KU shines in cheer contest
By Bonnie Snyder
Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas cheerleaders have something to jump and shout about even before the first football game.
The 16-member team and the Jayhawk mascot placed second among more than 80 college squads in a cheerleading competition on Aug. 9 at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
The contest was the last event in the National Cheerleading Association clinic, which the cheerleaders attended Aug. 4-9.
"They were really pushed hard this year," said Elaine Brady, the cheerleaders' faculty advisor.
Alice Priest, Wichita junior and a member of the squad, said, "We got up at 8 and worked until 12, then we had a break and worked from 2 until 4. Then we were evaluated, and that lasted until about 9:30. After that, we went out."
"The instructors were really helpful. We learned new chants, cheers, dances and stunts."
Priest said that although many schools had learned the same cheers at the camp, it was unlikely that
squads would perform the same routines.
Rhonda Stroble, Kansas City, Kan.
senior, and Steve Beaumont,
Shawnee Mission senior, the cocaptains of the squad, said they were working on the routines they would perform Aug. 31 - opening day of the KU football season at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu.
"Half the squad will go to Hawaii and half will go to Florida State," Beaumont said.
The KU-Florida State game is scheduled for September 28 in Atlanta.
Cool days greet movers
By The Kansan Staff
The residence halls opened Monday morning not in the usual heat and humidity of a Lawrence summer, but in rain and cool temperatures typical of a day in spring.
Although the day the residence halls open at the University of Kansas has often seemed like one of the hottest, muggiest days of the year, this year students were lucky.
According to the National Weather Service in Topeka, Monday's cool temperatures were caused by the jet stream's shifting to the south. The high for the day was 71 degrees and the low was 62.
But the relief will not last long. Temperatures should be back to normal by the end of the week, with a high of 90 expected on Saturday and a
chance of thunderstorms Thursday and Friday.
Some students moving into residence halls and other housing in Lawrence welcomed the cooler temperatures earlier this week.
Jolene Korr, Highland Park, Ill., sophomore, said, "It made it a little harder because everybody rushed to get their stuff in before it got wet, but everyone wasn't all sticky and uptight."
"It gave a relaxed attitude," said Nancy Brou. Huron somohome.
While most students enjoyed the change, it made the task of moving in more difficult for others, especially students coming from long distances.
"It was a lot harder for me," Danny Lassley, Topeka sophomore, said. "We were coming in from Topeka, and we had to stop a couple of times and check the tarp on the truck."

People Make the Difference!
Have You Heard?
There's a clothing store in town that does things the way they ought to be done - with you in mind. It's a nice, friendly place where personal service is still the name of the game. And though it looks small on the outside, inside they've got the selection of a department store. And their prices are always competitive.
But best of all, they anticipate your needs and desires and take pride in carrying the newest looks in classic quality clothing.
The name of this store? Campbell's. But you probably already knew that.
Didn't you?
