Kansan Dean Is COP 'Good-will Ambassador'
J. Marc Jantzen, College of Pacific's dean of the School of Education, had more than one interest in coming to Kansas as a good-will ambassador.
The college tries to make football trips more than a meeting of brawn by sending two faculty representatives to meet with school officials, and thus make the relationship between the schools larger.
But Dr. Jantzen is a native of Hillsboro, Kansas. Following the game he attended a gathering of 31 relatives at the home of Roy A. Bartel, a graduate student and cousin of Dr. Jantzen. It was brief because the plane with the team left an hour or so after the game.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Then, too. Dr. Jantzen is a graduate of KU. He received his M.A. in 1937 an dhis Ph.D. in 1940.
While on the campus he and Dr. Emerson Cobb, chairman of COP's athletic committee and chairman of the chemistry department, visited the alumni office, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, athletic director, in the field house. Then they visited their respective departments of education and chemistry.

No 'TGIF' Outfit For This Coed
A Clothing I class at the University was discussing the psychological effect that individual moods have on the clothing worn. Everyone of the 11 girls in the class have agreed that her mood each day influenced what she selected to wear.
"In fact," one attractive coed said, "it seems that KU students have a 'GIF' outfit to wear on Friday. At least, everyone always wears something especially bright on Friday."
Sure enough, the next Friday proved the theory to be true. Five of the 11 were dressed in varying shades of electric blue with red or white accents, three others had on gay, print blouses, and two wore colorful sweaters. Only one girl reflected a sour mood—she was dressed from head to toe in brown and black!
Band Day Adds Color To Blazing Jayhawker-COP Game
"I've got to find Osage City—they're in red suits somewhere!" "Oh, look That band has Indian feather beheadresses!"
And so the half-time ceremonies Saturday were greeted by spectators at the KU-College of the Pacific game who watched as 3,000 high school musicians, honor guards, and drum majorettes swarmed onto the KU gridiron with banners flapping and head gear bobbing as they marched.
Having formed the words "KU Band Day, 1956," the band then turned to face the west stadium and Russell M. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, standing high in the bleachers, who directed the combined bands as they played two numbers. The white yard-line markers weer invisible as the musicians crowded the field, their uniforms making a riotous blob of color in the center of the stadium. At least 11 bands were dressed in red and 14 or more were garbed in blue. Maroons, oranges, grays, golds, and black uniforms were also prominent.
Along the sides in the black cinder track stood flag bearers carrying 10 American flags and numerous other flags representing individual bands. Gay plumes and majorettes short skirts waved in the breeze as
drums boome dand cymbals clanged. On the hill at the south of the stadium were other spectators who gathered to watch the afternoon's proceedings.
A silver airplane glittered for a moment in the glare of the sun as it recorded on film the style and precision of the bands' formations as they played.
