Pepper expresses optimism
By JIM McLEAN Kansan Staff Writer
Kansas will be coming back, says KU football coach Pepper Rodgers. Rodgers said, "If we don't have a good year, I'll be
disappointed.

Five KU track men join Caribbean tour
By JEFF GERHART Kansan Staff Writer
Five KU athletes will accompany track coach Bob Timmons on a three week Caribbean tour leaving Miami, Florida, July 15, as a tribute to their outstanding performances in the NCAA track championships at Des Moines, Iowa, June 18-20.
The venture is being organized in co-operation with Carl Cooper of the United States Track and
know clinics and demonstrations will be conducted at each stop.
"The athletes will have plenty of time to see the country and just enjoy themselves. In some instances group work will be stressed, while individual work will be the goal at other times."
Each member will not only be representing the University of Kansas but also the United States. The KU track uniform will be worn along with the U.S.T.F.F. official emblem.
Passports and visas are now being obtained. The group is scheduled to return during the first week of August.

Pepper Rodgers seems optimistic about the coming season, partly because he is an optimistic man, and partly because he feels he has some good material to work with. He is also looking forward to playing on the new tarten turf which is being installed on the field in Memorial Stadium.
Coach Rodgers felt he could make no predictions about where KU would finish next year but he did volunteer a statement, saying, "We will be ready."
Field Federation and the Kansas State department. All expenses will be paid by these two organizations.
After the NCAA meet, each member of the KU track squad voted on the five members most qualified to go. Questions concerning contribution to the teams effort and individual ability were asked with a one to 17 rating selected for each name chosen.
Those selected were Bill Penny, hammer thrower, Jan Johnson, pole vaulter, Mickey Matthews, spinner, Jim Neihouse, half-miler, and Mike Solomon, distance runner.
Coach Timmons talked about the upcoming trip.
"The purpose of the Caribbean trip is that of good will," he said. "I am curious as to what to expect in each country we visit. I
