Computer May Program Dates For Spring Fling
A duckless Spring Fling is in store for KU this year.
Spring Fling will get underway on March 25, and continue through March 27.
The first Friday's activities will focus on a dance starting at 8 p.m. at the National Guard Armory. Although the dance band will be announced later, Hill said it was a nationally known band.
EGG TOSSES, THREE-legged races and other games and races will be at 9 am. at Potter Lake on Saturday, weather permitting.
In case of bad weather, these activities will take place in the Allen Field House.
A picnic will be held at noon
Grants to Finance Teaching, Research
National Science Foundation grants totaling more than $180,000 have been given to KU for the operation of two summer institutes and support of a research project.
Summer institutes in mathematics and radiation biophysics will be offered for teachers.
Participants in the mathematics institute will take courses in probability and linear spaces and will attend lectures on computing. Twenty science teachers will attend the biophysics session.
AN NSF GRANT for $72,380
will finance the summer sessions.
A grant of $110,900 has been given for support of a project entitled "Research and Training in Systematics and Evolutionary Biology."
Principal investigator is Dr. W. William A. Clemens, associate professor of zoology.
on Saturday. Following the picnic the games and races will resume until 4 p.m.
A banquet and the Spring Sing will be Sunday's activities. The time and place of the banquet will be announced at a later date.
THE SPRING SING, sponsored by the Inter-Residence Council, will start at 7:30 p.m. in Murphy Hall. Trophies for the winners of the Spring Fling activities will be awarded at this time. This year, both members of the team will be awarded trophies.
A major change from the past Spring Fling activities is that there will be no duck stealing or duck race. The elimination of this activity is caused by the over-enthusiasm of the Spring Fling participants.
Organizing Spring Fling activities plus maintaining the functioning of the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) are concerns of the group's new president, John H. Hill, Waverly senior.
Hill assumed the presidency when Ron Rardin, Leawood graduate student, resigned from the position in December.
Hill said the race will be substituted by some other type of race or activity.
A different type of activity is being considered for this year's Spring Fling. It is the use of a data computer service. KU men and women would fill out a computer card answering objective questions.

THE COMPUTER will process the cards and then match KU men and women.
"This is a pretty tentative idea, yet it is being considered a Spring Fling possibility." Hill said. "It will be the first time such an activity will be offered at a Spring Fling if the idea is approved."
This activity would take place about a week before the Spring Fling. It would be used primarily for dates to the Saturday noon picnic.
Spearheading the Spring Fling as general chairman is Thayne Coulter, Clyde sophomore. Committee members assisting are:
Hill first started participating in the AURH during his sophomore year when he served as a member from Ellsworth Hall, then a men's residence hall. That same year he served on the Spring Fling committee.
Sandy Nye, Kansas City junior; Scottie McArthur, Kansas City senior; Larry Geiger, Mission senior; and Linda Gurtler, Kansas City junior. Larry Seibel, Russell junior, will be handling Spring Fling publicity.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR KU delegates, the National conference for AURH will be held March 24, 25, and 26. The conference will be held on Southern Illinois University campus in Carbondale, Ill.
Ten AURH delegates will be representing KU at this conference.
He has been a delegate to both regional and national AURH conferences. Presently he is a second vice-chairman to the midwestern regional association.
Before being elected chairman, Hill served as vice-chairman of KU's AURH group.
AURH officer election will be held in May.
Introducing the 2 family car.
The population explosion hasn't caught us sleeping.
We made the Volkswagen Station Wagon big enough to hold about twice as much as a regular station wagon.
So why not two families?
There'd be seats enough (9). And luggage space enough (13 pieces). And enough windows to go around (21).
Also, you'd be able to split fuel bills. (It
averages 23 mpg to begin with).
And you could park our 2 Family Wagon in 4' less space than a1 family wagon.
The problem, naturally, is to find another family with the same tastes in drive-in restaurants and movies, and such.
However,maybe you already have enough people and belongings around your house to fill two wagons.
Then all your problems are solved.
