300 students walk walls
By AMY HOLLOWELL
Staff Reporter
Stories have been told of college students defying the laws of nature by consuming record quantities of pizza and beer, or by going sleepless night after night during nightfall.
But the KU students who walked down the north wall of the Military Science building yesterday were not a part of such a tale.
Nearly 200 students rappelled off the 36-horse pony yesterday under the supervision of the Army's helicopter coordinator, Capt. Jack Clingman, as many as 1,200 more could make the descent before they arrived.
The three days of rappelling sponsored by the ROTC are open to anyone in the University, Chlminger said. The adventure is a ceremonial jumik for the ROTC, he added.
"We have a dual purpose in doing the rappelling out here," he said. "First, it gives people a chance to do something
different. At the same time, it gives us a chance to talk to people about our organization."
WITH THE HELP of between 12 and 20 cadets and six regular cadres, Cloninger has supervised the rappelling for four years. He said no one had been injured.
"It doesn't require super human strength and the only qualification is that you wear shoes." he said.
Rappelling involves climbing down a steep vertical surface with the aid of two ropes and two persons who hold opposite sides of a horizontal ground and on one the roof or too of the incline.
The first step is the construction of the "rappel" or "Swiss seat" in which the rappel is placed on the back of the rapper. participants how to tie the series of knots and checked the finished product while on

received his final instructions from Cloninger.
Most of those who decided to raped yesterday had never done it before, but for various reasons could not pass up the opportunity.
"I've always wanted to try it," Craig Phillips, Toreka freshman, said after he finished the first of his two trips down the wall.
Jef Stull, Overland Park junior, decided to attempt the descent because everybody else was doing it. After mastering the turn, he jumped on the rooftop and let the car forced off a hot rack or chiff.

"For the beginner, this is frightening," she said. "But the sensation of running down the wall face first, the Australian way is unreal."
Natural Guard to plant wheat at Wolf Creek
Members of the Kansas Natural Guard will plant wheat Sept. 3 at the site of the Old Creek nuclear power plant in Kearney, where a silent protest against nuclear energy.
"Gov. Carlin knows there is no legitimate need for the Wolf Creek power plant. Slick said. We want to rehabilitate it and restore its beastless when the plant is shut down."
About eight members from Lawrence plan to participate, said Pat Slick, one of the organizers of the event. From 20 to 50 Kansans are expected to attend.
Les Davis of Wichita said planting the wheat was a symbolic announcement of an intent to convert the site back to agricultural use.
The group will take about 30 minutes to plant the wheat, Davis said, and then will leave the site.
The newspaper, which has not been named, will cover minority events on campus as well as various black community events in Lawrence, Williams said yesterday.
"We don't expect any arrests," he said. "If the sheriff says something like, 'You have property,' then the guard members would probably leave and not be

"We've had about 45 people sign up who are interested in working, but we he 'n't made any definite plans yet," Will, ms said.
"Rappelling is a great deal in the military," Chouinger said, "and it is a standard part of our HOTC training to try it. It is a good confidence builder."
According to Sam Adams, faculty adviser to the BICC, the idea of learning a black history month was "a 'flap' that occurred last year when several black students showed disapproval of the curriculum."

he has not had a black student paper for more than a year, when a publication by the Black Student Union was discontinued.
Adams said financial troubles were the only problems facing the newspaper, but emphasized that if students working on the paper had to deal with those difficulties could be overcome.
BICC has an $850 allotment from the Student Senate for the 1980 fiscal year.
The decision on who will print the paper has not been made, Adams said, but an organizational meeting is scheduled tonight to discuss the matter.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the counseling room of the Kansas Union. Any student interested in working for the paper should attend, Williams said.
