The Kansas men's basketball team had to feel the pressure last year when it took on first place Oklahoma on Feb. 24 in an important Big Eight Conference game.
Few fans cheer 'Hawks
Special to the Kansan
It wasn't as if the women's team was marketing an inferior product. It boasted Vickie Adkins, an All-America candidate, and a team contending for the conference title. Head coach Marian Washington was respected throughout the nation. She had built a four-man squad that
After the men's victory, NBC announcers Dick Engberg and Al McGuire signed a few autographs and left. Most of the press, which had required four extra tables because of the magnitude of the first game, packed up and left. Only a gathering of 1,000 fans stayed to watch the second game. The noise level in the arena was similar to a Tuesday morning practice as the game went down to the wire. Kansas lost t8-77.

The Jayhawks upset Wayman Tisdale and the Sooners 92-76 before a crowd of 14,569 in Allen Field House, plus a national television audience. The game long will be remembered by KU fans as the highlight of the men's 1984-85 season.
Half an hour after the men's victory, the Kansas women's team played Oklahoma in a game of similar importance. Like the men, the women's team was trying to upset the first-place Sooners. But unlike the men, the women didn't have the support of a sellout crowd or the excitement of being nationally televised.
produced the leading scorer in the history of women's basketball, Lynette Woodard.
Woodard, a four-time All-American from 1977-1981, was on the sidelines as a KU assistant coach before the Oklahoma game as over 13,000 people left the field house. Lisa Dougherty, a sophomore guard for the Jayhawks, said coming out of the dressing room and seeing a full house would have given the players a big boost, once they got over the shock.
What won't be remembered from that Saturday afternoon is that a double-header was held at Allen Field House.
"It's been difficult for me, and from my position, it has been difficult to find funding." Washington said. "But I think everyone is aware that promoting women's sports is necessary."
Washington said other teams would like to emulate the Iowa situation, but the problem was obtaining the money for promotions.
On Feb. 3 last year, the Iowa women's basketball team proved that the right promotions and circumstances could draw a crowd to a women's game. 22,157 fans attended the Hawkeyes' Big Ten Conference game against Ohio State.
"I'd probably have a heart attack," Dougherty said.
The total budget for the men's basketball team in 1984-85 was
Kansas has had a women's basketball program since 1968, but drew only 10,500 fans in 11 home games last season. The men's team drew 220,610 in attendance in 16 home games.
"It's a psychological letdown." Washington said. "We really don't want our young players to have to experience that kind of situation too often."
Washington said she didn't like to see situations like the Oklahoma
budget was $193,640 Of the total athletic budget of $5,692,929,
women's athletics received $444,950.
"I think that the challenges women face today, whether it's in athletics or in any other field, is facing a certain attitude," Washington said. "That attitude in many cases is looking at women as inferiors. That attitude is changing, but until it changes completely, they'll be ongoing challenges for women."
"A lot of student athletes get hurt emotionally about what other people see as small things," Mai-Dalton said. "The problem is the manner of priorities and the lack of understanding of what can be done, the vision. They need the mindset that women's athletic programs can be successful.
Renate Mai-Dalton, associate professor of business and a member of the Kansas athletic board, said lack of fan support and unequal treatment could discourage women athletes.
Under the title, no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from any program at an institution receiving federal financial assistance. After a court decision last summer, Title IX was interpreted to mean that only the program that directly received federal money must guarantee equal acceptance of women.
TITLE IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 did a lot for the advancement of women's sports, but Title IX recently has been under attack.
"I imagine playing for the women's basketball team in a double-header behind the men's team and the minute you get up, there's a huge exodus of people. It affects the morale and in turn, it affects the performance. If you're a woman athlete, you've got to draw one conclusion — we're probably not as important as

Mainstream papers not always all the news
Wednesdav. Dec. 11, 1985
By Stefani Day Kansan Magazine writer
In the old days, the Lawrence Journal-World and the University Daily Kansan were not the only papers available in Lawrence.
In years past, a town might have a dozen newspapers. The publisher of a paper was often its editor, writer and delivery boy.
Tim Miller, who has captured some of the spirit of those old publishers with his paper, Plumber's Friend, said recently that in the days of multiple newspapers, "There wasn't this phony objectivity that you have today. Papers didn't make much pretense about, 'We're going to be the one news organ that's going to serve the whole community.'"
Tim Miller, creator of Plumber's Friend, takes a ride on the elevator of the Adams Alumni Center.
The 45 years between the inception of the first Kansas newspaper, the Kansas Weekly Herald, and the turn of the century into a fruitful in Kansai journalism history.
In Lawrence, more than 20 regularly published newspapers were founded between 1855 and 1900. The next 80 years have seen most of those papers die and only about six new ones begin.
Miller, a KU lecturer in religious studies, said he had gained an appreciation for the power of multiplication doing research into Kansas history.
"I had a much better sense of the period I was working on after reading four or five different opinionated accounts of what was going on than I would have reading one
mainstream paper that claimed to tell it all.
"Reading all these many different voices, I really felt like I got a better sense of the real issues of the day. I think that pushed me over the brink."
Over the brink was Miller's paper, Plumber's Friend, one of at least
three papers founded in the past to years that have attempted to bring a new point of view to Lawrence and the University of Kansas.
Plumber's Friend, an eight-page photocopied paper which sells for 25 cents, attempts to fill in holes left by
the journal-World and the Kansan, Miller said.
"There's a certain body of facts that wasn't being reported," he said.
"There was very little sense of how today's news story fits into a longer chain of events. There was little news analysis.
'It seemed like there was room for
something else to be done."
That something else is what Miller calls idiosyncratic personal journalism.
Papers today are opinionated under a veneer of objectivity, which skews a reader's understanding, Miller said.
He doesn't pretend to be objective an idea he calls a farce in most papers. Plumber's Friend is purely Mills' writer, editor and publisher.
However, he said, 90 percent of his story ideas come from other people.
"People send me amazing information," he said. "More amazing by far than what I run, in many cases. Some of the best stuff, I don't have enough verification for and can't go with it."
The original purpose of Plumber's Friend, which he started in 1981 as Ear to the Ground, was to ferret out untold scandals and news stories around Lawrence and the University, Miller said.
After 11 issues, he turned away from the investigative stories for lack of time and renamed his paper Plumber's Friend.
The name, he said, "kind of describes what I'm trying to do. When things are clogged, a plumber's friend kind of stirs them around and gets them moving again."
A recent issue of the paper, which is published about eight times a year, focused on the Adams Alumni Center and tearing down that sacred cow.
