Spring Fling week
Queen, carnival new
A queen selected from candidates in the women's residence halls, a parade day Jayhawk Blvd. and a carnival will be new elements in this year's Spring Fling, April 24-30.
Scott Blackard, Riverside, Calif., junior and Spring Fling committee chairman, said the queen candidate selection process will be left to each women's hall. Ten living groups are expected to participate.
The men's halls will pick one of the 10 candidates for Spring Fling queen, Blackard said.
THE CANDIDATES will ride in a 10-minute parade down Jayhawk Blvd. on Wednesday of Spring Fling week. Also in the parade will be a marching band selected by the Fling committee and ducks for the duck race in Potter Lake.
"We're not using the ducks the same way as before," Blackard said. "The administration didn't want us to use them because of violence in past years during duck swiping. This year the ducks are back but will be kept together until the race."
On Friday evening of Spring Fling a carnival will open in Szone west of Memorial Stadium. Also on Friday night the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) will hold a Whatchamacallit in the Potter Lake area, ruled over by the Spring Fling queen.
MANY OF THE traditional events will take place Saturday, including a noon picnic, a bod race, an egg toss, and a pie-eating contest. A gymkhana will be run all day Saturday in the Templin-Lewis parking lots.
Blackard also said there will be a marathon and a tug-of-war, the details of which are not ready to announce.
Spring Fling was began by the KU AURH four years ago, the
first of its kind among university residence halls. The idea has since been imitated in numerous other schools, among them K-State and Missouri.
Llona Marshall, Ft. Scott senior and president of AURH, said Kansas State College at Pittsburg, the University of Arkansas, and Louisiana State have also expressed interest in KU's Spring Fling.

Freshman shot
John Kanzig. Lawrence freshman, is reported in poor condition at the KU Medical Center after shooting himself in the abdomen Saturday with what he thought was an unloaded gun.
He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and then transferred to the medical center where he underwent surgery.
His mother, Mrs. James Kanzig, cautioned the student to use care in handling a new Ruger 22-caliber automatic pistol. Kanzig said it was not loaded and, to prove it, pointed the gun at his abdomen.
The accident occurred at Kanzig's home at 1524 West 22nd St.

SS396 Suddenly, you're elsewhere
One drive in an SS 396 and you'll find yourself committed to a new way of changing the scene.

None of the hall's residents was injured.
Residence hall authorities believe something highly inflammable, such as a can of hair spray, was in the waste basket.
