Homecoming Panorama Now History
HILLTOP WINNER--- Phi Kappa Sigma's display won the top honor as the best homecoming decoration on campus Saturday. The homecoming theme for this year was "To the Stars Through Difficulty", based on the rocky paths of higher education.
Homecoming 1963 is over, but the memory lingers on.
Many who were concerned with organizing the festivities can relax for the first time in many weeks, others can revel in their triumphs, and those who neglected other duties can bring their everyday chores up to date.
HOMECOMING 1963 was marked by the traditional football game and living group decorations, but a new serious note was added.
This year's theme was "Higher Education—The road to the future." A program on higher education in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union highlighted Saturday morning's activities.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, President James A. McCain of Kansas State University, Alvin B. Cardwell, professor of physics at K-State, Charlton Hinman, professor of English at KU and Breon Mitchell, Salina senior and SUA president, participated in the program discussion.
"Faculty salaries have been justified on many counts," the chancellor said. "Salary increases are fair, professors must put in countless years of preparation, and economic incentives must be increased if young people are to be attracted to teaching and research." WESCO SAID, the National Education Association has estimated that 350,000 new college teachers will be needed in ten years and fewer than 25,000 Ph.D's will begin teaching in colleges in the same period.
The average faculty salary at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University is only a little more than half what it is at Harvard," the Chancellor said. He pointed out that the 1964 budget requests to the Board of Regents aim at making Kansas colleges and universities more competitive at their respective salary levels with other universities across the country.
"When this is done, "he said,
"The winner then will not be me,
nor the faculty who could get salaries as good or better somewhere else, but the state of Kansas and every citizen in it."
"KU AND K-STATE are not 'Johnny-come-laties' in research. The scope and variety of the investigation conducted by our faculties
and the contributions of these studies to the states economy have been prodigious and would place our universities in the top bracket of the state universities for the nation as a "whole." he said.
President McCain added that the expenditures of both universities totaled $10,698,000 last year. "Of this amount only 35 per cent came from state appropriations and the remainder from contracts with industry, foundations, and federal agencies."
"Special attention must be given to three tasks," he said. "First, to keep our facilities modern and up-to-date; second, to maintain and recruit scientists and engineers of distinction, and third, to exploit our present and future resources more effectively."
Elsewhere around the campus, homecoming was in full swing.
FRIDAY NIGHT the varsity and freshman basketball teams clashed in Allen Field House. The varsity squad beat the spirited freshman five 84-52.
Saturday's football game with Kansas State's Wildcats found about 30,000 fans at Memorial stadium just settled in their seats when KU's "galloping" Gale Sayers, Omaha, Neb. junior, returned a K-State punt
Governor John Anderson crowned the queen and presented her with a kiss. Chancellor Wescoe presented her with flowers and a kiss.
64 yards to score with the game only two minutes old.
Once heads looked skyward again as two Navy jets roared low, sideby-side over the stadium . . . just as KU scored its fourth touchdown.
Aye, Aye Pooch!
Friday and Saturday nights were highlighted by the University theater production of "Madame Butterfly" in Murphy Hall Theatre. Kai Winding and his orchestra capped the full weekend playing at the annual homecoming dance in the Kansas Union Ballroom. And then, Homecoming 1963 was history.
Above the crowd a bi-plane with the annual "Welcome TNE Alums" sign trailing behind it circled during the game.
At halftime, homecoming queen Karen Vice and her attendants, Patsy Kendall and Sherry Zillner, were escorted onto the field by the student commanders of the Air Force, Army and Navy R.O.T.C. units. They marched through a corridor formed by the Jay Janes and the Frosh Hawks. The KU band, which had formed a large heart, played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
LONDON—(UPI)—Long Dog, the mongrel mascot of the 1st battalion Royal Ulster Rifles, has been promoted to acting sergeant because of his "discipline, efficiency and turn-out," Lt. Col. Corran Purdon said today.
