Safe 'gymkhana' planned for Saturday
Safety and fairness will be the watchwords in this year's Spring Fling gymkhana Saturday in the Lewis hall parking lot.
Robert Entriken, San Francisco, Calif., senior and organizer of the gymkhana, said several changes have been made to make the event safer and fairer for all entrants. Seatbelts will be required this year; and once the driver is in his car, he will stay there until he finishes the course, Entriken said.
In past years, the course required entrants to jump out and open gates, pick up balloons, and do other things as part of the race.
"OBSTACLES WILL be placed near dangerous corners to slow contestants down," said Entriken. "For example, just before the first turn the drivers will have to zigzag through a three-pylon slalom, for which they will have to cut their speed."
In front of another corner, he said, two rows of plastic cones will be placed in an "S" shape through which entrants must drive. Points will be taken off for knocking over the cones to insure that drivers slow to make the turn.
All entrants will be furnished a safety helmet and their cars will receive a safety inspection prior to the competition. So that contestants will know the route beforehand, each will get a trial run before the two timed runs.
"BEFORE, they ran it once and that was it." Entriken said.
To make the competition more equal, this year's gymkhana will feature seven classes instead of two. The classes will range from small sedans and foreign cars up through the faster imports and American cars to "Detroit iron." In each class a trophy will be
A winning time of 2:06 was posted by the Alpha Gamma Delta racing team in the "Phi Psi 500" as they took first place for the third straight year, Saturday in the N zone parking lot.
The trophy now is retired permanently to the Alpha Gam house.
Sally Wilcox, Kappa Kappa Gamma, was crowned queen of the event. Laura Kitchen, Delta Delta Delta, Mary Lynne Smart,
awarded for every five entrants.
A "top time of the day" trophy will be given to the entrant with the best time and a "best lady's" trophy to the woman with the fastest time, Entriken said.
ANY KU STUDENT may enter the open competition. For residence hall entrants there will be an additional event, the gymkhana organizer said. Each dorm resident in the open competition will automatically be considered part of his dorm's "team." The best four from each hall will become the finalists for that hall and the best team of finalists will win a trophy.

Chi Omega, and Jennifer Kost, Pi Beta Phi, were her attendants.
THE FINALISTS were determined by choosing the top four times of five heats. The race consisted of contestants wheeling their tricycles around barrels, over teeter-totter into water, through mud and a maze of swinging eggs.
Alpha Gamma Delta finished first, Gamma Phi Beta, second, Oliver Hall, third, and Kappa Kappa Gamma fourth.

And the engine is air-cooled, so you don't have to spend a red cent for anti-freeze or rust inhibitors. And you get more than your money's worth out of a set of tires (around 40,000 miles).
