KANSA CITY, Mo.-Mother Nature was in a bad mood Saturday but she couldn't muster enough energy to stop the festivities of KU Day at Crown Center.
About 200 people turned out to watch the opening parade at 11 a.m.
The KU Marching Band, accompanied by the pompon squad, yell leaders, the Jayhawk mascot and a Jayhawk float made by members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, marched a short distance from Union Station to Crown Center Square.
The band performed beneath a large white canopy at the square. Plenty of red and blue KU umbrellas were scattered throughout the crowd as people listened and applauded during the hour-long performance.
THE CROWD then moved to an area where more than 40 exhibits were displayed to represent aspects of the KU campus at Lawrence and at the KU Medical Center.
KU Day was an expanded version of "Spring on the Hill," an unsuccessful open house on the Lawrence campus in the spring of 1975.
James Collier, director of University Relations, said last week that KU Day was part of the Outreach concept that made KU available to people throughout Kansas.
Perhaps good weather would have boosted attendance, but most of the people manning the display booths seemed pleased with the turnout.
ELVIRA RAMIREZ, an assistant professor in the School of Social Welfare, said, "The rain hurts, but still a lot of people have stopped who are interested in changes in the school and in the continuing education program."
Some people attend to remember their
memories and to glimpse or to glimpse
future glimpses for the school.
Bobby Douglass, former KU football All-American and now a member of the New Orleans Saints professional football team, stoned to see the exhibits.
THE OLD AND the new were represented in the displays. The museum of anthropology's exhibit of skulls and old artifacts contrasted with 9 nearby School of Engineering's exhibit on an electronic Ping-pong game, by two electrical engineering students.
Across from the Space Technology Center's cloud-seeding exhibit was a contrasting demonstration of pottery firing and classifying.
ROTC had perhaps the most colorful display, with representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines in uniform against a background of flags and posters.
Capt. Richard Braddock, assistant professor of army ROTC, said, "We're just
trying to be part of the University and
military sciences at the same time.
CAMPUS VETERANS acted as a catch-all, representing the Volunteer Clearing House and Student Affairs. Wilson Tyson, representing Campus Veterans, said the main purpose of the display was to tell students about the program, which employs about 20 veterans on the Lawrence campus and 50-75 veterans in off-campus jobs.
Other exhibits included "The Jayhawk Teacher" from the department of curriculum and instruction, a display about Kansas farming, a day-long radio broadcast of the booths by KAUDI radio, portrait drawing and a display on special education.
The Med Center had extensive displays
about occupational and physical therapy, neurology and cancer research and a display showing how pharmacology used Assistant Assisted Teaching System (CATS):
MANY PEOPLE had their blood pressure checked at one Med Center booth.
Larry Baker, an assistant professor at the Med Center, said, "The purpose of taking blood pressure is to point out the importance of primary prevention in health and purpose is not only to educate medical students, but to educate the community."
An exhibit on emergency medical training and health care research was complemented by a display of the Jaystork," the mobile neonatal intensive-care unit, and the Med-Act vehicle for the Johnson County Medical Action program.
More than 400 members of the KU Day crowd came in from the rain to attend an evening concert featuring the combined KU Chamber and Concert Choirs and the Kansas City Philharmonic in the Multimedia Forum Room in Crown Center.
Also drawing attention was a model of the Med Center's clinical facility as it will look in future years.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, entertainment was provided by the marching band, the pep band and the pompon squad. The University Theatre presented a scene from the musical, "Jacques Brell is Alive and Living in Paris," a comedy sketch theatre at Maurine Hawley, and a theatre annus Maureen Hawley, and a tradition of traditional Japanese theater. Also, two afternoon puppet shows were presented by the KU Theatre for Yourn People.
Africans endorse an interim rule
LUSAKA, Zambia (AP)—Presidents of the five "front-line" black African states in South Africa have called Smith's Smith for a surrender of power to Rhodesia's black majority but apparently accepted the principle of an interim government to prepare the way for the black takeover.
The leaders called on Britain to convene a constitutional conference to establish a black-majority interim government, and Britain agreed to do so.
However, the leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the guerrilla struggle against the white minority regime in Rhodesia.
"It is very difficult to understand the Lusaka statement and it is of cardinal importance that if a peaceful solution is to be found, the United States and British courts must as soon as possible clear up the condition which now exists." Verster said.
THE STATE Department said "the road to a neotized solution is now open."
In Pretoria, South Africa, Prime Minister John Vorset issued a statement saying that "the Rhodesian government has fully executed the agreement reached" during talks he and Smith had last week with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Phones tempt few pranksters
"We had one call to an accident that wasn't there," Ellison said, "although there have been a couple of times when someone mistakenly picked up one of the phones."
There have been a few crank calls on the six emergency telephones on campus, according to the KU police department, but he added that the department is being used for hoaxes could materialize.
When one of the emergency phones is picked up, Ellison said, it is answered by the KU police dispatcher who sends a patrol car to the emergency phone if one is needed.
Ellison said the emergency phones could become targets for local pranksters, although few such problems have occurred in the major emergency phones on other campuses.
A spokesman for the University of Oklahoma police department in Norman said that officers had their emergency phone system, although they have had a problem with people calling into the system.
Such emergency phone calls accounted for about 50 per cent of all the calls, Stone said, but they didn't affect the OU police ability to answer real emergencies.
Gt. Neal Stone of the OU police said the OU police dispatcher ignored calls in which he was speaking.

Roy, a Topeka physician who unsuccessfully opposed Robert Dole in the 1974 race for the Senate, was back on the campaign trail in Lawrence. The occasion coincided with County Democratic Central Committee's fund-raising dinner at Off-the-Wall Hall.
Democrat Bill Roy talked with Albert Biggs of 902 W. 28th Saturday night after a democratic fund-raising dinner at Off the
In a 10-minute keynote address, Roy assailed Republicanism in general and Republicans Gerald Ford and Dole in particular. His reward was two standing ovals.
Wall Hall, Roy was at the dinner to deliver a 10-minute keynote address.
Roy wasted little time before criticizing Dole, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, to request courts to register as many voters as possible to the election and reminded them that a handful more votes in each precinct would have given him a victory in the close 1974 election.
The remark brought a long round of applainse from approximately 90 persons
"BOB DOLE would now be lobbying for Gulf Oil, and he'd be getting paid full-time for what he's doing full-time anyway," Roy said.
Roy said he disagreed with charges that Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter would greatly increase federal spending. He labeled the Republican warning that a Democratic president and a Democratic vice president irresponsibly as "an absolute fair tale."
He said both inflation and the federal deficit were smaller during the administrations of Presidents Kennedy and Nixon during the Nixon and Ford presidencies.
LARGE FEDERAL deficits have been building during the last eight years while Republicans were in the White House, he said. He said the size of the federal deficit was determined by both how much money was spent and how much money was taken
"You don't have income into the federal treasury if eight per cent of your people are unemployed and drawing welfare," Roy said. "Tell this to your neighbors, because
"I THINK WE all know better than that," he said. "But we'd better get on the stick and tell our friends and neighbors we know better than that."
Roy also said he disagreed with those who had said it didn't make any difference. He was not a fan of the idea.
"We all remember how John F. Kennedy brought an absolutely new feeling to this country," he said.
they're going to get away with these fairy tales."
HE SAID Ford was now endorsing housing, education and job programs that he opposed the rest of the year. He repeated Carter's charge, made during the first presidential debate last week, that Republicans ignored public welfare
Roy warned local Democrats that Republicans would "trv to dazzle you with their footwork and try to blind the American people with their prejudices."
Negroes and the poor if it made a difference if Lyndon B. Johnson was elected in 1964."
He also criticized Ford for not mentioning unemployment during an hour-and-a-half period.
programs for three-and-a-half years, then supported them before Presidential elec
"What do they want to talk about?" Roy said. "They want to talk about busing, about abortion, about gun control, about prayer in schools."
EACH OF THOSE issues is poorly han-
died by the federal government, Roy said. The public should be paraded before the election, before the election.
Roy said that Jimmy Carter had a good chance of beating Ford in Kansas. He said that Jimmy Carter was the winner State Fair in Hutchinson indicated that Carter had sometimes led Ford by a two-to-one margin.
Much of the Kansas support for Carter is a result of recent grain embargoes that restricted export of the state's crops, Roy said.
"Farmers of this state haven't been fooled," he said. "Those farmers know the embargoes came from Republican presidents."
RYO AID after the dinner that he thought Carter had used the first website to learn English.
"In that respect, the debate served him exceedingly well," Roy said. "President Ford did as well as he could be expected to do defending an indefensible position."
Local Democrat candidates spoke briefly before Roy's address. Mike Glover, candidate for a third term as state representative from the 44th district, explained the effects of his unsuccessful effort in 1972 to liberalize the state's marijuana
GLOVER SAID some voters were concerned but the attempt had harmed his reputation.
"More and more, older legislators in Topoka are coming up to me and saying, 'Glover, I almost think you've got enough sense to come in out of the rain.'"
"But the issue has changed," he said. "Not everybody thinks that because there's a bug of grass in the cubbyhole everybody knows how to get a criminal record. In Kansas they can."
ANOTHER CANDIDATE mentioned drugs, although in a lighter vein. I. J. Stoneback, incumbent county commissioner, reminded the audience he had testified against Vern Miller then who was charged to stop an outdoor concert in Lawrence.
"I thought these students had the right to have a picnic even though there might be a few drugs there," Stoneback said. "There's a lot of other games, and you don'tush them down."
He said that he had "provisionally called off" the planned visit to Washington of Foreign Secretary Brandy Fourie and that "any discussions which may take place" would be concocted by South African Ambassador Roel of Botha.
After deliberating for four and a half hours over the British-American plan to achieve black rule within two years, the leaders of Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Angola and Botswana announced their interim national conference must be held to set up a black-dominated interim government and write a new constitution for Rhodesia.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony Crossland announced in Blackpool, England, that his government had agreed to convene the conference and that a government minister would leave for Africa within 48 hours.
SMITH HAD called for an interim administration even divided between blacks and whites, in which whites retained substantial power.
A communique issued by the five presidents said accepting the plan as outlined by Smith would be "tantamount to a colonialist and racial structures of power."
Crosland said the most sensible course of action for black Africans would be to press for an interim Rhodesian government headed by a black prime minister.
The black leaders said in their statement that the conference should be held outside Rhodesia. Crosland said at a news conference earlier that it should take place inside the country. But in his statement, he asked only that "the parties concerned" say and where the talks "could best be arranged and who the participants should be."
WILLIAM R. Tolbert, president of Liberia, described the countries as "frontline" nations in the struggle for African independence.
Tolbert, in an earlier statement, likened the struggle in Africa to that of the southern United States before the abolition of slavery.
"The situation in southern Africa dramatized anne those prevailing conditions which may have propelled the black American patriot to declare: 'Before I'll be gone, I'll just go home' and "I will home to my Lord and be free," Tobert said in an address at Morehouse College.
'Jayhen' is newest KU bird
The newest colleague in the ranks of Jayhawk spinoffs at the KU Medical Center is the "Jayben," a Jayhawk bird in the carb of a female physician.
The Jayhens joins two caricatured Jayhawks that have found jobs as representatives of the schools of medicine and nursing.
The male doctor caricature is a scrutinizing bird holding a meersham pipe, cane, stethoscope and examining reflector. The bird is the model for the Medicine Alumni Office low.
The female nurse, dressed in a typical cap and dress uniform and carrying a candle and a bent strap, would be the nursing alumail office letterhead.
The insignias are also on needlepoint kits that the Med Center Auxiliary sells at the Med Center lobby and the Kansas University. Proceeds go to the Burnett Burn Center, a 10-patient unit for severe burn victims.
About $3,750 has been donated from the sale of the kits in the last three years.
The designs are takeoffs of the KU mascot, adapted by Gene "Vogi" Williams, a physician and KU alumnus, Williams started personifying the Jayhawk for the KU basketball team in 1940, when he was an undergraduate.
"He had trouble deciding whether to be an artist or a doctor," Pris Owings assistant director of Med Center relations, said last week.
Williams has combined the two professions in his voluntary, nonprofit sketches. The Jayman was created at a postgraduate woman physician.
Although the Jayhawk caricature collection contains a token of the women's movement, it lacks male nurse representation.
