Coeds vie for queen of fling
Spring Fling Queen will be elected by men students from three nominations submitted by KU independent coeds. Nominees are Candy Allen, Lawrence freshman from Oliver; Jan Graham, Lawrence sophomore from Watkins Scholarship Hall, and Connie Kingry, Lawrence freshman from McCollum Hall.
Spring Fling week, April 24-30 will unofficially begin with team pairings for competitive events. Men and women students will meet at hour dances and exchange dinners April 24-26.
Voting for queen candidates will take place on April 24-27 at the information booth in front of Flint Hall on Jayhawk Boulevard.
OFFICIALLY, SPRING Fling activities will begin April 27 with a parade down Jayhawk Boulevard from the Chi Omega fountain. Scheduled to begin at 11:20 a.m., the parade will feature, in addition to all those ducks riding in solitary splendor, each of the queen candidates and a marching band formed of independent residents. Each residence and scholarship hall will submit a float for judging by the parade committee from the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH).
A hootenanny will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Lewis Hall, Student talent will be featured.
Friday, April 28, festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a carnival in S parking zone north of Potter Lake. Rides and games will be featured.
Spring Fling Queen will be crowned at 10 p.m. Friday during a Whatchamacallit scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight on the tennis courts east of Memorial Stadium. The Upside Downs have been contracted to play for the dance.
Saturday will be the most event-filled day for Spring Flingers. A day-long gymkhana will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Lewis and Hashinger parking lots with seven classes of auto competition and hall competition.
AT 10:30 A.M., paired competition will begin with a tug of war at Potter Lake. A picnic in C and O parking lots will begin at 11:30 a.m., but for those who prefer to eat indoors, lunch will be served at Gertrude Sellars Pearson and Hashinger Halls. If it rains Saturday, the picnic will be moved to Templin Hall, but games will still be held outdoors because no sheltered space could be found for them.
Afternoon activities will include a relay race, egg toss, bod race (CQ), a pie-eating contest, and a duck race on Potter Lake.
A recognition banquet to honor the people who worked on this year's Spring Fling will be held 12:30 p.m. Sunday in Lewis Hall. Featured will be a special poetry reading, "The Humorous Aspects of Poetry," by Dennis Quinn of the KU English department.
Fling activities will culminate Sunday night in a Spring Sing at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Each participating living group will submit singing groups in the competition sponsored by the AURH and Inter-Residence Council. Following the Sing, all trophies will be awarded to the winning living groups.
MAYBE IF I LET SOME AIR OUT OF THE TIRES?

Noted architect explains views
A noted architect and educator told KU architecture students yesterday, "If you love the work and have the gift, you don't need any degree."
George J. Hasslein, head of the architecture and architectural engineering school at California Polytechnic College, gave a lecture and showed slides of the experimental projects constructed at the Cal Poly campus.
Hasslein told of the tremendous initiative demonstrated by his students in making the Cal Poly program one of the finest in the country.
Hasslein said the Cal Poly program was started from scratch, and did not even receive accreditation until fifteen years after its conception.
"I HAVE FOUND that if you want to get motivation among students, tell them that they can't do something," Hasslein said. "They prove me wrong every time."
"I think being unaccredited was one of our greatest advantages,"
Hasslein said. "We weren't burdened with a tradition to uphold."
SONY'S compact solid state stereo has only one drawback.
HASSLEIN SPENT THE day on campus as a guest of the Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He visited several classes during the day and attended a joint AIA-Scarab beer blast last evening.
Hasslein has been head of the architecture department at Cal Poly since 1850.
