Student sails to win at windsurfing event
Steve Smith, Kansas City, cuts through the waves at Clinton Lake Saturday during the competition in the 1986 Stroh's American Boarding Tour
Sun, surf and sailing are common elements of summer. These elements were evident at the 1966 Strob's American Boardships Tour at Clinton Lake this past weekend where about 100 windsurfers competed.

Scott Randle, Wichita senior, and his younger brother, Steve, took top honors in the men's event. Scott Randle placed first in the men's division on Saturday, but he finished second behind Steve in Sunday's race.
bethina Steve Ivany, but I "expected myself to do well," Scott Randle said. "You can't afford to make mistakes."
to take his mistake.
Steve Randle capitalized on the mistakes his brother made in Sunday's race.
"I've never been to a slalom race before," Steve said. "I didn't know what to expect. I got lucky. I was at the right place at the right time."
Scott Randle said that he was not surprised by his brother's victory because his brother had a weight advantage and it also was his first slam race.
The races were divided into men's, women's and masters. This meet was one of 12 being held across the country this summer.
The overall winner in the women's division was Allison Smith, a member of the Kansas City Sailboard Association. Don Shipman, also of the Kansas City Sailboard Association, won the master's division.
"Windsurfing itself is one of the best sports," Scott Standle said. "It was on a good lake, the water was nice and warm."
George Paley, organizer of the event, said that people came from as far east as St. Louis and as far west as Hays to compete in the competition.
Eighty surfers competed on Saturday; only 35 surfers competed on Sunday.
"The wind was howling on Saturday and people like to race when it's windy," Paley said.
"This is the first major windsurfing event ever in the Midwest," he said. "There was a lot of built up energy."
Valesente's plan buoys players' grades
Paley said this was the most successful event in the Midwest. In competitions at Minneapolis and Milwaukee, 20-25 surfers participated, he said.

Bob Valesente laid his cards on the table when he took over as head football player in December. He wanted to reduce the number of players who become academically ineligible in the fall
so far, Valesente's plan seems to be working.
This summer, 32 football players are on campus working to maintain their eligibility or making progress toward their degree to graduate on
Valesente said that anyone who hadn't maintained eligibility or whose eligibility was in doubt would not be issued pads when the team's mini-camp opened Aug. 15. He said the team had practiced to practice until his eligibility had been verified, he said. But Valesente is anticipating good news on Aug. 15.
"I'm not going to foresee any problems before any come up," Valesne said Monday. "It's up to players to keep up with their work."
According to Big Eight and the National Collegiate Athletic Association rules, eligibility is based on work completed before the first day of classes. So, if for some reason a player is not eligible Aug. 15, he has an additional 10 days to try to have his eligibility reinstated.
Valesente said that a support system had been set up and that Paul Busirk, the team's administrative assistant, manages the players' each day.
The support program includes a daily study table for individual players, tutoring in specific areas and three mandatory meetings.
and three minimally improved "The support program has improved considerably," Valesente said.
Buskirk has been with the department for three months. He helps to coordinate admission and enrollment for new recruits and works on maintaining player eligibility. He also works with the academic counseling department to monitor the progress of the players.
"And emphasis has been placed in the proper place."
"I've definitely seen a complete attitude improvement," he said. "We're trying to keep a handle on things."
buskirk said yesterday that the mood in the department was much more attuned to academics now than it was in the past.
During the summer, the players' professors are asked to give progress reports. Buskirk said. These reports were not being given to the player is doing well or poorly.
The study table is also provided for
these players who need additional structured study time, Buskirk said. The players check in each day and study for a specific amount of time.
Buskirk said the number of incomplete courses for the players was less in the spring semester than it had been in the past.
Rick Clayton, linebacker, takes part in a study table five days a week from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. He said he had been taking for takes classes this summer.
"I'm doing it to maintain eligibility, to raise my GPA and it gives me something to do," Clayton said.
Clayton said it would be easier for him to get a better grade during the summer than during the season, because he wouldn't have the added pressures and activities. He thought that instead of just lying around all
Two swimmers going to World Swim Trials

While some students may have been sleeping late into the morning, two members of the Kansas swimteam were up early, working out for the World University Swimming Trials in Orlando, Fla., this
Glenn Trammel and Liz Duncan will represent Kansas at the Trials. Duncan will swim the 50-meter freestyle tomorrow and Trammel will swim the 100-meter backstroke Friday.
Trammer's time, 50.2 seconds, was fast enough to win a place in the backstroke competition at the trials, finishing the season, winning the 50-yard freestyle in 26.27.
Finishing first or second would mean an invitation to compete in the World University Games in Madrid, Spain. Aug. 11-21. The third-place winners will go to Moscow for the Goodwill Games in July.
swimming. But for now, Trammel is concentrating only on the trials.
"If I could make either team, it would be my highest achievement in swimming." Trammel said.
Lake right now, I've already imagined myself swimming the 100-meter backstroke at World
Before his race, Trammel said, he could be seen alone with his Walkman headset on listening to his favorite songs by The Cars, Billy Idol, Rush and U2 to prepare for the race.
Thus, he said, "I will swim through the race and I know how I should swim it, how I want to swim it."
Trammel listened to "Runner." Manfredmann's saintribute to the Olympic games, before breaking Kansas as a freshman, recorded as a freshman this past season.
At the Senior Nationals Meet, Tramnel broke the record of 51.19 set by Brad Coens in 1984. His time, 50.2, was good enough for a school record and qualified him for the trials.
Duncan began her freshman year as a walk-on and is one of three women's team captains. Taryn Hearrold. Her harrow are the two other captains.
After captain, Duncan said that she was confident about the meet, but that on any given day anything could happen depending on whoever was ready at the time of the race.
"She has de-iced a tremendous amount in three years," Kempf said. "She has become one of the better sprinters in the nation."
