KU cricket players need more teams to touch bases

Although the University of Kansas Cricket Club was revived more than three years ago, it has played in only eight matches since then, according to Amrendra Sighn, team captain. However, Sighn said that the club is one of only four teams in the Midwest.
In cricket, a bowler bows the ball toward the batsman and tries to hit the wicket. Usually the batsman hits the ball into the field so he can make a run down the 22 yardlong "pitch" to the other wicket. He makes as many runs as possible before a fielder catches him. If he fails to run unlike baseball, the batsman may choose not to run after he hits or misses the ball.
Cricket is a game similar to American baseball except that there are only two bases, which are called wickets. It has been played in England since the Middle Ages, and the sport originated as a slow, gentlemanly sport to be played on village greens on Sunday afternoons.
There are 11 players on each team, and each player hats for six pitches or until he's hit.
There are only two innings in a cricket game, and each team bats once each inning. There is no time limit on games; the world cricket competition usually lasts five days. Each team may score 500 runs in that time.
Sigh said the KU club was started in the 1960s but died when it ran out of money in 1971. He said the club had been revived in 2013 and received funding from the Student Senate.
"All our money goes for equipment," he said. "An average bait costs about $30 but it can save you a lot."
Sighn said that leg guards and gloves must be worn by the batsman to protect the bat when running down a stray gloves. Gloves cost about $15 and leg guards about $3. All the equipment had to be ordered from Canada until recently when a teammate began to carry cricket equipment, he said.
A major problem for the team is maintaining a suitable playing field. The pitch must be smooth and predictable so that the bowler may accurately bowl different types of balls, such as spinners and fast balls. The club now has a woven mat for the pitch, but
Sigh said all travel expenses for matches were the responsibility of the players because the Student Senate provided no money for travel.
the mat is three yards short of the regular 22-vard pitch.
But James Heyman, club adviser, said that since there were many clubs around, the team was not a big part of it.
“There are clubs at K-State and Iowa State and one in Kansas City,” he said, “but we don't really have a schedule with them. It would be nice to have some more teams.”
Douglas County commissioners yesterday received seven bids on furnishings and equipment for the O'Connell Youth Ranch, a group rehabilitation home for male juveniles to be located in rural Douglas County.
Boys ranch gets furnishings bids

Ernest Coleman, federal funds consultant for the county and the ranch's part-time administrator, took the bids under advisement and said he would make his recommendations to the commissioners later this week.
Inc.; Morris Sports; Thompson Furniture,
Inc., and Warehouse Furniture.
The list included appliances, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, desks and chairs, file cabinets, bookcases and recreational equipment.
Coleman said 21 invitations to bid were sent to potential suppliers, 13 of which were in Lawrence. Bids were received from four Lawrence businesses: John E. Colyer Co.,
The bids, which ranged from about $185 to $3,100, were for selected items only on the list of needed equipment and furnishings that was sent out, Coleman said.
Bids that were received were for washers and dryers, living room furniture, bedroom furnishings for the boys' bedrooms, a ping machine, tumbling mats and a weight lifting bench.
Coleman said that the furnishings would be used in the first of the four planned ranch houses at the O'Connell Youth Ranch, and that the cost would be covered under the
Governor's Committee on Criminal Ad-
doption (GCCA) grant that the ranch is now using.
Coleman said that $12,840 of the $34,681 grant had been earmarked for furnishings but that he didn't expect the amount would be sufficient to cover the cost of the purchases. Coleman said he estimated the total cost of $22,000 for new furnishings and equipment.
If the GCCA grant doesn't provide enough money, Coleman said, the ranch will have to utilize other sources for money and possibly rely on donated furniture the ranch had in
The ranch site is on 140 acres about three-fourths of a mile south of the Hwy. K-10 junction with the Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association plant east of
Lawrence. The land was donated by Elsie O'Connell, RL 2.
Construction on the first of the houses began two years ago. Each ranch house will be able to accommodate eight to 10 boys, who have been referred there by the courts.
Each boy at the ranch will live in a rack house with a set of teaching parents who try to help the boy socially, academically, and emotionally on the ranch a few months to a few years.
Coleman said he hoped the ranch could be operating by the end of August or by early September, depending on how soon the furnishings and equipment could be obtained. He work still remained to be done in the houses, the well and swer lagoon.
Work at Med Center is resumed
Construction work on the KU Medical Center's new clinical facility resumed yesterday after the resolution over the weekend of a two-month strike by the Kansas City Bricklayers' Union locals 4 and 18.
Negotiators for the union signed a three-year agreement with the Kansas City State University to bricklayers walked off the job June 3, and construction was halted when other workers
Completion of the $23-million facility was originally scheduled for December 1978, but University officials now say that the strike has pushed the schedule back two months. The new completion date won't be known until an updated report is received from the supervising contractor, J. E. Dunn Construction Co.

Louis Krueger, the state architect, hasn't penalized any of the project's contractors for the days lost because of the strike. The contractors were granted extensions for days not worked in June, and it is expected the same will be done for July.
Kruger has said it would be unfair to penalize the contractors for a strike by their

Harkness said yesterday that the women's studies major was approved in June by the Academics Committee of the Board of Regents and was now a standard official major for students who were seeking degrees in education and bachelor of general studies degrees.
Women's studies, a major for University of Kansas students since 1972, has now become legitimate, according to Shirley Harness, coordinator of the program.
Terms of the new contract weren't announced, but a negotiator for the建筑商 RAYYAN SOLARITIONS had been charged.
BEFORE THE CHANGE, Harkness said, a student who majored in women's studies took a special 2-hour program. The course was taught by the student and approved by the faculty.
The committee's approval will add coherence to the women's studies program, Harkness said, by defining a core of subjects and electives that a student must complete in order to fulfill the degree requirements.
Harkness said the women's studies program at KU began in 1860 when Muriel Johnson, associate professor of human development, introduced a course called woman in contemporary culture. This was the first women's studies course in the United States. Women's studies was approved as a special major in the fall of 1972.
Since then, Harkness said, there have been about 15 students majoring in women's studies during any year. Courses in the college were taken by about 460 students each semester.
A WOMAN'S STUDIES major now requires 30 hours of course work with a concentration in the humanities or social sciences. The core of the program is 12 hours of courses in introduction to women in literature and society; woman in contemporary culture; sex roles and family relationships; the nature of parents of women's rights or women and labor; and an independent study seminar in women's studies.
Eighteen hours of distribution courses are also required. These must be selected from a variety of approved courses in social sciences and humanities, including courses in art, human development and family life, political science and psychology. Courses are also offered through the Schools of Law, Education and Social Welfare.
IN FOUR YEARS, thirteen students have graduated with majors in women's studies, Harkness said. One woman graduate has begun a career in penal reform; another is a doctorate student. Two others are attending graduate school at KU, studying law and urban planning.
The clinical facility, which will add 840,000 square feet to existing facilities, will be the hub of all patient services. It will increase the number of patient beds by 338, bringing the total to 782.
Most of the students who have majored in women's studies have been women, Harkness said, although one man has graduated with the major.
"It's really 1½人," Harkness said. "The second man was a computer science major who was never able to finish the course work he completed most of the course work."
"There's a great deal we don't know about women," she said. "There are definite social differences between men and women. Some of them were based on men be applied to women?"
HARNESS SAID women's studies was a growing field of study, not a fad or a politically motivated topic that would decline in interest or popularity.
The facility will include clinical support laboratories, diagnostic and treatment areas and a new emergency area with high capacity. The hospital will provide X-ray, X-ray and intensive care care.
"We don't know the answers, and there's a great deal of research on going. This is a field in which the student can make a real contribution to the subject."
Although a number of patient bed areas will remain in the old facilities, all support services for the hospital will be in the new building.
The vacated facilities will be reissigned primarily for classrooms, faculty offices and some research space. Most student enrollment increases affected by the move to the school have already taken place. The facilities of 200 entered the medical school last year.
Further enrollment increases in the nursing education program, particularly at the master's level, and in the allied health program also are expected.
