BOB DOUGLASS TRIES LUCK INTO LINE
If the weather continues to oe drippy, and it should, we may see more running and less passing in tomorrow's grid game with Ohio. Light rain is expected to continue until game time and could jeopardize KU's usually strong throwing game. To cut down on possible errors, Douglass and Coach Pepper Rodgers may elect to stay on the ground.
AURH to make plan for hall open house
The Association of University Residence Halls (AUHR) ap-
Residence Halls (ROHM)
pointed a student committee
Thursday to study and formulate
a plan which will increase the
flexibility of open-house regulations for University residence halls.
The committee will be headed by Kay Rothenberger, Leavenworth sophomore living in Watson Scholarship Hall.
Clif Conrad, Bismarck, N.D., junior and AURH president, said the open house committee wants to formulate a policy which will alleviate some of the present cumbersome procedures of having an open house.
"More discretion should be given to individual living groups in determining the frequency and regulations of open houses." Conrad said.
When completed, the proposed policy will be submitted to the
ASC social committee for approval.
Mrs. Frank Shavlik, assistant dean of women and AURH adviser, said at present all open houses must be registered with the ASC social committee.
"Under existing regulations open houses usually occur on weekends during special university events, such as Parents Day or Homecoming," Mrs. Shavlik said.
It is impossible for anyone to register an open house anytime they wish, she added.
The open house issue was brought before AURH members by McCollum Hall representatives who attended an AURH business meeting Wednesday night at Sellards Scholarship Hall.
Conrad said that after the group discussion the 50 people attending the meeting agreed a revision of the existing open house policy is needed.
WEATHER
Cloudy skies, showers or thunderstorms, and cool temperatures are forecast for tonight by the U.S. Weather Bureau. Considerable cloudiness and scattered showers are likely Saturday. The low tonight should be near 55 degrees, high Saturday near 70.
Work begins at playground
Stouffer Place children are finally getting their playground.
"Work began early this week," said J. J. Wilson, director of housing at KU. "We'll move along as fast as we can, but it's hard to work in the rain."
One Stouffer Place mother, Mrs. Terrell Phenice, said housing maintenance men have been working on the installation of two swing sets.
She said the men have laid the cement foundations and are "waiting' for the cement to dry."
"We should be able to use the swings in two or three days," Mrs. Phenice said.
Mrs. Robert Evans, Stouffer Place, said she thinks "it's great—they're finally getting busy on it."
She said she hopes to see the whole play area finished in "two or three weeks."
Over $1,000 worth of playground equipment, part of which still isn't here, was ordered last spring after several Stouffer Place parents got together and made up a list of equipment the children needed. They presented the list to Wilson.
The parents compiled the list because their children's play area consisted of pipes and tractor tires in a weed-infested, fenced-in area. A wooden box was removed from the play area because it was labeled "a hazard" by some of the parents.
Some of the parents decided to improvise while waiting for the play equipment. They hung chains from their balconies for make-shift swings.
Attorney general won't enter race
By Paul Haney Kansan Staff Reporter
TOPEKA—Atty. Gen. Robert C.
Londerholm said today he defi-
nitely would not be a 1968 Republi-
can candidate for governor of
Kansas.
He added that he would not seek re-election as attorney general.
Londerholm, a 1955 KU law graduate, had been mentioned frequently as a GOP candidate for governor to oppose Robert B. Docking, who has announced he will seek re-election.
Londerholm indicated Wednesday at a Collegiate Young Republicans meeting at KU that he
would not be a candidate for governor. He did not elaborate on the statement.
He said he had no future political plans. He said he probably would practice law "in the Kaw Valley area."
His home is Prairie Village.
Londerholm said he would not be a candidate even if he was asked by state party leaders.
He said it was too early to tell who the Republican candidate will be.
"Nobody's stepped forward yet, but even if there were two or three announced candidates I wouldn't have any preference," he said.
No new cases of hepatitis reported at KU this week
No new cases of hepatitis have been reported on campus this week, Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, director of the student health service, said Thursday.
Two members of Alpha KappaLambda fraternity who live in an apartment were admitted to Watkins Hospital last weekend with the disease. Two more have been
examined and released from Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
The students in Watkins apparently are doing well and are asking to go home.
Leonard Powell, newly - appointed campus sanitarian, inspected the AKL house Wednesday and gave it a clean bill of health.
Asked if he actively would support the party's gubernatorial candidate,Londerholm said,"I'll probably be busily engaged in conducting this office at that time."
Other state Republicans mentioned as possible candidates for governor include Lt. Gov. John Crutcher of Hutchinson, Rep. John Connard, Speaker of the House from Greensburg, and Glee Smith, Senate Pres. Pro-tem from Larned.
Londerholm said he "hasn't encouraged speculation" that he might be a candidate.
KU coed will hold her secret until Saturday
By Allison Steimel Kansan Staff Reporter
Elizabeth Harris, Lawrence senior and KU's American Royal Queen candidate, knows who was elected queen. But she can't say.
Miss Harris and the 16 other queen candidates learned Friday morning the winner of the American Royal Queen contest. The queen, and her court, however, will not be publicly announced until the Coronation Ball Saturday night in Kansas City Municipal Auditorium.
The queen will reign over the American Royal Livestock and Horse Show, Oct. 13-21.
"I'm too excited to be tired," said Miss Harris Thursday night.
'Too Excited'
She had just returned to her hotel room after a day filled with interviews and the formal evening judging.
Miss Harris and her chaperone Melinda Cole, an assistant to the KU dean of women, arrived in Kansas City Thursday morning.
After lunch at the Top of the Towers, Mayor Ilus W. Davis of Kansas City, Mo., made Miss Harris and the other queen candidates honorary citizens of Kansas City.
The girls were then presented to the judges for a five-minute interview each.
No names used
Numbers were used so that names and university preferences would not affect the judging.
"Im No. 14," said Miss Harris.
"Actually I'd be No. 13 but that number is excluded as an omen of bad luck."
Miss Harris and the other candidates paraded before the judges in the formal judging Thursday evening.
Her gown was white interwoven with silver thread in a semi-A line style. She wore rhinestone drop earrings, a rhinestone clip in her hair, and silver shoes.
The judges asked the girls personal information and then asked each girl a serious and then a frivolous question.
She said ves

thought a man and wife ought to have similar educations. She said she thought similar educations would help the couple in communicating although the education needn't be exactly alike.
Miss Harris majors in theater at KU. She considers dancing her "one true talent," and has her own dance studio in downtown Lawrence.
For two years she has been first

runner-up in the Miss Lawrence-KU competition and was a candidate in the KU American Royal Queen competition last year.
If Miss Harris wins the American Royal Queen title, she will be the fifth KU winner since 1959.
Mary Arnett of Lawrence won the title in 1959. Carolyn Parkinson of Scott City won in 1961; Mimi Frink of Lawrence in 1964; and Deborah Fowler of Topeka, 1965.
