Miss Kansas Is KU Coed
By Martha Moser
You can take a girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl.
Tuesday. Sept. 19. 19
This is perhaps the most disconcerting jingle that meets the career-minded Kansan as she steps outside her state. But it only compliments Miss Kansas of 161.
CAROLYN PARKINSON. Scott City junior and Miss Kansas of 1961, recently returned from the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, N.J.
"I'm glad to be back in college," Miss Parkinson said. "This is where I belong and want to be."
SITTING ON A GREEN, embossed divan in her campus home, flipping through a scrapbook of pictures and newspaper clippings, Miss Kansas said;
"Of course, I wanted to represent Kansas in the pageant as best I knew how. I was disappointed that I wasn't in the top 10, but I wasn't crushed. I didn't want to feel that I was competing with the other girls. They were my friends."
"I wanted to do something different so I chose a spoken ballet. It went over big in Kansas, but it wasn't received as well in Atlantic City. I guess it was too Kansas."
SHE IS MAJORING in music education. But, she said, she did not want to do a musical number. "I felt that many others would have them.
Miss Parkinson won first in the formal competition in the Miss America Pageant. She was first in the talent division of the Miss Kansas contest.
Describing the atmosphere in Convention Hall at the final judging, she said:
"There was so much tension, if someone had struck a match. I'm sure the hall would have exploded."
MISS PARKINSON SAID AN aspect not often mentioned about the Miss America Pageant is that the contest sponsors education. Each contestant in the pageant receives a $200 scholarship to the college of her choice. Miss America receives a $10,000 scholarship.
Miss Parkinson said what she gained most from her reign as Miss Kansas was "a respect for people and from people.
"It has been challenging, educational, and inspirational. Everywhere in Kansas I found an unboundless wealth of kindness from the people of Kansas."
France Begins Troop Retreat
TUNIS — (UPI) — France has started withdrawing her forces in Tunisia to positions they held before the outbreak of fighting in Bizerte last July, it was reported today.
Tunisian government sources said the pullback began yesterday when six French warships sailed out of the Lac De Bizerte and into the Mediterranean.
The sources said the agreement to withdraw was reached after two weeks of discussions between French and Tunisian officials and would require "about five days."
France previously had refused to comply with a United Nations General Assembly demand for the withdrawal.
The withdrawal "does not at all resolve the main problem, which remains the total evacuation of the base," the sources said, but it "proves that France has renounced her idea of occupation."
The pullback apparently followed Tunisian assurances that the French would be able to maintain access to the scattered outposts of the base. The four-day battle of Bizerte began after Tunisians barricaded roads to the outpost.
It was not known how many French troops were still in the city of Bizerte, which, except for the Casbah, they have occupied since the end of the fighting. Two paratroop regiments which were flown into the Bizerte base from Algeria were withdrawn last month.

ARCHIE SAYS:
My cousin Archie—he thought the electric razor his gal gave him lost Christmas was o.k. Then he tried Old Spice Pro-Electric, the before shave lotion. Now the guy won't stop talking, he thinks electric shaving is so great.
ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric improves electric shaving even more than lather improves blade shaving. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric sets up your board by drying perspiration and whisker oils so you shave blade-close without irritation. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric gives you the closest, cleanest, fastest shave.
If Archie ever stops talking, I'll tell him I use Old Spice Pro-Electric myself.

Prof. Baustian With Opera
YONKERS, N. Y. — (UPI) — Patrons of the Restaurant-in-the-Sky here don't have to cast furtive glances around the room before pocketing an ash tray or salt shaker as a souvenir. In fact, the management offers each customer a neatlywrapped package of booty, consisting of ash tray, salt shaker, shrimp fork and swizzle stick.
"It's good promotion," explained owner Ben Rolleri. "Each item bears the restaurant's name."
Prof. Baustian has been a regular conductor with the Santa Fe Opera Company since its beginning in 1957.
