The 1960 Relays Weekend
KENNETH OLSON, Van Nuys, Calif., freshman, clears the bar at 14-6 in relay competition. He tied for second place.
GARY IRWIN, Kansas City, Mo., junior, Saturday bought a ticket to allow his girl to stay out on a date with him until 1:30 a.m. Sunday. This is half an hour past the usual Saturday night closing hour. Associated Women Students representatives sold the 50-cent tickets.
ELIZABETH RIEDELL, Saiina sophomore,
the 1960 Relays queen.
JOHN BOOK, Kansas City, Kan., senior, greases a horizontal boring mill shown in the 40th annual Engineering Exposition. This mill, displayed by the mechanical engineering department, was one of 18 exhibits in the show.
KU harvested six first-place spots in the 1960 Kansas Relays to win the over-all contest title. The KU wins came in the sprint medley relay, two-mile relay, 400-meter hurdles, 1,500-meter run, javelin and 100-yard dash events.
A float built by Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and Alpha Phi sorority won first-place in the Greek float competition. It and the KU band led the Saturday morning parade that included 32 units with 11 floats.
Students, Lawrence residents and visitors scurried last weekend to view the KU victories, the annual parade in downtown Lawrence and the 40th annual Engineering Exposition.
Electronical engineers won top honors for their exposition display in which they measured electronic signals from muscles and the human brain. Some 20,000 viewed the 18 exhibits in the annual show.
Approximately 200 couples Saturday night danced to the Relays Dance music of Jay McShann's band of Kansas City, Mo. Undergraduate women were allowed to stay out until 1:30 a.m. Sunday if their dates purchased special tickets costing 50 cents each. Some $390 from these tickets went in a women's memorial scholarship fund.
"SPORTS THROUGH THE AGES" is the parade theme. Sororities and fraternities worked together in building floats for judging competition. Phi Kappa Psi and Kappa Kappa Gamma entitled their float shown above "Footsteps in the Sands of Time."
