Sports Car Club promotes rallies
The Sports Car Club at KU is for anyone interested in having fun with cars, not just for people with sports cars.
"We're dedicated to sports in cars, not sports cars," said Gene Roberts," president of the club.
The club sponsors road rallies, provides information to the members about racing events and serves as a place where people with a common interest in cars can share that interest.
Roberts said the club has sponsored three rallies so far this year. The next rally is scheduled for Nov. 22, after the KU-Missouri football game.

The KU Sports Car Club is not officially affiliated with the University, but Roberts said there is "intercollegiate competition" with the clubs of Oklahoma State and Kansas State Universities.
The club sponsors the AURH gymkhana each spring and is also the home of the Business School racing team, whose members enter their cars in actual track competition.
"Our main purpose is to enjoy our cars and have a good time. We have fun at all our rallies, but
the best one of all is the Braille Rally," Roberts said. Each spring the club stages a rally at the Kansas City School for the Blind, with each of the blind students acting as a navigator.
PAPER FATTENS CATTLE
LUBBOCK, Tex. (UPI)—Waste paper is fattening cattle faster than feed grain at Texas Technological College's research station near Amarillo. A study showed cattle gained 5 per cent faster on a diet of 15 per cent paper than they did on alfalfa hay.

The Business School racing team and their powerful machines are a part of the KU Sports Car Club.
