'C.C.' Waller Rules as Queen
Milling crowds of people came to a sudden halt Saturday night in the Union to view the crowing of Mary Lucinda ("C. C.") Waller, Girard junior, as 1965 SUA Carnival Queen.
Sharing the spotlight with Miss Waller were eight KU living groups named winners of booth and skit competition.
Miss Waller, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, was chosen by carnival patrons from a field of 32 contestants representing the various KU women's living groups.
Paula Bruckner, Emporia senior, the 1964 Carnival Queen, crowned her successor. Frank Burge, Union director, presented Miss Walla a bouquet of roses and the traditional kiss.
Jan Baum, Dodge City, junior, was named first runner-up and Susan Littoy, Hutchinson freshman, claimed the second runner-up title. Both Miss Baum, a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority, and Miss Littoy, a resident of GSP, received loving cups.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the first place trophy in the men's booth division. "Bye Bye Birdie," the booth title, featured a ball-tossing contest.
Delta Delta Delta captured the women's booth title with "Oliver Twist." Contestants attempted to pick colored手kerchiefs from the pockets of girls moving around in a dark environ.
the second-place trophy in women's boots was captured by Kappa Alpha Theta with "Hello Dolly". Contestants in this booth had to burst balloons forming the bustle of a model woman of the late 19th Century using bottle caps shot from a slingshot.
Alpha Kappa Lambda captured the men's skit title with their rendition of "Little Melba Moonshine," a take-off on "Little Mary Sunshine."
Delta Chi's skit placed second in the men's division with "Belli Hi." The skit portrays a group of soldiers, lost and disconsolate, deep in the jungles of Viet Nam.
The first-place trophy in women's skits went to Pi Beta Phi's "Sinderella," a story of a poor, mistreated college girl who is given her break in life by her fairy godmother, Emily.
Alpha Omicron Pi, winner of women's skit competition the last two years, finished second with "You Gotta Have a Gimmick." The skit told the story of a young, talentless girl who has a great entertainer for a mother.
5421/2 Gallons Consumed Seniors Shout, Dance In Two Riotous Days
By Jerry Kern
The thirsty crowd consumed 35 kegs of beer, or $ 542 \frac{1}{2} $ gallons.
Seniors participated in a three-pronged attack this weekend to celebrate the joy of belonging to the Class of '66.
The fun and games began with the issuance of nearly 2,000 senior ID's, sweatshirts, and red cowboy hats at the senior coffee Friday Morning.
Underclassmen stared in wonderment as seniors spilled across campus in their new senior attire. The seniors could be seen from several blocks away. By Friday night, they would be heard from several blocks away.
A PULSATING sea of red cowboy hats kept time to the music of the Shadows. However, dancing became a problem as the evening progressed because of the multitudes on the beer-slick floor.
From 8-12 p.m. Friday, seniors and their dates revealed at the senior party at the National Guard Armory.
Editor Joins Hall of Fame
THE CROWD varied from 1300 to 1800 throughout the evening, according to Bob Woody, Bartlesville, Okla., senior class president.
A sod dugout marked the observance of the annual KU Editor's Day Saturday with about 200 journalists attending.
who was named to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame as its 49th member by Kansas editors who have served 25 years or more.
The dugout referred to the birthplace of the late Earl Fickertt
FICKERTT WAS BEST known for his service as president of the Kansas Press Association and his 25 years as secretary of the Southwest Kansas Editorial Association.
Because of the floor situation, any kind of fancy dance step was nearly impossible. Many
Then Warren Agee, new dean of the school of journalism, dealt with his hopes for the future of the school and the professors. He expressed optimism in maintaining the high standards of the school despite a 28 per cent enrollment increase.
From the age of 10 when he got the journalism "bug" on the newly established "Sylvia Sun," Fickerrt went on to become printer and publisher of that paper before working on newspapers in Stafford, Lewis, Montezuma, Nickerson and Peabody.
discovered this as they suddenly found themselves looking at the ceiling girders instead of their partners.
Agee said the newspaper could be used as an effective educational tool in the classroom. He added it was a serious matter that there are so many students "who can't tell the difference between news and opinion."
ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE of the party was decidedly "wet," no arrests or damage were reported.
Several hundred seniors gathered the following morning at 8:30 in the big tent of Memorial Stadium for a "morning after hangover breakfast."
"We had no trouble whatsoever. It was a great party," reported Bob Woody.
"It's like walking on ice," yelled one unsteady senior as he guided himself and his date along while hanging on to a chair which he pushed ahead of him.
The breakfast seemed to be appropriately named. The somewhat subdued seniors grunted and groaned and enjoyed apple strudel, tomato juice, coffee and sausage.
"I can remember going, but I don't remember leaving," said one coed.
Miss Fowler's schedule for the next week and a half is hectic. She will appear at various civic clubs this week to help promote the Royal. Next week she will attend the Royal several times.
Most were able to see again in time for the Saturday afternoon KU-Iowa State football game. The red-hatted seniors gave this year's well scrubbed senior yells as they watched the Jayhawks go down to defeat.
KU Coed Is Royal Queen
"Radiating" was the word used by last year's American Royal queen, Mimi Frink, Lawrence senior, to describe this year's winner, Debbie Fowler, Topeka junior.
AFTER THE CROWNING by the president of the Royal, the new queen and her escort led the BOTAR (Belle's of the American Royal) Waltz which began the ball.
Miss Fowler, whose father is a Baptist minister, has lived in Salt Lake City and traveled through South America, Russia, and parts of Europe with her parents. She moved to Topeka just before her freshman year at KU.
Miss Fowler was told she had won Friday morning and was crowned at the 23rd annual Royal Coronation Ball Saturday night. The ball was held at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City and was attended by 8,000 people.
BOTH MISS FRINK and Miss Fowler are members of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
"Debbie was thrilled; she was regal, yet humble at the same time," said Miss Frink

Johnson 'Restless' Today After Uncomfortable Night
WASHINGTON — (UPI)
President Johnson was "restless and uncomfortable" today after spending his most unpleasant night since his gall bladder surgery three days ago.
But Johnson, for the first time since his operation, took a few steps unassisted. His doctors said the President's discomfort was "not unexpected" and he was recovering on schedule.
Johnson met with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey for about 55 minutes today to discuss foreign and domestic matters.
Topics included;
- A review of intelligence reports "from various parts of the world, particularly including the continuing India-Pakistan situation, the Dominican Republic, some situations in Africa including Rhodesia, and several other aspects of European policy the President is looking at."
- The possibility of a visit to this country in November by West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard.
- On the domestic front, some "aspects of legislation that is coming to the President for signature" including the foreign aid and farm bills. Also, items pending in Congress such as a House-Senate conference in the higher education bill.
- Legislation to provide home rule for the District of Columbia "and the hope both men have for

In a lighter vein, Moyer said Humphrey also "gave the President a briefing on the World Series and a prognosis for its recovery, in his language."

Since 1891, when they clashed on the gridiron for the first time, the rivalry between KU and the University of Missouri has remained strong.
KU Will Race MU In 'Spirit of Giving'
During the next two weeks KU students will again be striving to "Beat the Tigers," not at football, not at basketball, but at generosity.
The two schools have entered into competition in simultaneous Campus Chest Drives. A trophy will be presented to the winner at the half-time of the football game between both universities, on Nov. 20.
CARL STRUBY, Leawood junior and secretary of the ASC Public Relations Committee, said that in addition to soliciting the various living groups on campus, collection tables will be set up in the Kansas Union and the rotunda of Strong Hall on Wednesday and Thursday of this week and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
Struby said the proceeds of KU's Drive will go to the United Fund, World University Fund and the Heart Association.
CAROL JEAN ENGEL, chairman of the Campus Chest Bureau at MU, said they are aiming for a goal of $7,500.
She said that besides solicitations, they have planned three functions for gathering funds. Ten cent donations will be asked of students attending the free movies offered by the university on Sunday nights. A candy-apple sale will be held at the MU-UCLA football game, and an auction of articles donated by the University's lost and found department will also be held.
MISS ENGEL SAID the proceeds from the MU Drive will be divided up as follows: 30 per cent to the MU Scholarship Fund, 20 per cent to the MU Student Loan Fund. 20 per cent to the United Fund and 20 per cent to the World University Service Fund.
Bill Ramey, Mankato junior and chairman of the KU Campus Chest Drive, said he hopes the competition will boost the Drive which has done poorly the last three years.
