Homecoming Queen's week a hectic one
KU's new Homecoming Queen Janet Merrick, Prairie Village senior, will be going out with her two attendants some time this week, not for a victory celebration, but for a thank-goodness-its-over celebration.
Not that Miss Merrick and the other two Homecoming Queen candidates didn't enjoy the excitement and the honors given them, but there were some hectic points in the two weeks between the time judging began and last Saturday's game, when Gov. Robert Docking crowned Miss Merrick.
In addition to the preliminary strain of appearing before the judges who were to choose the new queen, Miss Merrick and her attendants, Candice Heavin, Overland Park senior, and Nancy
Watson, Kansas City, Mo., senior, spent a strenuous week touring Kansas, making television and radio appearances.
Miss Merrick, who has a high B-average in personnel administration, said Sunday that she was surprised when she was announced as Homecoming Queen.
"It was something I didn't think I'd ever experience," she said.
She said that there was such good rapport between her and the other two candidates that they didn't care which of them won. She said the girls were very different from one another, but that the three had gotten along perfectly.
"They're just peaches," Miss Merrick said, speaking of Miss Heavin and Miss Watson.
Miss Merrick said that her parents were very proud.
A whirlwind schedule of 10 performances in three days begins today for the University of Kansas symphony orchestra. The orchestra is on its fall tour, and is to appear in five towns in Kansas and Missouri.
Dr. George Lawner, former assistant conductor of the San Francisco Opera Company, directs the KU symphony.
Orchestra's annual fall tour begins
Among the selections to be played on the tour are a suite from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet," the Prelude and Love Death from Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde" and music by Mendelssohn.
Featured soloists on the programs are Carl Pieper, cellist and Tulsa graduate student, and Ken Wiley, French horn player and St. Joseph senior.
Four days after it returns to KU the symphony will present its annual fall concert at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, in the University Theatre.
On its fall tour the symphony is to play at the following schools: Monday, Topeka West High School, Washburn Rural High School and Bishop LeBlond High School in St. Joseph, Mo.; Tuesday, Hiwatah High School, Nemaha High School in Seneea and Clay Center High School; Wednesday, Highland Park High School in Topeka.
FIRE WINS
ST. ANDRE DE LEURE, France (UPI)—Firemen lost their truck in the line of duty. A windswept grass blaze encircled and destroyed the pump track and firefighting equipment while they were trying to put out the blaze.

"My mother was more nervous beforehand than I was," she said.
Miss Merrick comes from a family of four girls, and two older sisters had already been candidates for Homecoming Queen at KU before her. She said, however, that the most beautiful girl in her family is her younger sister, who is 15. Miss Merrick said that her father already had high hopes for his youngest daughter.
Miss Merrick said that in a sense she would never be completely done with her ceremonial
duties as queen. As a representative of KU she will probably be called upon to appear at other KU functions during the year.
"Even though my 'regal reign' is over now," she said, "they know they can always call on me."
