Alums have mixed feelings concerning BSU crowning
The alumni, like much of the student body, viewed with mixed emotions the crowning of the Black Student Union (BSU) queen before the start of Saturday's homecoming game.
Several alumni said they saw no harm in the pre-game ceremony. "I think its all right if that's what they want," one woman said. "I can't see any harm in it."
Another alumnus said the crowning ceremony gave the black students a way to relate to homecoming.
Several persons, however, disagreed with these views. "I think it's very undemocratic when 600
or 700 persons start running this University," one alumnus remarked.
A few persons interviewed said they believed the ceremony was a step backward—toward segregation.
"For years the blacks fought for integration," one person said, "and now they're wanting seperation again. This is nothing more than a move toward separation."
Lorene Brown, Value, Miss. freshman, was crowned as the BSU queen by Darryl Bright, Maywood, Ill., senior and president of the BSU, during the pregame ceremonies. Bright presented Miss Brown with a long spear and a bouquet of long-stemmed roses dyed black for the occasion. The two attendants were Annie Dennis, Wichita sophomore, and Frances Robinson, Kansas City junior.
During the ceremony one BSU member dropped a burning torch, used in the ceremony, setting fire to the field.
During half-time the BSU queen and her attendants, riding in a black automobile, followed the University Homecoming queen's motorcade around the track. The black royalty circled the field waving clenched fists.

Al Winder wants you.
If you're an engineering major, At Winder wants you.
Because he's got something to say.
The company is: the Power & Light Company. The city: Kansas City. A city in the midst of its first real growing pains. A city with many challenges.
About a company. And a city. About challenges. And decisions.
For you, the challenge could be an 848,000 kilowatt power station now in the building stage; 345,000-volt transmission lines in a constantly
growing network; or solving environmental problems such as air pollution or beautification of facilities. All this, and more, to satisfy the human and social needs of the city...and a demand for electric service that will almost double in the next 10 years.
Decisions to meet these challenges can be yours. (But first you must decide to see Al Winder.)
If you do, you'll see he only cares about one thing: whether you're big enough to help a company help build a city.
