'Elderly mystery guest' to appear in Rock Chalk Revue
An "extra-special guest" is the highlight of their part of Rock Chalk Revue, according to the master and mistress of ceremonies.
Jackie Kieser, Bolivar, Mo. graduate student, and John Newlin, Kansas City graduate student, who share the title of emcee, will not say who this "special guest" is. All they will say about him is that he is "quite old" and he will be visiting Lawrence at the time.
They did tell part of what they themselves will do.
Miss Kieser said she plans to wear "wild clothes," possibly bright orange and bright turquoise feather boas and "wild" hostess pajamas.
"Actually, they're what I wear all the time," she said of most of her costumes.
Because they are the "glue that sticks it all together," as Miss Kieser said, the two emcees have been unable to do much work on their part in the show until they knew what the other acts were doing. They have been working on their parts since the first of February.
When asked how they got their jobs as mistress and master of ceremonies, Newlin said his part was easy because he had had the same job last year. Miss Kieser was chosen because of her part in "Gypsy." She played Tessie Tura, the loud, brassy-voiced stripper in the show.
Expenses -
Continued from page 1
Craig said the ASC will not necessarily have to cut back in some area to pay for the allocations. It will depend on how widely the money is used this year. If there happens to be an area where allocated money is not being used or is not necessary, funds will be taken from there, if needed for the expense accounts, he said.
Barker believes the expense accounts will provide encouragement for more students to participate, knowing the financial burden will not be so great.
Several come from gifts
Old houses make space
Old fraternity and sorority houses, whose members abandoned Mt. Oread for new off-campus buildings, are now providing extra space for the University.
Typical of this change of inhabitants is Henley House, which was given to the YWCA by an early Lawrence family to be used as the YWCA's campus headquarters and as a women's co-op house.
Alpha Chi Omega sorority bought Henley House in 1958 to serve as an annex for its senior women. It was then rented to graduate women students. In 1967 the KU Endowment Association bought it and the Alpha Chi chapter house to use after July 1 as part of the University Extension.
University High School has a similar story. Located north of Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall, it was a four-year high school attended mainly by children of KU faculty members and served as a training ground for students in the school of education.
In 1950 an anonymous donor contributed funds for the conversion of University High into a faculty club. Buildings and Grounds workmen built a two story addition on the east side of the building and modernized the exterior.
Most of the old residential buildings used by KU were either given by the Endowment Association or purchased with the Elizabeth M. Watkins and the S. E. Summerfield funds.
Such acquisitions are turned over to the University, but the Endowment Association retains the title until construction with state funds is started on the property. This arrangement is made in case KU wants to sell the property without the trouble of pushing the transaction through the state legislature.
$75,000 given for student loans
A bequest of $75,000 from the estate of the late Allen Clark Pratt of Kansas City to KU was announced Wednesday by Irvin E. Youngberg, executive secretary of the KU Endowment Association.
The bequest will be used for loans to meritorious and needy students during the 1968-69 school year.
Pratt, who died in July, 1966, was not an alumnus of KU.
Youngberg said $938,900 was
loaned through the KU Office of Student Financial Aid to 2,836 students in Lawrence during the fall semester. The money was loaned through three programs dependent on private funds—the National Defense Student Loan program, the United Student Aid fund, and individual loan funds held in the Endowment Association.
The first two programs require local funds for matching and guarantee purposes.
