Athletic hosting group to go coed
The Sunflower girls will wither away this summer and a new bunch of KU students, male and female, will be selected next fall to attend.
The Sunflower girls have helped the department in recruiting, but Bruce Mays, assistant men's athletic director, said yesterday that they are planning to open a club.
"We need a variety of students to show our prospective athletes around campus," Mays said. "There are some places girls can't take guys, like into the locker room after a game or to a fraternity."
In 1977, the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation was required to change an advertisement requesting applications for the Sunflower hostesses because it was in violation of Title IX, that campus organizations may not discriminate on the basis of sex.
KUAC revised the ad to read "hosts and hostesses," but no men applied.
Mays said the group probably would comprise from 24 to 30 students, half of them men and half of them women.
“in recruiting, it’s important to know our prospect,” he said. “There are some things he might say to another student but not to a
Mays also said it was important to be honest with the athletes while recruiting.

"Sometimes recruiting gets to be too superficial because you're trying to influence the athlete," he said. "We want the students to be honest with them and tell them about our problems. But they can sell the campus and academics, which are probably more important anyway because athletics are only a small part of college life."
Mays said that the guidelines for the group had not been completed, but that students would be required to be available during classes. She added that the guidelines were being revised.
After a merger of the men's and women's athletic departments, the group, which has not yet been named, could help in recruiting new players.
