Annette Buhler Reigns Over 42nd Military Ball
Miss Buhler, Lawrence sophomore, was crowned by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe during intermission.
Amidst pomp and circumstance,
Annette Buhler was crowned
1965 KU Military Ball Queen Friday night.
"EVERYTHING JUST went blank, I think I just kept smiling. At first I thought Chancellor Wescoe had just made a mistake." Miss Buhler said after the crowning.
"They had told all of us earlier what to do as queen, but when my name was announced I thoroughly ignored all the instructions."
When her name was announced, Miss Buhler panicked.
MISS BUHLER is majoring in education, and hopes to teach a combined program of social studies, history and English.
Members of Miss Buhler's court were Sally Viola, Abilene sophomore, and Pamela Ransdell, Overland Park senior, representing Navy ROTC; Judith Ericson, Leavenworth junior, Air Force ROTC representative; Melissa Case, Overland Park freshman, and Sharon Stokes, Marysville junior, representatives from Army ROTC. Miss Bubler was an Air Force ROTC candidate.
The Ball was sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, tri-service honorary, and featured the 12-piece Fort Riley Dance Band.

Teach-ins' on Draft Laws Suggested at Big Eight Meet
Student interest in current draft laws and legislation was indicated by a resolution passed Saturday by delegates to the Big Eight Student Government Association Convention at the University of Missouri.
The resolution called for "teach-ins or other informative sessions" to be held at participating Big Eight Schools within the coming year. Previously, a target date of the second week in March was suggested.
THE IDEA WAS formed because students said they felt existing draft laws were unclear and sometimes unknown to students. The panel or teach-in could be made up of professors or experts with special knowledge and students.
During the two-day conference Friday and Saturday in Columbia, Mo., over 40 student leaders from student councils and student senates at Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Kansas, Missouri,
and Nebraska met to exchange ideas and opinions on topics ranging from student governmental structure to student participation in national affairs.
Delegates could attend three of nine meetings held during Friday morning and afternoon. Officers for the coming year were elected and legislation was acted upon Saturday morning.
STUDENT UNREST on campuses across the nation was the main theme of Robert Dickeson's director of student activities, speech at a banquet in the Student Union Friday night.
"A free society must contain the
right to revolt," he told the students, as he defined the direction of student unrest. He urged the upgrading of university personnel and student governments, telling the audience that "student governments are operating in the dark because we are far behind in time."
The conference, an annual meeting of delegates from Big Eight universities, is scheduled for Nebraska.

Arthur Waskow's book amply achieves its purpose as a "guide" into peace politics for the uninformed. He discusses the current world situation—and the way Americans, in particular, look at peace. Mr. Waskow then outlines specific action levers available to the P.A. (Peace Actionist) like "Alperovitzing" (grass roots lobbying), and helps answer such questions as:
Under review this month is a most provocative and timely book, The Worried Man's Guide to World Peace . . . provocative because it is not everyone's political cup of tea, and timely because it fits right into the current series of world-wide peace demonstrations.
- How can I get "Peace" on page one of my local newspaper?
- Are demonstrations an effective means of social protest and when are they put to their best use?
- How does one become effective in local political organizations?
In this day and age of the bomb, The Worried Man's Guide to World Peace (§1.25, A Doubleday Anchor Original) is a must for the student of peace . . . or war.
In his autobiography, Child of Two Worlds (Anchor, $1.25), R. Mugo Gatherer describes his personal odyssey from tribalism to full citizenship in the world Mr. Waskow is worried about. Mr. Gatheru's story is a simple and straightforward one. He tells of ancient customs in which he participated as a young Kikuyu tribesman. He tells how he gradually adopted new values and new customs, especially as a student at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. In so doing, he reveals to us what it has meant to one human being to be a Kikuyu, a Kenyan and an African amid the complexities of modern civilization.
- How can I effectively translate my ideas to the average businessman or civic leader?
To understand Mugo Gatheru's story is to understand the experience of thousands of other young Africans. It is to understand an experience that is a crucial one in a changing, troubled world.
