Crimson and blue clean at game
Big Blue also won during the halftime of Saturday's game.
The halftime floor sweepers wearing crimson and blue shirts and armed with crimson and blue mops provide KU's super-enthusiastic fans with some extra competition to cheer and boo.
The men, both full-time maintenance men, say it's just a matter of getting across the 114-foot 9-inch floor six times in two or two and a half minutes.
Big blue talks
Marion Affalter (blue) said there's no intention of a race, he's just trying to get the job done fast and all the attention doesn't bother him.
He thought up the idea of dyeing the mops. "I like my job and I thought it would be nice to add a little color to it," he said.
He dyes the mops in huge galvanized trash cans, uses them for five or six games, sends them to the laundry and dyes another set.
This is the third year for the colorful mops. Crimson and blue caps were added last year but Afalter said they were too tight. "But we'll wear them again if they want us to," he said.
Affalter said he bought a shirt specially for games but added, "Blue's my favorite color so there's no problem."
Dyes mops
Raymond Vandeventer (red) said they tried to out walk each other "four or five times when no one was in the Field House" but they always came out even.
“Sometimes I get tripped up and can't get through so fast and
sometimes he does," Affalter said.
Blood donors are urgently needed in Lawrence.
Vandeventer said someone timed them last year at one minute and 35 seconds. "We were traveling pretty fast I'll tell you," he said.
Blood needed; Olsen 'critical'
Lawrence Memorial Hospital's blood supply is getting low and the Red Cross has scheduled a special drawing. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at Legion-acres on Highway 40 west of Lawrence from 3 to 8 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Five cadets recognized
Five Air Force ROTC cadets have received the Distinguished Military Student Award for outstanding leadership ability and academic performance. The presentation was made by Lt. Col. Charles H. Brown, Jr., Nov. 30 in Dyche Auditorium.
The award is given each semester to cadets who are among the top 20 per cent in their class and who have been recognized as leaders in campus and field training activities. Their standing in academic and military classes must warrant designation as distinguished, and they must have a high probability of being designated a distinguished graduate and being considered for appointment in the Air Force.
The five distinguished military students, all seniors, are Ray Bengston, Tribune; Steve Fryer, Arkansas City; Dan Harrington, Penfield, N.Y.; Gary Moser, Topeka; and Allen Purvis, Topeka.
An emergency drawing was required Saturday night to provide blood for a former KU student, Donald L. Olsen II, 820 Ohio St., who suffered head, chest, and possible internal injuries in a one-car accident in K-10 highway east of Eudora Saturday.
The hospital had no blood in stock of Olsen's type, O-negative, and had to have a supply flown in from Wichita. Olsen is still listed in poor condition by the hospital this morning.
A hospital source said all types of blood are needed. More important than having a certain given type in stock is having a certain number of pints on the shelves.
When hospitals need a type that is not in stock, they can trade with other hospitals and blood banks.

Should you drink beer straight from the bottle?
If you're on a blanket party or something, carrying along a glass is pretty clumsy. But when it's convenient, we think it's a shame not to use one.
Keeping Budweise inside the bottle or can is missing half the fun.
Those tiny bubbles getting organized at the top of your glass have a lot to do with taste and aroma. Most beers have carbonation pumped in mechanically. Not Budweiser. We go to a barrel
Just for fun, pour your next four or five bottles of Bud into a glass. If you don't agree that the extra taste, clarity and
aroma make a big difference go back to the bottle.
We won't say another word.
