They Scale Stadium To Keep in Practice
By Rich Lovett and Howard Pankratz
Don't be alarmed. The students climbing the outside wall of Memorial Stadium are not psychotic, and they are not trying to sneak in while the gates are locked. They are sane, normal members of the KU Mountaineering Club brushing up on climbing techniques.
The Mountaineering Club has about 40 active members, including three girls. Disbanded in 1958 because of lack of interest, it was revived this year, mainly through the efforts of Bob Taylor, La Jolla, Calif., junior, the new club's treasurer.
PRESIDENT of the group is Al Gipson, Kansas City, Mo., junior. Soon Gipson, Taylor, and the other club members will be conducting a membership drive.
The 1965 club was given a boost by the transfer of approximately $150 from the old club and has $235 in its treasury.
"Tentative plans call for a field trip to Estes Uark, Colo., during Easter," says Taylor. "The old club has been to the Teton Mountains and into Colorado before, too."
The club also plans a trip to Table Rock Lake and Roaring River State Park in Missouri over semester break. According to John Lewis, Prairie Village sophomore and club equipment chairman, the club goes about every three weeks to a quarry about 20 miles from Lawrence on Highway 10 near the Sunflower Ordnance Plant, where they practice climbing 70-foot cliffs.

THE QUARRY has four different training routes: there is a 70 foot rappell, two direct-aid routes, and one 70 foot "permanent" route with footholds. Members bring sack lunches for the Sunday practice. Memorial Stadium is used for rappell practice. KU officials have given permission for this activity.
The group will travel to the Flat Iron Mountain Range near Boulder, Colo., at Easter break.
Taylor would tell you, "Most of us really don't know why we climb mountains. 'Because they're there' really isn't a very good answer, but we couldn't give you one much better. Yet, it's dangerous, but it's a calculated risk. Anyway, the worst accident in the history of the club was only a broken arm."

Correspondence Study Offered
By Joyce Grist
The correspondence study division of KU's University Extension has just published its new catalogue dated 1966-'67. All full time faculty members will receive a copy of the catalogue, Oliver Phillips, correspondence study director, said. Interested students can obtain a copy from the University Extension office.
Correspondence study provides individual directed study in high school, college, and adult continuing education courses. Anyone able to do the required work may enroll in the correspondence study program.
TO RECEIVE HIGH SCHOOL or college credit, a student must meet regular requirements and prerequisites for the course in which he is enrolling and of the school in which he desires credit. The correspondence study division decides admission on a non-credit basis individually.
The correspondence study bureau does not itself give credit for the courses it offers.
The bureau does not give any degrees or diplomas, nor does it certify primary or secondary teachers.
The State Board of Regents determines the enrollment fee schedule for correspondence study. Residents of Kansas pay $10 a semester hour for college courses and non-residents pay $12 a semester hour for college courses. High school courses are $15 a half unit for residents and $17 a half unit for non-residents.
STUDENTS ENROLLED in correspondence study may take a maximum of 18 months to complete a correspondence course. At the end of 18 months, the enrollment is terminated whether or not the student has completed the course. A maximum of five lessons may be submitted in a week.
Three-hour college courses have a total of 24 assignments. Two-hour courses have a total of 16 assignments.
To pass a course for credit, the student must pass the final examination. Some courses also require the student to pass a mid-course examination. Students enrolled on a non-credit basis need not take a final examination.
College correspondence study courses are offered in anthropology, art history, astronomy, botany, business administration, comparative biochemistry and physiology, economics, education, and engineering.
English, French, Italian, geography, geology, German, history, human development and family life, journalism, Latin, mathematics, music, philosophy, physical education, political science, psychology, religion, Slavic languages and literatures, sociology, and Spanish and Portuguese.
Ford Motor Company is:
inspiration
Jim Weston B.A., Washington Univ. M.B.A., Washington Univ.
College graduates, new to Ford Motor Company, often comment on the comparative youth of many of our top executives. The example of these men in key positions is evidence that being young is no handicap at Ford to those who possess ability and ambition. In fact, new employees can expect challenging assignments while still participating in our College Graduate Program. This means an opportunity to demonstrate special skills and initiative while still learning the practical, day-to-day aspects of the business. Consider the experience of Jim Weston, who has been with Ford Motor Company for three years.
Jim came to Ford in February, 1963. His first assignment was in marketing analysis where his principal job was evaluating present and potential dealer locations. For a time, he also gained experience in the actual purchasing of dealer locations. Later, an assignment forecasting sales and market potential with Ford Division's Truck Sales Programming Department gave him the background he needed to qualify for his present position. His job today? Only three years out of college, Jim is now a senior financial analyst in Ford Division's Business Management Department.
Jim Weston's experience is not unusual. At Ford Motor Company, your twenties can be challenging and rewarding years. Like to learn more about it? Talk to our representative when he visits your campus.
