President Cl ifton Ganus vetoed the request for joint use of the poo l but d id offer to approve poo l use by the female divers on a separate basis. This proved economically un feasible, howeve r, as Newton required a minimum of six students for both poo l and classroom instruction sess ions. Newton offered to let the two women drive to Li ttle Rock and take their diving hours with a mixed scuba class there. Sarah King and Diane Finley agreed, but it was ea rly in the spring before a class finally go t underway.

" Barry Kelley , a sophom0re from South Po int , Ohio, said, " I was amazed . It's a different world. When you get underwater y0U forget everything else. It's dark and there's a sense of weightlessness - like being in outer space. It's a different experience from anyth ing I've ever done. " The idea for the class originated when several students expresseu to Coach Jack Boustead their desire to learn how to scuba dive. Boustead, who has his basic National Associa ti on of Underwater Inst ructors certifi cation, investigated and approved an instructor for the class. - 5haro" Goetti"g t(" , 287 Bu r kett-Evans
