8 KU Track Stars Compete In AAU Meet at Boulder
A total of eight men from the KU National and Collegiate champion track team are engaged in competition today at the 67th running of the National AAU at Boulder, Colo.
They are Cliff Cushman, Ernie Shelby, Charlie Tidwell, Paul Williams, Billy Mills, Gerald Foos, Berry Crawford, and Jim Londerholm.
Kansas Captain Ernie Shelby is shooting for one of the rarest feats in National AAU history as he goes for a fourth consecutive broad jump crown. Only two leapers in history have won more than three consecutive crowns in this event.
Shelby won his first title in '56 while at Pierce (California) Junior College when he set his all-time career leap of 26-1½. He repeated in '57 with a 25-2½ jump, and again last year at 25-10½. His best leap this year was 25-5 at Lincoln, Neb., where he won his second NCAA crown.
Charlie Tidwell, KU's newly crowned 100-vard dash king, probably will switch to the 200-meter lows, thus giving him two chances to earn spots in the meet at Philadelphia or at the Pan American ensemble in August.
Shelby must win this event if he is to retain position on the U.S. team which meets Moscow next month in Philadelphia. The two top finishers from each event will compose Uncle Sam's team for that meet, save in the 200-meter low hurdles, which will take the top three winners.
The 100-dash will be run over 100 meters, which is the second event Tidwell is running. The 200 will be run around a curve, which Tidwell prefers.
Four other Jayhawk NCAA place winners, plus two non-placers will be shooting for titles today and tomorrow. This lineup includes Cliff Cushman, 400-meter hurdles; Paul
Williams, 220; Berry Crawford, steeplechase; Jerry Foos, diseus; Billy Mills, 3-mile, and Jim Londerholm, javelin. Bill Alley, NCAA champion javelin thrower, won't throw because of treatment to heal his elbow.
The Jayhawks were joined today by three former Jayhawkers, shot putter Bill Nieder; discuss-finger Al Oerter; and hop-step-jumper Kent Floerke. The latter two were members of the U.S. dual team against Russia last year, Oerter placing second and Floerke third. The former has upped his career best this year to 62-9 and crashed beyond 64-0 in an exhibition.
Assistant Coach Rex Grossart is coaching the club in the absence of Head Coach Bill Easton, who left Monday for Malaya where he will conduct a track clinic. However, he will return in time for the Pan-American Games in August.
Union Displays Paintings
An artist who has had exhibits at the Nelson-Atkins Gallery in Kansas City, Madison Square Garden, and the Delgado Museum in New Orleans, has had a collection of his paintings and drawings on display the past week in the south lounge of the Kansas Union.
The exhibit is the work of Edward E. Nichols, who this spring completed his requirements for the master of fine arts degree in drawing and painting at KU—the only master's degree given from that department.
The exhibit included selections from Nichols' thesis project—144 drawings in water colors. The project was a study of imagery taken from landscapes in this locale.
Nichols did his undergraduate work at KU and for the past year was a teaching assistant at Louisiana State University.
Nichols spent four years in the U. S. Navy. He was the overseas editor for the magazine, Trans-Pacific, in Honolulu.

Fireworks Warning Issued by Marshal
TOPEKA — (UPI)— Kansans getting ready to celebrate Independence Day with a bang should heed the warning of Fred Bergman, state fire marshal.
from June 27 to July 5, except where prohibited by ordinances.
In an advance warning, Bergman said nearly all first and second class cities have laws against the sale and firing of fireworks within city limits. Fireworks may be sold legally
Bergman added that last July 4, few Kansas communities escaped fires caused by fireworks. In Sedgwick County, fire departments answered 25 calls to fight blazes begun by fireworks.
Twenty-three per cent of all fraternity and sorority house fires are caused by misuse of electricity.
