Khrushchev, who vaulted from Russian peasantry to power the czars never dreamed of, died Saturday seven years after his Kremlin colleagues banished him to obscurity. The former premier and chief of the Communist party succumbed to a heart attack.

He was 77. Friends confirmed he died about noon after spending several days in a hospital used by Kremlin officials.

Russians who do not receive the ultimate accolade of Soviet communism a state funeral and interment in the Kremlin wall. There will be little official mourning for the man who pushed his country into the space age and who in 12 years as the Russians' top leader, 1953-64, sought to reverse the terrorism of Joseph Stalin and to give to the people a better livelihood.

Lived in Seclusion Khrushchev had lived in enforced seclusion in a comfortable country home outside' Moscow since his fall from power in October 19G4. While he got every personal necessity from the current: Kremlin leaders who ousted him, he was officially ignored and his activities were never reported by the Soviet press. He never appeared at state functions and was treated as though he had never ruled the Kremlin.

His last public appearance was in June, when he voted in an election. Americans knew Khrushchev best for his whirlwind lour of their country in 1959, and then for the Cuban missile crisis, but. many Russians knew him as the man who brought them hope for a better life.

"If the stadium expansion materializes," Gass said, "we think we can double ticket sales and upgrade our entire athletic program lo a level expected of Big Eight conference members." Under plans for the vast expansion, half of the money would be raised through a bond issue, subject to approval of the Stale Board of Regents for Higher Education. The OSU president said that it is hopeful that the other funds will come through a money-raising campaign, which will be headed by former OSU football coach Jim Looka-' bnugh of Oklahoma City.
