Unicycling Easy Says KU Frosh
A Wichita freshman predicts almost anyone can learn to ride a unicycle, a one-legged bicycle, in a week.
The Wichitan, Max Miller, is so confident he's teaching his fraternity brothers, Alpha KappaLambda men.
A unicycle has just one wheel to worry about, instead of two, and to make it even easier to ride, it has no handle bars, fenders, New Departure gears, shifts or brakes, Miller ventures.
Safer Than Bicycle
Another advantage over the crude and dangerous 2-wheel bicycle is the safety factor.
All one does is get on, and the vehicle practically runs itself, he says
"You really don't fall down very often when you're learning, but that's not to say the wheel doesn't go out from under you," he said.
"Some people just happen to have a natural talent for unicycle riding," Miller said. "We have a fellow here who learned in two or three days." He was referring to Marion Hawk, Kansas City, Kan, sophomore.
How did they learn?
How did they learn?
"I learned at home." Miller said
"We had two posts; I would sit on the unicycle between them for balance and then take off. It took me about a week."
"Marion learned to stay on by putting his arms on the shoulders of two friends." Miller said.
Miller became interested in unicycling in junior high school. He and a cousin took their bikes
to a machine shop to have unicycles made. Miller's unicycle is about $3/2$ feet high with a 26-inch bicycle wheel. He also has a second unicycle, about four feet, and with a chain drive.
He and three others made the Wichita High School East tumbling team through their unicycle skills. They gave some half-time exhibitions at basketball games.
He's working on some stunts like riding backwards and rocking back and forth.
With all its desirable qualities, the unicycle isn't recommended for highway travel.
"You have to put out more energy than in walking to cover the same ground," Miller said.
The Inter-fraternity Pledge Council will hold its organization meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Pine Room of the Student Union.
IFPC To Hear New Program
Lance Johnson, Wymore, Neb, sophomore, will represent the council. He was president of the IFPC last year.
Johnson said he will outline the year's program to the members of the council.
After the members of the council get acquainted, three committees, social, steering and public relations will be formed, Johnson said.
Raise Your Grade Average For A Trip To Oregon
Students who bring up their grade point average will be eligible for the Scholarship Improvement Award being offered for the second year by the Acme Batchelor Laundry and Dry Cleaners and the Lawrence Sanitary Milk, and Ice Cream Co. Plans call for a week-vacation in Oregon or a cash prize to be offered to the person who can best improve his grade point average.
University Daily Kansan
James W. Moore, Lawrence sophomore, was the winner last semester. He brought his grade point average up from -6 to 2.6. Moore accepted the cash prize instead of the vacation and said he would use the money to go to school.
Owen Edgar, of the Acme Bachelor Laundry and Dry Cleaners, said the vacation trip offers plenty of fishing and a three-day stay at a cabin at the foot of Mt. Hood.
Last year $150 was the alternate prize offered the winner. This year the student who places second will receive half of the cash offered.
Graduate Club Plans To 'Jitterbug'
All interested students should see their scholarship chairman or the office of aids and awards. Last year 70 students applied for the award.
A class in "jitterbug" will be conducted for Graduate Club members at 8 p.m. Sunday, in the Student Union.
New officers are Collen Lane, Tecumseh, Okla., president; Harbans Lal, New Delhi, India, vice president; Tommy Crow, Adel, Ga., secretary-treasurer, and John Hotz, Tescott, program chairman.
