Kyle Timmerman, Wichita junior, says flying will always be a part of his life. One of many KU students who fly, Timmerman is currently working to get an Instrument Rating, which would allow him to fly during adverse weather. He also is a hang gliding enthusiast.
Flying is fun, practical and costly

More than 165 students and faculty at the University of Kansas are pilots, and there are probably as many reasons for learning to fly as there are people who fly.
"I think the answer to why is as old as man himself," Claude Laundry, Lawrence senior, said recently. "There's the enjoyment that comes from the experience of flight, and then there's the satisfaction that comes from learning to do it."
Edward Zeller, professor of physics and geology, uses his single engine Census 180
LAIRD IS working on his private pilot's license, and has 60 hours of flying time in a Cessna 150. He hopes to fly to Canada this month with three friends to help share his cost.
"I bought the aircraft equipped with a camera port and I do all the photography for the remote sensing group at the Space Technology Center here."
ZELLER SAID he had owned aircraft since 1967, accumulating 2,000 hours in the air. He praised his airplane, saying that it "was a marvel," but out of unimproved runways he often uses.
"I find flying is the most cost-efficient way to go, especially with passengers. I get close to 16 miles per gallon at 160 miles an hour. In many cases I save the cost of motels, besides being able to go in a straight line."
"MY FATHER runs the airport where I come from, so I've always been involved with aviation and I really enjoy it. At KU I'm getting a business degree which I think will give me a good background when I take over my father's business."
Tom Palen, Scott City sophomore, is a parttime flight instructor at Lawrence Aviation. Flying allows him to mix business with pleasure.
"Hopefully I'd like to apply for either helicopter or jet pilot training at Pensacola, CA."

"You spend the time nurturing the audience to a certain place," he said. "It's important."

THERE's something besides the music that makes a Cole Tuckey show appealing—it's the theatrics, the clowning and Weiss' improvised monologues between songs. The willow, scragly-haired Weiss clearly is at ease before an audience.
He says he enjoys playing off the audience, and his ad-dibbling creates a mood of spontaneity and immediacy. With the ability to write quickly, he easier to make it listen to songs, he says.
WEASEL, the band's lead guitarist, who wants to be called only that name, says, "You're a musician or a performer or you're both. Most jazz guys go out and put up with the sht and are totally obscure to it." Music is a great career for those who are into music, but we're also performers."
Weiss says it's no secret that the band wants a recording contract, although the process of obtaining one is often lengthy and filled with disappointments.
sense of light-heartedness and humor, as if it knew the whole affair started with a chance meeting between Weiss and Jameson. Perhaps the band's attitude toward their whole experience is like a warm-faced Fargo," the title of one of its more nonplacial sons.
"I if knew for a fact, today, that we weren't going to get a record contract. I would leave the band immediately," he says. "I tell the whole band would."
Onstage, Cole Tuckey often plays with a
Weiss wrote in the chorus:
"And it seems like a passing fancy
Lovers from the day going by,
Like a rain-filled summer cloud,
Like a sky from a fire.
Oh, we were the promise
that's never realized,
And just like in a passing fancy,
there's no sadness in your eyes."

Candida said the Navy would pay for his first 15 hours of instruction, evaluate his progress and determine if he would go on to become a Navy pilot.
"Sometimes I wish I was just flying instead of trying to make it through school, too," she said.
FOR DANA Maxwell, Dodge City junior, flying is simply for fun, even though learning can be difficult.
Maxwell said that her being a girl didn't make any difference to her instructor, even though she was a teacher.
According to a Lawrence Aviation
spokesman, a private pilot's license requires a minimum of 40 hours flying to earn. The cost: up to $500. Perhaps the clearest reason for learning to fly comes from Russel Getter, assistant professor of political science.
"I just decided if I was ever going to do it,
I should do it now. So did."
