Musician Surprises TV Fan With a Visit
It's a rare occasion when one's favorite TV star suddenly drops by for a visit.
That was the predicament Sunday night of Mrs. Marietta Jackson, Foster Scholarship Hall housemother, when Carl (Doc) Severinsen, lead trumpet player on Johnny Carson's "Touight Show," knocked on her door.
"I just couldn't believe it," Mrs. Jackson said. "I had written to him on several occasions because he knows two of my boys, but I didn't receive an answer."
Mrs. Jackson was referring to Alvin Lowrey, Winfield senior, and Roy Guenther, Breckinridge, Okla, junior, both residents of Foster Hall and members of the KU Brass Choir
She said Severinsen had stopped by to apologize in person for not answering. He was on his way from Emporia where he had just completed a clinic for high school trumpet players and a one night engagement with the Emporia State Teacher's College Band.
"He told me that his wife usually does all the correspondence in their family," Mrs. Jackson continued, "but somehow she missed answering my letters."
Severin森 stayed only a few minutes since he was due in Paola for a concert last night. He will return to New York for the Tuesday night "Tonight Show."

M, ASIS, 22 Ave. de la Liberte, Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
But what did they talk about? "Just things in general — his five children and the TV show," Mrs. Jackson said. "He's really a very friendly fellow," she added.
Severinsen, a native of Arlington, Ore., has been an NBC staff musician 14 years. He fills in for Skittch Henderson as conductor when Henderson is absent and is known on the "Tonight Show" for his humor. In his off-time from the show, Severinsen teaches trumpet at band clinics in colleges and high schools across the nation.
Heart of America
KU Debate Teams Chosen
Surprised and honored -- that's how the six chosen debaters felt when Donn W. Parson, head debate coach, announced the KU teams for the Heart of America Tournament.
By Joyce Outshoorn
This tournament, to be held at KU on March 11, 12 and 13, is one of the largest and most important debate tournaments in the country. About 60 colleges from all over will be entering teams.
"Mr. Parson never announces his choice until two weeks before a big tournament," she said.
SHARON Mahood, Springfield, Mo., sophomore, and the only girl on the team, said that none of the debaters were sure about their chances of being chosen until the last minute. Teams are chosen mainly on a fast record.
Miss Mahood, with her debate partner, Jim Klumpp, Coffeyville freshman, has a 65 per cent win and loss record. In the Heart of America tournament they will be competing together for the sixth time.
ASKED HOW HE felt about competing against seniors Klumpp said it was a lot rougher than debating in the junior division. Both Miss Mahood and Klumpp felt it was more of a challenge. Miss Mahood added that it was a good way to learn to debate faster.
Both Miss Mahood and Klummm have had high school experience. Miss Mahood has had four years, Klumpp three. In his last year in high school Coffeyville was state champion.
Louis Floyd, Topeka sophomore, and Judson Briegel, Kansas City sophomore, form the second team for the tournament. They have had high school experience also. Floyd has had four years and Briegl three. They have been debating
together since October of last year.
Their record is 18 wins, 8 loses.
