Senior crowned queen
Elizabeth Harris, Lawrence senior, became the fifth KU coed in the last eight years to be crowned American Royal Queen.
Miss Harris is majoring in drama and specializes in dancing. At her own dance studio in downtown Lawrence, she teaches ballet, jazz and acrobatic dancing.
Roderick Turnbull, Royal president, presented her with the crown and scepter to her office Saturday night before an audience of 6,500 at Kansas City Municipal Auditorium.
Miss Harris will reign over the American Royal Livestock and Horse Show Oct. 13-21.
Pam Wragge of the University of Nebraska, and Mary Jane Burk of West Texas State University, were her princesses.
Miss Harris wore an empire-style gown of French satin velour trimmed in white mink at the neckline. The two princesses were gowned in pink satin embroidered with a leaf design in deeper pink.
She holds a Watkins scholarship, the highest scholarship for women at the University. She is a choreographer for the Rock Chalk Revue this year, and a member of Delta Gamma sorority.
Pepper Rodgers at home

Singing after Ohio
By Maggie Ogilvie Kansan Staff Reporter
It's another week and another year for Pepper Rodgers.
He greeted his wife, Judy, after Saturday's 30-15 loss to Ohio—whistling and singing—and several hours later sat at the breakfast table eating a chunk of his 36th birthday cake.
He left his two-story colonial home on Pioneer Road and drove to Allen Field House where he later told his squad "we will play well" against Nebraska.
Sunday's early morning celebration. however, ended quickly.
"Pepper never looks back on previous performances," she said.
Pepper in awkward position
Still, she admitted, the 4-0 record of their son's football team "puts Pepper in an awkward position." Ricky, 14, is a defensive back for West Junior High School.
"I wish I could do that," said Mrs. Rodgers, who had tossed away a pair of "good luck" earrings after the game.
Rodgers has been winning since he was an All-American high school quarterback in Atlanta, Ga.
The couple married during his sophomore year at Georgia Tech, and two children came before his graduation—Ricky and Terri, now 13.
At that time, Mrs. Rodgers said,
he wanted to coach although his
Georgia Tech coach, Bobby Dodd,
"really tried to talk him out of it."
His parents, Franklin and Mrs. Rodgers have managed to stay close to their son by attending this year's games.
When he was born, they decided to name him after "Pepper" Martin, former St. Louis Cardinal star, in hopes young Pepper would become a baseball plaver.
He did play baseball—and basketball too. But young Pepper also took tap dancing lessons—at age five—and plaved the clarinet.
Nowadays, as a football coach, Pepper has a "nervous habit" of rising early on game days, his father said. But, he added, it's in the family tradition.
Pepper often cannot sleep well before a game, Mrs. Rodgers said, and when on road trips he rises, goes to coffee shops and talks with customers.
Penner can't sleen
Yet Mrs. Rodgers said her husband keeps the family busy when he is home. He is a music, pingpong, golf and bridge enthusiast.
Mrs. Rodgers said he doesn't like her to display scrapbooks or personal pictures in their home.
Pepper is the only player or coach to have participated in all the Bowl games, and the only assistant coach to be commended by resolution of the Georgia legislature. His golf game, which his wife says "relaxes him" won the "Bruins' Bench" (coaches) trophy in 1965 at UCLA.
He displays an autographed football from his 1966 Rose Bowl victory, and two gift trophies from the Pom-pon girls and from Air Force ROTC at KU.
Lawrence welcomes family
Lawrence welcomes family Lawrence has welcomed the family members, too. The children were on a swimming team here last summer-on the West
Coast they went to a beach Sunday's. Terry is finding that, contrary to her father's teasing predictions, skirts are not too long and rock music is not dissimilar here.
Rodgers joked that he "couldn't afford a door knob in Beverly Hills" so they lived about 20 minutes from the UCLA campus. Mrs. Rodgers saw their remoteness as a disadvantage. She prefers small towns, and the KU campus, to anything else.
