HE WHEELS AND SQUEALS—This MG-TD leans into one of the turns in the Jayhawk Sports Car Club gymkhana in the parking lots north of Allen Field House. The driver and navigator are unidentified former students from Topeka. Most of the cars are owned and driven by
students but this car was one of several entered by nonstudents from all over eastern Kansas. Contestants had to demonstrate ability to handle their cars as well as speed. The club's next event is a spook rally Nov. 2.
KU Sports Cars Perform Sunday
Driving a borrowed Porsche sports car, Art Bunker, professional racing driver from Kansas City, Mo., won the gymkhana held Sunday by the Jayhawk Sports Car Club.
Bunker, an honorary member of the club, has been racing since 1953 and last year drove in the Sebring race in Florida.
Twenty-six cars participated in the event. They drove over a timed course setup in the parking lot north of Allen Field House.
The contestant illustrated his ability to make sharp turns, weave in and out of a row of markers, and back up to a preset marker.
Each driver had a navigator who performed certain duties. These duties ranged from checking the oil to running about 50 yards carrying the spare tire.
Second place went to Mark Wolfson, Lawrence freshman. He drove an MG-TD, Jim Green, driving a Renault, won third place.
The event drew more than a hundred spectators.
Most of the 26 cars entered were of foreign make.
A costume spook rally on Nov. 2, will be the next event sponsored by the club. In this rally the costume combination of the driver and navigator will be judged in addition to their driving skill.

Students Play In Bands For Money And Fun
Combining business with pleasure describes several KU students who make extra money by playing with a dance band or having a hand of their own.
Had Band in High School
Ted Tidwell, Mission sophomore, is an oldtimer in the band business after having his own group at Shawnee Mission High School.
Tidwell's band plays for organized house parties on the campus as well as high school dances and other parties in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas.
Music Arrangements Expensive
"Our biggest overhead in the band business is the buying and arrangement of music," Tidwell said. "Sometimes someone in the band can do
$12 per man. It is a local custom that the leader earns twice as much as the "side men" or persons playing in the band. Most of the local band members belong to local 512 of the American Federation of Musicians, he said.
College bands are busiest around Christmas and at spring party time, Tidwell said.
Warren George, Merriam senior, describes the band business as quite profitable. He plays trombone for the Collegians, which now have two bands playing in the area.

"The only other expense is the care of the fronts used by the band when playing," he said. "This is usually a small amount though."
