Film banned by K-State gets KU showing tonight
A film that was temporarily banned last week at Kansas State University will be shown at 7:30 tonight in Woodruff Auditorium.
Mike Miller, SAU adviser, and yesterday no problems were foreseen for tonight* shown.
"Immoral Tales," banned at KState because it was judged as offensive, explores sexuality through the centuries.
tuck Eden, program adviser for the K-State student union, said the Kaleidoscope Committee, in charge of international films in conjunction with the English department, had scheduled and then banned the film at K-State. Eden said the committee, one of two responsible for films shown in the 1974 French film would be sexually explicit and offensive and that it wouldn't fit in with other scheduled films.
But after press coverage and a reconsideration by the committee, the ban was lifted.
"Several members of the English department felt the university should be an open forum for discussion, and agreed to run it," she said in a message to "some people." Eden said of
Leen said that the film, which drew a crowd of 625, was mild to most people, and that no problems had arisen from the showing.
Katherine Giele, SUA adviser, said the
film was scheduled at KU because the film committee thought it was appropriate. Films shown by SUA are booked more than six months in advance.
Steve Schmidt, KU SUA film program director, said he had seen the film elsewhere.

Miller said, "It hasn't been discussed here."

The athletic romance and glided spectacle of the Olympic games is still three years away. But for some, the not-so-morous side of the games is happening now.

That side is training, and David Conrad, Lawrence sophomore, knows it all too well. Since 1979, Conrad has been training as a teacher for nearly 40 days in classes a week and as much as 130 miles a day.
Corrad, the winner of two state championships and many national titles in the last two seasons, will be able to gain position and ratings that may give him a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
"You can't do it over night," Conrad said. "I just want to see how far I can go."
UNTIL NOW, he has gone far. Conrad is one of only two riders in Kansas who have a 1 rating (the best from the United States Cycling Federation.
Now he's working on getting top ratings at the international level by competing in a series of International Development Races. He's also played in the Arkansas, Conrad said he was leading the pack and probably would have won if cramps from a strained hamstring hadn't slowed him down. In the 112-mile race he finished the final finish in international competition.
60. Conrad asked he tried to maintain regular clothing and eating habits, although he occasionally enjoyed his mother's cooking.
At 6 feet, Conrad tries to stay at about 145 pounds.
Another part of Conrad's training is keeping a daily log book of almost everything about his cycling, including where, when and how long he rides, the wind direction, the bike he rides and his vital signs before and after training. The log also includes his meals, his sleeping hours and his daily activities.
"A LOT of cyclists try to like health foods, but I don't," he said, "because good meats and salads give me more energy to burn."
Conrad said the log book helped him to evaluate his progress and problems in both settings.
Because a cyclist uses nearly every muscle in the body, training in a gym can be very effective.
"IN A LONG RIDE, you really notice the dividends of lifting weights," he said, "but I'm not a be-ma-r. I'm probably the smallest and thinnest man down there most of the
However, the endurance needed to win races, especially in the Olympics, comes from the endurance required for a long-distance run.

are made up of University administrators, he said.
CLARK COAN, dean of foreign students, was chosen to lead the personnel policies and procedures committee, and Alderson leads the staff training program committee.
The mission committee, which is directed by Kala Stroup, dew of women, will define the purpose of the division and its relationship with the other divisions at KU.
In a visit to KU March 30, Ambler said that he wanted to organize a survey program similar to one at Kent State. The computerized program would have lists of students categorized according to common interests. Names could be drawn at random from the lists to sample student opinion on any topic.
A committee with a potentially large workload is the three-member student information and research committee, led by Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records.
"We're working with the student and we want to know about who we're developing services for; who you are, what you want and where you're going." Alderson said.
Conard has训练 usually consisted of riding between 40 and 130 miles a day at about 20 miles per hour. His ride lengths depend on how much school work he has.
"Of course, those wants have to be linked with our resources."
Although the riders aren't "difficult," he said, it is difficult finding people to ride with them.
IT HELPIS his training, be said, to ride with someone of his caliber to keep him on his knees. His friends in the Oread Bike Club often join forces to give him competition.
When he races, however, there aren't any friends to contend with. Only the performance of his own body and mind are important, he said.
"You have to search for things to think about when you're riding that long," Conrad said. His last 120-mile race took him almost five hours.
Although Centred had said the will to stick it out, his social life sometimes suffers from overeating.
"You look into car seats to see whether there's a good-looking girl in the front seat," he said, or you should be sitting on the back seat for the head all day long." He said he also watched birds.
CONRAD SAID a positive, alert mental state was important because "by the time it comes down to the last 90 miles, it's just a matter of who wants it and who wants to get away."
"A lot of people accuse me of being one-track minded, and say that's all I think about," he said, "but I can't help it when it's the major theme in a day.
"Iprobably don't have as much of a social life as other guys, but on the other hand I don't sit in my corner and study all the time when I'm not riding. My night time hours are pretty strict, but a lot of us bike guys get together sometimes and have a good time."
DESPITE ANY disadvantages that his riding career might turn, Conrad said. He has only been in a couple of races.
In fact, he said, he enjoys the sport enough to occasionally bike with friends.
"It it doesn't bother me that I'm known for cycling. I probably ride for who knows."
"But," he said, "when I go out and ride
fun, you people always say. "You're riding
for fun."
