park, Replogle said the late movie actor Wallace Beery was his favorite.
"HE WAS JUST as common as shoe leather," Replogle said, "he didn't have a stuck-up bone in his body. I think he gave me the most laughs and fun."
He described another of his guests, movie star Gary Cooper, as "One of the very nicest guys I've ever met. He was very quiet and dignified, but never made you uneasy to be around."
He also guided the Queen and King of Siam when they visited the United States. "They were so dignified, graceful and angelic that they absolutely reminded me of butterflies."
HE ALSO HAS guided such personalities as Lily Pons, opera star: Gerda Mundt, the counsel of Copenhagen, Denmark, when he came to the U.S. in 1834 to study the methods of the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC); Crown Prince Frederick, the grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm; Edgar Bergen, and Dale Carnegie.
He said that Haskell Institute's John Levi was the greatest passer that he had ever witnessed. He said that he had seen Levi complete passes of as long as 86 yards. He ranked Harold Grant of the College of Emporia as the best back at evading prospective tacklers.
When asked who he thought was the greatest football player that he had been associated with, Replogle said that it was almost impossible to select just one because of the many classifications of ballplayers.
HE SAID that All America Ray Evans was probably the best all around player that he had seen at KU.
"He did everything well; pass, run, catch, block, tackle and I think he could have punted if we would have needed him to."
He praised the character of line- man Oliver Spencer who played for KU in the early 1950s before playing many years in the National Football League.
"OLLIE IS A real good guy; one of the finest men on this earth."
He said that Spencer and Mike McCormick, now co-captains of the professional Cleveland Browns, rank among the top linemen that he has seen at KU.

I WITNESSED THE ATROCITIES IN ANGOLA
A pregnant mother is clubbed to death. A laborer is thrown in prison for missing a day's work. Hundreds of Angolans are slaughtered in cold blood. In this week's Post, an American missionary describes this butchery. He tells how the Portuguese keep 4,000,000 Africans in near slavery. And how he himself was jailed on trumped-up charges.

AP Critic Praises KU's Imagination '62' Meet
Imagination '62, the national conference of college theater students and faculty which ended a three-day meeting here Sunday, was "a very stimulating series of demonstrations and lectures," William Glover, drama critic of the Associated Press, said Sunday.
The conference roster listed 123 students and 19 faculty members, from 15 schools in six states. But there were several others, including the seven special guests of Imagination '62.
The special guests were James Hull Miller and Arthur Risser, theater consultants and architects; Paul Baker, professor of drama at Baylor University and director of the Dallas Theater Center; Jules Irving, critic and director of Actor's Workshop in San Francisco; Norris Houghton, author and director of the Phoenix Theater in New York; and two KU faculty members, F. Cowles Strickland, visiting professor of speech and drama, and William Reardon, associate professor of speech and drama.
Topics of the conference lectures included theater architecture, the repertory theater as a school for actors, the dramatist and music, the theater's responsibilities to its community, the progress of American
Topeka Woman Is Top Teacher
Mrs. Marjorie L. French, a Topeka mathematics teacher with "every great quality a teacher should possess," has been named the "National Teacher of the Year" for 1962.
Mrs. French is one in a million, or to be mathematically exact, one in 1,454.362 - the total of elementary and high school teachers in the U.S.
President Kennedy will make the award in a White House ceremony on May 14.
She has an M.S. degree (1951) from KU, and has taught here at the summer mathematics institutes for several summers. She is a Phi Kappa Phi and President of the Kansas Association of Teachers of Mathematics.
Mrs. French, who has taught in Kansas for 23 years, teaches three mathematics classes at Topeka high school and is supervisor of the mathematics department for grades 7 through 12 in the Topeka school system.

Drama Symposium Scheduled Tonight
Her husband, Freeman French, is a music teacher in the Topeka school system.
The second play of the Drama Symposium, "Here Comes Santa Claus," by Joel Oliansky, opens at 8 tonight in the Experimental Theatre.
Miller and Risser debated the merits of the open stage versus the prosenium stage. Miller said the open stage offers flexibility in staging, seating and acting, is less expensive to build, its scenery is less expensive, and may be used for many types of program.
Risser, who had a large hand in the University Theatre building plans, said Miller seemed to forget that theaters are for actors. He called the open stage "a stage on which the actor is expected to project both with his face and his fanny."
The play, directed by Ken Baker, Helmetta, N. J., graduate student, deals with the fated predicament of a one-time successful radio announcer caught between his drug-addicted Hungarian actor father and a homicidal wife.
He must decide either to leave town with a friend or stay in the small, comfortable town with a "going-nowhere" radio station.
