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.
Special to the Kansan
Few fans cheer 'Hawks
Rv Tony Cox
The Jayhawks upset Wayman Tisdale and the Sooners 82-76 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.
What won't be remembered from that Saturday afternoon is that a double-header was held at Allen Field House.
After the men's victory, NBC announcers Dick Enberg 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 78-77.
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 a sellout nationally televised.
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 ten-match program that
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 Jayhaws, 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.
"I'd probably have a heart attack." Dougherty said.
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.
Washington said she didn't like to see situations like the Oklahoma double-header.
"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."
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. 21,157 attended the Hawkeyes' Big Ten Conference game against Ohio State.
"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.
The total budget for the men's basketball team in 1984-85 was
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 inferior. That attitude is changing, but until it changes completely, they'll be ongoing challenges for 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.
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.
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.

"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."
"Iimagine 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

No matter what language, it's still the holiday season
By Bengt Ljung
Kansan Magazine writer
But Santa doesn't visit only the United States.
His annual tour is nothing but hard work. It's up and down slippery chimneys all night across the country.
In a few weeks, when it's time for Santa Claus to hail the reindeer to his sleigh, he'll have a busy schedule ahead of him.
As Santa reaches Great Britain and the Americas, most people are asleep, and he has to enter by the chimney.
Modeling a Beginners! Swells Stud
But traditional families on the countryside in Latin America have to wait until Twelfth-night, Jan. 5, when the Three Holy Kings arrive with their gifts.
The whole world feels the holiday spirit. The feeling is among people even where Christmas isn't celebrated.
Streets and buildings are illuminated. People decorate their homes and visit friends and relatives.
On New Year's Eve, fireworks are as universal as listening to the midnight bells.
In China, where Christmas isn't celebrated, New Year takes its place. Families gather and little children enjoy a celebration Xiaofang Zhou, Peking freshman.
The American and northern European view of Santa Claus is gaining internationally, as the celebration becomes more commercial. The three kings and other deliverers of gifts are becoming an outdated tradition.
Bess Primodig, Malmo, Sweden,
sophomore, says the month before
Christmas is a time of preparation
and anticipation.
Santa's sleigh has a hard time making it to Africa, but Nigerians in the non-Muslim south mix Christmas traditions for their holiday season.
"Christmas is entirely different from here," Okoronko says. "People go out in the streets to see friends and some wear traditional dresses."
"The whole house smells good of baking, cinnamon and saffron, of flowers and the Christmas tree.
In Nigeria, many people start saving money and preparing three or four months before Christmas, says Kofi Aminu, Umahita, Nigeria, sophomore.
"It's so dark outside and so warm and light inside," she says.
"Feasts go on in one village a time from December to February. Drummers and dancers perform in the common market place one or two days. We visit each others 'villages to ring at the dances.'"
Families invite guests to their homes before they all go to the village feasts. Okoronkwo says.
Zhou says performances in streets and plazas — especially the dragon dance.
Christmas is spent with the family. Oliver Muller, Eternoz, France, freshman, says his family invites people to their home for Christmas.
"It's hard for people to be alone at Christmas," he says. "Families gather more often in France than in America."
While young people celebrate the New Year with friends at parties.
In Eterntoz, a village of about 200 inhabitants 25 miles from the Swiss border, the tradition of young men going from house to house still lives. In "le conscrit," 18-year-olds tour the village after Christmas for four or five days, getting more drunk by each house they visit. It's a ritual of being accepted as an adult, Muller says.
Enrique Espinosa, Mexico City junior, says the Posada parties have a similar origin. For nine nights up to Christmas, people go from house to house singing and searching for a place to stay, as the Bible says people searched for boarding at the time Jesus was born. Work slows down after Dec. 17 in Mexico, Espinosa says
"There are parties every night up until Christmas," he says. "Christmas Eve is the biggest party."
During the Posada parties, Mexicans play "pinata." The pinata is a clay pot hanging from the ceiling, filled with candy and little toys. It's covered by newspaper and cardboard in the shape of animals, a star or Santa Claus himself. A blindfolded person tries to smash the pinata with a stick.
The holiday season is a good time to visit friends, and both Frimodig and Zhou are convinced that visitors must eat something before they leave, to keep the holiday spirit from being ruined.
Food is an important ingredient for holiday celebrations. Special meals are a must. A French Christmas would be as incomplete without la buche de noel cake as a Mexican Christmas without mole sauce with the tortillas and chicken. And a Swedish Christmas smorgasbord is the original smorgasbord.
When the pinata breaks, the toys and candy fly all over the room and people rush to get their share.
Marie Helene Clerc, Eterno,
France, freshman, says the candy is
already all over the house in France
to search the house for "les papillotes."
But eating many New Year's Day dumplings, in the shape of old Chinese currency, Chinese have believed would bring prosperity for 1,300 years, Zhou says. And the person finding the one coin will be especially fortunate the following year.
Zhou says he has never heard of Chinese fortune cookies except in Hong Kong and Chinese restaurants in the United States.
Frimidog says the finder of the almond in the Christmas oatmeal on the morning of Dec. 24 will supposedly be next in the family to marry.
Espinosa says a Jesus figure is hidden in a doughnut the size of a car
