Queen elected at SUA event
For the second consecutive year a Tri Delt has been crowned SUA Carnival Queen.
Andrea Lynn Sogas was crowned Saturday night at the Kansas Union by last year's queen, Laura Kitchen.
The queen's attendants are Janet Merrick, first runner-up, a Chi Omega sophomore from Shawnee Mission, and Debbie Waltz, second runner-up, a Delta Gamma sophomore from Arkansas City.
Trophies awarded
Miss Sogas, a junior in elementary education from Shawnee Mission, announced the winners of the booth and skit competitions after her crowning.
Trophies were awarded for the best booths and skits. Winners in the men's division for best booths were Theta Chi, first place, Delta Tau Delta, second, and Phi Delta Theta, third.
Winners in the women's division for best booths were Delta Delta Delta, first. Alpha Chi Omega, second, and Kappa Alpha Theta, third.
Best skit trophies in the men's division went to Alpha Kappa
Lambda, first place, and Phi Kappa Psi, second. Kappa Kappa Gamma was first, and Gamma Phi Beta, second, in the women's division.
The Student Union Ballroom was crowded before and during the announcements. The people who had booths or skits entered in the competition were dressed in togas to carry out the theme of the carnival, "Roman Jollys and Their Dollys" or "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Union."
Colorful prizes
Many of those visiting the carnival were wearing paper medalions, carrying paper spears or glass mugs they won as prizes from the booths.
The queen and her attendants were selected by the people at the carnival. The ticket stubs were used as ballots and were put in boxes bearing the names of 36 girls and their living groups. Pictures of the girls were above the balloting boxes on the main floor of the Union.
Judges visited the 10 skits and 31 booths to determine which were the best.
KU grad students remain delegates
Originally designed as a representative voice of the graduate student body, the Graduate Student Association (CSA) will remain an organization of representatives appointed by department heads, said Jack Casey. Stanley graduate student and chairman pro tem, at a meeting last night.
GSA was organized last month after graduate students listed their grievances about KU's graduate school.
A preliminary statement written by Casey and distributed at the meeting said "the work of setting up a democratic foundation for this organization would be staggering." The statement added that since "we can be an association without being representative" the GSA will form to "leave the life of the graduate community, facilitate interdepartmental cooperation, channel the collective effort of graduate students toward the improvement of academic facilities, working conditions, and social lives of graduate students."
Casey said these goals would be accomplished through six GSA committees.
Committee to form organizations
The organizational committee will aid in the formation of departmental organizations and assess the possibility of representation in the local American Association of University Professors
The University Affairs Committee will attempt to serve as a liaison between the GSA and existing policy-making bodies on campus, in particular the Faculty Senate, the Graduate Faculty, and the All Student Council.

78th Year, No.21
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Monday, October 16, 1967
"We felt Spring Fling was really a success, so we thought it would be a good idea to introduce residence hall students to each other earlier in the year," said Butch Lockard, Raytown, Mo., sophomore and second vice-chairman of AURH.
The festival, sponsored by the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), will make its debut Oct. 21. Events, under the theme of the "Old West," are scheduled continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Mix rides, food, hay, prizes and music, add about 4,000 residence hall students, and the result is the University's first Fall Festival.
Festival heads West
A festival derby will start the day's events at 9:30 am.
Paired floors from men and women's halls can enter an unlimited number of cars to run any of the four routes. Each route is about 30 miles.
Derby rules stipulate that each car must have two to six passengers—an equal number of men and women.
Lockard said that entrants will be given a set of questions which they must answer upon completing their route.
"We may ask something like where is the sign that says 'this is Ford country,'" Lockard explained.
Trophies will be awarded to the winners of each route on the basis of mileage, speed and the
number of questions answered correctly.
Picnic follows
Pairs who want to enter the derby competition must notify the AURH office before 7 p.m. Oct.19.
Residence hall students are also invited to a box-lunch picnic at Centennial Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Lockard said Lawrence and Kansas City merchants have donated about 20 prizes, including dinner for two at a restaurant and jewelry. A studio has offered to do a free portrait of its winner.

Playmate draws student comment
"Well, fellas, what did you think of the Playmate in town this weekend?"
Tickets go on sale for the student migration to Colorado. See page 10.
"Please, let's talk about something pleasant."
Miss September, Dianne Chandler, was the "prize" offered to the living group spending the most money at the store.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity won
Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month, September 1966, might have been a beauty a year ago in the magazine's centerfold. But the only bells she rang last weekend were in the cash register of a local men's wear store.
THE BIG BONUS

Students must be present to win.
Curious men filed in, many looking her over from a safe distance. A few gathered enough courage to ask for her autograph, which she signed on her picture.
"It was a waste of time to go see her," said Dick Hubbard, Kansas City sophomore.
"The PIKEs got took," said Al Gottland, Kansas City freshman, an independent.
"She was heavier and shorter than her picture showed," said

Residence hall floors have also been paired to make carnival booths which will open at 6 p.m. in the residence hall parking lot west of Iowa Street.
"We have about 37 booth pairings," Lockard said, "but we don't know yet how many booths will be entered."
Participation in a booth activity will cost 10 cents, and any profit made will be put in the respective hall's social fund.
Along with the carnival regulars of popcorn and cotton candy, amusement park rides will be in operation the entire day, Lock-ard said.
As carnival activities continue into the evening, hayracks will run through campus from the scholarship and residence halls to the carnival areas. Hayrack rides will begin at 7 p.m.
Western square dance
Students will "swing their partners" to western music at a square dance from 8 to 11 p.m. at Templin Hall.
"You don't need to know how to square dance to come." Lockard said, "the caller is going to teach everyone." Buford Evans, chairman of the Greater Kansas City Area Association of Square Dance Callers will be calling the steps.
Silent films will also be shown at Templin from 7 to 10 p.m.
