Homecoming traditions to return
By LIZ LEECH
Staff Writer
Homecoming at the University of Kansas used to be a big traditional, week-long event, one that was Rock Chalk full of activities.
But interest in homecoming dwindled in the 1960s when it was considered irrelevant and superficial.
This year some of the traditions will be revived, according to Robert Foster, chairman of the Homecoming Committee.
"We are trying to rebuild homecoming at KU and we want it to be a great big, fun time for everybody," said Foster.
Foster said the Homecoming Committee had been meeting every Tuesday since the beginning of the semester preparing for the occasion. The Committee comprised representatives of the Lawrence community, alumni, major student organizations, the KU Band, KU Athletic Association, Student Senate, living groups and others.
"The Pep Rally Friday was a major breakthrough for us," Foster said.
The rally is at 1:10 today in front of Strong Hall, including the KU marching band, Coach Bud Moore, football players, yell outlaws, announcer and a sound system from KLWN.
"One of the old traditions we've brought into our lives is window painting content downtown." Few people know that.
Art students are paid $10 each by Lawrence merchants for painting their store windows. A price of $25 will be announced during pregame activities.
"This is the first time in 10 or 15 years that the alumni and students will come together for something like this," said Steve Clark, a representative on the Homecoming Committee.
The Ellsworth Medallions, in honor of the late secretary of the Alumni Association, will be presented to Arthur H. "Red" Cromb, Shawnee Mission, 1930 business graduate; Roy A. Edwards, Jr., Kansas City, Kan., a 1942 business graduate; Nicholas Gerem, Wil伯力force, Ohio, Nebraska; and Paul K. State University State University; Stanley Learned, Bartlesville, Ola., retired president and chief executive office of Phillips Petroleum Co.;
Cytice Wiley Nichols, Lawrence, wife of Chancellor Emeritus Raymond Nichols; Dolph Simons, Sr., Lawrence, editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World;
"it's going to be a super event with Chancellor Archie Dykes, a sit-down luncheon, a pep rally, and the awards," Clark said.
"It's a totally different kind of show, and we hope the students will like it because it's the sort of thing that that's coming back, and it's the stuff the alums grew up with." Poster said.
"King of Swing" Benny Goodman will entertain the homecoming crowd concert at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday in Hoover Auditorium, and then go to Oklahoma State football game.
Foster said there would also be a "big surprise" during the half-time show.
N. T. Veatch, Kansas City, Mo., retired founding partner of Black and Veach engineering firm; and Odd Williams, Lawrence, president of Williams, Inc.
Colorful floats and decorations will be on display in front of dormitories, sororities and fraternities Friday evening through Saturday.
And, of course, the Oklahoma State University Cowboys will be in town for the game.
Other events include post-game get-togethers for the School of Business alumni in the Crystal Room at the Eldridge Hotel at 4; School of Law alumni at the Elk Club at 4; Mum sale at the football game, sponsored by the Commission on the Status of Football field hockey with RU taking on the Kansas City Hockey Club at Dc2A and Iowa Streets.

OFFERS REWARD
The ancient Greeks thought all things to be composed of the four atoms of fire, wind, water and earth. We now know this is not so. The atomic bomb cracked the atom and showed matter to be a form of energy. Then comes the question of what does exist in ultimate form. Can it be that this whole world and everything in it is but a fancy and illusion and that there is no ultimate reality?
How is it possible to understand anything unless you know what is in existence to be understood? In order to promote scientific understanding, we need someone who can go beyond fire, wind, water and earth and give the identity, number and manner of all things existing in ultimate form.
