KU Royal entry chosen
Pamela Brackett, a brown-eyed, brown-haired beauty, representing Delta Delta Delta sorority, was selected yesterday by a panel of judges to represent KU in the 1968 American Royal Queen competition in Kansas City, Mo., next month.
Miss Brackett is a senior majoring in English from Lake Quivera in Kansas City. A transfer student from Baylor University in Texas, she came to KU last fall as a junior.
"I just sat there," the attractive coed recalled upon notification that she had been selected

Work hours cut by lack of funds
Students and workers employed by KU will not be allowed to work more than 40 hours per week beginning Feb. 1, 1969, due to lack of funds for overtime pay.
Students other than teachers and KU civil service employees may now work up to 42 hours per week. Employees working more than 42 hours must receive compensation under the Federal Minimum Wage law.
This compensation may be administered either by reduction in the number of working hours per week or by overtime pay of time and a half.
Ray Nichols, vice-chancellor in charge of finance, said it was necessary to the University budget to keep overtime pay minimal.
"We've had to hold overtime employment down. The state has made no provision for overtime that must be paid in cash. The Board of Regents has asked the institution to restrict cash payment of overtime," Nichols said.
KU students and civil service employees are now receiving $1.15 per hour.Fifteen-cent per hour increases are to be implemented annually until 1971.
Students still changing courses
No one knows yet how many students are enrolled in pass-fail courses.
Registrar William L. Kelly said no figures are available yet because many students did not specify a pass-fair course, and because students are still changing courses.
Kelly said the statistics should be available late this week.
The College Educational Committee originally decided that if a student did not specify during enrollment which class to take pass-fail, he would lose his opportunity to take a pass-fail course that semester. Due to the confusion during registration, the College decided to give the students the first week of classes to officially make a decision.
"This is a new system, and the committee wanted to give the student an opportunity to enroll in the right class," Kelly said. "That is what we at the University are here for; our primary function is to serve the students."
as KU's candidate. "Needless to say, I was delighted!"
The contestant describes it as a big responsibility to follow former KU royalty in the American Royal competition. Elizabeth Harris, a Delta Gamma from Lawrence, reigned as American Royal Queen last year, while in 1967 Cindy Hardin, Pi Beta Phi from Lincoln, Neb., was crowned princess. In the last eight years, five KU coeds have reigned as queen.
In the Kansas Union English Room yesterday afternoon, the 33 contestants were asked a variety of questions. Miss Brackett said that she was asked to expound on white racism. "I feel that it is an unfortunate result of something bred into people. It is inescapable by the time they are adults."
