THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
79th Year, No.50 The University of Kansas—Lawrence, Kansas Monday, November 25,1969
All-American
John Zook, KU's standout defensive end was named to United Press International's first team All-American squad last night. Zook said he considered his selection "a great honor" and attributed his success to the efforts of his teammates.
Discrimination charged
A suit has been filed in Lawrence Municipal Court charging Mae Burgert, 1807 Ohio St., with violation of the Lawrence Open Housing Ordinance.
The trial, which began last Wednesday, is in recess until the conclusion of presentation of evidence this Wednesday, Gerald L. Cooley, Lawrence attorney for the plaintiff, said.
Negro plaintiff Maurice Woodard, Houston, Tex., graduate student, in the suit charges the defendant with discrimination in housing after he attempted three times to rent a duplex from the defendant in August.
Variety show attracts few
By DONNA SHRADER Kansan Staff Writer
Emily Taylor, dean of women, sauntered onto the stage wearing a tattered commencement robe pushing a mop, and said, "What a hell of a way for a grown woman to make a living."
Dean Taylor was the main figure in her act for the Collegiate for Concern variety show held Friday and Saturday to raise money for Project Concern, an international medical relief organization.
The show could be considered a "flop" if you judge success in show biz by the crowds you draw or the money made. Of the over 4,000 seats in Hoch Auditorium only 125 were filled Friday and between 75 and 100 were filled Saturday. Only $450 was collected from 'ticket sales, falling far short of the hoped for goal.
The small crowd was attributed to the KU-MU game this weekend and the up-combng vacation.
Ticket prices could have been a little high, too, Mike Hall, Oak Park, Ill. sophomore and publicity chairman for the show said.
Dean Taylor with Dr. Raymond Schwegler, Dean William M. Balfour, Dean Francis Heller, Provost James Surface, and Professor Charles H. Oldfather offered their ideas of a 1988 fight for the faculty-administration to re-gain a voice in University affairs.
Songs such as "Where Has All Our Power Gone?" and "We Have Overcome" climaxed the act.
The show had a more serious side from dancing to singing. Delta Tau Delta folksinging group sang "Tobacco Road" and Molly McCray, Mission junior, and John Young, Shawnee Mission senior and co-director of the show, performed a medley of songs from West Side Story.
The show, although not a financial success, was considered "fun" by the cast, and as Dean Taylor said, "It's for a good cause, so how could I refuse."

Miners still trapped
MANNINGTON, W.Va. (UPI)—One of two rescue teams which Sunday entered the Mannington No. 9 mine where 78 coal miners have been trapped for nearly five days reported finding "nothing unusual."
Although they reported finding no evidence of the trapped men, the team report appeared to have lifted the spirits of relatives and friends of the miners.

Jubilant Jayhawks end 9-1

COLUMBIA, Mo.-An hour before the Kansas-Missouri game, tickets were going for as high as $35. One man, holding a ticket triumphantly in his hand, called to a friend.
"I got a standing room," he beamed. He held up five fingers, three times to indicate the price.
At the north end of Memorial Stadium, a capital 'M' made from white stone layed on the stadium's grassy picnic area was quilted with squirmig bodies searching for a flat surface. The huge 'M' looked as if it were an M-shaped cake being devoured by an army of ants.
One half-hour before game time Memorial Stadium looked as if it were ready to spill over. Every seat in the stands was taken and still hundreds of people stood in line at the ticket windows straining and craning for
a look at the field. Ticket scalpers moved quickly and silently through the crowd. It was a good day for scalpers.
The staccato of bass drums boomed on the field and bounded into the stands. Golden-clad majortettes pulled and tugged at their costumes. A few band members polished their instruments with their sleeves. Cheerleaders, walking as if they were on trampolines, prepared the crowd for when the teams would come running onto the field. The crowd responded politely, but there would be no need for much cheer coaxing in this game.
Bands begin
Fifteen minutes before game time the bands paraded on the field eliciting cheers and jeers from the record 62,200 fans, depending upon which band was playing. The smell of popcorn, heavy under the stands in the concession areas, maundered out onto the field and
pirouetted into the sky where hovering helicopters and airplanes appeared to be massing for an attack.
In the press box, film cameras, trained on the crowd and marching bands, whirred while television cameras silently surveyed the pre-game spectacle. Sports writers bolted down Irish stew and coffee provided by the Missouri University athletic department as they waited for the opening kickoff. Tension was high even among the professional sports writers who are known for their objective "coolness" during games. The special loud speaker in the press box asked the Missouri and Kansas writers to "allay" their emotions during the game. Some thought the request was a joke.
The clicking of typewriters and teletype machines was overcome by a sonorous explosion in the stands. The Missouri Tigers had just bounded onto the field and with their appearance, hysteria ruled in the stands.
