'GYPSY' PREMIE :ES THURSDAY
Strippers and showgirls surround Parmalee Bates, New York City senior, who plays Gypsy "Rose" Lee in KU's musical. "Gypsy" opens at 1 pm. Thursday in the University Theatre. Tickets are free with student registration certificates and should be picked up in advance. The show runs Thursday to Sunday for two weeks.
Team to play College Bowl
KU has been asked to compete on the nationally televised General Electric College Bowl Jan. 28 and will be represented by a four-student team.
The College Intermediary Board (CIB) and its College Bowl Committee will be in charge of selecting a team from among the University's undergraduate students. The CIB is a group of students set up to advise the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences on programs, courses and student interests.
KU competed on the College Bowl program in 1960 during the show's second season. The KU team defeated the University of Chicago, then lost to Smith College. Since that time a College Bowl Committee has run campus competition, with teams competing from various living units in speed and accuracy in answering questions calling for general or specialized information.
The final team will be selected by the CIB and the chairman of the KU College Bowl Committee from the outstanding individuals participating irrespective of teams.
A first team of four and a team of alternates will be selected. Steven B. Davis, Lyons junior, is in charge of the KU College Bowl and will direct selection procedures. Applications from students should be filled out by Nov. 6 at the College office, 203 Strong Hall.
Competition is tentatively set for Nov. 19.
Panel of KU officials to discuss roles today
Four top University officials will comprise a panel to discuss "Defining Faculty and Administrative Roles in University Government," during the American Association of University Professors (AAUF) meeting at 7 p.m. today in the Kansas Union.
WHAT'S INSIDE
W. Clarke Wescoe, chancellor; Francis H. Heller, acting vice-chancellor; George W. Waggoner, dean of the College; and George J. Worth, chairman of the English department, will be panel members said Milo Stucky, assistant professor of education.

'Headlines' deadline near; Living groups build displays
--houses, women's houses and pairings. The pairings are new this year and allow for one men's house and one women's house to combine their efforts. The new division also cuts the number of entries according to Jay B. Strayer, assistant to the dean of men and chairman of the decorations committee.
The deadline for "Headlines" is approaching.
For the past two weeks, KU living groups entered in the mixed competition for the Nov. 4 Homecoming's "best" decoration prizes have been building displays around a newspaper theme, "Jay-hawker Headlines."
The competition is divided into three sections this year: men's
City police called to KU, turn back 'panty raiders'
Maybe it was the chilly weather or mid-term pressures or the ample presence of police.
Instead, the frustrated men spent over an hour, aimlessly roaming up and down the east slope of Daisy Hill between Cliver and Hashinger Hall, shouting obscenities at campus and Lawrence police who quietly blocked their abortive raid.
Whatever the reason, about 150 male students of McCollum and Ellsworth Halls—try as they did—couldn't pull off a spontaneous panty raid at Oliver Hall Tuesday night.
First hint of the attempted raid came at 11 p.m. when a group of about 100 formed at Ellsworth Hall and marched downward toward Oliver. Before they could get too near the Oliver parking lot, about a half-dozen campus policemen ordered them to disperse.
Basically the same crowd—but with its numbers swelled by eager McCollum residents — formed again 30 minutes later. Another attempt on Oliver was made, but by this time eight Lawrence officers, carrying night
"Shear the Cats"
See Police, page 9
Delta Upsilon and Delta Gamma plan a picnic Sunday to start their decoration building. Their headline: "KU—The Spoilers or Hawks Shear the Cats" will show a Jayhawk shaving a Wildcat hanging from a goal post. An "appropriate" commercial theme song will play in the background, Linda Putnam, Emporia junior and Delta Gamma decorations chairman said.
Battenfeld and Watkins Scholarship Halls plan a headline reading: "K-State Stock Falls" with a Jayhawk standing over a dead cow formerly belonging to the Wildcats. Paul Morehouse, Topeka sophomore, said "We're very optimistic about the weather. In fact, last year it rained and our decorations looked better after the shower than before."
Miller and Pearson Scholarship Halls think KU has a trash problem, to their headline will read:
Plan "V-Day"
"Trash Problem Solved: Hawks Clean Up Kitty Litter." In the Pearson Hall yard will stand a Hawk with a litter bag over his shoulder where he will place small Wildcats. Kitty Johnson, Council Bluffs, Iowa, sophomore, said, "We are making an effort to build around the weather. We are using materials that will not 'melt' in the rain."
Kappa Sigma and Alpha Phi plan a "V-Day" for their decorations. Marsha Grothusen, Ellsworth junior, said a Jayhawk defending Lawrence territory, Fraser, will drive a Wildcat back into Manhattan "territory," a barn and a silo.
Miss Kemmerling said, "It rained last year and we still got first, but we hope it won't rain again this year."
Other pairing titles include: Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Kappa Gamma, "Cats Overcome by Hawks"; Grace Pearson and Douthart Scholarship Halls, "Jayhawk Headlines Throughout History"; McColum Hall East and West, "The Big Shutout"; and Naismith men and women, "K-State Football Team Arrested for Loitering on Gridiron," "Protestors Urge End the War in

"No specific issue is at stake," Stucky said. It is just a renewal of continuing interest concerning academic freedom and democratic administration.
Members of the Committee on Faculty Participation in University Government will be directing questions to the panel. They are J. Eldon Fields, political science, chairman of the committee; Theodore Bratanow, engineering; J. Lawrence Day, journalism; James Helyar, library; Frances Ingemann, linguistics; and Robert Olson, business.
Howard F. Stettler, professor of business, said although invitations were issued to faculty members only, the public is welcome. A buffet dinner will be at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Room, he said.
J. Eldon Fields said the Committee on Faculty Participation planned the program because of its interest in the roles of leading KU administrators.
Stucky said the AAUP has a chapter on every college campus.
