For just ‘
pennies ?

College has
become I
very l
expensive, I
we all know that. I

Here is what one guy i

l
l
l
l

 

did in an effort to
=void those
student loans.

  

l
A guy named l
Mike Hayes I
focused on his lack =
of capital problem i
and solved it by
coming up with an
incredible scheme.

Mike wrote to columnist
Bob Greent
at the
Chicago
Tubune
and asked for his
help. Bob would
simply ask each of
his millions of
readers to send just
one penny to help 1
finance Mike’s
college education.

Surely a scheme like
this could never
work. Mike
was asking

for a

 
   

tremendous amount
of pennies. Think
about it - $28,000
translates into 2.8
million pennies.

Once the newspaper
article appeared, the
mail came pouring
in.

After one month of '
collecting, he had
received about
70,000 donations
averaging 34 cents
per envelope. In

other words,

Mike raked

in

 

 

approximately i
521000! I

In the end, Mike did get
his $28,000 and a
bachelor’s degree in
food science.
No one
really knows
how much
more money
came in, but Mike
agreed to set up an
educational
scholarship fund with
the excess.

Climbing club: Training in a gym, scampering up
sheer walls outdoors and being able to “do anything"

By Jessica Story

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Beginning anti experienced mom
bers alike are reaching new iieights
with UK's Rock (‘limbing (‘lub

The Rock Climbing club ventured
to Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone
National Forest on Sunday. October 17
to spend the afternoon climbing “the
Zoo." said graduate student Barry llrol-
ley. president ofthe organization.

The rocks and cliffs at Red River
Gorge supply climbers with countless
angles and slants. Broiley said.

“The rocks and terrain are always
different and you never know what to
expect." he said.

The climb at the Zoo was a novel
experience for sortie members. such as
Amanda Whitworth. a biology junior.
and Jennifer Branham. a political sci

 

etice senior.

“It was the hardest thing i ltad ever
done physically." said Bl‘ltlllltlm. whose

voyage up the Zoo was her first climb.
Branham said that climbing is a
challenge and progress is slow. When

the day is over though. it makes her

feel brave and strong.

“The climbing Club is great." said
Branham. “It gives all of us beginners
a chance to improve anti encourages
tts to stick with it."

Whitworth admits that during her
first climb at Red-River Gorge site was
scared and it was the club members
who had to reassure her that site was
completely safe and that site had the
strength to continue.

"I was encouragingly told that it
was OK that I had little previous (‘XIW
rience with climbing.” Whitworth
said. “Barry tilrolley) and the other

 

The

 

 

 

members did everything they cotlld to
teach me the basics and I felt very pro
pared when it came time for my first
climb at Red River Gorge."

When llrolley became president of
the club last year. he decided to take
the initiative to recruit iiietiibors and
become more active.

Introductory sessions provide new
members with general itifornuition
about climbing. Training sessions oc»
ctir indoors at the (.Tlimb ’l‘ime gym in
lexingtoti. Members practice technique
and safety weekly. he said. The group
also plans to expand their outings. with
a trip to Mexico in the planning stage.

Whitworth and iiratihaiii said the
benefits of climbing reach far beyond
sight-seeing and physical l‘M‘t‘t‘lst‘.

Patience. balance. and persever
mice are the most important benefits.
Whitworth said.

“Getting to the top of the wall
helps me to see that as long as I do not
give up on myself. I can do anything."
she said.
