When 6-foot-4-inch ROTC cadet Geoff Athey stepped up to a challenge this summer, he dwarfed it.
The rankings of Athey and the 2,000 other cadets at Fort Lewis were based, in part, on leadership skills. Performance in rifle marksmanship, land-navigation skills, physical fitness and other abilities also was evaluated.
Athey was named a regimental honor graduate at one of two U.S. Army ROTC camps. Only 14 of 4,000 Army ROTC cadets nationwide earned the title.
"Our troop consisted of 127 cadets, and that's a lot of people to influence," Athey said.
Athey said he probably clinched the top ranking with his performance as a troop commander.
"I set it as a goal before I left, but I didn't expect it," said the Sherman, Texas, senior.

After a grueling eight-hour day of defense tactics drills, Athey ordered
ROTC cadet earns honor
Athey earned the top honor by outperforming the other 259 cadets in his regiment at an ROTC camp in Fort Lewis, Wash.

"He has good rapport with not only the students in ROTC but also students on campus," he said
Kari Van Hoof, who was among the other 31 KU cadets who attended the camp, said that the news of Ahey's achievement came as no surprise.

"When I found out I said, 'Well, you kind just of hard to expect it,' said Van Hoof, an Enumclaw, Wash., senior. "He's one of the best around."

his troop on a four-mile march to a field for an overnight camp out. Athey organized tent location, meetings and meal and hygiene schedules until the troop returned to training the following day.
"I think one of the things that helped me at camp was how multicultural this university and this corps is," he said.
Athley, who interacted with cadets from throughout the western United States, credited the University, in part, for his success.
Cadets' performance at the camp plays a strong role in their placement in the military after graduation, Athey said. Other key factors in placement are professors' recommendations and grade point average, he said.
IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE TO MAKE A CHAMPION
"There are seven regiments at advanced camp, and to be a top cadet in one of those regiments is really an outstanding achievement," he said.
This semester Athey is serving as the commander of the Jayhawk Battalion, KU's ROTC corps. He said he planned to graduate in May 1995 with a civil engineering degree and be commissioned as a second lieutenant. Athey said he then hoped to be branched into the Army's Corps of Engineers at Fort Hood, Texas, where he and his wife, Beth, will live.
reute was one quality that made him a good leader.
Lt. Col. Ron Nicholls, professor of military science, said that Athey was the only KU cadet in at least the past five years to earn the honor.
"It was pretty chaotic, but it went smoothly," he said.
Nicholl said that Athey's ability to
"My wife and I want to have kids when I go back into the Army, and so we want to be close to grandma," he said.
Lawrence notices increase in trash with students' return
By Scott J. Anderson Kansan staff writer
It is 9 a.m. Sunday, and many KU students still are asleep. But evidence of a weekend of celebrating remains in downtown Lawrence.
Bottles, cans and cups litter parking lots and streets downtown. Some business owners and city employees said the problem has gotten worse since students have returned.
Downtown partying results in litter
"In the last two weeks there have been more beer bottles and cans and wine cooler bottles right around the bar areas," said Rebecca Grimstead, a Lawrence parking control officer. "They don't want to carry it around, so they set it down by meters or in a parking lot."
Enforcing city ordinances against
littering can be difficult, police said,
because officers must see someone
breaking the law to issue a ticket.
Martin said the landlord, Master Plan Management, had hired someone to clean the lot on Sunday mornings. He said he had tried to work out an agreement with The Bottleneck to keep the parking lot open as long as the bar made sure the lot was cleaned up.
Wayne Martin, manager of Kansas Furniture Factory Outlet, 738-E New Hampshire St., said he also had noticed an increase in the amount of trash downtown on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
"It all would take would be a message on the loudspeaker at the end of the night," Martin said. "Kids will listen to the loudspeaker, but they won't
"People come here to park to go to The Bottleneck," Martin said. "They empty the trash from their car in my lot, and I have a big trash can right there in the lot."
listen to me."
The owners of The Bottleneck could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Merchants in other areas of downtown said they also cleaned up around their stores but did not see an increase in the amount of trash.
One student said she was surprised that bar patrons were being blamed for the problem.
"I never see anyone throwing beer bottles or cups," said Casey Cooley, Wichita senior, who works and hangs out at Dos Hombres, 815 New Hamburg St. "No one can leave with anything, so I don't know how it gets out."
"I don't notice it at all," said Patrick Carlin, Arlington Heights senior, who goes to the Bottleneck. "I'm from Chicago, and Lawrence is sparkling" compared to that. I don't litter, and I know my friends don't litter either.
One student said she was surprised that bar patrons were being blamed
Students said they litter around their favorite bars didn't seem to be a problem.
