1,900 attend Campus Christmas
By STEVE FRAZIER
Staff Writer
Students in two promotional writing classes at the University of Kansas Friday completed what they called a successful event with an event called Campus Christmas.
a $400 grant from the Downtown Lawrence Association.
Students, a choir, Santa Claus, two teams of television carameneer and Chancellor Bill Orr, and the abbey of Strong Hall for the lighting of a Chapel tree. Campus Christmas was sponsored by
ORGANIZERS of the event said they distributed about 2,000 doughnuts and 2,300 discount coupon books between noon and estimated the crowd size at 1,300 people.
"I thought it was a great success," she
Terri Backhus, Greenwood, M., jun., said yesterday that the success of Campus Christmas was measured by the size of the crowd.
KU bicyclist is developing potential as national racer
By JANET FERREE
Staff Writer
A University of Kansas bicyclist got an idea of his potential as a national racer when he finished fourth behind three nationally ranked riders this weekend in the grueling Fourth Annual Lawrence Cyclo Cross races.
The student, David Conrad, Lawrence sophomore, said yesterday that although he had never raced in national competition, he pushed himself out how he compared with national riders.
"I could place in the top 15 nationally," he said.
Conrad hopes to begin competing nationally next year when the Mount Oread Bicycle Club, of which he is a member, will receive $3,000 from a new club sponsorship. He has been unable to compete in national races because of their expense.
"I DO MORE travelin' than anyone else in the club," he said. "I hope I be able to finish."

groups should have been allowed to be in the show instead of traditional four. Five groups performed for the first time last year after a judging mix-up.
Hannah said five groups wouldn't be allowed in Rock Chalk this year because it would mean added expense and added practice time.
Woods said that Hannah made the decision to use priority numbers to break the tie, and that the KU-Y board supported her decision.
Other groups that submitted scripts were: Delta Delta Delta-Delta Chi, Delta Gamma-Kappa Sigma, Alpha Phi-Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Gamma Delta-Sigmaphi Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma-SigmaChi, Chi Omega-Phi Delta Theta, Hashinger Hall and Sellants-Battered Scholarship Halls.
Conrad said he feels good about his development as a racer and wants to try to be a better racer.
"Unless I make the Olympic team in 1980, I won't have much of a chance," he said.
Other bike racers don't have coaches like other Olympic-mind sports, Connor McLeod said.
"One of this year's Olympic riders, Mark Thompson, is going to KUT right now," he said.
"Keeping a log is kind of like a New Year's resolution," he said. "I usually start out the beginning of the year with keeping it up, but I don't do it off even though it does help me to train."
CONRAD USES a log in which he keeps track of his weight, pulse, the miles he has ridden and the weather to help discipline him as a coach would.
"I If wanted to train harder for Cycle Cross racing, I would practice mounting and dismounting for an hour every day to prevent losing time during a race," he said.
Conrad hasn't been training very hard because of school.
CYCLO CROSS is a combination of bike riding and cross-country running. The race lasts 45 minutes.
Conrad said Sunday's race seemed as if it would never end.
MEMBERS OF THE University Choir began singing Christmas carols shortly after the concert.
"We were tired from Saturday's races and one section was especially rugged," he said. "To get a good time, you had to ride it out, but, run it, was almost impossible to ride."
Conrad said he enjoys racing so much that the physician of training and racing also other him.
THE ONLY thing Conrad doesn't like about riding so much is that he has trouble finding bikers in Lawrence to ride with.
In the summer he rides 400 to 900 miles
while riding his time on his bike to
ride 1500 miles.
Zahid Iqbal, promotional writing instructor, urged the crowd to sing with the choir. As the choir and the crowd began singing, a television cameraman began flaming.
said. "I've never seen this many people get together for anything on this campus."
Occasionally, he wonders why he rides. "I can't figure out a logical reason to do it. That depresses me until I decide to forget worrying about it and just enjoy the sport."
Class members distributed the first of the doughnuts donated by Joe's Bakery, 616 West Ninth St, and soon doughnuts were being thrown to the waiting crowd.
Dykes, accompanied by his wife, Nancy,
and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
arrived smiling as cameramen and
photographers took pictures of him, two
men dressed as Santa Claus and the KU
Javhawk.
THE DOUGHNUT throwing subsided, and television cameraman from KCMO in Kansas City, Mo., and KTSB in Topeka continued pushing their way through the crowd around the perimeter of the Christmas tree.
Dykefys dipped the switch for the Christmas tree lights and wished students a happy holiday along with luck on their final examinations.
Iqbal said yesterday that the event had been a success, and that his classes next semester might try to organize a similar rally on campus.

The principle of Interpart's Spooks and Spoilers is one of directing airflow around and over the car. The Spook, low on the front, as a barrier, directing airflow around the car instead of below it where it becomes drag-generating turbulence. The Spoiler, on the rear deck, "spoils" the smooth airflow over the car and transforms it into a downward force, increasing the loading on the suspension, and providing greater control at high speeds, an irrefutable safety advantage.

Top administrators field questions in open meeting
Questions about the state Civil Service system and Blue Cross-Blue Shield health insurance coverage were fielded by KU administrators Friday at Chancellor Archie Dykes' open meeting for University employees.
Dykes and Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, told about 50 employees that greater flexibility in the Civil Service system was needed to make adjustments in wages and fringe benefits, which some employees said were too low.
Wages and benefits for KU's 1,660 classified employees, who are part of the state Civil Service system, are determined by a facturing according to Civil Service guidelines.

In addition to questions about individual health insurance policies was a suggestion that employers should be encouraged to
Shankel said the University would have problems if it tried to set up a program independent of the state, which now offers a covered insurance plan to state employees.
On other topics, Dykes and Shankel promised that someone would look into free Kansas Union services now given students the opportunity to work. The curry had some departments because of the new KANS-AN phone system, the relocation of library employees when the bindery closes, cramped office space in the parking area, or restroom facilities for female Buildings.
