On Ryun's 880
Dean requests action
Two national track powers continue to play a game of tug of war—and KU's Jim Ryun is in the middle.
Ryun's legitimate but controversial 880 record of 1:44.9 set at the National USTFF meet last summer has been under discussion since that time by the warring AAU and USTFF bodies. It was ratified as an American standard but not as a world mark.
"The AAU accepted the record at its annual meeting last December," USTFF director Chic Werner said, "and presumably forwarded it along to the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) for final acceptance."
But it was not okayed by the IAAF, possibly not submitted by the AAU. As a result, KU's dean
"On behalf of the University of Kansas, its faculty, students and friends, and particularly for James Ryan one of our athletes who established a new record time in the half mile run. I ask your help in overcoming what appears to be a misuse of power by the Amateur Athletic Union in blocking official approval of Ryun's superlative and legitimate achievement.
of students, Laurence Woodruff sent the following letter to the President of the United States Track and Field Federation (US-TFF), Reverend Wilfred H. Crowey S.J.
Kansas and the Big Eight Conference submitted to the Sports Arbitration Board that the AAU action constitutes a clear violation of the U.S. Senate moratorium on sanctioning of track events.
"As Faculty Representative for the University of Kansas to the NCAA and the Big Eight Conference and with the full approval of Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, who this week has written Vice-President Humphrey and Mr. Theodore Kheel regarding this matter, I request that you bring this problem before the Sports Arbitration Board at its meeting on May 1. 1967."
Signed, Laurence C. Woodruff.

Two 4-way golf matches this weekend
KU golfers will host linksters from Kansas State, Missouri, and Nebraska this afternoon in a quadrangular match at the Lawrence Country Club.
Tomorrow the scene shifts to Manhattan, where the same four schools will compete at the Manhattan Country Club.
Kansas State and Nebraska will be the favorites in the two-day quadrangular.
NEBRASKA, fresh from victories over conference champion Oklahoma State and Oklahoma on successive weekends, remains undefeated in Big Eight play. Kansas State's hopes ride on the performance of Ron Schmedemann. The Wildcat ace has been shooting in the high 60's and low 70's all spring.
Coach John Hanna's KU crew will be participating in their seventh match of the season. The Jayhawk golf quintet for the weekend will probably be composed of Bill Hess, Kansas City sophomore; Jack Clevenger, Topeka junior; Charles Pfeffer, Wichita sophomore; Bob Wells, Hutchinson junior; and Bill Southern, Ellenwood senior.

KU's flying club readies for meet
Diagonal to Holiday Inn
Members of the KU Aerohawk Flying Club will be dropping flour sack "bombs" on targets, making precision spot landings without engine power, and participating in navigation contests at an air meet of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association May 11-13.
Six KU students and Bill Reuland, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, will fly two private planes to the meet in Carbondale, Ill., said Jack Chapman, president of the Aerohawk club. Approximately 15 other collegiate flying clubs are expected to attend.
The Aerohawk Flying Club was organized in the spring of 1965 and now has 25 members. One purpose of the club, Chapman said, is to enable KU students and faculty to earn pilot's and commercial licenses at a minimum of expense.
RENTAL OF A PRIVATE airplane costs about $16 an hour or $21 per hour with an instructor, Chapman explained, and the KU club pays half that amount. Although a private license costs about $550. Aerohawk members pay about $450.
The club rents a four-seat Cessna 172.
Several members are working to earn private ratings.
Some who hold private pilot's licenses are earning commercial ratings, which allow a pilot to accept pay for his flying.
The club president said the 125 mile per hour planes which the club rents are so safe in the air, even with the engine shut off, that Aerohawk members carry no parachutes and are offered no jump training.
Aqua maids to sponsor meet here
Competition is expected to be fierce Saturday though times may be slower than most of those posted in New Robinson pool during the last swim season.
No criticism of ability is intended, though, as competitors will be members of KU's women's PE department and mermails from other schools in Kansas. Starting time for the KU invitational is 1 p.m.
The events scheduled for this first-ever invitational are those regularly contested: breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle, diving and medley and freestyle relays.
A team champion will be determined in what is expected to turn into an annual affair.
