KU signs nation's best
By DON STEFFENS Assistant Sports Editor
KARL SALB
Track coach Bob Timmons signed an outstanding prep weightman to a national letter of intent Monday.
Karl Salb, a 6-3, 225-pound shot putter-discus thrower announced he will attend KU on a track scholarship during his graduation exercises from Crossett, Ark., high school last night.
He was highly sought after by Southwest and Southeast Conference track powers but narrowed his final choice to KU and Texas A&M, where world shot put record-holder Randy Matson attends.
"We're real pleased to sign Karl," Timmons said, "he's not only a great athlete, but also a fine individual."
He visited the Jayhawk campus the weekend of the Big Eight Indoor track meet and was given a tour of the KU School of Pharmacy. His father is a physician in Crossett and Salb plans to major in pharmacy.
SALB HAS SEASONAL BESTS of 66-9 3/4, best this year by a high school senior, and 184-4, one of the country's top marks.
Salb will become part of a KU tradition of excellent field men, a list that includes Olympians Bill Nieder (shot put), Al Oerter (discus), and Bill Alley (javelin).

Beauty queen looks ahead
Next stop: Miss Kansas
By MARILYN ZOOK
The new Miss Lawrence-KU, who has barely had time to get used to the title, is already preparing for the Miss Kansas contest in Pratt June 6-8.
Miss Karen Schlapper, 19-yearold freshman from Prairie Village, was crowned Miss Lawrence-KU last Friday night. Saturday morning she began preparing for her next contest in Pratt.
DURING THE CONTEST she was critiqued and is now working with her sponsors to improve not only her poise but also the physical aspect.
"Getting ready for the Miss Kansas contest is almost an art in itself," she said.
Miss Schlapper said that films are made of her and from these
she works on her walk, make-up,
etc.
FOR HER TALENT in the local contest she modeled and described clothing which she had made. However, her talent in Pratt will be a ballet-modern jazz dance combination. She has been dancing since she was four and with the Kansas City Civic Ballet Co. during high school. She also taught tap dance and ballet.
Just before the Miss Lawrence contest she hurt her toe and was unable to use dancing for her talent. She says she ad libbed her whole talk, but that this was no handicap, as she prefers adlibbing to prepared speeches.
"It scares me to have things prepared," she said. "You can work around mistakes more easily if you talk as you go along."
appearances and speeches which will call on her to ad lib.
Looking ahead to the Miss America contest, Miss Schlapper said she has her doubts. She loves meeting new people and the prospect of traveling, but said she would really miss school.
"Everyone hates the work while they're here," she said, "but I think I'd really miss it."
IN HER ROLE as Miss Lawrence-KU she will make public
'68 shirt hat design voted on
Results of the ballot decision for next year's senior class sweat-shirt, design, hat and colors will be released tomorrow afternoon.
SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT being in a beauty contest would be fun but said she never considered it seriously until her residence hall elected her to represent them. Corbin Hall nominated women in the hall and then voted. Each girl had to present her talent to the hall.
A French major, she does not think that preparation for the Miss Kansas contest will interfere with her finals. She has already started her activities as Miss Lawrence-KU, speaking at a meeting last night.
The ballots, cast by members of the class Monday and Tuesday, were counted last night. But the results had been scheduled to be announced Thursday, Anne Hamilton, Shawnee Mission junior and co-chairman of the Senior Sweatshirt and Regalia committee said.
- Whether to have a sweatshirt or a football jersey. If a jersey is chosen, it will be white with the color lettering.
- The class voted on the following:
- General design to be used for the banner, sweatshirt or jersey and publicity.
- Colors.
- Possibilities for the hat include a top hat, a derby hat, a cowboy hat or tri-cornered hat.
The committee is still inviting ideas from the class members for the motto. They should be turned in at the alumni office, Strong Hall room 127, or sent to Anne Hamilton at the Delta Delta Delta sorority or Nancy Hagemann at the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Jayhawker editor is 'Hill With It' author
Editor of the 1967-68 Jayhawker yearbook will be John Hill, Shawnee Mission sophomore, it was announced today.
Davis is advertising art director on this year's edition and Waldron is copy editor. Waldron also served as associate editor of the third and fourth sections.
The Jayhawker Advisory Board also named Brent Waldron, Denison, Iowa, sophomore, as new business manager. Hill then appointed Paul Davis, West Des Moines, Iowa, junior, to the post of art director.
Hill said, "We know we will try to emphasize the magazine aspect of the Jayhawker. Students will find it more attractive, more like a magazine, which is what it is supposed to be. Through a combination of artwork and copy we want to express the mood and atmosphere of the 67-68 school year."
HILL IS A COLUMNIST and reporter for the UDK and has been named an associate editorial editor for the fall semester.
"I FEEL THE Hilltopper and Hill teacher section should be expanded in some way. The people who are mentioned are certainly deserving of the honor but there are many who are left out," he said.
Asked about an issue which arises every year, party pictures, Hill said, "They do have a part in the yearbook and in college life. I will include them but hopefully the rest of the yearbook will be interesting and readable enough that party pix are not the criteria for a good yearbook to the student body."
Hill said formal applications for remaining Jayhawker staff positions will not be available until next fall but he encouraged interested persons to call him or Waldron now.
"A PRIMARY CONCERN will be meeting deadlines," Waldron added.
"In particular we need a photographer who can shoot during the summer semester, and several for next fall," he said.
