Robinson pool washes away cares
Praised as one of the outstanding swimming facilities in the United States, the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium and Natatorium presents a form of recreation that is both entertaining and invigorating.
The T-shaped pool has a main swimming area which is 75 feet long and 45 feet wide. Six lanes available in either direction provide adequate space for the competition swimmer or for the person who swims for fun and likes to imagine himself competing.
The entire pool area is surfaced with ceramic tile. Two one-meter diving boards and one three-meter board are available.
Special features of the pool include underwater lightning, underwater sound, and an underwater observation window.
Students can use the swimming pool from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Members of the faculty, staff and their immediate families can enjoy the swimming facilities during the faculty-swim hours from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Besides the swimming facilities, Robinson Gym houses basketball, volleyball, badminton and handball courts.
Wichita offered for inauguration
TOPEKA (UPI)—Representatives of Gov. Robert B. Docking will fly to Wichita Friday morning to tour facilities which have been offered for the governor's inauguration Jan. 13.
Patrick Burnau, the governor's press secretary, said they plan to tour the new Civic Center, and discuss the possibility of having the inauguration at Wichita. He said a decision on the site of the ceremony probably would not be made until Saturday or Monday.
The governor's inauguration is traditionally held in Topeka at the Municipal Auditorium, but on Jan. 13, the date of the ceremony, the state convention of the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) is scheduled in the auditorium.
The local Chamber of Commerce reached an agreement with the association yesterday to free the facility for state use Jan. 13.
Tom Schwartz, president of the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, said the KASB has agreed to have its business sessions that day in a movie theater across the street from the auditorium, and go to the Mid-America Fairgrounds exhibition hall for a dinner that night.
The governor's representatives are looking elsewhere for a site because most of the hotel and motel rooms in the capital city have been reserved by the KASB. Several thousand persons usually attend the inauguration and the ball, many from out of town.
Intramural and intercollegiate programs have been organized in all of these sports as well as some outdoor sports such as tennis and softball.
Progams for most intramural sports this semester are already filled, however, said Miss Delores Copeland, instructor of physical education.
In the spring besides the usual men's and women's intramurals,
a co-ed volleyball and softball program is also conducted, she said.
Women's intercollegiate basketball team tryouts will begin Dec. 3, Miss Copeland said.
Miss Copeland encouraged women to try out for these teams and said, too often women think they're not good enough for intercollegiate competition, but don't realize that we give instruction.
Students clash with police second time in one month
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—Hundreds of jeering students clashed with police Thursday in an attempt to shut down strike-orn San Francisco State College for the second time this month.
Several students were seized by police squads during a short-lived melee.
Three policemen were injured, including a campus guard. No injuries were reported among the demonstrators.
Big Eight selects 'Queen of Queens' at OU-NU game
Susan Wassenburg, Topека junior and KU's 1968 Homecoming Queen will be participating in the "Queen of Queens" contest this weekend at the Okla home-Nebraska football game in Norman, Okla.
For the second year, the Big Eight is bringing to one of its season games the homecoming queens from all of its eight members. From this "Queens' Weekend," the Conference representative to reign over the Centennial Year of Collegiate Football next season will be chosen.
The winner of the contest will be the guest of collegiate football's "Wild Card" television game. There she will compete against representatives from 10 major collegiate athletic conferences. The queen of collegiate football will be chosen from three coeds.
Artichoke Progress
DAVIS, Calif. (UPI) — The artichoke season is being extended by 10 to 50 days through the use of a natural plant-growth hormone discovered in University of California agricultural research.
The hormone, known as gibberellin, makes the artichokes grow faster and bud earlier, thus extending the harvest from late fall through spring. The longer season can be expected to bring about a more uniform supply-price relationship, benefiting both consumers and producers.
It was the fourth clash between students and police this fall. The school reopened Wednesday under police guard after being closed for several days because of sporadic violence.
The uproar began with a march on campus buildings from a noon rally attended by nearly 1,500 of the campus's 18,000 students. About 500 persons participated in the march as administrators summoned police.
Within 45 minutes the demonstration was put down and uniformed officers departed. An hour later, however, militants again attempted to disrupt classes.
The noon rally was called after talks collapsed between President Robert R. Smith and representatives of militant groups, including the Black Student Union (BSU) and the Third World Liberation Front, an organization of non-white minorities.
"We have no alternative except to make it impossible for this school to function," declared Roger Alvarado of the Third World at the rally. As the march began, the students chanted, "On strike, shut it down."
Within minutes, the crowd on the college commons swelled to more than 2,500. A group of about 30 climbed to the top of the main administration building as "observers" but were later removed by police.
Similar demonstrations, plus scores of fires and small bomb blasts, led Smith to close the campus Nov. 13, seven days after the BSU and Third World went on strike to support a series of demands. One involved reinstatement of George Murray, a Black Panther suspended as a part-time English instructor for urging students to carry guns on campus to defend themselves against "racist administrators."
