Top KU Woman Fencer to Compete For Jr. World Title At Budapest
By Susan Flood
Swish-thrust-clank.
The yellow pencil touched the imaginary target and the swift wrist action stopped.
Claudia Reeder, the only woman fencer to be selected to compete in the Junior World Fencing Championship bout in Budapest, Hungary
March 26-30, and a possible '68 Olympics contender, relaxed her stance.
Miss Reeder, Kansas City sophomore, was demonstrating to her Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters the speed and coordination which hard work and expert instruction have achieved.
Lecture Series To Honor Birthday of Shakespeare
Marking this 400th year since the birth of William Shakespeare, the Humanities Lecture Series at the University of Kansas will present a widely-acclaimed Shakespeare scholar, Madeline Doran, professor of English, University of Wisconsin. She will speak on "Shakespeare: Experimental Dramatist" at 8 p.m., March 17, in Fraser Theater. An informal reception by the Faculty Club will follow.
A new shuttle-bus service started will relieve crowded parking on top of Mt. Oread. The free shuttle-bus will run from the new parking lot at Sunflower Road and Sunnyside Avenue (16th Street—south of the power plant) to Fraser Hall. Service will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be resumed for return trips at 9:15 p.m. after the lecture.
DURING HER THREE-DAY visit to KU, Prof. Doran will also speak to classes in English literature, English history, and dramatic theory and criticism. She is the fifth woman
scholar to speak in the Humanities Series, since it was begun in 1947.
She received her college education at San Diego State College, Stanford, and Iowa, and was awarded the Ph.D. at Stanford in 1930. After teaching at Wellesley, she joined the Wisconsin faculty in 1935 and has been professor there since 1952.
She has a fellowship at Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., this spring; she had a grant to Huntington Library in San Marino, Calif., last fall and in 1560. Other fellowships granted her were by Stanford, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the AAUW. She has an honorary doctorate from Wheaton College, Massachusetts.
She has published several monographs and three books about Shakespeare and Elizabethan drama and was editor of three other volumes. Her work in progress is on "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
"The letter from the Amateur Fencer's League is the culmination of my training under the Maitre Fecheux, the former amateur and now professional champion fencer of the Racing Club in Paris," Miss Reeder said.
Miss Reeder perfected her techniques under Pecheux while studying on the KU language institute in Paris last summer.
After enrolling in the half-hour physical education course last spring Miss Reeder was chosen to compete on the KU fencing team, coached by John Dilliard and John Giele. She is on the fencing team again this year and has also studied with Salle Sandelli at the New York City Club. Sandelli makes all the US fencing equipment and imports from Europe.
"Although I may not do too well in my first international competition in Budapest, I hope is will help me on my way for tryouts of the '68 Olympics, Miss Reeder told her eager audience.
"It's and individual thinking sport, if you could call it a sport. You have to anticipate what move your opponent will make and then parry (keep his point away) and thrust in yourself."
She went on to explain that the target area is the body torso from thighs to neck. The metallic vests are electrically wired to a machine and to the foil (weapon). When the fencer hits a target area a red light flashes to tally the touch. If the opponent touches a non-target area such as the arm, a white light flashes and no score is tallied. Four target touches in a woman's bout wins.

KU's supersonic wind tunnel is now operational with speeds as high as 2,000 miles per hour.
Tunnel Hits Mach 4.5
KU's supersonic wind tunnel has no fans. It uses vacuum pumps and tanks. The part of the tunnel that is used for experimentation is actually a blow through.
The air in the two tanks is pumped out to form a partial vacuum of about eight per cent KU atmosphere. The pressure is identical to an altitude of 60,000 feet.
The inlet to the tanks consists of a blow through test chamber and an air control valve. In operation, the air rushes through the test chamber into the tanks at speeds of Mach 1.5 to 4.5 (855 to 2,500 miles per hour)
The test models are firmly fastened in the test chamber, and with the aid of light beams and mirrors, the effect of the air's speed passing around the models can be observed and recorded. The wind test lasts about 20 seconds. The test chamber is large enough to accommodate experimental models about the size of a coffee cup.
VINCENT MUIRHEAD, assistant professor of aerospace and engineering, said the tunnel is used as laboratory equipment in the study of supersonic air flow.
This wind tunnel is one of three
