Joy is falling from the sky
Some people get a thrill playing tiddy-winks, while others find pleasure falling from the sky at 180 miles an hour.
Tom Hewitt, Topeka senior and president of the KU Parachute Club, has plunged toward the earth 48 times in the past year.
thousands of feet than you do falling on the ice," he said. "You can do anything an airplane can do but go up."
Does he get scared? Of course he does.
Although it sounds dangerous, parachuting is not a learn-it-yourself sport. Safety is stressed at every point. A reserve chute, which opens automatically at 1,000 feet if the main chute does not open, is used, and jumps are supervised by experienced personnel.
Hewitt said, "It's so darn high, you lose any fear of height." In fact, he said he would rather slip from a plane at 10,000 feet, than from a step ladder—with a parachute. that is.
Sgt. Richard Hall, USAF, and Sgt. Wayne Vias, USAF, are the jump-masters for the club. Each has had more than 250 jumps.
"YOU ACTUALLY HAVE more control in a parachute falling
THE CLUB IS OPEN to all KU students and faculty, male or female. Parental consent is required for those under 21. Anyone interested bay contact Hewitt or Capt. Merrill Steele, USA, at the Military Science building.
Spectators may watch the jumps every weekend when the weather is good at Sky Ranch airport near Topeka.
CAMPUS NOTES
Mexico study plan is viewed
An experimental summer study program in Guadalajara, Mexico, was considered a success by Domingo Ricart, chairman of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
"I am very happy to say KU
students got the reputation of being the only students there who could and did speak Spanish,” Ricart said. “Our students worked hard and always behaved in a dignified manner.”
The program included 29 upper-class and graduate students. Some were assistant instructors. They enrolled at KU in KU courses. Then they were on their own to get to El Paso, Tex.
From there they took a chartered coach to Guadalajara, where they studied under professors of the Universidad Autonima de Guadalajara.
Sixteen hundred other American students were in Guadalajara this summer. Most of them were from Arizona and California.
Ricart and Cleon Capsas, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, sponsored and accompanied the group.
Ricart stressed the fact the program was only experimental this past summer.
