Up, up & away for $2 a day

A KU senior who worked as a resort guide last summer believes walking is something to do when one can't ride.
Kent Dannen, St. Joseph, Mo.
was a hike master at the YMCA
camp in Estes Park, Colo., and led 6- to 25-mile hikes up and down the Rocky Mountains.
Long hair, beards or mustaches and alcoholic beverages were forbidden for staff members, as were places which sold alcoholic beverages.
Doctor becomes student; wants to learn, then teach
A doctor has returned to college to further his education, because he wants to try teaching.
Dr. Charles H. Fee is working on his master's in physical anthropology at KU after terminating a 28-year medical practice in Denison, Ia. He is fulfilling a "self-promise" by returning to college.
Teaching physical anthropology at the college level is his main goal. He wants to teach freshmen and sophomores because he believes this is a critical period in
the college student's life, and that many teachers lack an understanding of these student's problems.
Fee, who received his medical degree from the University of Chicago, picked KU because "it has a good department in physical anthropology, it is not near a metropolitan area and it is not too far from our former home."
As for the transition from a doctor's life to a student's life, he said, "I think I have to study a little longer than the rest."

"We started out with confidence that if we could get the people of New Hampshire to listen, they would respond the way they've responded tonight," McCarthy said. "We won't only win in the primaries, we'll pick up large amounts of delegates in nonprimary states."
"The people want to see the man and hear the man and know his position," Nixon said. He said the results must be "disappointing" to Rocketfeller.
Nixon said the unexpectedly heavy vote for McCarthy was caused "not only by the war issue but by all issues" and said McCarthy picked up "anti-Johnson votes of all kinds."
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was leading Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y., by more than a three-to-one margin in the Democratic balloting for vice president. Kennedy was only getting about 1 per cent of the vote
in the presidential poll. Both Humphrey and Kennedy were write-ins.
On the Democratic preferential ballot including write-ins, returns from 283 or 94 per cent of the state's 302 precincts gave:
Johnson 24,769 votes or 48 per cent of the counted votes, McCarthy 21,129 or 41 per cent, Robert F. Kennedy 719 or 1 per cent, third party candidate George Wallace 213 or zero per cent, and others, 4,244 or 8 per cent.
On the Republican preferential ballot including write-ins, returns from 2.1 or 93 per cent of the state's 362 precincts gave:
Nixon 75,989 votes or 79 per cent of the votes counted. Rockefeller 10,731 or 11 per cent. George Romney 1,634 or 2 per cent. Ronald Reagan 372 or zero per cent, Harold Stessen 367 or zero per cent, Wallace 264 or zero per cent, Charles Percy 94 or zero per cent, and others 7,091 or 7 per cent.
The pay was about $2 per day. Having vacationed at the camp eight summers, Dannen knew the area well and was an experienced climber—prerequisites for the job of hike master. Other prerequisites were to know first aid and the natural history of the area and to have leadership abilities in pacing a group.
Dannen said he mostly led inexperienced climbers through the area, showing them the sights. The guides tried to get the beginning hikers in shape by taking them on 6- to 10-mile walks, he said. As the hikers' endurance increased, the distance and difficulty of the hikes did, too, until the hikes became 25 miles up mountains such as Long's Peak, Estes Park's highest mountain at 14,256 feet.
Dannen felt being a hike master was an ideal job because he was paid to vacation at the resort all summer. He plans to work at the camp again next summer, when pay will have more than doubled. The camp hires about 250 college students, he said.
Dannen, an American studies major who plans to attend law school at KU next year, felt his experience helped him because he met a wide variety of people and heard many well-known speakers at the various conferences held at the camp.
