Iowa State. But another former Cyclone now playing in the National Football League said the NCA investigation into 33 alleged infractions at the Big Eight school may be the result of tape on the part of disgruntled players. And an attorney conducting an in-house investigation at Iowa State has his probe will remain top secret because innocent parties are Jerry Quick, a former Cyclone who transferred to Wichita State in 1984 and now is trying out with the Pittsburgh Steelers, told Ullman Press International that University officials had appointed assumed loans, but athletic boots did. He said the loans were made available especially for junior college players who later transferred to "They were pre-set up for you. They didn't give you any specifics (before transferring to ISU). They just said that things would be taken care of." Quick said in a telephone interview. "I was training its training camp in Latrobe, Pa." Quick said he was contacted by an NCAA investigator about 18 months ago. "They just asked me how I afforded to go to junior college and things like that. They also asked what kind of degree they obtained with the athletic department," he said. Reid Crawford, an assistant to ISU President Gordon Eaton, said he had heard nothing of Quick's allegations. He refused further comment. He said following the initial interview he gave a sworn statement to an investigator in the presence of an attorney from Wichita State University. He said the attorney advised him not to discuss any further details. 'Nuck, who played football at Butler University College, said he does not believe the booster loans are in practice on major college campuses. "I've been to a few schools. I know it was going on up there (at ISU), but as far as saying it is going on everywhere, I don't know. I've been to a couple of other schools and it wasn't going on there," he said. Quick. a 6-foot-6, 290 pound, offensive guard, declined to say whether Cyclone booster helped his way into the water or how much money was involved He said he decided to leave Iowa State at the end of the 1944 season when Crimer threatened him. "He told me if I didn't play there, he would make sure I didn't play any place else. He said that the only school I would get a chance to play in the pro with was Iowa State. That was either his way or none at all." Quick said. Kevin Williams, a former Iowa State defense back in his second year with the Washington Redskins, is an investigator contacted him two months ago. He said he told the investigator he had not witnessed any wrongdoing at the clinic. He said it was a good chance the probe was prompted by reports from disgruntled players. "If somebody is looking to find dirt, they are going to find it no matter what. You will find it on any campus in America. It is happening now," he said. "If you pros, I would run into buddies who say what's going on," he said. "It's no big secret. Some schools pay players all the time. I'm not saying that is going at Iowa State, but at big schools it's going to continue to happen. A lot of players can't afford to make it on a just scholarship." Williams said. Iowa State President Gordon Eaton announced Monday the NCAA is investigating the Big Eight school on 33 allegations of violations. He said he considered the infractions to be minor incidents, such as free meals and car rides. But another unnamed former ISU official said the probe may involve cheap housing, special loans and cash payments. Group promoting 'Hawk football tickets The source said he was asked questions by an NCAA official concerning the recruitment of junior college football players, including Quick, Mitchens, Derek Spering, and Maxa Maze Jackson and Jeff Braswell. Sports writer By Kristi Schroeder applications." Over the past several seasons, ticket sales for Kansas football games have been down. But several teams have made a strong this trend during the 1966 season. Kent Weiser, director of marketing for the athletic department, calls himself the scorekeeper for the Hawks Club, an organization designating him as the coach. The group had its kickoff celebration July 4th. So far things look good. The club will have its first scoring meeting, Friday morning. At that time initial results will be in for the first week of sales, Weiser said. "Sales are going not too bad," Weiser said. "Twenty-five (season ticket applications) have been turned in and I've had severe calls for more The club has about 120 volunteers. The club is divided into teams by vocation, such as government, retailers, car dealers and so on. This helps the club to cover all types of people. The volunteers have been busy trying to contact anyone and everyone who may be interested in buying tickets. "People are pretty serious about helping with sales," Weiser said. Diana Wehmeyer, ticket manager, said 12,000 public season tickets and 4,500 all-sport tickets had been sold as of yesterday. Only 2,500 more all- sport tickets are available. The all- sport tickets are for students. The sales are geared toward anyone who has an interest in football or the community. Weiser said. The club tries to get the word to people that football games are good for the community. Dolph Simons, Jr. is the chairman for the local group working on ticket sales. He said his group is working on some people about tickets in than the past The club is approaching the sales in a new manner, especially working with local businessmen, Simons said. The group is trying to rally business support of the team which will in turn help create an economic gain of the community. "If you're going to be in business, you have to support the University," Simons said. The more people who come to the games, the more money the community has to gain, Weiser said. "We can do two things at once," Weiser said. "The businesses can help the team and help themselves." The club is also working to broaden the events at the games to attract more spectators. Weiser said. The team will play in Oct. 11 for a repeat performance. The club is also trying to get sky divers to come in and perform, although no definite plans have been made. The club hopes to increase sales by a net 800 percent, Weiser said. "But we need a drastic increase," he said. "We need increases by the thousands rather than the hundreds." Simons said the club would wrap up its sales by the end of August. Chiefs give former KU quarterback another chance to play pro football By Dawn O'Malley Sports editor Former Kansas quarterback Frank Seurer Jr. is looking for a job. And he may have found one with the Kansas City Chiefs. Seerer is trying out with the Chiefs at the team's training camp at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. On a team traditionally troubled with quarterback problems, the only question remaining for head coach John Mackovic is how many quarterbacks will he keep? Recently, Mackovic named Todd Blackadge as his No. 1 quarterback. However, if Mackovic decides to keep three quarterbacks, Seurer, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, may have found a job. Frank Seurer Jr. "The main thing I am just trying to show is that I can read coverages and get the ball to the right area," Seurer said yesterday. "I just am using the proper terbibble, and just being able to make it will be enough to make the Chiefs." Seurer left Kansas in 1894 as the school's all-time leading passer with 6,410 yards, and signed with the Los Angeles Express of the United States Football League. The Express is no longer in existence, and the USFL is defunct, but two years ago it seemed like a dream come true for Seurer. Seurer said there were several reasons he chose the USFL over the National Football League. John Hadl was the head coach. Secondly, it was an opportunity to return back to Southern California where he had grown up. The Express offered their fifth-round draft pick a three-year guaranteed contract after three years, a clause not widely seen in the NFL. "For a beginner coming in, I saw no reason not to go to the USFL," he said. "But I'm glad it's over. I'd prostrate myself again under the same situation." Suerer then went to play with the Seattle Seahawks. He had been picked in the third round of the NFL's supplemental draft of the USF. So he left the Express last summer to head to Seattle's summer camp. Things seemed right on track for Seurer, until the Seahawks cut him "All the time you're the first one picked, and for the first time someone is telling you that you are not good enough to play on the team. You lose a lot of confidence," he said. "You're always a problem with me." Out of a job, and no school, Seurer didn't know what to do. He returned to Kansas last spring to finish his degree in personnel administration and communications. He continued to finish before he gets his degree. "Football is my primary concern," he said. "I can always finish school, I can't play forever." Seurer began playing football when he was 8 years old. Hadi was the one who showed Seurer playing football for the San Diego Chargers at the time, and In high school, Sueer threw 5,000 yards, and led his team to a state championship. All he wanted was to play football in California, but when he came to Southern California, the University of Southern California, Sueer decided to play out of state. Seurer was beginning his first year in tackle football in Huntington, Calif. "To tell you the truth, it was a weird situation," he said. "I grew up in southern California, and USC was the only school I wanted to go to. I said 'Hell, I'll go out of state.' I narrowed to Colorado and Kansas." Throughout his career, Seurer said, he has been plagued by a lack of confidence in his abilities. "I know this is really weird. You need a lot of confidence," he said. Seurer said other athletes have faith in him, and places added pressure on himself. Searer said he appreciated the opportunity to play close to home. His mother, Sue, and widest brother, Tim, still live in Lawrence. His family works in Kansas City, while his brother Troy works in California. Everything might be fine, except one family member is missing: his father, who was Seurer's 1. no fan. Frank Sr. was found stabbed to death, Aug. 2, 1983, in his Lawrence restaurant. "He wanted me to play football more than anything in the world." Seurer said. "It's made me work harder because he had a lot to do with it." Bv Colleen Siebes Staving in shape in the summer can be hazardous to your health They're fitness fanatics. They're sweeping the country, indulging in alfalfa and wheat germ, checking their heart rates regularly and running, always running, not stop, not rain, not snow, nor dark of night, not even 90-degree weather. People who continue to jog during the hot summer months could be doing more than just running around in a park, and they may enter into some serious health hazards. "Joggers have to be a lot more careful in the summer," said Al Fereshet, assistant men's track During exercise, the body's blood flow to the skin increases to help burn heat by sweating. Much of the fluid expelled through sweating comes from the blood. When the body runs low on this fluid, blood flow to other vital organs, such as the brain, is impaired, causing dizziness. Blood flow is reduced during perspiration which is the body's natural cooling process. coach. "because on extremely hot days they are more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat strike." The stopping of this cooling process is the primary cause of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, said Audrey Kamb, registered nurse at the Health Education Center in Watkins Hospital. When a person suffers from heat exhaustion, his body temperature is normal but his skin turns pale and feels cool and clammy. Perspiration decreases or stops and the victim may feel dizzy and nauseated. Heat exhaustion is a preface to in the case of heat exhaustion, a runner should immediately stop, rest and drink water, said Dr. Kathryn Welch, of the University of Kansas Medical Center. Every effort should be made to reduce the victim's body temperature by moving them to a cool area, fanning them or using cold naps. heat stroke said Kamb. "If you're dizzy and nauseated,—get out of the sun," Kamb said. It is not only the beginners who suffer side effects from running in the summer, but also the conditioned athlete. "Even well-conditioned runners can suffer heat stroke. Remember Alberto Salazar." Fereshian said. Salazar, who once held the American record in the 5,000 and 10,000 meter runs, received last rights from a champion who won the race to 108 degrees after running the 7.1 mile Falmouth Road Race in Massachusetts. The quality of the workout does not depend on the temperature when one exercises, but rather on the duration of activity. Fereshetian said. "I have led marathon runners staggeringly at尽着 the end of a race to the finish line," Kamb said. "They were suffering mental confusion caused by dehydration to the brain. Sometimes they don't know where they are heading or half-length Gatorade) later they were in much better shape." "Running in the heat will only cause more water loss and probably shorten the duration of your workout. It may be more quickly," Ferehesetian said. To get a maximum workout and to avoid overheating, Fereshetian said, wear light clothes, run in the early morning or evening and drink small amounts of liquid while running to repleinish the body's loss of fluid. . Fereshetian said that if a person is in doubt about whether they are able to continue running, they should cut their running time and slow down their pace. "A good test is the 'talk-test.' If you can talk while your running, you're probably running at a good rate," Fereshetian said. "But if you have trouble talking and breathing you're probably overdoing it."
