THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KU singer to appear on TV show
A University of Kansas coed will fly to Los Angeles later this week to appear on the All-American College Hour television show.
Miss Sandy Gresham, Prairie Village senior, won a spot on the show after singing "Blue Moon" in an audition searching for talent for the show.
Paul Gray and the Gaslight Gang, a dixieland group composed of eight KU students, auditioned along with Miss Gresham early in November. They were also selected for the program.
Miss Gresham, who sang recently at the Military Ball, has traveled around much of the
world singing for military personnel.
She sang with a group which was one of four allowed to remain in Southeast Asia during the Communist Tet offensive.
The singer said she met former KU students scattered all over the world. "They always asked the same question, 'Is the Campanile still there?' and, 'Do they still make love at Potter lake?''" she said.
Miss Gresham said Americans do not get the correct impression of the extent of fighting which takes place in Korea. She said constant skirmishes break out. "It sounds like they're quail shooting," she said.
Gaslight Gang rich after Hollywood trip
One thousand dollars richer, Paul Gray and the Gashouse Gang have returned to KU.
The Gaslight Gang, a dixieland group composed of eight KU students, went to Hollywood Thursday to tape the All-American College Hour show. This is a television program featuring the talent of college students throughout the nation.
By winning this competition, which will be shown Jan. 9, the
Ballad Center needs bus money
The Ballard Community Center needs a bus and is sponsoring a rummage sale Friday and Saturday to raise the money.
The bus is needed to transport children to and from tutoring classes offered at the center.
The sale will be located in the Lawrence Community Building at 115 W. 11th St.
"We expect to collect about $200 from the sale. We have a basement full of clothes, appliances, furniture, toys and miscellaneous items to sell," said Tim Jacobs, Mission senior and chairman of the sale.
Gang has earned the right to appear in the semi-finals.
"We'll return to Hollywood in February to tape a show again. If we win, we'll receive $1500 and the chance to advance to the final competition. The winner, there, receives $5000," Paul Gray, Windsor, Mo., senior and bandleader, said.
The celebrity judges for the competition in which the Gaslight Gang appeared were Sebastian Cabot, TV star in "Family Affair;" Ruth Buzzi, of "Laugh-In," and Mike Connors, of "Mannix." The host was Dennis James.
"While we were there, we signed with a booking agency," Gray said. "This summer we'll be based in Hollywood and will appear on a number of variety shows. We're also going to do a five week USO tour overseas," he said.
Gray said they auditioned for a number of variety shows and are awaiting to find out if they've been selected.
