Accident ends appearances
Miss Kansas gains insights
By Jill Ovens Staff Reporter
When KU student Nancy Cobb becomes a physical therapist, she will know the slow, agonizing process of recovering from an accident.
Cobb, the reigning Miss Kansas and last year's Miss Lawrence, has
in and out of the hospital for operations to repair her ankles and peck.
A neck aop-

to her skull to mobilize her neck.

made of leather and plastic that is so hot, she can't go out in the heat.
"I look like a footballer," she said Monday from her parents' home in Wichita. "I don't look very attractive."
About midnight on May 3, Cobb was returning home from a friend's house when her car swerped off the road in Sedwick County sheriff's reports.
The 1984 Pontiac Firebird she was driving was demolished. Cobb had been given the use of the car during her year's reign as Miss Kansas.
Cobb said she hoped the heavy brace and the cast on her ankle would be off by mid-July so that she could return to the University of Kansas in the fall. She withdrew from KU last week to fulfill her duties as Miss Kansas.
Cobb, a junior majoring in physical therapy, said the experience had given her insight that would help her to understand her future patients'

I've been there. I know what they're going through. I've had everything they've got," she said. "I'll probably have to go through some physical training." She's weak. I am right now my doctors say everything is ahead of schedule."
At the time of the accident, Cobb was charged with transporting an open container of beer. Cobb's attorney, Jack Focht, Wichita, said that her trial had been set for July 16 in Sedgwick County District Court. She has entered a plea of not guilty, he said.
The trial date is just three days after Grace is to relinquish her crown
State pageant officials canceled Cobb's few remaining appearances after her accident and had expressed uncertainty about whether she would be able to participate in the Miss Kansas Pageant, July 11-13 in Pratt.
But Cobb said, "I'll be there in Pratt. I'll give up my crown."
Even before the accident, Cobb's crown was tarnished. She had to
cancel a number of engagements as Miss Kansas after she and six others were selected to tour Europe with a national sponsor of the Miss America Pageant.
The tour has been beset by a series of delays that have cost Cobb and the others thousands of dollars.
"it's cost us an incredible amount of money, because after we canceled out on an engagement, we couldn't call back and say we could do it now," she said.
Cobb said the troupe was still in existence and that they hoped to tour Europe later this year.
"We have an appearance in July in Atlantic City. I’m not sure if I’ll make it,” she said. “There’s still a possibility that we might go on the European tour after we give up our crowns. We have to wait till after the Miss America pageant now, because Miss America is coming with us.”
Cobb said that the troupe would perform during the Miss America pre-show in the fall
