Rush Evans made quite a switch in his young life. After two years of pre-dentistry, he decided that he preferred tonsils to teeth and had a try at using his voice. He auditioned for a summer job as a radio announcer, and the rest, as they say about successful "show biz" people, is history. . . . Rush finished school in Northwestern's Speech Department and now has his own morning show, "Rush Hour," seen Monday through

Friday mornings from 7 to 8 on WIBW-TV in Topeka. The show really keeps Rush on his toes — his guests, too. It's strictly ad-lib. "Something unusual and unexpected happens almost every day," Rush says. One of his favorite stories recalls the time a guest on the show opened his mouth to speak. It seems there was a fly buzzing around who couldn't resist the temptation to fly in and crawl around a while. It was one of the more interesting "Rush Hours." . . . But whatever happens, and no matter how much time and energy Rush has to expend, he loves his work. In addition to his TV show, Rush is also Program Manager at WIBW and teaches at the local university. His only problem, he says, is finding enough time to spend with his family and enough time to sleep ! . . . He met his wife Helen when she came to the station one day to visit her uncle. They now live in a "conservative but comfortable" home in Topeka with Tina Louise, 2, and Rush III, nine months. "The kids are terrific," Rush says. "Every man should have a bunch!" . . . Rush has his own strong convictions on almost every subject. But this is fine, because he's usually right! Judging from the awards he has received and the stacks of mail that pour in from his delighted viewers, Rush is certainly right about keeping the show's format relaxed and completely spontaneous. And he's right about another thing, too : Every man should marry a "prize-winning girl" and have a bunch of terrific kids!
