Deborah Daulton holds two titles: Cadet Command Sgt. Maj. in the University of Kansas ROTC program and Miss Lawrence.
Daulton, Salina junior, was crowned Miss Lawrence U.S.A. on Aug. 28 at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts, and will go to the Miss Kansas U.S.A. pateant in Wichita on Oct. 15.
Daulton said her experience in the ROTC has benefited her in many ways and has helped out in her pageant training.
"I was nervous during the Miss Lawrence pageant," Daulton said. "But my officer training has taught me to be under control as well as to think and speak on my feet."
And Daulton said that her pageant training has helped her in her officer training.
Daulton said that she was encouraged by a friend to join her first pageant.
As a sergeant major, I have to speak in front of cadets," Daulton said. "My pageant experience has helped me out with that."
"After one of my labs, a friend stopped me and talked to me about it," Daulton said. "I thought about it and decided to give it a try."
Daulton competed and won her first pageant, Miss Emporia, in the spring of 1992. Miss Lawrence U.S.A. is the fourth pageant she has competed in. Daulton said the three areas that she had been judged in were an interview, a swimsuit competition and an evening gown competition.
Daulton enlisted in the Army after high school graduation in 1991. She attended Emporia State University on a ROTC Scholarship, but transferred to KU after a year there because of financial constraints.
"My sister attended KU, and it was cheaper for me to share expenses with her," Daulton said. "We live together, and we share everything."
Live in the Armed Forces is nothing new to Daulton. "I have grown up an army brat," Daulton said. "My dad has always been in the military."
Daulton said that her dad, who retired as a Command Sergeant Major after 26 years in the Army, was hesitant at first when she told him that she was enlisting.
"My dad knew that it was a lot of pressure," Daulton said. "But he also knew that the hard work paid off."
Daulton became a Sergeant Major in August. She is second-in-command of her battalion.
"As a Sergeant Major, Deborah works very hard," Lt. Kevin Admiral said. "She always has new ideas in helping out the cadets."
Daulton is majoring in Physical Therapy
Dautton is making his six-year helmet "After, I want to work in an airborne unit in the Army," Dautton said. "Then maybe go on to graduate school."
Committee sells KU by phone
By David Wilson Kansan staff writer
Chancellors are like college athletes: The best ones have to be recruited.
To ensure the successful recruitment of the next chancellor of the University of Kansas, some of the 17 members of the chancellor search committee have been calling presidents and chancellors of other colleges and universities this month and asking them to apply.
former chancellor Gene Budig left KU this summer after 13 years to become president of baseball's American League. Del Shankel, professor of microbiology and former executive vice-chancellor, is serving as interim chancellor this year.
Calling high-level administrators to follow up on their nominations is standard procedure.
dure, said T.P. Srinivasan, head of Faculty Executive Committee and a member of the search committee.
"It's in line with what's usually done," he said. "We are interested in finding the best possible chancellor, so the initiative is on us. We have to sell KU."
Srinivasa said that so far, about 50 potential candidates from other colleges and universities had been nominated by their colleagues. Of those, about 20 are being called by committee members and encouraged to apply, he said.
In early August, the search committee ran an ad in the Chronicle of Higher Education asking for applicants for the chancellor position.
But running a want ad is only a small part of the battle, Srinivasan said.
He said that, often, the best potential candidates were satisfied with their current jobs and needed to be encouraged to consider coming to KU.
"People who would like to take charge aren't out there looking," he said. "We have to nudge them."
About eight of the 17 committee members were making calls to potential candidates, Srinivasan said.
Sherman Reeves, student body president and a member of the search committee, said making phone calls to potential candidates was a necessary part of the search process.
"With a position that's as important as the chancellor's, we have to take a more active, aggressive stance," he said. "A lot of times, a president is comfortable where he or she is, so we have to put on our white shoes, belt buckle and plaid pants and a used-car routine to show what KU has to offer."

The Chancellor's house is the ultimate bachelor pad for Randall Griffey, Norton graduate student. this year. Griffey was chosen to live in the house when former chancellor Gene Budig left to become president of baseball's American League.
When Shankel said no, KU sought new tenant
By David Wilson Kansan staff writer
Randall Griffey has the ultimate bachelor's pad this year.
He lives in the chancellor's house.
Griffey, a Norton graduate student, has at his disposal a grand piano, a kitchen with a six-burner stove, two plush living rooms and covered porches galore.
The house, a three-story,
6,179 square-foot Neo-classical mansion tucked behind Blake Hall, was vacated when former Chancellor Gene Budig became president of baseball's American League on Aug. 1.
Chancellor Del Shankel and his wife — who were offered use of the house — didn't want to leave the house they were already living in.
And it would have been a shame to let those four-
star accommodations just sit there and gather dust.
To find an appropriate house sitter, KU's graduate studies departments were asked by the chancellor's office to nominate students interested in living in the house.
Five were selected and interviewed, and Griffey, who also is a graduate teaching assistant in art history, was handed the keys to the Taj Mahal of Oread Hill.
He moved in earlier this week and will live in the house for the school year.
Jim Scaly, assistant to the chancellor, said Griffey would not be paid to live in the house but would be expected to be there as often as possible.
The only inconvenience Griffey may face would be the occasional get-together for administrators, faculty or alumni on the first floor, Scaly said.
Chancellor's house boasts comforts of home
Six fireplaces warm up mansion's 26 rooms
By David Wilson Kansas staff writer
It's not likely that the heat in the chancellor's house will ever be shut off.
But if it ever were, its occupants would have six fireplaces — three on the first floor and three on the second floor — to heat the house.
And to get the entire house warm and toasty, all six fireplaces would be needed.
On the second floor, there is a study, a living room with a fireplace, two bathrooms and three bedrooms, two of which have fireplaces.
The three-story chancellor's house boasts 26 rooms. On the first floor, extending in all directions from the huge foyer and open staircase, there are two living rooms, each with a fireplace, a dining room with a fireplace, a sun porch, a kitchen, a breakfast area and a pantry.
The third floor, which is no longer in use, has a storage room, a living room, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a small balcony.
The basement, which at one time was occupied by male students on work-study scholarships, has seven rooms.
The house was built in 1912 and was donated to the University by Elizabeth Miller Watkins, who lived in the house until she died in 1939.
The first chancellor to live in the house was Deane W. Malot, who was chancellor from 1939 until 1951.
Malott and his wife did most of the decorating and furnishing during their 12 years in the house.
Before 1939, the chancellor's house was a red brick house at 14th and Louisiana. It was later demolished to make room for Douthart Scholarship Hall.

Yellow zone parking spaces are a hot commodity
Parking permits purposely oversold
--yellow zones across campus.
By Ashley Miller Kansan staff writer
Tom Dulac, Mountain Lakes, N.J., junior, was trying to find a place to park. After 35 minutes of useless cruising, he settled for a spot in the lot adjacent to Memorial Stadium.
"I've never liked parking on campus," Dulac said. "I think it's always been a problem."
Students like Dulac may be forced to set aside time every day to look for parking snaces close to campus.
Permits for all parking lots, including the one behind the Kansas Union, are oversold again this year. Dulac and about 7,500 other students are competing for 5,000 parking spaces in
But Donna Hultine, assistant director of the parking department, said the lots were intentionally oversold each year.
"We oversell because we know people that park in lots don't stay in the lots all day," she said.
Permits for yellow zones, which are sold mainly to students, are oversold the most, Hulttine said.
"It's easier to oversell yellow because it's such a fluctuating population," she said.
She said the red zones, reserved for full-time faculty and staff, were over-sold by 130 permits. Blue zones also were oversold by 105 permits, she said. Blue zones are reserved for faculty whose age or age plus years of service to the University equal 60 years.
The policy is we will continue to sell as long as someone wants a permit."she said.
Hultine said she thought a limit could be placed on permit sales for a colored zone if it was consistently filled.
The permits went on sale Sept. 1, and Hultine also said the parking department began issuing parking tickets yesterday. Although the majority of cars ticketed were those without permits, Hultine said some cars were ticketed after their owners had left them parked illegally in full lots.
"I can usually find a space," Kruez said. "I must have to walk five miles."
Brian Krue, Rose Hill junior, said parking hadn't been a problem for him yet because he parked in a yellow zone behind Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Krue said he thought the parking would get worse.
"I think it's going to be a problem during the winter months."

Parking lots are crowded again this year as many students compete for few spaces. Personnel at the parking department say the department intentionally oversells parking permits.
