Concrete Canoe "Concrete canoe 7 lt'll never work! It'll sink," you say. Well,Kansas Tech., along with many other schools, has proved that it will work. Not only is there new advanced technology in computers, but concrete is advan- :ing also! Concrete that floats and is sturdy. The idea was originated from a project to devolope a concrete mixture that was light in weight and durable at the same time. Civil students from various colleges were confronted with the idea. In order to promote student interest, the canoe idea evolved. Kansas State Univ- ersity took the responsibility of hosting the Concrete Canoe Race primarily because of their access to the River Pond Area of Tuttle Creek State Park. Each year the civil departments design and construct their canoes and prepare for the races in April. As a side interest, the concrete frisbee was later added to the sport. For the 1986-87 academic year, Kansas Tech's civil department created a rather unusual canoe named "Kleavage". Norman Peterson and Randy Bourbina were co- cap- tians inthe project. Civil students that participated in the concrete fribee contest were Justin Birch who received lst, Mark Grosland who took 3rd, and Norman Peterson who received 4th. No women were enrolled in civil this year so Joan Martin and Lisa Merrill partici- pated as the women's team. They won the preliminary race and tied for second in the finals but then diqualified themselves as they weren't civil majors. Dennis Shreves and Steve Thompson raced for the faculty team. They placed third in the final heat for Kansas Tech. Kansas Tech. are proud of their civil department and is ready to go again next year. By Lisa Merrill l"!'z vga .f.LA g LEFT.
