Midwest students to compete
Intercollegiate Rodeo coming to town
By GALEN BLAND Kansan Staff Writer
It's time to saddle your ponies and loosen your lariats because the rodeo is coming to town.
The Jayhawk Rodeo Club will sponsor the fourth annual KU Intercollegiate Rodeo which begins Friday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
More than 100 university students from the Midwest, members of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, are expected to compete in the regular rodeo events.
There will be open competition in calf roping for men and barrel racing for women. The wildest action of all, however, may come in the fraternity steer riding event.
KU fraternities have entered 45 four-man teams in the steer riding, with 15 teams scheduled to compete in each rodeo session of the three-day event. The problem for the men entered in the event will be to capture a steer, saddle it, put one team member in the saddle and drag the steer and rider to the center of the ring.
Jean Ann Groves, Arkansas City sophomore, who will reign as queen of the rodeo, expects the result to be total confusion. "Probably 95 per cent of those boys have never even touched a steer," she said.
Four candidates unlisted in UDK
It was learned Tuesday that due to an oversight four Senate candidates from the Graduate School did not appear in the list of candidates published March 3 in the Kansan.
Tim Miller, Wichita graduate student, filed an appeal with the Student Court March 18 that the election be declared invalid since the four candidates were not listed in the Kansan but did appear on the ballot.
The Student Court is to hear the appeal within the next two weeks.

The team with the fastest overall time will be awarded a trophy. Each day a keg of beer will be given to the team with the fastest time for that day.
Events will begin at 8 p.m. Friday. Saturday morning will be reserved for open competition in barrel racing and calf roping and regular competition will begin at 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
In regular competition, women will be competing in goat tying,
gate breakaway roping and barrel racing. Men's events will be bareback bronc riding, calf roping, ribbon roping, saddle bronc riding, bulldogging and bull riding.
Anyone from this area is eligible for the open competition. The entry fee is $5 with an additional $1 for the roping contest as a "cattle charge." Barrel racers must have their own horses to compete, but local men in the
calf roping event may use stock animals.
Jayhawk Rodeo Club was organized in 1967 by six KU students, only two of whom had rodeo experience. They planned a rodeo that year but it was $nowed out.
Weather interfered again in 1968. Rain shortened the competition but the event broke even. The 1969 rodeo was the first money-maker, and those profits
are going into preparation for this year's show.
Current club officers include Monte Antisdel, Lawrence junior, president; Marty Van Lerberg, Shawnee senior, secretary; and Mary Jane Bosilevac, Shawnee Mission sophomore, treasurer.
Each contestant's $5 entry fee goes into a prize fund and are paid in graduated amounts to the top six competitors in each event.
