Three KU undergraduates will compete in the National Collegiate Parachuting League meet in Hearne, Tex., the 23rd and 24th of this month.

THE MEET is held annually and is the highlight of collegiate parachuting with over 50 college parachute clubs expected to enter teams. Only undergraduate students in good standing in their respective universities may compete.
All three of the Jayhawk jumpers will enter the individual accuracy competition. This event requires three jumps from an altitude of 1,000 meters. The object of the jump is to land on a six-inch disk located in the center of a 20-foot target.
HEWITT, Edwards and Norton will also enter as a team in a combined accuracy and baton pass event. In addition to being scored on accuracy they are awarded points for each successful baton pass completed between themselves during 25 seconds of free fall.
Norton, who holds a license with a "C" rating ("D") is the most advanced degree given) will enter the individual style event.
