Satchmo can serenade on and off stage
By John Marshall Kansan Staff Reporter
At intermission, they sat in the small dressing room in Allen Field House, playing cards, swapping private jokes, and worrying about the crowd—a near sellout at KU's 1967 Homecoming Concert.
And they talked about KU's football team.
"That Bob Douglass is some football player." said Ira Mangel, road manager for Louis Armstrong and his All Stars. "You people have a fine team."
"And don't play the Queen on that ten, stupid," Mangel said to Tyree Glenn (trombone).
Tyree is 'Butterfly'
Tyree—"Madam Butterfly" to those people who attended the Saturday Homecoming Concert—seemed confused about KU's offense.
"Why does Douglass take that funny kick-step before he gets the snap? I could tell when he was going to pass every time. But I tho-ro-ly enjoyed that game."
The large trombonist turned and slapped another card next to a half-eaten doughnut:
Plinks on a bass
Buddy Catiett stood in a corner of the small dressing room and plucked a soft slow tune on the bass. Others were smoking, talking, and enjoying small talk with each other.
Danny Barcelona (drums) tapped a soft rhythm on the table, as Catlett played on.
"I got this wonderful electric vibrator the other
day with five attachments," Barcelona said to Joe Muranyi (clarinet).
"It does wonders for my charley-horse," Barcelona said.
'Got a charley-horse?'
"You got another one? Tonight?" Muranvi asked.
"Yeah. I get 'em real bad when I sit out those long hours on the plane."
Playing doesn't cause "the horse," Barcelona said, but when you get one at the beginning of an evening, and then have to play, it can be painful.
"He thinks he's got problems," Muranyi said. "I went through a 'football buffet' this afternoon and had some chicken and potatoes. I have now consumed

Homecoming '67 winners named
After 350 miles of traveling, hours of radio and TV interviews, and three weeks of suspense and smiles, the 1967 KU Homecoming Queen finely reached her goat: a crown, a cape and a kiss.
Nancy Miller, 21, Topeka senior, was crowned queen of the 1937-68 Homecoming celebration at halftime of the KU-K-State football game Saturday.
Chencellor W. Clarke Wescoe draped the traditional fun-
trimmed red velvet cape around Miss Miller's shoulders. Gov.
Robert Docking $^1$ceved the jeweled crown on her head and
presented her with red roses.
Both officials then offered the queen the traditional congratulatory kiss.
To the 44,500 fans attending Saturday's game it was just another coronation. Eut to Gov. Robert B. Docking the crown'ing to Nancy Miller as Homecoming Queen marked a change in policy.
A Wichita newsman asked,
"What about Debbie Barnes?"
Docking answered, "I gave her roses and a kiss, but I didn't crown her."
"I want the record to show that as governor of this state I have never crowned a queen," Docking, a KU graduate, said last summer in answer to Republican charges he was spending too much time out of the office on trivial missions. He hinted that this was in contrast to Republican governors.
What was there about Nancy Miller that caused this change in political strategy?
Miss Miller and her princesses, Wendy Berg, Shawnee Mission sophomore, and Nancy Schoenbeck, St. Louis, Mo., senior, were escorted to the center of the football field by their fathers.
Grand Champion winner of the house decoration was Sigma Chi and Kappa Alpha Theta, also first place winner of the mixed division.
After the game, the queen and her attendants attended a reception at the Kansas Union where they were presented with engraved music boxes.
During halftime an estimated crowd of 44,500 also heard the announcement of the house decoration contest winners.
Other first place winners were Pi Kappa Alpha in the men's living group division, and Sigma

Kappa in the women's living group division.
Placing second were Delta Upsilon and Delta Gamma in the mixed division; Phi Kappa Sigma in the men's division; and Alpha Delta Pi in the women's division.
Third place winners were Grace Pearson and Douthart in the mixed division; Alpha Tau Omega in the men's division; and Hashinger Hall in the women's division.

Pot grows in Kansas
In Republic County, on the Nebraska line, officials said they caught five persons with 336 pounds of the cut hemp. In two neighboring counties, six people were arrested and between 150 and 200 pounds of the plant was confiscated.

Farmers think it's just another weed and local officers wish it were.
The small flourishing hemp plant is as inconspicious as Lady Godiva in a nudist colony.
The plant is marijuana and it grows wild.
"It grows wild along creek beds, rivers, roads and railroad tracks," he added, "and it should be considered a noxious weed.
In central and northern Kansas, marijuana is becoming an acute problem. Since early fall, some 35 people have been arrested and charged with illegal possession of the stimulant and authorities say there'll be a lot more arrests in the coming weeks.
"If it were a noxious weed county authorities could take care of it themselves."
After about a thousand books had been mailed, the post office opened an envelope and discovered the books were being mailed with an advertiser's name on the back cover. Post office officials
Nabors caught three boys with a couple of duffel bags full of the hemp. He said the boys had been through the area a few weeks before, saw it along the road and returned to cash in on the opportunity. They were caught while actually cutting the plants.
Republic County Sheriff Robert Blecha said, "The stuff grows wild all over this part of Kenses. Many people have it on their farm and don't know what it is."
Blecha teamed with Jewell County Sheriff Charles Murrey to catch three Californians carrying the plants in a rented trailer. He said people at a grain elevator became suspicious when the three bought a large quantity of burlap sacks. Authorities were tipped and made the arrests.
When the staff knew the book would come out after students had left the campus they rejected all advertising for the fourth issue to qualify for the lower rate
Holes made in Jayhawker cover
The fourth issue of the 1966-6/ Jayhawker, a book beset with problems, will be mailed with a triangular-shaped hole cut in the back cover.
"The holes had to be made," said Tom Yoe, yearbook advisor, "to qualify for book instead of parcel post rate."
Yoe also said Blake Biles, Hutchinson senior and yearbook editor, thought it would be all right to retain the Estes Studio logotype on the back cover so it would be like all the other issues
To qualify for the book rate a book must not have any advertising in it.

Faced with the possibility of having to pay the increased rate, especially after already having rejected all advertising revenue, they decided to remove the logotype.

"The difference in rates for several thousand issues," Yoe said, "amounted to more money than the advertising revenue would have."
To send the issue by the book rate, Yoe said, costs 15 cents a piece, but parcel post costs at least 50 cents a piece or more for different zones.

Yoe said although Estes took the picture for the cover he did not pay for the ad.
According to Yoe the problem was unusual, because the book is usually finished on time and the books don't have to be mailed in great quantities.
The party pictures issue must be mailed separately because it doesn't qualify for the book rate. They will be mailed as soon as the fourth issue has been mailed.
"Because some addresses are wrong now or have been lost," Yoe said. "anyone who hasn't received his book by Nov. 20 should come by his office, 32 Strong Hall, to pick it up."
In Salina, in central Kansas, nine college students were arrested last week in one raid. Later, a Ft. Riley soldier was arrested for selling marijuana to the youths.
Two weeks ago, the Salina County sheriff's office picked up two persons and confiscated about 100 pounds of marijuana.
At Kansas State University in Manhattan, one student was convicted this summer of illegal possession of marijuana.
Riley County Undersheriff Wayne Anderson said four soldiers from nearby Ft. Riley were caught Oct. 30 with 25 bundles "of the raw stuff."

SUA offers movie, panel on drug use
"Turn on, Tune in, Drop out," Timothy Leary's psychedelic film coming to KU this week, purports to take its audience on a dollar trip "into the sense organs, through the body, and down the protein ladder of genetic memory."
Presented by Student Union Activities, the film will be shown at 7 p.m. Thursday in Hoch Auditorium. Tickets sell for $1 and can be purchased at the Kansas Union information desk or at the door.
A discussion of drug use and abuse, moderated by Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, will follow the film. Commenting on the film will be Dr. Raymond Schwegler, director of Watkins Hospital, Dr. Sidney Schroeder, Watkins staff psychiatrist, and Dr. Kenneth Godfrey, psychiatrist in charge of LSD research at the Topeka Veterans' Hospital.
Timothy Leary, the film's creator, is a leading proponent of the use of LSD. Leary was dismissed from his post as a clinical psychologist at Harvard for misuse of hallucinogenic drugs.
