Athletic dept. favors drug testing
By Jim Suhr
Sports writer
A decision by the National College Athletic Association to establish a drug-testing policy brought a favorable response from KY athletic administrators, coaches and athletes.
The NCAA's ruling, given Tuesday at its conference in New Orleans, is set to go into effect Aug. 1. It established a list of banned drugs, including cocaine and other street drugs, and set guidelines for random testing for drugs of all intercollegiate athletes. Special testing is planned for all national championships and
post-season college football bowl games.
Athletes who fail the tests will be banned from NCAA bowl games and championships.
Del Brinkman, Big Eight faculty representative who attended the Jan. 13-14 conference, said the legislation was the result of concern over the danger of the drugs and the competitive unfairness they promote.
"The problem is more extensive than most people realize," Brinkman said. "It can only be dealt with through testing."
have a drug-screening testing program, test administration and transportation to a place that would analyze the athlete would increase the costs. It is not yet clear where the analysis will take place.
He said the cost of the test was $200 an athlete but since Kansas did not
Gary Kempf, head swim coach, agreed with Brinkman's comments He said every step the NCAA took to eliminate drugs and alcohol was a step in the right direction.
"It is a very positive action," Kempf said. "Collegiate athletics has no place for drugs."
Kempf said his swimmers already went through a drug-screening program. If any athletes tested positive,
Kempt said, they have to consistently re-test until traces of the drug were eliminated.
Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director, agreed.
The new ruling also penalizes a coach who knows of an athlete's drug usage but fails to report it to the NCAA.
"If the coach knows about it and does not take steps to report it, then he is just as guilty as the athlete," Kempf said.
Eligibility standards draw criticism

The National College Athletic Association's controversial decision Monday at its conference in New Orleans to create eligibility requirements for recruits based on college entrance examinations will be a misuse of the exams, a KU athletic official said yesterday.
Richard Lee, assistant athletic director for academic support, said the college entrance exams should be used solely for a high school student's placement in a curriculum level and not to restrict enrollment.
The NCAA's ruling, set to go in effect Aug. 1, is a slightly modified version of the 3-year-old Proposition 48, which called for freshmen to have SAT scores of at least 700, of a possible 1,600, or ACT scores of at least 15.
of a possible 36, and a high school grade point average of 2.0 or above to be athletically eligible.
Under the new proposal, Proposal 16, a slightly higher GPA can offset a slightly lower SAT or ACT score.
Lee said the effects of the ruling on the KU athletic program could be seen only over time.
"It think it will eliminate a number of individuals who have the given level of skills to participate as freshmen but simply do not perform well on the tests." Lee said.
Del Brinkman, KU's athletic department faculty representative, who attended the NCAA conference, said the legislation was designed only to increase collegiate academic standards and to improve college preparation in high schools.
"The NCAA only wants legislation
aimed at getting at the problem and creating standards and rules." Brinkman said. "Competitive unfairness develops without such legislation." Lee said problems would develop for smaller NCAA Division I schools, especially black colleges, and for black students in predominantly white schools.
"Black colleges will suffer immensely," he said, "only because black institutions and students have historically not done well on the SATs and ACTS."
Lee said Kansas planned to adhere to the new NCAA regulations but he added there may be other colleges that wouldn't.
"I'm sure there will be schools who will attempt to circumvent the rule," Lee said. "The time may come when
Bob Timmons, men's track head coach, said he could see how people might view the ruling as discriminatory. He said, however, that the ruling was a positive step toward eliminating unproductive scholarships.
"Without this ruling, we would have a lot of athletes who would spend years in college and come out without a degree." he said.
Timmons said the ruling would not affect his recruiting.
"We're hoping this will be a benchmark action by setting better standards," Hunter said.
Gary Hunter, assistant athletic director, said KU attempted to recruit the best student-athletes available.
Jayhawks draw praise from OSU coach
By Matt Tidwell
Sports writer
Oklahoma State basketball coach Paul Hansen had nothing but praise for Kansas, as his team prepared to meet the Jayhawks tomorrow afternoon at 1:05 p.m. in Allen Field House.
The game will be televised locally on KSNT-TV 27 (Topeka) and KMBC-TV 9 (Kansas City).
Hansen called Kansas, 15-2 and winners of 12 of its last 13 games, one of the finest Big Eight teams he had seen in his six seasons in the conference.
"KU is probably one of the top five teams in the nation." Hansen said yesterday. "They are a very, very good basketball team. They have a strong front line. They are very experienced and they can break the game open at anytime."
Oklahoma State will be at less than full strength for the rest of the season. The Cowboys learned last Friday that three players, including leading scorer Muhammad Akbar, were declared academically ineligible. The two other Cowboys lost were reserves Steve Kennedy and Al Sullivan.

Oklahoma State is 0-1 in the Big Eight (9-5 overall) having lost to Missouri on Tuesday 55-51, and Kansas is 1-0 after winning at Nebraska 81-70 on Wednesday.
Terry Faggins, a 6-foot-5-inch senior guard, has been OSU's leading scorer since the loss of Akbar, averaging over 12 points a game. Faggins scored 24 points against Missouri on Tuesday.
Hansen said Kansas' speed and
depth could be the major obstacles to any chances for a Cowboy win tomorrow.
"It's going to be a true test to try and slow Kansas down," he said. "Our defense will be taxed to the maximum because of their depth and size and experience."
The Cowboys have the tallest player in the conference in 7-4 freshman center Alan Bannister from Bolton, England. Bannister has been averaging 6 points and 3.2 rebounds per game while splitting duties with sophomore center Jason Manuel.
Even with Bannister, Hansen said, his team could have problems getting the ball inside against Kansas' 7-1 Greg Dreiling and 6-11 Danny Manning, who Hansen called "one of the greatest finesse players I've ever seen."
Notes — Kansas has won its last four in a row against Oklahoma State and last year beat the Cowboys 84-72 in Lawrence and 88-79 in Stillwater, where Danny Manning set a conference record by making 15 of 16
shots from the floor. . In his career, Paul Hansen is 7-8 against Kansas while Larry Brown has beaten the Cowbirds four times with only one loss. . Manning's 21 points Wednesday against Nebraska was the sixth time he has scored over 28 points in a game this season. . The Jayhawks are fifth in the Big Eight in bench points with KU reserves averaging 15.3 points per game. . The Jayhawks are averaging 13,246 games per game in Allen Field House.

Johnson scores 18 as JV coasts to win
By a Kansan sports writer
Forward Jerry Johnson's 14 first half points and a tough second half defense led the Kansas junior varsity basketball team to a 73-60 victory over the Emporia State University junior varsity team at Allen Field House last night.
The victory raised the Jayhawks' record to 5-2.
Johnson, playing in his second junior varsity game, scored 18 points and pulled down eight rebounds.
"I really went out with the attitude that I was going to play my hardest," Johnson said after the game.
R. C. Buford, Kansas' junior varsity coach, said Johnson played much harder tonight than he did in the 90-62 victory over Baker University Tuesday night.
Doug Henzilk scored 15 points and Rodney Hull added 12 points and nine rebounds.
Buford said he was pleased with the Jayhaws' effort.

Emporia State forward Dennis Fort had a game-high 25 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Ryan Sprecker added 14 points.
Buford complimented Fort on his all-around play.
"He's an excellent player." Buford said. "He's as good or better than any player he've seen."

The Kansas women's basketball team will put its 7-0 home record on the line against Oklahoma State at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.
Kansas, 10-4 overall, opened its Big Eight season Tuesday night with a 84-64 win over Nebraska, 7-7 at Lulaino. Oklahoma State, 10-6, lost its opener Tuesday night at Missouri, 81-56.

Marian Washington, women's head basketball coach, said she was pleased and confident in the defense that sparked the Jayhawk offense against the Cornhuskers.
Washington said the Cowboys had a better inside game than Nebraska, so the Jayhawks would need to run a more effective half-court offense.
Dick Halterman, Oklahoma State head coach, said he didn't plan to place extra defenders on Adkins and his team had made no special preparations for the game.
Nebraska's triple-team defense on Kansas' leading scorer, Vickie Adkins, enabled other Jayhawks to score from the outside, Washington said.
"Vickie's great, but Kansas has seven or eight other great players." he said. "Adkins is going to get her 20 or more points anwav."
The loss of those three players, he said, has left the Cowboys with a weak inside game, a factor he said the Cowboys must overcome against Kansas.
Halterman said his squad was not playing well going into the Big Eight race. He attributed his team's misfortune to bad luck, including a loss of a starter to a knee injury and two other players to academic ineligibility.

She has 1,488 career points and 713 career rebounds and is only 30 points and 39 rebounds shy of moving into third place on the Kansas all-time list in both categories. She also needs 10 more assists to pass her sister, Barbara's. record. Vickie has 104. Sherri Stoecker and Evelute Otk share the lead in assist this season, with 45
"KU has one of the top two or three teams in the conference," Halterman said. "Kansas has had some ups and downs this year, but we've talked to others who have played them. They're a great ball club."

But when the two players who had expected to quarterback the North squad — Robbie Bosco of Brigham Young and Jack Trudeau of Illinois
— were injured in earlier all-star games, Norsest moved over from the South squad and Rypien received a last-minute invitation to participate.
"For awhile, Norseth was really the only quarterback we had," said North coach Dan Reeves, head coach of the National Football League's Denver Broncos. "We worked with Warren Sietz (who played both quarterback and wide receiver for Missouri this fall), but once Rypien arrived (two days ago), he (Sietz) started working full time at wide receiver.
Norseth, a former junior college star from La Cresenta, Calif., who played only two years for Kansas, is 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds. He completed 227 of 408 passes this season for 2,995 yards. A Bie Eight record.
"We'll both use just a few sets," said Reeves. "We'll play man-to-man coverage with strong side zones so the quarterbacks won't be confused."
Rypien, who Reeves said, at 6-4,

"Norseth is more familiar with what we've been trying to do this week," said Reeves. "He's picked up things quickly and thrown the ball well. But, I can't say enough about the excellent job Rypien has done since coming in late."
Reeves said he and South coach Leeman Bennett of the Tampa Bay Bucaneers, in an effort to put their players in the best possible light to help their draft chances, had agreed to keep both their offenses and defenses simple for Saturday's game.
With Norsech changing sides, the South sent out a late call for Louisiana State's Jeff Wickersham to back up Tennessee's Daryl Dickey and Alabama's Pat Washington at quarterback.
Willie Pless, an All-Big Eight linebacker from Kansas, will also play for the North squad.
