Swim duo to NCAA meet
By Ron Hanson
KU swimmers, Don Pennington and Hugh Miner, have been selected as the Jayhawk entries in the 43rd annual NCAA Championship Swimming and Diving Meet being held today and tomorrow at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The meet, which began yesterday with preliminaries, includes 311 swimmers from 58 NCAA member schools in the nation. Indiana University, with three Olympic swimmers, is strongly favored to win the meet. The University of Southern California
won it last year with Olympian and all-American Roy Saari breaking three records.
IN THE EVENTS today, Pennington, a junior from Shawnee Mission, will be entered in the 1,650 yard freestyle and the 500 yard freestyle, while Miner, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore, will swim in the 100 yard freestyle.
Both Pennington and Miner have set Big Eight records in these events this year; Miner broke the 100 yard freestyle record by 1.1 seconds with a time of 55.1 and Pennington set the mark
in the 1,650 with 17:21 and the 500 with 4:56.6.

Head KU swimming coach Dick Reamon said, "I certainly believe that if Don and Hugh swim to their potential, they should score in the NCAA."

The NCAA Championship meet will be the KU swimmers' last in what has been a successful season.
This year the Jayhawks had a 6-4 record and finished in second place behind Oklahoma in the Big Eight Championships.
Reamon said this has been the most successful swimming season in KU's history and he expects even greater things next year as the freshmen and underclassmen have fared particularly well this season.
Head Coach Jack Mitchell announced last Tuesday that his University of Kansas football team would start spring drills on Monday, April 11. The Jayhawks will complete pre-season practice sessions on Saturday, May 14.

Even the bottom of a Volkswagen looks funny.
We are speaking to you from underneath a Volkswagen.
Not much to look at, is there?
Too bad that big sheet of steel is in the way. Otherwise, you could see all of the Volkswagen's works.
But don't feel cheated.
That sheet of steel is the Volkswagen's bottom. No other car has anything quite like it.
The steel bottom protects the VW's vital parts against everything. Including time. It's one of the big reasons why VWs last so long.
The VW's bottom wasn't an afterthought. It's part of the design. The car is sealed to the bottom and the bottom is sealed to the car.
Which is why a VW is practically airtight. And why some of the rumors you've heard about floating Volkswagens aren't just rumors.
The VW's funny-looking top and funny-looking bottom have one thing in common: they both work to make the Volkswagen as good as it is.
It would be easy enough to change them.
But we think we'll leave bad enough alone.
