an 1866 KU finally has a pool Continued from page 2 Continued from page 2 nation's colleges and universities do not require physical education. Though the KU gymnasium is the newest and best-equipped in the Big Eight, Shenk finds it difficult to compare the facilities with other conference schools. "OUR GYM takes care of both men and women." Shenk says. "Other schools have separate facilities. Colorado State has a new $312 to $4 million gymnasium; however, women facilities are not included. A sign attached to the wall marks the spot into the natatorium and welcomes the visitor to the "Blue Ocean." There are no obstructions in the swimming pool area giving a complete view of the natatorium. All supports in the natatorium were eliminated by pre-casting and pre-stressing concrete structural roof support units. The overhead T-shaped fluorescent lights brighten the entire swimming area. There are three additional mercury vapor spot lamps on the walls to provide more lighting when necessary. A NON-SKID ceramic tile surface surrounds the T-shaped swimming pool. Running east to west, the principal swimming area, standard distance for NCAA sanctioned meets, measures 75 by 45 feet. For AAU meets, the north to south area measures 25 meters by 42 feet. Both areas have six eight-foot wide swimming lanes. There are two one-meter diving boards and one three-meter board equipped with 16-foot duraflex diving boards. AN ALLIGATOR THIS LONG!! HONEST!!! "This 14-foot deep diving area can't compare with the one in old Robinson" says swimming coach Dick Keason. "Now the divers can dive without fear of hitting beams," Reamon says, referring to beams that hovered over the diving area in old Robinson. "The other beams were so close that a diver could put his foot and hand prints on the beam. One diver had a cap put on his tooth after hitting the bottom in the old pool," Reamon says. THE SENIOR CLASS of 66 has voted to provide funds for a large ceramic tile Jayhawker for the south natatorium wall. The orange-colored bleachers, separated from the pool area, seat approximately 700 fans. What is probably the most interesting natatorium feature—but not available for the public use—is the 5- by 2-foot underwater observation window. "This observation window will be used primarily for filming and instructional use of our varsity and freshman swimmers," Reaon says. There is underwater lighting on all sides of the pool, and an underwater sound system geared to 12 different speaking combinations. People can be paged in the locker room, gym or on a separate line. "During meets the clerk of the course will be able to call off names in different parts of the auditorium without people in the stands hearing," Reamon explains. The sound system can also be used to pipe music to girls' water ballet and synchronized swimming. FILM ON U.S. PILOT MOSCOW — (UPI) The Russians are making a film about an American pilot allegedly overcome by feelings of guilt after flying the plane that dropped an A-bomb on Hiroshima during World War II, a newspaper said today. In the words of its editor, William Knief, Mission junior, the Cottonwood Review is made up of material "from anywhere, about anything, and in any form imaginable . . . in order to provide an outlet for creative talent." Local freelance talent published The Review, which comes out "when we feel we have enough good material and not before," is published by KU students. An interview with the controversial poet, Allen Ginsberg, was featured in the most recent issue. It was obtained while Ginsberg was on campus last year and taped by Knief during "sort of a welcoming party for the author where he talked over guitar strings and people's voices." The Review annually sponsors a prose and a poetry contest. Last year's winner, a three-act play entitled "Liberation" made up the bulk of the current issue. "Liberation" is a spoof on the social responsibilities expected of one young man by his family, his girlfriend, his government and his school written by D. C. Peck, Woodcliff Lake, N.J., senior.
