100 Students Have Fun Skiing, Relaxing In Colorado
Gliding down Colorado mountain slopes occupied the semester vacation of about 100 KU students who went on a ski trip arranged by the YMCA and the YWCA.
The group traveled by cars to Winter Park Lodge and Arapahoe Basin, stayed in lodges styled after Swiss mountain chalets, and ate Swiss food. The total cost of the trip was between $41 and $43 a person, plus lunches and ski rent.
Most of the skiers were beginners, but had the help of 13 experienced instructors, including 9 foreign students.
The novices attended classes in which they were taught the fundamentals of the sport. At the end of the vacation, a few were able to ski on the slopes used by the more experienced skiers.
Evenings in the lodges were spent dancing, playing bridge and square-dancing. The only injuries were five strained ankles.
Bill Allaway, YMCA executive secretary, organized the trip. The chairman was Dick Wink, Dallas Tex., senior.
Adults making the trip included Dr. Ray Hopponen, assistant professor of pharmacy, and Mrs. Hopponen; Dr. Seymour Menton, assistant professor of Romance languages, and Katherine Taylor, executive secretary of the YWCA.

Rifle Teams' Standing Shown By Elephant
The head or tail of an elephant tells members of Able or Baker AFROTC rifle teams which squad is ahead in the KU Shoulder League, made up of four rifle teams from the three military services.
If the team is ahead, a small elephant's head, mounted on a plaque, hangs below the team's name on the rifle range. If the team is in second place, the tail of the elephant will be there.
Each team is composed of 10 men. Besides firing against teams in the Shoulder League and at other schools, the two AFROTC teams compete against each other, and the elephant comes in here.
Names Are Phonetic
One team is no more "table" than the other; the names simply stand for the letters "A" and "B" and are derived from the phonetic alphabet.
For anyone who hasn't tried it, holding a 12-pound, Winchester 52 rifle steady isn't easy. Hitting a bullseye the size of a pencil eraser from 50 feet away takes skill and hours of practice.
Victories this season include Wichita and Kansas State in "shoulder to shoulder" matches, and Georgetown, North Texas State, and Brooklyn College in postal matches. In a national competition at Ohio State, the team took second place.
The top five men from the two AFROTC teams participate in "shoulder to shoulder" matches with other teams, and "postal meets," in which each team plays at its own home team of postal matches are tabulated by mail.
Numerous safety measures are enforced. They include wearing reinforced jackets and gloves and a pulley system places and holds targets so that no one need enter the target area.
Safety Measures Taken
The spring semester promises to be a busy one for the AFROTC team. Firing for the Fifth Army ROTC postal match begins in February, followed by a match at Boonville, Mo., or El Paso, Tex., in March. That same month, the Inter-Collegiate Rifle Match will be held. For April, the Secretary of the Air Force postal match, and the State Championship are scheduled.
