'Temptations' scarce in Emporia EMPORIA - Many students in Emporia last week were excited about the possibility of seeing "The Temptations" appear in concert in the Emporia Civic Auditorium. By the end of the week their excitement had turned to disappointment as a mystery surrounding the concert unfolded. Last week posters appeared in Emporia advertising "the exciting 'Temptations' in concert, March 7 in the Emporia Civic Auditorium." The Kansas State Teachers College (KSTC) paper, the Bulletin, became interested and attempted to find out who was sponsoring the event. The Bulletin found that the college had not booked "The Temptations" for a concert and further investigations showed that no one knew who was sponsoring the concert. Ron Lowen, editor of the Bulletin, said tickets for the concert had been distributed to the D & E Drug Stores of Emporia. Lowen said Ed Streit, owner of the drug stores, had sold the tickets for the concert under the impression the concert was being sponsored by the college. The drug stores had been selling the $2.50 and $3 tickets for one day and had sold about $400 in tickets. Lowen said he contacted Tony Gregory, an agent for the William Morris agency which books "The Temptations." Gregory said "The Temptations" were scheduled to appear in Philadelphia and not Emporia on March 7. Gary Stevens of Wichita, had booked the Emporia Civic Auditorium for March 7. When contacted by Lowen, Stevens said he knew nothing about the group which was to play and he was acting on behalf of a friend, Jack Skinner, a Las Vegas nightclub performer. Lowen said Skinner denied knowing anything about booking "The Temptations" to appear in Emporia. Lowen said a KSTC student had passed out the posters, but like everyone else would say nothing about who the band was. "Most of the money from the ticket sales has been returned and Stevens has cancelled the reservation for the civic auditorium," Lowen said. "But we still don't know what happened to the 'exciting Temptations'." Photo winners announced KU's 1969 Photo Contest was bigger than ever, said William Seymour, instructor of journalism.
