Everything's coming down wet for homecoming
By Rea Wilson Kansan Staff Reporter
Although rain has tried to wash away the seeds of homecoming decorations of KU living groups this week, displays are beginning to sprout up all over campus.
Throughout this week preceding Saturday's homecoming festivities, work continues long into each night on most living group displays.
The displays' theme this year is Jayhawk Headlines. Each of the 34 entries has based its display on a fictional, historic, or everyday headline.
Damp weather has been the biggest problem the living groups have had in getting their decorations ready for the Friday night judging.
A dash of Penner
Ehi Kappa Tau fraternity had the problem of keeping workers and paint dry for its display. Jayhawks Di cover Missing Ingredient for Wildcat Stew: A Dash of Pepper.
"We have had to work outside all week because we don't have enough room inside to build the display," said Jim Davis, Springfield, Mo. junior.
The Phi Kappa Tau, like many other groups, are waiting until Friday to stuff and finish painting the displays, hoping the rain will stop by then.
Rain isn't the only problem the living groups are having.
Phi Koppa Pesi fraternity had to rebuild the heads of the characters in its display, L. B. Jay-
hawk Declares K-State a Disaster Area.
"We used balloons as the base for the papier-mache heads," said Russ Welsh. Shawnee Mission freshman. "Eut the balloons popped yesterday, throwing the papier-mache all over the room."
Body too thick?
The women of Lewis Hall have not had any major problems yet with their display, Jay Hawk from KU Pinned Wilma Wildcat from Cilo-Tech.
The coeds are, however, expecting a problem Friday when they move the display from the basement workroom to the lawn in front of the hall.
"I don't know if we will be able to get the body of the jayhawk out of the basement because his body might be too thick to fit through the doors," said Chris Carmain, Topeka freshman.
Pearson and Miller scholarship halls are having trouble getting enough people to work on their d'isplay, Trash Problem Solved—Hawks Clean Up Kittie Litter, said Mike Mellvain, Stafford, Kan., senior.
Grace Pearson and Douthart scholarship halls seem to be the only group with no problems.
"We have been working on our display for more than a month," said Todd Stevenson, Shawnee Mission junior. "Everything is finished, except for moving the display outside Friday."
The Grace Pearson - Douthart display will depict four scenes from jayhawk history.
The first scene is Sir John Jayhawk buying Manhattan from the Indians. The other three scenes are Sir George Hawkington inventing the forward pass, Baron Von Ricthoffuen and the triplane, and Sergeant Pepper's football band.
"The entire display is mechanized and lighted and has sound effects," Stevenson said.
Grace Pearson has won the grand champion trophy for homecoming displays for the last three years. Last year it retired the trophy.
Arabs seek new nation
Preparing homecoming decorations for upcoming outdoor displays for Templin Hall is Mike Putnam, Leawood junior, who has supervised the building of that living unit's project. Friday, along with KU fraternities, sororities and other residence hall displays, this one will be judged and prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place winners in each of the three divisions. The winners will be announced at the half-time ceremonies of the KU-K-State football game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The theme this year is "Newspaper Headlines."
JERUSALEM — (UPI) — A behind-the-coffee-table movement is under way among some Palestinian Arabs to form a new state on the west bank of the Jordan River, independent from both Israel and Jordan.
The campaign so far has been only at the discussion level over cups of Arab coffee as part of the endless talk about the future of the west bank area Israel captured from Jordan during the June war.
It moved further into the open last weekend when an Arab lawyer began distributing leaflets calling for a referendum on self determination.
So far discussion on the future of the west bank flows broadly along three lines:
—It should be incorporated into Israel,
—It should be handed back to Jordan, probably with adjustment of the border along better defensive lines, if King Hussein proves willing to negotiate, or
—An autonomous demilitarized state should be set up free to run its own internal affairs without interference from either Israel or Jordan.
New trophy
A new trophy has been purchased for this year's grand champion, said Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission senior, and chairman of the homecoming decorations committee.
The winners of the men's women's and mixed divisions will be notified Saturday morning.
The official announcement and presentation of the trophies will be at half time of the KU-Kansas State football game Saturday. The grand champion also will be announced then.
