Nearly 200 apply Playboy hopefuls interviewed
By JANET MURPHY Staff Reporter
A small, hand-printed sign was taped to the door jam.
It read. "Plavboy."
A woman hesitated in the open doorway. In her hand she clutched a large manila envelope.
"Mr. Chan?" she inquired.
"Hi. Yeah. Come in. Come in," he said.
She took a seat at the round table in the motel suite; another KU woman, hoping to make it into the pages of Playboy magazine.
She took the application form and completed the necessary information: name, age, physical attributes, other honors and awards.
David Chan, Playboy photographer, looked through the pictures the woman had brought with her.
"Okay, let's get a picture of you," he said, stepping into the dressing area of the motel room.
He positioned her against the mirror, clicked the Polaroid and ripped the film out.
After about a minute he peeled off the cover and handed her the photosite.
"Oh, it's not very good," she said, wrinkling her nose.
"It's fine," he answered.
They came and went throughout the afternoon. Some were there just for the ride, others to go to the park.
posing for the magazine famous for its beautiful women
Chan said the worker usually didn't like themselves in the photos.
"THEY ARE their hardest critics," he said.
A wall in the Ramada Inn room was bedecked with banners from all the Big Eight schools and T-shirts from the Oklahoma schools, Colorado, Kansas State University, the University of Kansas and Playboy.
Chan said he had booked about 150 appointments by yesterday afternoon and he expected about 200 women to come in.
The phone rang throughout the afternoon. Sherral Snow, Chan's assistant, told one caller to wear a mask and take off her shoes to bring pictures if she had them.
She said this was the fifth college conference in which she has worked with Chan.
Snow has worked for Playboy for about six years. She was formerly a bunny in the Dallas Playboy Club.
The girls are pretty much the same from conference to conference, she said.
The women who came in yesterday afternoon had various reasons why they came for the interview.
LISSA WHITACRE, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said she came in because it was a once-n-c-a-f-t-i-l-e-fe-n-ch-e chance to see her classmate. She was interested in the clothing shots.
"It's something to show my grandchildren,"she said,smiling.
Laurien Griffin, Merriam senior, said she play thoughty Play was an exciting magazine and featured some of the most beautiful women in the country.
She said her parents were supportive of her decision to interview with the museum.
Griffin said she was not interested in a modeling career.
"I'm in civil engineering," she said. I like rocks and dirt."
Later, a group of five women sat in the room. They waited and waiting have their pictures taken.
"It's a good experience."
Their responses were varied when asked why they were taking the chance. "Money."
"We can say we did it."
Lisa Larson, Western Spring, Ill.
junior, said it was something she
thought she had to do.
"I always would have wondered if I hadn't done it," she said.
"My mom laughed and thought it was great," Nancy Socolof, New York, N.Y. junior said.
Tiene Hayworth, Overland Park freshman, said she and her roommate were just sitting around their residence and playing Playboy and they decided to come in.
"It's something different," she said. "My boyfriend takes Playboy.
"I just thought it would be fun."
Two more girls wandered in, a bit bewildered.
"Come in. Take an application," Chan said.
On the record
Lawrence police arrested a 24-year-old Lawrence woman yesterday for disorderly conduct.
Police said Katherine Fowler, 1140 Heatherwood Drive, was arrested at 4:30 a.m. at her residence after she allegedly set fire to a mattress and acted in a way that alarmed and endangered other residents at the property. Lawrence Lawrence fire department also answered a call at the woman's apartment.
A police officer went to Fowler's apartment to check on her welfare, police said.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital officials had alerted police that Fowler might be in danger after she had called the hospital. Earlier he had apparently been treated for a blood sugar deficiency, police said.
When an officer arrived at the
apartment, he saw smoke coming from under the door. He entered the apartment and found smoke coming from two places in a mattress. The police officer called the fire department to extinguish the fire.
Fowler was unconscious when the firefighters arrived at the apartment. The police officer called an ambulance. Fowler regained consciousness and refused to return to the hospital.
Police Sgt. Mike Reeves said Fowler was arrested for her own protection on charges of disorderly conduct.
Firefighters extinguished the fire and reported that a cigarette caused the blaze. Fire officials estimated that damages were $100.
Fowler is being held in the Douglas County jail on $500 bail.
KU POLICE reported a stolen car
sometime between March 12 and Monday from the Templin Hall parking lot.
Police said an unknown person possibly used a key to take the car. The car is valued at $400.
