled and ignited by the pilot light on a water heater. An additional five to 10 gallons stored in a plastic container was then ignited, said LeRoy Spence, assistant fire chief of the Lawrence Fire Department.
Fire officials warned that if gasoline is stored, it should be kept in special safety cans, which are available at most hardware stores.
