Tour seeks talented Jayhawks
'Seventeen' magazine event features contests, samples
By Corrie Moore Kansan staff writer
Models, actors, comedians and musicians can strut their stuff in front of the Kansas Union today and show their talent in hopes of becoming a star.
Student Union Activities is sponsoring this stop on the Seventeen on Campus Name Your Fame tour. Although this is the second year of the event, 1997 is the first year the event has come to Lawrence.
Kielyn Scott, Wichita junior and SUA's special events coordinator, said the magazine decided to come to Lawrence because it had not been here before.
The tour will be in front of the
Union from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. to give students an opportunity to shine at several different activities.
Students can model on the runway and take pictures. Solo or band performances must be acoustic with no more than four members and are limited to five minutes. Students can try to make people laugh during a stand-up routine and actors can read from their own scripts or ones provided. Or, if students have some other talent they want to express, they are welcome to try.
People not looking to be "discovered" can get make-overs, manicures or get their hair done.
There will also be a mock photo
shoot, and students can get free advice from Seventeen's wardrobe experts. There is a sweepstakes for the chance to win a 1998 Plymouth Neon. Free product samples and door prizes are offered from tour sponsors, including Chanel, Clairol's Herbal Essences, Plymouth and the Discover Card.
The winners will be pictured in the early Spring 1998 issue of Seventeen. Every winner will receive a $100 dollar gift certificate.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun for students," Scott said. "Someone might even get discovered."
Marketing Mix, a St. Louis company hired by Seventeen magazine, called SUA to ask if the University of Kansas wanted to be one of the ten stops on its nationwide tour. Seventeen puts on the event across the country from September through October.
"How often do you get to be involved in something like this?" Scott said.

Madl said that the planners were really excited about the event because the football team would attend this year. Organizers expect a larger crowd than the couple of hundred people that attended last year.
"We would like to see a thousand," Madl said.
Vendors will sell food and drinks.
The Sand Bar plans to roast a "pork tiger," a hog with a face made to look like a tiger, Madi said.
A street party and dance will follow the pep rally. The Lonnie Ray Blues Band, along with others, will provide the music.
Tomorrow, Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St.; Old Chicago, 3293 Iowa St.; and the Heartland Garden's Grill in the Holidome, 200 McDonald Dr., will hold tailgate parties from 9 a.m. until kickoff. The three
restaurants hold the pregame festivities before every home game, Carter said.
Buses run between all of the establishments and the stadium. Carter said that the buses alleviated traffic and provided safe transportation for those who had been drinking.
