Club honors ex-lettermen
By BRETT CONLEY Staff Reporter
In less than three years, the K-Club, which comprises former athletic letter winners, has become one of the most popular organizations of its kind anywhere.
Kom TViviko, secretary-treasurer of the K-Club, said that KU's club, which was reinstated three years ago, was now larger than organization at other Big Eight schools.
Only the University of Texas has a letterman's club more active than KU's, Klivisto said.
The secret to much of the success, Kivisto said, has been finding past letter winners.
"About 70 percent of addresses we have for former lettermen are wrong." Kiviste said, "So we just ask people who know us and the athlete is in to tell us. We will find them."
According to Otto Schnellbacher, Topeka, who was elected the first K-Club president two years ago, KU has never had a K-Club of alumni members.
SCINELLBACHER SAID that when he lettered in football at KU in 1947 and 1948, the K-Club was a campus organization
made up of active KU athletes. It died out in the early 1950s.
"Some of the things we originally wanted to do with the new organization were to let the old lettermen know they are not forgotten," he said. "We also try to sell the young men and women lettermen on our website and help the University through our club."
Kivisto said that the K-Club gamed a more solid foundation this year when Bob Marcum, KU athletic director, gave the team training and office, where athletic records are kept.
The club now has about 500 members, Kivisto said, which is a 200 percent increase in membership in the past eight months.
"Our membership cost $20 of a year finances the rings presented to the seniors each spring and helps to pay mailing costs." "We provide our membership fee can actually save money for former athletes because they have both season football and basketball tickets.
BOB BILLINGS, who was elected this year's president at the annual K-Year, said the club hoped to make progress in several areas.
"Our main goal will be to begin work on the project for development of a recruiting and K-K club房. "Billings said. "It would be great if we could K-K club and help with recruiting athletes."
"We also want to start fund-raising efforts for the Dean Nesmith scholarship fund, and we want to make a better effort to current athletes find summer jobs."
The two immediate purposes of the club, Billings said, are to support the athletic department and to recognize past achievements of letter winners.
FOR THE FIRST time in its short history, KClub might open membership to women because of the merger of the merger and the awarding of K-letters to women.
"As far as I'm concerned there will be no problem, and they will be welcome as soon as they graduate," Schnellmother said. "I'm forward to work joining the group."
However, Billings said the women letter winners might not want to join the K-Club.
"They may want to start their own organization," Billings said, "because they don't have the tradition the men have, and they may not be invested in it."

THE RIGHT CHOICE
A limited number of graduates will join Alexander Grant & Company this year to begin careers in public accounting, taxes, and construction, among other serious reasons, most having to do with our size.
We're an international firm. Fifty plus years old. Respected by our peers, Profitable, Growing, Dynamic.
But compared to the competition, we're not a huge professional establishment. Our name isn't a household word. We're not what you'd call an institution.
That's appealing to many new graduates—those who see that the size of an organization often is a key to things like responsibility, achievement, and professional satisfaction.
When you're a good firm but smaller than your Big "B" competitors, you select new staff members with extraordinary care, and you expect each one to take hold fast. There's no alternative, because everybody counts—nearly.
Alexander Grant
And that's the kind of working environment that talented, energetic people like. If you are one of them, we'd like to talk with you when our volunteers are on campus or OC TOBER 16TH.
