Volleyball Club Forms To Generate Interest
A new addition this year to KU's ever growing list of organizations is the KU Volleyball club.
Formed with the idea of building up interest in an obscure sport at KU, the club plans to organize in the Amateur Athletic Union and play in tournaments around the country, according to Dave Burckhalter, Ann Arbor, Mich., senior and treasurer of the club.
"WE HAVE TRIED to get the best volleyball players from the various living groups at KU to
join the club and so far we have 21 members." Burckhalter said.

Aside from creating an interest in volleyball at KU, the club's long range plan is to go to the AAU national championship volleyball tournament in East Lansing, Mich., in May. Already scheduled for the club is a trip to Denver, Colo., during semester break to play in a tournament with similar clubs from colleges throughout the country.
"Right now we are just getting started, but who knows, maybe in a few years KU might have volleyball as a regular intercollegiate sport as do many schools in the far West." Burckhalter said.
Sweatman Wins
KU Wrestlers Fall
KU's wrestling team suffered a decisive 26-3 defeat at the hands of Northwest Missouri State Thursday night in Allen Field House.
The only bright spot for the Jayhawks was Mike Sweatman. Sweatman wrestled in the heavyweight division winning KU's only match.
Coach Gary Duff said he was disappointed in the showing of his team, even though Northwest Missouri State is one of the best small college teams in the nation
"WE HOPE THIS season will be the start of a winning tradition at KU but so far we have failed in this attempt," Duff said. "These boys have what it takes to make a winning team."
Results in weight divisions were Harvel Hallum, NMS, over Fort Zackary, KU, 123 lbs., 3-0; Jerry Mason, NMS, over Andy Warnock, KU, 130 lbs., 3-0; Chuck Wilson, NMS, over Robin Savio, KU, 137 lbs., a pin, 5-0; Gary Grimes, NMS, over Marc Ryan, KU, 145 lbs., 3-0.
