Record breaking

Senior Adam Hoelzel, left, helps recent IU graduate Aaron Waltke put on his 159th shirt in Waltke's attempt to break the world record for most T-shirts worn at once. Waltke succeeded in putting on 160 shirts, breaking the record set by Matt McAllister in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Sept. 15. McAllister wore 155 shirts in his record attempt.\nWaltke had to send in paperwork months in advance to get clearance for the official record attempt. Guinness researches past records and accepts or rejects proposals to break the records. Waltke said he will send Guinness World Records a video tape of the event, as well as newspaper clippings and pictures. He said he doesn't expect to get a spot at the Guinness museums but said it's possible that the record could be in the "Guinness Book of World Records"
