Rule book 'crowns' Kandee
By Janice Vandeventer
Kansan Staff Reporter
She only won second place, but now she's number one.
Less than two weeks ago, Kandee Kae Klein was a novice junior at Temple Buell College in Colorado, and second place winner—and also ran in the 1967 Miss Kansas contest.
State beauty pageant rules stipulate that a second place contestant may move up to first if the first place winner relinquishes her title—which Miss Barnes did when she accepted the Atlantic City award.
But Debra Barnes, the first place winner in the same state beauty contest was crowned Miss America Sept. 9—and surprised fame came to Kandee Klein.
In other words, the rule book had made Kandee Klein Miss Kansas 1967.
But the rules also said Kandee had to be in Kansas—at a Kansas school—if she wanted the relinquished crown.
$ \mathrm{S o}_{2} $ Kandee transferred here last week, major undeclared but interested in "directive personnel" work.
"I had fallen in love with KU earlier," she explained. "There was just no question about my choice."
Title pays off
With her new title, Kandee will receive a new car and a $1,000 scholarship. And, although she says she doesn't like to mention her title to her neighbors in Naismith Hall, Kandee admits, "It pays to be Miss Kansas."
Kandee says her climb to second-and-now-first-place fame began in 1966 when a Tribune acquaintance suggested she enter a local fair pageant.
She did, won first, and stayed on the beauty contest circuit, becoming Miss Northwest Kansas and Miss Garden City.
At Pratt this summer, she became Miss Kansas, runner-up.
Praise for contests
Now 19, Kandee has kind words

Changes proposed last spring for three primary English courses have been adopted successfully, said John R. Willingham, director of the freshman-sophomore program in the English department.
Changes made 'successfully'
"Originally, the changes were requested about three years ago by the Freshman - Sophomore English Committee," Willingham said. "They wanted a heavier concentration on literature. Happily, we discovered the College Intermediary Board was in favor of these changes."
Linguistics and logic are now emphasized in English II. English III is a more sophisticated introduction to literature with emphasis on critical writing, he said.
The most difficult decision, said Willingham, was whether or not to make English I deal primarily with classical or contemporary literature. The latter was chosen "mainly because of the literary richness of the 1920's," he explained.
"Although we all can't be completely satisfied with the revised program, we believe we've come up with a happy alignment of courses," he added.

for the state beauty contest—"It rewarded me with poise"—although she approves of a recent change in the contest rules which prohibits a contestant's mother from acting as a chaperon.
"Some of them (the mothers) push their daughters and make them nervous."
Someday, Kandee says, she'd like to work in the office of a university's dean of women. "I like
to be in the center of everything going on," she explains.
Meanwhile, local store clerks now recognize her name on checks as that of the "new" Miss Kansas. One has even given her a discount on purchases.
Officially, though, Kandee Klein doesn't become Miss Kansas until late October when her benefactor, Debra Barnes, Miss America, gives Kandee the state crown.
Student LSD convict to undergo analysis
WICHITA — (UPI)— James H. L. Ewan, a 21-year-old former Wichita State University student convicted of selling and possessing psychedelic drugs, must undergo medical examination the next 60 days.
U. S. District Judge Frank Thies postponed sentencing Tuesday until he receives reports of the examinations. Thesis also granted 10 days for filing of a new trial motion.
The Pittsburg, Kan., man will be taken either to the U.S. Medical facility, Springfield, Mo., or one at Englewood, Colo., primarily for juveniles, for observation.
He was convicted by a 10-man. 2-woman federal jury here in June on three counts of pos-
sensing and selling LSD and marijuana. It was the first such conviction in Kansas.
Theis noted that Ewan appeared to be intelligent, came from a good family and had not been in trouble before.
The judge said that if Ewan had not become involved with LSD he probably never would have been in court. He had appeared Tuesday for sentencing.
