Chute Club drops into fifth place
Jayhawks were in the air this weekend, and not just because of the Big 8 standings.
While a few students were hitting the beverage following the game, three members of the KU Sports Parachute Club were hitting the silk over Tahlequah, Okla., and placing fifth in the nation at the National Intercollegiate Championships.
Matt Farmer, Kansas City, Mo., senior, placed second nationally in senior division of "advanced accuracy" to lead the KU team. Other members of the team are John Koening, Rochester, N.Y., junior, who was also in the senior competition, and Bob Petering, St. Louis, Mo., in the novice division.
Senior competition is restricted to those with over 50 jumps, and the novice class for those under 50 jumps.
This is the first time a KU jumper has placed, and the first time the team has finished in the standings.
Capt. William Silvey of the Army ROTC department and the club's faculty advisor said the team competed against 30 other teams including the three service academies which usually dominate the meet.
The Club, which does its jumping outside of Topeka, now has 35 active members.
Six to present recital
Six KU students, whom the School of Fine Arts faculty chose as "outstanding" for their music recitals last semester, will present an Honor Recital at 8 p.m. Nov. 8 in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Soprano Jean Barnes, Osage City junior, will sing music by Rossini. Barbara Rundle, Clay Center senior, will accompany her on the piano.
A flute and bassoon duet will be presented by Nancy Hitt, Lawrence junior, and Charles Rader, Kansas City, Mo., senior. They will play "Bachianas Brasilieras N. 6" by Villa Lobes.
"Fantasy Pieces" by Schumann will be played by clarinetist Charles Lawson, Muskogee, Okla., senior, with piano accompaniment by Jane Fager, Topeka junior.
Soprano Judith Strunk, Abilene junior, will sing works by Mozart and Korngold.
Chopin's "Ballade, Op. 47" will be performed by pianist Nancy Watson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore.
The recital is open to the public without admission charge.
