Remember "Dial a Prayer" and Dial a Priest"? Now there's "Dial a Coach."
Just dial 913-532-5789 any Monday, Wednesday or Friday and you'll hear a one-minute football rope. Vince Gibson.
The service is just one of several added attractions of the Purple Pride's 1972 football brochure.
Each year just before the season starts, university sports
information departments send out small booklets that give the team's vital statistics, records and season outlook. Most are used in design and contents and are used mainly as press aids.
Not K-State's.
The Wildcats' 80-page full-size, full-color magazine makes other brochures look like cheap imitations. it contains not only new releases but also a team, but such exciting features as a picture of Crystal Smith, a former Playboy Playmate, dressed in blue and they ran on "The Wildcats."
THE BOOK starts out with a family portrait of the Gibsons
Except for Smokey, the pet pooch, almost everything, including the flowers on the coffee table, are purple.
Next there are two Playboy-type interviews—"Vince Discusses the Offense" and "Vince Discusses the Defense."
Q. Technically, will your offense be any different than it was at the close of last season?

7 Medals Possible For U.S. Swimmer
"Spitz has always had the talent to be the greatest swimmer of all time," said the blonde jeteed in a black cap. "We have four gold metals in 16 at Tokyo."
"But Mark was a total failure in the 1986 games in Mexico City. I think, at least I hope, he has been a good leader. I sincerely believe he has."
MUNICH (AP) — Don Schollar says that if American swimmer Mark Spitz "now has adequate mental toughness he can- should- win seven gold in the Olympics at Munich.
If Spizit takes four or five-or-more—gold medals here in Munich, he said, "I'll prove he is a better man than I. But, all the world records don't mean a thing the Olympiad has to big one ... the Olympics."
Scholander and Spitze were both awarded medal after the Mexico Olympics. Scholander has often heard himself and Spitze compared but still remains confident.
Schollander, who lives in Oregon, tacked on medical issues to Johnny "Tarzan" Weismuller as the only man she swims with.
Spitz was only 18 when he flopped in Mexico. After predicting he would cart off six gold medals, the Indiana University sensation won only two relay bronze in the individual events.

Facing a page which has drawings of President Nixon, a yawning graduate, and what looks like Abel Lincoln is a heartfelt essay, "What is K-State," which exolls the virtues of KSU.
To end what could easily become the best seller among former book lovers is an essay by James A. McCarthy, KSU, which defends college and includes quotations of James Roston of the New York Times.
