SUA Carnival Chooses 'Looney Too' Theme
Theme for this year's Student Union Activities Carnival will be "Looney Too," featuring cartoon characters. The carnival will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. Oct. 26, in the Union.
Preparations for the 42-year-old event are well underway and will eventually involve an estimated 500 students.
Juliana Parrott, Hutchinson senior and chairman of the production committee, said last night she was pleased with the cooperation she was receiving.
Sororities elected queen candidates Monday. They will be announced next week, with final voting the night of the Carnival. A ballot comes with the price of an 85-cent ticket which can be purchased in advance this year.
Plans for a parade in downtown Lawrence the morning of the Carnival are nearing completion.
FIVE FRATERNITIES and four sororities have turned in rough drafts of skits they intend to present at the Carnival. Thirty other living units will have booths.
The first carnival was held in Robinson Gymnasium in 1920 with a "Patriotism" theme—a motif with national significance as a wave of "good feeling" swept the country. A record crowd of 1,500 persons turned out.
The carnival has been shifted from building to building through the years. In 1930 it was moved from the gymnasium to the Union. In 1931 the booths were in the stadium and the skits were held in Fraser Theater.
In 1932 the use of blue material in some of the skits caused KU administrator's to withdraw support
and financial difficulties assailed the carnival.
An intramural tourney was combined with booths and skits in the stadium in 1935 but despite the athletic help the carnival fizzled. Then, after a five-year absence, a joint effort by SUA and YWCA members revived the tradition.
From the Hoch Auditorium stage the skits moved in 1944 to the Military Science Building where they remained until 1953. After that year the carnival journeyed to its present home in the Union.

The department of Radio and Television of the School of Journalism has been invited to compete in the production of a full length television film concerning blindness.
Gregor Ziemer, director of public education for the American Foundation for the Blind, said that the data for the film would be found by the competing departments of radio and television throughout the nation.
"There are unlimited sources from which the colleges can draw material for their shows: local agencies, state or federal bureaus for the blind, or from the foundation," he said.
The four categories in the competition are fifteen minute and half hour dramas and documentaries. All productions must concern some aspect of blindness.
