Quack Club Show Honors Composer
By Willis Henson
The 19 members of the KU Quack Club paid tribute to Richard Rodgers, famous composer of concert music, at their annual show last night in Robinson pool.
In a demonstration of rhythmic grace, the women performed to the theme of the program "Ripples Wich Rodgers." Twelve numbers from the composer were presented on the program.
Some of the show tunes used in the program are "South Pacific," "The King and I," "Carousel," and "State Fair."
Excellent choreography, designed by a swimmer in each act, provides special entertainment for the audience. The designers had worked unusual settings to complement the usual demonstrations of the front and back crawl, side stroke, surface dives, and the interesting underwater body flip.
THE SYNCHRONIZED swimming performance will be presented again at 8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow night.
GOOD TIMING and rhythmic swimming strokes were demonstrated throughout in the numbers. Three men succeeded in entering the dance to provide a touch of humor to the show.
Their number is entitled simply "Diving." Dressed as wayward bums, the men entertained the audience with a series of hard body slams in the water, side dives, piggy-back dives, overhead dives, and general ludicrous merrymaking.
FROM "STATE FAIR" comes a number, "Mardi Gras" which won third place at the Amateur Athletic Union swimming contest in Houston, Texas in 1961.
Four members took the audience from the "Mardi Gras" to Chinatown, adding more variety to the program. Chinatown came in the form of the "Overture," from "Flower Drum Song."
THE GIRLS WERE dressed in Oriental costume and were wearing gues (braids).
Nancy Sturgis, St. Louis, Mo., freshman, is the announcer for the show.
"Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" is aptly presented in the form of a water fight by Barbara Gresser, Topeka senior, and Andrea Gresser, Topeka sophomore.
Especially well done is the closing scene, which is a medley performed by the entire Quack Club and choreographer Carolyn Powers, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. In the scene, all the women spell out "Redgers" on the water in a colorful cermy.
Amendment Draws Single Opponent
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution prompted a Kansas lawmaker yesterday to charge that a certain segment of the population in the south "is not intelligent enough to vote."
Despite the arguments of Sen. Fayette Rowe, R-Columbus, the Senate tentatively approved ratification of the proposed amendment to abolish poll taxes in all states.
Rowe, the only senator to object to the amendment, said such a measure would detract from states rights. The poll tax, he said, is the south's way of keeping certain groups from voting.
"We have no right to impose this amendment on them." Rowe said.
The Senate also gave tentative approval to a bill which would allow new Kansas residents to vote for the president and vice-president if they have lived in the state 45 days prior to election.
