A black silk organza-and-rhinestone evening gown and a red swim suit weren't the only special things Nancy Lynn Cobb packed last week before she left for the Miss America pageant.
She also took a miniature Jayhawk
it has a crown and a banner and a little KU on one wing," she said yesterday from her hotel room in City. "It's my good luck charm."
In July, Cobb, Wichita junior, won the right to compete in Saturday's Miss America pageant when she was 17 and was assasinated at the state palace in Pratt.
SHE TRAVELED TO New Jersey on Saturday and began the week with a splash on Sunday as photographs of her jumping into a swimming pool as
other contestants looked on were published in newpapers across the country.
"I didn't think the pictures were too attractive," she said, laughing. "We were at a photo session, and the lady in charge said, 'We need a volunteer.' All the girls just stood there in their cover-ups and high heels. There was silence for about 10 seconds, and then I said, 'Oh, I'll do
Monday, Cobb was featured with Miss Kentucky on "Good Morning America."
"I didn't get to see it, but I was thrilled," she said. "They did not interview us or anything They just went down the caesaral and evening gown rehearsal."
The recent publicity over Vanessa Williams' mude photos and subsequent resignation has drawn more press than ever to the pageant, Cobb.
said. "We have been told that there are about one quarter more (reporters) here than last year. They ask all kinds of questions."
"THE PRESS IS CRAZY," she
One reporter asked Cobb if she had ever been photographed nude.
"He kind of gasped and stared at me when I said yes," she said. "Then I told him it was him I was about one or two, and on a bearskin rug."
This year's contestants didn't have to sign any special statements about the results.
"We all just want it to be over with so we can get on with the pageant." she said. "It has created a lot of interest and brought a lot more press to the pageant. Ticket sales are up 20 percent, but sales are not up as much as is sold out. We think it will turn out to be a positive experience in the end."
CORB HAS HEARD THE computer predictions that she'll be a finalist, but she's not taking them to heart.

Commission OKs airport contract
Staff Reporter
The Lawrence City Commission last night ratified by a 3.2 vote a contract to build a new terminal at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Amyx said his vote was consistent with his philosophy about the terminal.
Commissioners Nancy Shontz and Mike Amyx voted against ratifying the contract, for reasons stemming from the contract's original conception last year.
"We need maintenance facilities for the pilots and their planes before we need a terminal." Amyx said after the meeting. Then, airport traffic could be increased to the height of the terminal would be needed, he said.
Shontz agreed, but stressed technical assistance for pilots as a necessity before a terminal could be built.
Shontz and Amyx have been at odds with the other three commissioners, whose opinion is that building the terminal will attract more traffic to the airport, Shontz said.
Shontz also objected to the contract because she thought that the project was too expensive and that it would be collecting the final design was unfair.
"The eventual winners of the competition had several months longer to work on their project," she said.
Wited Securities, a bonding firm from Wichita, had agreed to buy the bonds for the terminal months before the selection competition, Shontz said, giving the eventual winners the advantage of having their financial package prepared at the time of the selection.
Michael Treanor, who with Allen C. Belot was assigned the contract to design the terminal last June, said
the two had been working on the drawings and expected to finish them in November. The bidding for the terminal contract will begin when the drawings are finished, he said.
In other action, the commission:
- Approved a site plan for the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.
An office of the Trading Post and a vintage car lot will occupy the site, which was originally a Snappy Gas Station.
*Approved a site plan for Pinecrest Apartments, 2522-2560 Redbud Lane.
Jeff Messick, of Walter Hicks Associates, the firm representing the site plan, said the plan was basically a rehabilitation of the 16 four-plexes and parking areas in the development.
- Accepted a petition to pave the portion of Ridge Court near 27th Street.
