Variety of Events Scheduled For 50th KU Homecoming
Plans for KU's 50th annual Homecoming, now only two weeks away, are nearly complete.
Alumni, parents, faculty members, and students participating in the event—which begins at 4 p.m. Nov. 10 with alumni registration—will find a wide variety of events from which to choose, ranging from the University Theatre production of "Auntie Mame" to the football game with Kansas State University.
THREE HOMECOMING EVENTS are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 10. At 7 p.m., a varsity-freshman basketball game will be held in Allen Field House. Tickets for the game are $1.00.
The University Theatre production of "Auntie Mame" will begin at 9 p.m. in Murphy Hall. The production is being held especially for returning alumni. Students and faculty members are reminded that student identification cards or season tickets will not admit them to this performance. Admission to the performance is $1.50.
The third alternative being offered Friday night is a display of decorations at various organized houses on the campus.
ALL DECORATIONS THIS year are based on the theme of "Musical Comedies." More than 40 organized houses have already entered this year's decoration contest, using either an episode, a character or a song from a musical comedy as the basis for their exhibit.
"We have entries from 'Kiss Me Kate,' 'Can-Can,' 'Damn Yankees,' and many other musical comedies," said Kenneth Rothwell, assistant professor of English and chairman of the house decorations committee.
"The committee considered 60 themes before selecting this one," he
said, "and as far as I know, KU has never used a musical comedies theme before."
HOUSES ENTERING the contest are divided into four groups; sororities, women's residence and scholarship halls, fraternities and men's residence and scholarship halls.
A total of 11 prizes.will be awarded to the best decorations in the four classes. A first, second, and third prize cup will be awarded to the three top entries in the sorority, fraternity and men's residence hall classes. First and second prize cups will be awarded in the women's residence and scholarship hall class.
Saturday morning will feature three open house receptions: the department of home economics open house, held from 9-11 in the home economics department dining room. Fraser Hall; the School of Business open house, from 9-11 in 208 Summerfield Hall; and the School of Law open house, held from 10 to 1 p.m. in the Library of Green Hall.
A GENERAL HOMECOMING reception will be held from 9-11 a.m. Saturday in the Lounge of the Kansas Union.
At the same time, the sixth annual engineering alumni reception will be held in the Music and Browsing Room of the Kansas Union.
Saturday morning will also feature free sightseeing bus tours of the campus from 9 to 11. The tours will begin at the Kansas Union.
A HOMECOMING BUFFET luncheon will be served in the Ball- room of the Kansas Union from 10:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The 1961 Homecoming queen and her two attendants, yet to be chosen, will attend the luncheon. The price of the luncheon is $1.55.

During half-time ceremonies the 1961 queen and her two attendants will be crowned. The 1950 Homecoming queen, Mrs. Ada Waugh, will also be honored.
This year's Homecoming dance, held from 9 p.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday, in the Ballroom and the cafeteria of the Kansas Union features a new twist — two bands.
