5,000 alums to return
Five thousand alumni will return to KU, their former home, Friday and Saturday.
During the two-day visit, the returning alumni will be entertained with football games, receptions, and a Broadway musical.
The activities for the alumni begin Friday at 2:30 p.m. when
the freshman football teams from KU and Kansas State meet.
Friday night, the alumni will attend the University production of "Gypsy."
"For the last ten years, there has been a University production at homecoming time with a special Friday night presentation for
alumni," Richard Wintermote,
alumni director, said.
Educators meet here
Activities begin with registration for the alumni at 9:00 a.m. in the main lobby of the Kansas Union, Wintermute said.
Kansas teachers were urged Thursday to accept the responsibility of guaranteeing quality education to the youth of the state.
Margaret Lindsey of Columbia University made this challenge at the opening general session of the two-day Kansas State Teachers Association (KSTA) convention in Allen Field House.
Parade canceled maybenextweek
After the alumni register, they will be invited on free bus tours of the campus.
The torchlight parade and rally scheduled for Thursday night were cancelled because of rain, according to Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission junior, and chairman of the torchlight parade committee.
The parade and rally may be rescheduled for next Thursday night before the Kansas-Colorado football game Nov. 11, Krebs said.
"Rather than risk a poor rally or exposure of the football players to damp weather, we decided to call the rally off." Krebs said.
Head Football Coach Pepper Rogers liked the idea of the parade and rally, and did not want to give it up completely, Krebs said.
Speaking to about 6,500 teachers from the northeastern section of the state, Dr. Lindsey said, "Excellence in every teacher must be insured to the public to maintain their trust."
Norman Babcock, KSTA president, gave a brief message to the teachers urging strong unity among them to obtain changes in the Kansas School Foundation Finance Act from the Kansas Legislature.
Before the two-day assembly began 127 delegates met Wednesday at the Kansas Union to approve a resolution to the KSTA legislative commission demanding that classroom teachers comprise half of the Professional Practices Board.
The resolution demanded that of the remaining board seats, 30 per cent be filled by administrators and 20 per cent by higher education representatives. Previously, higher educational representatives comprised almost one half the board membership.
Graduates of the Schools of Business, Law, Engineering and Journalism also will be invited to receptions and open houses in the morning.
Before the KU-K-State varsity football game in the afternoon, a special luncheon for the KU and Kansas State alumni board of directors will be given.
Gov. Robert Docking, a KU graduate and James A. McCain, president of K-State, will be the ruests of Chancellor K. Clarke W. Wescos at the board of directors' luncheon.
After the football game, there will be a reception in the Kansas Union for all guests.

The illustrated lectures of Eduardo Langagne will cover the pre-Hispanic house in Latin America, including dwellings of the Inca and Maya civilization; housing during the Spanish colonization; and contemporary dwellings.
Pollution is a problem Kansans don't want to face, according to Ross E. McKinney, Glen Parker professor of civil engineering at KU.
Kansas faces pollution, prof warns
"Kansas is a vital reserve for future expansion in this country,"
McKinney wrote in the current edition of Kansas Business Review.
"Few of the environmental problems which face other parts of the world have been seen here," the article said.
