KU campus police chief enjoys college routine

After assisting in manhunts for such gangsters as Ma Barker and her boys or Bonnie and Clyde, or patrolling suburban Lawrence in motorboats after the flood of 1951, the busy schedule of a "campus cop" is a welcome routine for E. P. Moomau, chief of the KU campus traffic and security department.
Taking the KU position five years ago was "like coming back home," Moomau said.
Moomau, who is a career law enforcement officer, spent 12 years in Lawrence from 1949 to 1961 before retiring from the Kansas Highway Patrol and taking his present job.
Moomau said he started with the Wichita Police Department as a college student. We worked his way through school while attending Friends University in the late twenties.
"I was broke and then my employer went broke," Moomau said. "I had to quit school and got a job with the police force." He got married and stayed on with the police force, later joining the Kansas Highway Patrol.
"I wanted to teach and coach," Moomau said. "I would have liked to teach math and coach football or basketball, but at least in my job now I have the opportunity to meet students and work with them on various projects."
Moomau said often he has to work out traffic or security problems with student committees for activities as Spring Fling, Greek Week Sing, Rock Chalk Review or the Festival of the Arts.
The chief said he often attends campus programs in an unofficial capacity. Christmas Vespers is one of his favorites as well as athletic events. Moomau said he often rides the band bus or another student-organized bus load making the trip to an away game.
Mooaua said he had wanted to make the trip to Miami for
TV comedian says networks money minded
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
— Dick Smothers, the quiet member of the Smothers Brothers comedy team, charged yesterday that the television networks are only after dollars "and artistic talent be damned."
"Unless CBS changes its policy," Smothers said, "we would much rather go to another network."
He said the National Broadcasting Co. would like nothing better than to have a one-two punch like its Laugh-In and the Smothers Brothers show.
Smothers was here to look over a car which he will drive in this weekend's 12-hour Sebring, Fla., endurance race.
Smothers told newsmen, "The question is: Is television art or entertainment?
"We are wrong sometimes, but at least we try to say something."
Last week, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was officially renewed for next year by CBS following a squabble over censorship.

the Orange Bowl, but couldn't due to health reasons.
"I think, though I got more excited just watching it on TV than if I had been in the
stadium," he said. "It' was a great game until the last four plavs."
Another of Moomau's favorites in sports is the KU Relays. He expressed some regret that the track was so difficult for the athletes to run on and that so much work and money had to be spent drying it off every year after rains.
"I think if we're going to
continue the Relays, we're going to have to get a decent track for those boys to run on," Moomau said.
Moomau's special interests are hunting and fishing and occasional yardwork during the summers. He does most of his fishing in Minnesota and hunts pheasant and quail in parts of Kansas during August, his only slcak month. Sometimes his five grandons accompany him on trips to hunt or fish.
In his capacity as chief of KU traffic and security, Moomau oversees traffic and parking problems, handles reports on lost articles, thefts and accidents.
"Attitudes toward the law enforcement officers seem to go in cycles," Moomau commented. "There are low spots and high points in general feelings, but usually it's easy to make friends with the students we come in contact with."
Moomau said students don't seem to be getting worse as some people think. They're just getting more involved in government and their respective universities and university government, but it isn't necessarily in a violent or destructive manner, he said.
Doug Clark and The Hot Nuts will appear in Lawrence at the Red Dog Inn Friday, March 21—8 p.m.
Doug Clark and The Hot Nuts To Appear In Lawrence Friday
The University of Kansas and the people of Lawrence will be treated to an evening of Soul and laughter as the RED DOG INN presents Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts Friday night at 8 p.m.
The Piedmont area of North Carolina might be known for such erudite institutions as Duke University of Durham, the State College at Raleigh, U.N.C. at Chapel Hill, and the omnipotent HOT NUTS of Dixie. Since 1955 the infamous group has been shaken' shy lassies from Princeton to Georgia Tech. Their unique delivery of a classic theme has brought acclaim from collegiate administrators and students alike. Their "boasts of heraldry" can be attributed to their bawdy songs of love and lust.
Doug rompin' the skins, June Bug blastin', the trumpet, Big John bompin' the sax, Chicken Little plunkin' the strings, and Prince providing the local vocal have stimulated rapacious riots from Ole Miss to Yale, from Sewanee to U. Va. The parentless patrons of these universities have been amused by their featured rendition of the HOT NUTS song. This and most of their other songs were written by Doug, his brother John, and Prince Taylor. The
original music is a product of the joint efforts on the part of all the members; the lyrics are often adibbed and have provided audiences with wit and humor unabashed by sophistication and unrestrained by set patterns or scores. Doug Clark has combined musical talent, creativity, and a heck-of-a sense of humor to bring to his public not only good rock'n roll but also a brand of wit that is unequalled in this part of the country.
Let's hope that we never see Doug and his boys fettered in chains (they get a little rowdy every now and then) and that they will remain the same insincere, wild group they are, for their services to the uninitiated and the initiated alike is second only to their musical ability, and their humor is guaranteed to make even TWO OLD MAIDS laugh. If you are the least bit prudish or putational you will not like this group and you might as well not waste your money on it; if, on the other hand, you are like millions of others who know how to launch and don't blush too easily then waste your money on some good bawdy music and fancy talkin' Friday, March 21—8 p.m. at the RED DOG INN.
