Athletes react to merger proposal
By BARBARA JENSEN
Staff Reporter
Reactions to a possible merger between the men's and women's athletic departments at the University of Kansas were mixed yesterday among student athletes.
Plans for the merger were announced Tuesday at a University of Kansas Athletic Conference meeting.
"You're merging two very successful programs," Chet Collier, a member of the men's tennis team, said. "The women's teams competed with very little scholarship money this year and did a tremendous job. It will be good for them to get more money."
"I think it's important, though, to keep the football and basketball teams in a category as bringing in revenue. If you have a healthy team, you need an team, there is plenty of money to go around."
"BUT IF YOU gave the women's teams money that football needed, I think you would hurt the overall program because you'll end up bringing in less revenue."
"I'm really skeptical that it will improve the women's programs." Levinson said. "The merger isn't going to change any attitudes, and that's one of the big problems."
但 Anne Levinson, a member of the field
hockey team, said she would be disap-
pose if she could not play.
"You can't grow without moral support. Look how many faculty members go to the men's games but have never gone to a women's game."

Levinson said she also was skeptical about the merger because the two departed in 2015.
"It's always been the philosophy of the women's program that academics come first, then enjoyment and competition in athletics are just a part of our education."
"BUT FOR THE men, sports are often a steppingstone to the professional leagues. They're interested in profit. So does that team? If they win, the most revenue gets the best treatment?"
"I think it could help bring the programs into balance," she said. "It could give us more exposure, more money and better results as long as we don't get overshadowed."
Kelly Phipps, a member of the softball team, said she thought the merger could be successful.
He said he thought a merger would eliminate a lot of paper work, but that it was important to remember that football and basketball were the biggest revenue-producers.
Dave Fletche, a football player, said the only problem he saw was of one financing.
Fletcher said he thought most of the football team was interested in other sports.
"BUT IF THERE are conflicts, such as scheduling the use of Allen Field House, I think the football and basketball teams have a priority because they bring in the money."
John Lyons, a member of the golf team,
said he thought the merger could help the
team.
"I don't see anything wrong with themer," he said. "In fact, if the golf teams were under one person, it could help in scheduling and traveling."
Under the proposed merger, Bob Mar-
cum, men's athletic director, would be
charged with a $70 million fine.

It wasn't long into college that I rewasen it was still driving. Also realized where this ride was going and that I didn't want to go along. So I went home early the next day, regularly attending church, it was natural for me to start thinking about Jesus Christ. Yet my understanding of this Person was at best confused.
My pre-college lessons were basically happy. If I thought about it, though, there seemed to be little substance to my life. It was so easy to drift from day to day to carry by whatever the world offered. I guess I thought college would somehow provide me with my purpose.
Another Life changed by Jesus Christ
Then a couple of my high school friends left me some literature detailing what the Bible had to say about Jesus. In reading that material, I began to understand who Jesus was and why He mattered to me. I saw God, as an omniscient Judge, but, also but as a Person who loved me in a way I could not hope to eruak. I realized there existed, between God and me, a real moral gain, one that had no hope of crossing on my feet, but I had laid separated from Him by my sin. That was why Jesus came. He came to be the bridge for me. He died and paid the penalty for the sins which separated me from God.
Search Ended
Many things remained unclear at the time, but my heart told me to accept, so I moved Jesus to his payment and Lord. It
wasn't a particularly emotion packed or moving experience, but my spirit sighed with the relief of a load removed.
My life since has not been one of flying around in octaves, but one of moving steadily for ward in peace and confidence. Yes, I continue to have problems, and even to sit, everyday, but I am no longer bound by their penalty and guilt. There is no way to describe the utter utterness of the pain. I'm now a victim of an inmate convinced it is this life which I was always searching for. Now I have found it and have felt a sense of
