K-State canoe captures Kaw cup
Staff Reporter
Once again, in an annual fall ritual,
students from the University of Kansas and
Kansas State University race down the
road. In another occasion, once again, KState leave the paddles of KU
The first, second and third official teams to reach the top of the tournament were Lawrence and John were from K-State. The team from K-State's Haymaker Hall, the leaders best the team KU by team完.
The first KU canoe to finish was Schol Hall, paddled by residents of the KU scholarship halls.
Following the School Hall rowers were another KU team, from Joseph R. Pearson and Michael Berry, who finished the race with the help of a scholarship hall padder, loaned to them after one of their broke according to Marci Eck, Salma junior, and a member of the team.
"It's all due to us that they came in fifth," Fck said.
ALTHOUGH K-STATE officially won the race, the first team to finish was an independent team, the KU Rogues. The Rogues won their fifth KU-KState cane race by arriving at Burcham Park at 4 p.m. an hour before the next canoe arrived.
The second team, a K State independent team, led its closest competition, the official winner of the race, by 45 minutes.
The independent teams race for fun, memoirs said, because they are eligible to play in the college golf tournament of University Residence Halls and the K-State Association of University Residence Houses.
"The main incentive is beating K-State again," Slade Putnam, Leawood junior and a member of the Rogues, said.
Thirty-two of the 46 teams who started finished the 110 mile race, which began at 8 a.m. Saturday. Leaving Manhattan, the teams paddled the canoes toward St. Marys where they camped for the night. Leaving Lawrence, the teams traveled to Lawrence on Sunday.

The canoe, owned by Steve Hitchcock,
Russell junior, a member of the Scaldair
team, was valued at $150. Hitchcock,
said, he expected to get the canoe back.
THE RACE, which has been an annual event since 1969, was not without problems, according to race officials and paddlers. One KU team lost a cause when it was stolen

Several teams also were left up the river without paddles. Myers said; a total of 20 naddles were lost in the water.

The annual trek down the Kansas River has been won by KU only once, in 1975.
Voyager data aid weathermen
By TED LICKTEIG Staff Reporter
Data gathered from the atmospheres of distant planets by the Voyager probes might aid meteorologists to predict weather patterns on earth.
Tom Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy, said he was working with a team of investigators to analyze information received from the Voyager I and II probes that might help teach us more about the earth's weather patterns.
that will determine the investigation team's final analysis.
Armstrong said information received from the probes about radiation and atomic particles in the atmospheres of other planets was being recorded on magnetites in Malcolm Hall. He said of the information was from Jupiter.
Low-energy charge particles are interparticle magnetic fields. The particles eventually affect the shape of the magnetic field, which in turn affects the particle's velocity.
Results of the information received from the probes, he said, will be used in a low-energy charge particle experiment
MAGNETIC FIELDS affect the weather by influencing the amount of radiation that comes into contact with the upper atmosphere.
Armstrong said the investigation team would report the results of the experiment to NASA and Space Administration's headquarters in Houston and to various
He said the cost of the team's project, which began in 1972 and is being funded by NASA, was $3 million.
The particle experiment, he said, was a method of obtaining knowledge about
the earth through the study of other planets.
"When you look at a planetary atmosphere and test theories for atmospheres and circulation, you can see that the conditions we predictions of weather by building a theory accurate enough to encompass the outer planets and the earth." Armstrong
"THERE IS practical value in the information received about the structure of the earth, its atmosphere, evolution, geography, climate and the origin of its magnetic field."
Armstrong said forecasters would be more confident of their predictions in a few years, when the investigating team's findings are completed.
Armstrong said the team's report would be issued sometime after the Voyager probes had reached Saturn in late 1980 and early 1981.

at why Sonic speakers handle power. Heat-dissipating aluminum voice coils help maintain dimensional stability. The high temperature coils, used in all Sonic systems, hold together under severe input. That's why Sonic uses only quality drivers. The improved efficiency does make the difference.
