USC jumpers By CHRIS MYERS Asst. Sports Editor For the average person, the idea of parachuting or sky-diving is one of those things that is fascinating but is left up to the thrill seekers of the world. At best he says that he would like to do it once, but only once. ' s For the past two weekends at Lugoff air field, the skies have been filled with these "thrill seekers" as USC's sport parachute club has played host to two tournaments. On Saturday, the South Carolina invitational meet was held more than five different jumping clubs from all over South Carolina competed in jumping competition. On April 18, USC hosted the first meet of the Carolina Sport Parachute Council. Hie council, which to many of the jumpers in,, the U.S. Parachute Association is the toughest, began its season with the Lugoff jumps. IN THE CAROLINA invitational, the team contest was very close as USC squeaked out a victory. USC jumpers did well in the individual category as Jay Ellis and Walter Stoudemire won their divisions.

Schneider further explained that the USC and the Citadel clubs are mostly students with less than 50 jumps. The beginning jumper must use a static line according to Schneider, to insure that he doesn't freeze and forget to pull the cord. He must also use the less maneuverable canopies in his jumps.
