New Record for a KU Hiker
MOVING FORWARD WITH VIGAH is Gregory Sipe, San Lorenzo, Calif., freshman, who set a new record for KU's 50-mile hikers Saturday. Sipe covered the distance from the Holiday Inn Motel in Lawrence to downtown Ottawa and back in nine hours and 50 minutes, nearly an
hour better than the previous mark. In the picture at left, Sipe is jogging along U.S. 59 south of Lawrence, three miles from the finish line. At right, Sipe is congratulated by his Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers after he set the new record.
Sipe Covers 50-Mile Distance In Record Nine Hours, 50 Minutes
"I'm tired."
That was the most significant comment Gregory Sipe, San Lorenzo. Calif., freshman, could make following his record-breaking 50- mile hike Saturday.
Sipe covered the distance from the Holiday Inn in Lawrence to downtown Ottawa, Kan., and back in nine hours and 50 minutes, nearly an hour faster than the time recorded the week before by Pete Miner, Kirkwood, Mo., freshman.
IT WASNT AN easy trek for Sipe and his 14 comrades from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, as they were confronted with rain, sleet, and a little snow during the hike.
Wet weather didn't seem to bother Sipe at all. In fact, the weather was a helping factor according to most of the hikers, because it was warmer than usual.
Sipe, a cross country runner in high school, was the only one who finished the endurance walk. Most of the group dropped out on the way back to Lawrence when they saw they had no chance to break the record.
Sipe had considerable company on his hike, though, despite his fast pace.
A MOBILE UNIT from radio station KLWN in Lawrence accompanied him along the way and near the end of his long "walk" he was paced by two members of the group, Herman Mast, Lawrence senior, and Tom Shortlidge, Park Ridge, Ill. freshman, both of whom had quit earlier.
Two other KU long distance hopefuls, a pair of bicycle riders, didn't fare as well as Sipe.
Zimmerman said they would try again this weekend, but they will cut the distance down, pedaling only to Toneka and back.
Carl Zimmerman, Hartford, Conn., graduate student, and Art Must, Hiawassea, Ga., sophomore, had planned a 121-mile bike ride for Saturday, but Must's gearshift cable snapped two miles outside of Lawrence and the ride ended.
He said they would also try to find any other interested cyclists who would like to go along.

"EVERYTHING HAS GONE pretty smoothly at the technical rehearsal, better than I thought it would," he said.
A member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi skit said their costumes were being finished up and the cast was getting ready for the partial dress rehearsal tomorrow night.
"We have to get all the technical parts together. Other than that we're ready," said John Erickson, North Kansas City, Mo., sophomore.

The demonstrators were convicted in magistrate's court in Columbia. They received fines ranging from $10 to $100 and jail terms of from 5 to 30 days. In many cases, half the $100 fine was suspended.
