ITS COLD IN KANSAS—Mrs. Jack Mitchell dresses her son, Jud, 3. for outdoor play as Jiggs, the family's English bulldog, stands guard. (Daily Kansan photo by Jim Linenberger)
She's Growing Accustomed To Us
A trip to 314 Dakota today would find one of Lawrence's newest residents, Jeanne Mitchell, wife of KU's new football coach, busy getting her family and furniture settled into a new location and surroundings.
"I hadn't been in Lawrence often before the announcement of Jack's appointment," Mrs. Mitchell said, "but I planned to go to school here at one time."
Mrs. Mitchell is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. She was a member of Chi Omega social sorority and a psychology major.
The two Mitchell boys, Jud, aged $3\frac{1}{2}$ and Jack, $7\frac{1}{2}$, were not too happy about moving to Lawrence, Mrs. Mitchell said, although they are thrilled now with their new surroundings.
While in the South, Mrs. Mitchell acquired a definite southern accent.
"Their main complaint was that they wouldn't know any of the football players at Kansas," she said. "The oldest of the two also pointed out that we should be happy to come back to Kansas because we were all born here but him. He was born in Oklahoma."
Mrs. Mitchell describes her three years in Arkansas as different from Texas, where Mr. Mitchell coached for two years. "There is a definite air of the Deep South in Arkansas," she said.
"Jack and I have lived in the South for twelve years," she explained. "I also think that people in the Arkansas City and Wellington area talk differently from those in this part of the state," she said.
The coach's wife takes an active interest in her husband's work. She goes to practice sessions often, both
because she likes them and because the Mitchell boys are now quite interested in the game. She also goes on recruiting trips to meet the people in the area and to be able to know players' parents after they have come to school.
"Naturally I still get excited and nervous during games," she said. "However, the more I learn about the game, the less nervous I get. By going to practice and hearing talks, I can see how the plans are going to 'jell' during the game," she said.
Pep Clubs Hear Coach
In a joint meeting at the Student Union Wednesday afternoon, members of Jay Janes and Red Peppers heard assistant basketball coach Jerry Waugh discuss the importance of pep organizations to the athletic teams and the University.
He said that school spirit and good sportsmanship are usually spontaneous reactions when the team is winning, and that it is equally important to maintain an enthusiastic attitude if the team happens to lose.
Firms Schedule Job Interviews
Mr. Waugh expressed appreciation for the pep clubs' support to KU football and basketball teams this year, and asked their continued interest and enthusiasm for the teams.
