Torchlight parade happens Thursday
The glow of torches will light the campus Thursday night as six parades of torch-bearing students march to a pep rally in front of Hoch Auditorium.
The torchlight parades and pepl rally are part of the celebrations for Homecoming Day, Saturday.
The parades, led by yell leaders and pom-pon girls, will begin as 6:30 p.m. from six locations, Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission senior, and chairman of the torchlight parade committee, said.
The gathering places for the torchlight march are Daisy Field, Zone-O, West Hills, the Sigma Chi house, Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, and Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
When the parades converge at Hoch Auditorium, the yell leaders and pom-pom girls will lead the students in victory cheers. A
pep band will play school fight songs from Hoch's outside balcony.
Pepper Rodgers, head football coach, will introduce the entire football team, and Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe will speak.
Two thousand students attended the rally last year, Krebs said.
The number of torches for the parades has been increased from 44 last year to 53 this year, Krebs said.
"I really hope for more than that this year because our team is number one in the Big 8," Krebs said.
"This is one of the few times we get to show our school spirit," Krebs said, "as a big group making noise."
"However, because there are 65 living groups, men's living groups will receive priority in carrying the torches," he added.
Kansan wins SDX awards
The University Daily Kansan has been awarded first place in Feature Story writing and second in Sports Stories by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity.
Competition was open to 95 universities and colleges which have Sigma Delta Chi campus chapters.
The Kansan sent five stories from last year's paper for each of the competition divisions.
Alan Northcutt, Wichita senior, and president of the Kansas chapter, said the awards reflect the work of many people on the paper, and "we'll be entering again this year to show how much we've improved through the efforts of the new editors and staff."
First-place awards will be presented during Sigma Delta Chl's annual convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul Nov. 15-18.
Homecoming ticket sales 'good' continue today
Ticket sales for the Nov. 4 Homecoming Concert with jazz trumpet Louis Armstrong continue today with tickets being sold in some university residence halls this evening.
Tickets will be available tonight from 5:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. in Joseph R. Pearson Hall; from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. in McCollum Hall; from 5:15 p.m. until 6:45 p.m. in Templin Hall.
chairman. The $2.50 tickets are in the greatest demand: some sections are already sold out.
The pace of ticket sales has been brisk despite inclement weather, said Dave Pitts, Wichita junior and Homecoming Concert
Bloc ticket sales were "good" according to Dave Robinson, Leawood junior and Homecoming Tickets chairman. Sale of bloc tickets stood at 2,153—a drop of approximately 1,000 from last year.
The difference was attributed to the short time the Concert Committee has had to publicize the concert. Armstrong signed only a month and a half ago.
Woodruff will receive plaque
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) will present a plaque to Laurence C. Woodruff, professor of biology and entomology, Thursday night at a meeting at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house.
"The plaque is in recognition of his outstanding service to the University and the Greek system as dean of students," said Bob Sweeney, Bartlesville, Okla., senior and IFC vice-president of fraternity affairs.

WASHINGTON —(UPI)— The number of color television sets is increasing rapidly, according to the Census Bureau, whose most recent survey on the subject showed households equipped with color video have increased to 13 per cent of the total in the United States, compared with only 7.4 per cent when the last previous survey was taken in August, 1965.

PURSES New Ideas from Primarily Leather 105 E.8th St.
Mrs. Bose, a graduate of the University of India, came to the United States at the invitation of the president of Washburn University. She is presently at KU teaching Western Civilization.
Mrs. Bose's talk is sponsored by the newly formed People-to-People Forum Committee. The Committee, which operates independently of the Student Union Activities Forums, is trying to bring "name" speakers to KU.
Chris Saricks, Lawrence junior and chairman of the Committee, said the Committee is now trying to get former Vice President Richard Nixon to speak at KU.

In 1919, a group of KU men decided to expand their field of operation and boarded a train for a certain village up the Kaw. Our country cousins heard they were coming and greeted them by locking them in a fraternity house until after the KU-K-State football game the next day.
Quieter this year
This year will probably be much quieter. KU students should celebrate with a few private parties around campus and perhaps a little trick-or-treating or even "pumpkin caroling."
Or maybe in the tradition of old, some students will attend the Student Union Activities showing of "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
