The Oread parking lot will serve as the colorful country fair background for the chain of entertainments which will climax the KU centennial celebration Saturday around Potter Lake.
Starting at 10:30 a.m., a carnival will mark the opening of a four and a half hours of fun.
Yesterday, the Midland Entertainment Company of Plattsburg, Mo., began assembling six rides. A merry-go-round, tilt-a-whirl, octopus, crack-the-whip, lop-o-plane and umbrella rides will provide excitement for adults and children
THE FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, junior and senior classes will participate as separate groups in every competition, according to Jama King, Lawrence sophomore and chairman of Student Jubilee Day. Classes will be identified by particular colors, she said.
Contests will include boat and potato sack races, pie-eating, greased pig, stake driving and tug-of-war contests.
One of the highlights of the class competition will be a canoe race between class officers. The officers of each class will board a canoe and paddle to the finish.
"Class competition events such as an 1890 bathing suit contest, folk music and good food will make the Jayhawk Jubilee a day to be remembered for a long time," Miss King added.
One senior class officer was heard to comment if the canoe would be safe with the portly Richard Pratt, Olathe senior, in the canoe also.
A trophy will be awarded for the best class performance.
Saturday classes will be dismissed for the event.
AT 8 P.M. SATURDAY, Allen Field House will be the scene of the centennial dance featuring Johnny Rivers, the Fabulous Flippers and the Blue Things.
Tickets are $1.50 per person for the Saturday dance and go on sale at the Information Booth, Kief's Records and Weaver's Department Store.
The appearance of Johnny Rivers, The Flippers and The Blue Things will replace the Jan and Dean Concert which was announced earlier for Saturday night.
The Centennial Ball which was to feature Lee Castle conducting the Jimmy Dorsey Band has been cancelled, it was reported.
The centennial jubilee will climax the week of celebration denoting the KU centennial. Other features throughout the week included all student convocations featuring former chancellors, Deane W. Malott, and Franklin D. Murphy.
LBJ seeks more jobs
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—(UPI)President Johnson wants public and private employers to "increase by at least a million" the summer job and training opportunities for young Americans in 1966.
He outlined the goals in a statement late Monday accepting a task force's recommendation for a second year's program to keep 16 to 21 year old boys and girls gainfully occupied while out of school.
"In 1966, we can, in my judgment, increase by at least a million the work and training opportunities this summer for our boys and girls-in a way that is good for them and good business for all of us."
"Some of these youngsters will be looking for temporary summer jobs," Johnson said. "But getting those jobs may be the difference between being able to go back to school or not going back.
"Almost a million of them will be trying to find their places in life, trying to become independent, self-sufficient. . . .
Johnson said the nation had done this in 1965, first year of the youth opportunity campaign.
He said if the nation fails its youngsters this year, it will mean that one of of every six white, and one out of every five non-white will not find work.
