Men seek to launch rodeo club
Two KU students are seeking to organize a chapter of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA), and have scheduled an organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the lobby of the Kansas Union.
The immediate goal for Kent Hewett, Fort Scott sophomore, and Normal Stahl, Kansas City, Mo., junior, is competition in Kansas State's rodeo this spring.
Stahl said that 15 people are needed to establish a KU chapter of the rodeo organization.
"We already have about six who are interested in this," Stahl said, "including Jan Vandeventer, a KU coed who placed in the barrel racing event of last year's K. State rodeo. We need men for the bareback and bull-roping contests and women for barrel racing."
A KU rodeo team would compete with other collegiate teams from Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Missouri.
Hewett and Stahl have invited all interested persons to attend the Tuesday night meeting.

AN EXAMINATION for entrance into the Corps, given roughly once a month, will be administered Feb. 18 at 8:30 a.m. in the Civil Service Room of the Lawrence post office.
LONDON —(UPI)— When he retired from the sea, navy Captain Godfrey Cooke continued to keep a log—on his wife. His logged record of his wife's drinking habits over a 10-year period won him a divorce on the grounds of her drunkenness. The judge in granting the decree nevertheless told the captain "you might better have tried to help her than just jotting down her shortcomings."
According to Barbara Richards, Hays graduate student who served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica from 1962 to 1964, the exam lasts about three hours and covers nearly everything: American history, civics, ability to learn foreign languages, science, and many other areas.
"Even if you flunk parts of the test it doesn't mean you're not Peace Corps material," she said. "It's kind of like a placement exam. The test isn't all that counts because they take into consideration all your experience and education, too."
Special training for Peace Corps work takes place in various colleges and universities across the country. KU is the training center for volunteers going to Costa Rica.
The Costa Rican training, according to Miss Richards, takes about three months to complete. All such programs, she said, involve sunrise-to-sunset training in the language, history, and rigorous physical training to get him in shape.
