Kansanstaffwriter John Leavens, NCAA representative for certification, told members of a University certification committee that the University's year-long study would involve gathering and evaluating information about the KU athletic programs. Under a program started nationally in September, each of the 300 Division I NCAA institutions must perform a self-study every five years to receive NCAA certification, Leavens said. The self-study gives the schools a chance to prepare for a certification review by the NCAA. the mission and goals of the KU athletic program, including the amount of institutional control the University has over the program; Leavens said the KU self-study would explore at least four areas of student-athlete concerns, including: the academic standards of student-athletes, including comparisons of the admissions and graduation rates between student-athletes and the rest of the KU students; the financing of the KU intercollegiate athletic programs along with the raising and distribution of revenue for student-athletes; and the fair and equal treatment of all female and minority athletes, including financial support, scholarship availability and number of women's teams. "There's a lot of anxiety on some of the memberships' part that this is a make-work effort," Leavens said. "The process is intended to be lean and mean. It's not intended to shower the campus with paper." To prepare for the NCAA representatives' review in November 1994, members of the four certification self-study committees needed to write a focused and comprehensive report, Leavens said. Instead of only looking for problems or highlights of the athletic program, the University should approach the self-study as an opportunity to look at how well KU athletic programs serve student athletes, Leavens said. "It shouldn't be scary that you are going to identify concerns in your program," Leavens said. "It will help you move toward a higher level of excellence." The KU athletic program would only lose complete NCAA certification if the University decided to totally ignore any recommendations from the self-study report or those of the NCAA certification representatives, Leavens said. Bob Frederick, athletic director, said he looked forward to the review of the athletic programs. "We feel we're in pretty good shape on the four issues," Frederick said. "What we think we're doing now conforms to standards of the institution and the NCAA. But now we have the University-wide community to help us validate this." David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs and chair of the NCAA athletics certification steering committee, said the study would attempt to involve all members of the University. "We want to keep a good flow of information to the community about the process," Ambler said. "The keystone to the program will be full community involvement." CAMPUS BRIEFS Teens to be tried as adults in carjacking Two Topeka youths who were arrested in the shooting of a Lawrence man will not stand trial as adults, a district court judge ruled Friday. Courtney Crockett and James Wadley, both 17, will be tried as juveniles, Judge James Paddock said. Paddock's three-page ruling said that both would benefit from the court's juvenile counseling and rehabilitation programs. Neither has performed well in school, and neither has a criminal record, the ruling said. shot the victim and will stand trial as an adult. His trial is scheduled to begin Feb. 2. Crockett and Wadley were arrested Sept. 18 in a murder and attempted carjacking in Riverfront Park in North Lawrence. A third Topeka teen, Abraham Orr, also was arrested. Orr was identified as the one who Crockett comes from a single-parent family and suffers from low self-esteem, Paddock said. Wadley comes from a close-knit family but also suffers from low self-esteem, with a tendency to follow anyone who shows an interest in him. raddock said that although the crime was violent, Crockett and Wadley were not principal actors and did not need to be tried as adults.
